Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Julian hoped that Ryan wouldn’t deduct his bonus out of anger.

After closing the door, Audrey placed the pajamas on the couch and avoided Ryan’s gaze. “I have to watch the experiment recordings, so you should rest up,” she prompted softly.

“Audrey.” He held a cigarette between his lips and lit it. “How about straightening things out between us first?” She clutched the hem of her clothes.

Ryan had always been straightforward about his feelings for her, but what about her?

Did she like him?

She did. However, George wouldn’t like the idea of them getting together.

She mustered enough courage to look at him. “We can secure a date for a divorce.”

That didn’t anger him. He sat on the restarm of the couch and pulled her in front of him with the same hand that was pinching the cigarette.

“Ask yourself. Do you really dislike my kisses and having sex with me?” He asked slowly. “I can feel that... you yearn for me. It means that you at least like me, doesn’t it?”

“| admit it.” Clenching her fists, she raised her head to meet his eyes. “I like you.”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Even if it was a subtle brush by the skin, a mere eye-to-eye contact, or his hand around her wrist, they made her heart beat wildly all the same.

Not even Nathan had given her such feelings in the past.

Her yearnings for him seemed to only grow over time. His gazes, actions, and scent were too much for her to rein her urges in. Such a feeling was unfamiliar yet thrilling to her.

Was it love? She wasn’t sure about that, but she did know that she liked him.

In fact, her feelings for him were more like desire.

It was embarrassing for Audrey, who had only dated once, to admit that, but that was the

truth.

“But our relationship is too complicated. Will Mr. Lambert Senior let us be together? If we get together, how will the outsiders see the Lambert family? 1 care about this more than anything, more than my life.” Her eyes were welling up with tears.

“| won't be one of the Lambert family soon. After all these years, Lambert Corporation will be able to stand on its footing. This is my way of thanking them for raising me up.” He lowered his gaze as his finger caressed her wrist. “When you can officially take over the Lambert family, I'll be able to return to my family.”

“Your family? | thought you didn’t have anyone.” Audrey was baffled.

Squeezing her wrist, Ryan pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arm over her waist.” Didn't | tell you my real name?” “You have a family? Does Mr. Lambert Senior know about this?”

He inhaled the cigarette. Noticing her frown, he pulled the ashtray on the table to discard his cigarette.

Chuckling lightly, he revealed, “I have a family. You, Lily, and Dallas are my family.”

“| mean your real family.”

He hummed in response. “My real family is dead, and I’m the only one. That is exactly the reason why | have to return. So, there’s no need to be bothered by our current relationship. Just ask yourself.

“Are you willing to be with me? Do you like me? It doesn’t matter if it’s simply because... “Ryan brushed her hair to the back of her ear. “... you like having kisses and sex with me.

Her balled fists became clammy at his blunt remarks.
