Meeting The One For Me

When Audrey felt like she was on the brink of suffocation, Ryan finally released her lips.

He carefully observed Audrey, who was panting heavily, tears clinging to her lashes.

Her eyes couldn’t focus due to the lack of oxygen, giving her a somewhat dazed but cute

appearance.

Ryan’s breathing was even heavier now than when he had just let go of Audrey. His voice was hoarse when he asked, “Does this count as agreeing to continue our marriage?”

Audrey had drained all her strength just by kissing.

She nodded faintly. “But I don’t want anyone else to know yet. I’m afraid Mr. Lambert Senior might notice; I haven’t figured out how to tell him and the others yet. Can we keep it between us for now?”

Ryan leaving the Lambert family had already angered George; he might just explode in rage if he found out she was with Ryan.

Audrey more afraid that George would connect the two incidents and end up despising her.

Despite being related by blood, Audrey understood that George’s care for Ryan ran deeper than his care for her. After all, Ryan had always been groomed to be his successor.

Now that her relationship with George and Wanda had finally progressed, she didn’t want to ruin this hard–earned bond.

How could Ryan not understand Audrey’s concerns? He knew her so well, and he understood her desire for a family.

Plus, in order to take care of Audrey properly, he had previously claimed blood relations between Audrey’s birth mother and his own family, making him appear as Audrey’s distant relative in the eyes of outsiders.

“But, I’m possessive. I don’t like you touching other men, accepting steaks cut by others, accepting others‘ jackets, or even smiling at others–including women.”

Audrey gazed into Ryan’s eyes, noticing the intensity of his emotions, which caused her

heart to race even more..

The words “including women” brought a profound sensation to Audrey that was as stimulating as the intense kiss just moments ago.

She tightly gripped her dress, her breathing becoming erratic once again.

Indeed, as Audrey had said, Ryan was extremely adept at controlling his emotions. Yet he couldn’t shake off feelings of hostility toward the men around Audrey. He even found her. female companions‘ intimate gestures toward her irritating.

“I just want to bind you to me forcibly, so only I can see you, hold you, kiss you, and possess you day and night.”

Ryan kissed Audrey’s lips, his magnetic voice sending shivers down her spine.

He didn’t know if this level of honesty today would scare Audrey away, but he needed to be

sure.

Such a suffocating intensity of emotion could make one want to escape.

This was the beast that Ryan suppressed deep in his heart.
