Chapter 778
Tia had been keeping her head down, not looking at Ryder.
She really didn’t want Ryder to misunderstand.
In that case, why did I still agree to play his girlfriend? Ah, what was I
thinking?!
Ryder also sat down, keeping a distance of a few feet from Tia.
Then, he thought he wasn’t behaving right. What’s the matter with you,
Ryder? You’re a grown man, and Tia had come all the way here. So, why are
you behaving like a wuss?!
He thought about quietly scooting closer, but then he withdrew again. Would
Tia think I’m trying to make a move?
Alas, back when he was with Abellyn, he never felt this way. They got married
2
in a whirlwind and became husband and wife-what couldn’t they do
together?
However, with Tia, he felt a desire to get closer mixed with a fear of it.
Is this possibly love? He felt somewhat bashful. He was already a
36-year-old man with an independent child, yet he was only now
experiencing his first love. What a joke!
“Ah!” Ryder suddenly let out a cry of pain. His attention was so scattered that
he accidentally cut his thumb while peeling an apple. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
“Ryder, are you okay?” Tia quickly sat down next to him, without the hesitation
of a man like him.
“It’s… It’s nothing, just a little scratch!” Ryder put his thumb in his mouth at
once, using the age-old method to stop the bleeding.
Tia was a bit speechless. Still, she quickly stood up and said, “I’ll go find.a
band-aid for you!”
Just as she was about to go find one, Emmanuel had already come out and
handed her something.
It was a band-aid!
“T-Thank you!” Tia felt nothing out of the ordinary when facing Ryder just now,
but now that she saw Emmanuel, her heart started racing.
“Could you help my cousin?”
“Okay.” Tia nodded at Emmanuel with an enigmatic feeling before turning to
sit beside Ryder.
Emmanuel, satisfied th.. the two moved closer, disappeared again.
While Tia carefully tended to Ryder’s wound, her racing heart calmed down.
“Ryder, on the other hand, was nervous and stiff. He caught the fragrance of
orchids in Tia and found it rather pleasant.
“Ryder, can you help me with something?”
Just as the atmosphere was becoming incredibly romantic, a call from the
kitchen broke the spell.
“Oh, okay!” Ryder, being the sincere person he was, jumped up as if
compelled by his helpful nature.
But very quickly, he thought it wasn’t right, and he said to Tia while scratching
his head, “I… I’ll go help out in the kitchen.”
“Okay…” Tia just nodded without any hint of jealousy.
Ryder didn’t think much about it and walked straight to the kitchen.
The moment he entered, his body, which had just relaxed, immediately
tensed up again, harder than pure steel!
Ruby opened the gas cabinet and bent down to inspect the gas tank. Her
posterior was facing Ryder, swaying it sideways accidentally on purpose.
She was wearing black stockings and a short skirt, and the angle was just
right. The breathtaking view inside was unexpectedly revealed to Ryder.
“It seems like we’re out of gas. Can you help me change the tank?”
Ruby acted as if she had no idea that her secret was being scrutinized by a
man. She continued to twist the gas bottle from side to side.
She wanted to escalate the scene.
