Let's Get Married

Chapter 584: The Experience Gained from the Previous Relationship

Long ago when Lorraine had to raise Eunice and Thomas who were still young, she also went door to door to borrow some money if she really encountered a difficult time. All the neighbours and relatives had lent her in which some lent one to two thousand yuan and some lent a few hundred yuan. Those who only lent a little amount would show the same expression as him when Lorraine went to return the money.

They told Lorraine that she did not need to return the money but the subtext was actually asking her not to contact them again in the future.

Eunice takes a deep breath with some grievance unconsciously, “I know four hundred thousand yuan is just an insignificant amount of money to you but for me, it’s the money which can save my mom’s life. It’s okay if you don’t care, but I can’t. I work hard to earn money to return it to you because I don’t want others to look down on me and I don’t want to be despised by you. I know my capability is limited and I can only pay you back this amount of money. This is already all I have; you still want to throw it away?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Looking at her eyes which rapidly turn red, the depression in Ryan’s heart becomes more intense. For him, money is just a number and cash are just pieces of papers. She is the one who wants to hurriedly give him back the money but how come he, himself also becomes anxious?

He thinks about the meaning of her words. Is she doing all this to avoid being despised by him?

This thought flashes through Ryan’s mind and makes his heart feels more comfortable. He gazes at the tear-reddened eyes which are glowing in fury. Then, he reaches out his hand and clasps her jaw, “Is my opinion important to you?”

Ryan initially thinks that she will dodge this question and hesitate but she surprisingly nods and admits directly, “Yes, it’s very important.”

He feels that his heart is apparently struck by something. He subconsciously frowns and hears the heartbeats.

Ryan’s eyes are riveted at her, “Why?”

Eunice originally wants to say ‘Because I owe you money’ but when she looks into those attractive eyes, she suddenly keeps silent, not knowing how to answer.

Two minutes pass and she does not reply. They are somewhat dazed to look at each other.

Ryan’s hand which is holding her jaw uses some strength that is not that strong to make her feels pain. He makes a nasal, “Hmm?”

“Because…” she speaks softly, hesitating for a moment to find a less awkward-sounding reason, “I don’t want our relationship to involve money and material things.”

So the reason she wishes to return the money is not that she wants to cut all the relationship with him, but because she wants to make their relationship simpler? Ryan’s face looks better when he thinks about it.

“Does what kind of relationship between you and I really matter to you?”

“…”

Eunice’s scalp feels numb due to his stare as she does not understand the purpose that he asks this question. But, she cannot hold back the agitation in her heart, “What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing.” Ryan withdraws his hand and gazes at her small hand holding the envelope. For the first time, he compromises and reaches out to take the envelope. He raises his hand and shakes it under her eyes, “If you want to return the money to me, return it on time. Give me the money on the same date as today every month.”

Eunice is stunned. When she regains her presence of mind, she cannot help but curl into a pleasant smile, “Okay! But…do you have a convenient account? I can do a transaction.”

“My accounts are a bit troublesome, so you better give me cash,” he declines without even thinking about it.

Eunice is clear that he is not an ordinary person. Hearing his answer, she does not insist anymore. But if in this case, they will have to meet each other once a month. According to the rate of money she can return to him, the matter that they have to meet each other will probably last a very long time.

Doesn’t he feel troublesome?

What Eunice does not know is that if Ryan feels troublesome, he will never let her give cash.

“I’m planning to take Adair to Q city next weekend to see the sea. Prepare for it if you have time,” he suddenly speaks.

Eunice thinks in her mind about the time and says, “I’m free next weekend. My class ends on Friday.”

Seeing her agree with it, Ryan’s heart is relieved. His voice is much more genial, “I’ll fetch you in school on Friday.”

It is just a normal sentence but when Eunice hears it, it makes her slightly squirms. She is not an easily shy person but when facing Ryan…

While contemplating, Eunice suddenly notices a familiar figure outside the car. Sitting in the passenger seat, she is startled. Isn’t, isn’t that Thomas!?

Out of the blue, Thomas turns his head to take a look at the car. He cannot see her through the dark car film but maybe he will look into the car through the windshield later, there is no film on the windshield…

Ryan’s luxury car is too easy to make others misunderstand.

Eunice’s heart leaps to her throat and her behaviour reacts faster than her sense. In the next second, she quickly bends down her body that her whole body is lying between the two front seats in a horizontal posture. And the place where her face is facing is the part between Ryan’s legs, it’s quite embarrassing…

Apparently, Ryan is bewildered for a second by her sudden action. He frowns and wants to lift her up but as soon as he grabs the back of her neck, he hears Eunice’s lowered voice, “Don’t, don’t, my younger brother is outside, if he sees me, I’ll surely die!”

He originally intended to pull her up, but pauses at the moment. He looks out of the car window and sees that there is a tall, thin, fair and clean young man standing outside.

This is…her younger brother?

While thinking about it, he subconsciously moves his fingertips. His somewhat coarse finger pulp touches her fair neck and he suddenly has a playful mind.

“Is he gone?!” Eunice’s face is already as red as an apple. She hurriedly asks him but she does not dare to get up.

Ryan looks at Thomas who is holding a phone and walking towards the other side, and tells a lie without blushing, “No.”

Eunice is tingling with immense nervousness. She can feel the big hand on her neck is teasing her but she does not dare to make complaint although she wishes to. This is because she is afraid that Ryan will throw her out of the car. Therefore, she can only endure the strange sensation on her neck with a face that is blushed with anger.

After a while, the phone in her pocket buzzes and vibrates. She takes it out with difficulty due to her current posture. It is Thomas calling.

She clears her throat and picks up the call, trying to make her voice sounds normal, “Hello, Thomas?”

“Sister, where are you, didn’t you say you’ll go to the convenience store? But you’re still not back yet, Mom is waiting for you to have the meal,” Thomas’s urging voice comes out from the microphone.

Eunice gives a hollow laugh twice, “Oh, I’ll immediately go upstairs after I’ve finished buying things, don’t need to wait for me, I’ll go back in a few minutes,”

The sister and brother grow up together since childhood so Thomas knows her very well. He jokes and probes while asking, “Sister, you’re not going to meet someone in secret, right?”

Thomas’s voice is loud and the phone volume is turned to its maximum. All the words enter Ryan’s ears. His hand that is pinching her neck suddenly increases some strength.

Eunice’s heart pounds and it almost leaps out of her throat. She can only pretend to be calm, “Who can I meet, it hasn’t been ten minutes in total since I come down. Alright, I have to stop talking with you now, I’ll go back after the bill.”

“Oh, then I’ll wait for you at home.”

Finished speaking, Eunice quickly hangs up the phone. Her hand that is clutching the phone feels clammy. After she heaves a sigh of relief, she hears a male voice coming from her head, “Eunice, have you ever had a boyfriend?”

“…”

This unexpected question makes Eunice a bit overwhelmed and she replies, “Yes.”

“Oh?” Ryan obviously does not trust her words. His big palm is raised as he patted on her head twice, “So, although it is just coming out to meet me, you also have to feel scared that you even have to hide?”

“…” Eunice is speechless. She does not know how to argue with him.

Ryan cannot see her face but he can also feel her feeling by just looking at the back of her head. He is not willing to stop teasing her, “Is this the experience you gained from the previous relationship?”
