Let's Get Married

Chapter 588: He Is Not My Husband

It will take almost two hours to drive to Q City. Only when they are halfway through, Adair falls asleep in the back seat already.

It is so quiet in the car. To be considerate for Adair, Eunice reminds Ryan in a low voice, "Can you drive slowly? Adair is sleeping now."

Ryan glances at the rearview mirror. After seeing Adair is sleeping soundly, he slows down the car.

Eunice is relieved seeing that Ryan listens to her. Then she hears Ryan asking, "Did you put on makeup today?"

Eunice thought that any straight man like Ryan wouldn't even notice when a girl puts on makeup. She is so surprised hearing Ryan asking so. Her face gets blushed, she turns her head away, her hands are rubbing together out of nervousness, "Umm…yes."

"Because of the boy just now?"

"What?" Eunice is stunned and doesn't understand what he means. It takes a while before she understands who he is talking about. Then she hurriedly explains, "That's the senior of the broadcasting department. I joined his department. I just met him when I was on my way to the car."

Eunice can’t help wondering, does Ryan think that I do makeup because of Cameron?

Hearing that, Ryan’s depressed expression doesn’t change much. He asks with a deep voice, "Do you like him?"

Eunice widens her eyes in shock, and points at her face, "Me? How could it be possible? I don't even know him..."

"Why did you two hug together if you don’t even know him?"

"When did I hug him? I just happened to run into him. I..." Eunice stops abruptly when she is trying to explain. Her beautiful eyes blink, and she suddenly realizes something, "Ah, I know what you mean. We didn’t hug together. There was something on my hair just now; he helped me take it off."

Speaking of this, Eunice finally understands what Ryan is talking about. Is it possible that the reason he is being moody since she gets in the car is that he saw her with Cameron?

Well…

Even if she is with Cameron, why is he unhappy?

Is he jealous of it?

When the word ‘jealous’ flashes through Eunice's mind, she gets so shocked and subconsciously rejects it.

Eunice keeps thinking, how can a man like Ryan be jealous because of her? Not to mention that they are just ordinary friends? He has a deeply loved woman in his heart, and he will never put attention to her. If it weren't for Adair, they will be always strangers.

Thinking of this, Eunice feels worse and worse.

After hearing Eunice’s explanation, Ryan feels better suddenly. As for why he felt bad when he saw Eunice was hugging a boy, he doesn't want to think about it more.

"If you have something in your hair, take it yourself. What you were doing on the side of the road will give others a bad impression."

Eunice is taken aback by what he says. Then she purses her lips and says, "What do you mean of a bad impression..."

Not to mention that what they were doing has no ambiguous meaning. It is now in the 21st century. There are so many young couples hugging and kissing in the street. No one will be surprised and make a big deal about it. Compared to those couples, what she did is nothing.

When she thinks that Ryan won’t say more about it anymore, unexpectedly, she hears Ryan saying, "People will misunderstand you."

She didn't intend to have any illusions about him in her heart, but after hearing what he says, she still can't hold back, and said straightforwardly, "Will you misunderstand?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly it becomes so quiet in the car.

Eunice regrets it immediately. She can’t believe what she just said. She can’t help blame herself in her heart that why in the world would she ask him like this?

It is silent for a long time. Just when she thinks that Ryan won’t answer her anymore, she hears him asking with a light smile, "Do you want me to misunderstand you?"

"I didn't say that!" Eunice immediately explains as if someone knows her secret, "I, I, I just ask casually."

Seeing Eunice’s red face, Ryan doesn’t say more.

...

When they finally arrive in Q City, it is already completely dark outside. The car is parked in the garage of a six-star hotel. The housekeeper carefully distributes the room card to every one of them. Adair and Ryan will share a room. Eunice will have her own room.

After seeing the assignment, Eunice gets relieved. But she doesn’t know that Ryan is watching her. When she suddenly sees him watching her, she gets so nervous suddenly. She pretends that nothing

happens and walks normally to the elevator.

After checking in, it is already 7:30 in the evening. Eunice puts aside her luggage and goes to the next door to look for Ryan and Adair. Ryan never has an interest in traveling. Luckily, Eunice searches and studies some about the city before they come.

There is a food stall not far from the hotel where the seafood is very delicious. It is highly rated on the Internet. She suggests going there. Adair naturally agrees with her happily, and Ryan doesn’t disagree.

Because the food stall is very close to the hotel, the three of them will walk over. Eunice walks behind, while Ryan was holding Adair’s hand walking in front. Looking at their backs, somehow Eunice feels warm in her heart.

Eunice has never thought that Ryan could be such a warm person. He is always so cold that everyone thinks that he will be alone in his life, but it turns out that there is also a soft spot in his heart. However, it is so hard to get into his heart. Only a few people in the world are in his heart now that he cares about. Adair is one of them, and Adair’s mother is another one.

The wind breezes on her face which makes her smell salty. Eunice looks down at the asphalt road under her feet. She does not know that the moment she lowers her head, Ryan who is walking in front happens to turn his head and watch her. Seeing her following silently behind without being dropped too far, Ryan turns back and walks straight forward.

After walking for nearly twelve or thirteen minutes, they see the popular food stalls on the side of the road from a distance. Several rows of ponies are placed on the side of the road, with colorful plastic sheets on top. There are several large pots in front and a long row of grills with fresh live seafood next to it.

Ryan frowns before he walks nearby. Seeing a few men even sitting shirtless and drinking makes him feel disgusted and uncomfortable, "This is where you said before?"

Ryan thought it would be an ordinary place, but he didn't expect it would be so ordinary, even disgusting like this.

Eunice nods, without being aware of his reluctance. She is very familiar with this kind of environment. After smelling the scent, her appetite is greatly increased, "Let's go and find a seat."

Adair doesn’t show any reluctance. Instead, he takes his hand out from Ryan and turns to hold Eunice’s. After walking a few steps, they realize Ryan doesn’t follow them.

Eunice looks back. Seeing his reluctant expression, Eunice finally realizes what is going on. She turns back to stand in front of Ryan. Ryan is way taller than her. Eunice looks up at him and says, "How about you try once? The taste is actually much better than it looks. I searched on the Internet. Many locals will come. And they say that the ingredients are very fresh. Don’t look down on such a stall. The taste is not worse than that of a big hotel."

Ryan doesn’t change his mind at all after hearing what she says. In fact, Ryan doesn’t like the environment for sure, but the most important reason is that he doesn’t like to eat with so many strangers, especially with some topless men.

Seeing Ryan not moving at all, Eunice bites her lip and decides in her heart. She suddenly grabs his wrist and drags him forward, "Come on. Try it. We can leave if it doesn’t taste good..."

Ryan gets taken aback, his body gets freeze for a few seconds. His eyes narrow slightly. Seeing her little soft hand grasping him, he feels the warmth from his hand quickly transferring to his heart. He struggles for a second, but he feels that she only grabs him even tighter. He can’t see her expression. What he can see is only her black hair on her back. Then he hears her saying, "We will order a few dishes to taste later. We are already here. Let’s just have a try…"
