Chapter 236
I had grown to love what he loves.
How could I feel forced?
Ryanâs dark eyes glittered, compelling. âThen Iâm not forcing myself either. Come on, eat.â
I couldnât bear it. âYour stomach canât take it.â
âYouâve been doing this for three years, canât I do it even once? Youâre underestimating me too much,â he spoke earnestly.
I lowered my eyes. âThen do as you wish.â
After dinner, he took the initiative to wash the dishes, and I continued to work without guilt.
Unlike Jack, I would feel embarrassed if Jack washed dishes, after all, we were just ordinary friends,
But him, I had taken care of him for three years. Now, if he cooked and washed the dishes, it wasnât too much.
âDo you have any stomach medicine?â
While I was studying the style of the companyâs first batch of new products, Ryan rubbed his stomach and settled into the nearby sofa.
I couldnât help but want to laugh. I poured a cup of medicine and placed
it in front of him. âDidnât you say I was underestimating you?â
His stomach had been damaged shortly after taking over the Frost family. He was dissatisfied both above and below, often too busy to eat all day to appease shareholders and his subordinates. Social engagements also kept him drinking glass after glass of alcohol on an empty stomach. It wouldnât be odd for his stomach to be bad.

was momentarily surprised. âBack then, I was a mess with worry.â
When I saw him uncomfortable, I tried my best, researching various dietary methods, bolling stomach nourishing soup every day, not daring
to show off at the presidentâs office, just waiting for him to return to
drink it
He grabbed my arm suddenly and pulled me hard. âAnd now?â
I unexpectedly fell into his arms, familiar warmth enveloping me. The manâs body heat burned my skin inch by inch, and my heart stopped for a moment involuntarily.
Ambiguity spread.
I scrambled up in a panic. âNow, Iâd like to ask if you could leave after taking your medicine. Itâs getting late
I couldnât continue like this.
âCharlotte, donât easily fall into his trap again.â
Ryan visibly fell into disappointment. His thin lips formed a straight line, and he remained silent.
âDrink it or itâll get cold.â
I pointed at the medicine and turned to go back to the room.
Just as I was about to enter the room, the manâs voice sounded, slightly tense, âCan I⦠not leave tonight?â
âYou can only sleep on the sofa.â
After saying this. I went straight into the room.
it was unsafe for him to drive with a stomachache. If something happened it would be on my head, and it was too much trouble to have Gary come to pick him up so late.
it was not because I was softâhearted
Before falling asleep, this thought vaguely surfaced.
I wasnât softâhearted.
The next day, I walked out of the room and saw the huge lump on the sofa, and only then did I come back to my senses.
Gradually, memories of last night also returned.
Winter sunlight poured in, a blanket draped over the man, curled up on the sofa in a disgruntled manner, breathing softly, looking unexpectedly harmless.
However, it didnât last long.
The phone rang abruptly, and he woke up blearyâeyed, picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered after a few words.
It should be Gary. He hung up after a few words.
Ryan looked at the time, sat up, looked at me with some regret. âIt seems that only when Iâm closer to you, I can sleep so peacefully.â
I looked at him and said cruelly, âBut, now I feel more at ease when youâre further away.â
His fingers curled lightly, staring into my eyes, his voice still hoarse from just waking up, finishing his sentence.
âDo⦠do you still hate me?â

âItâs not that bad.â
Not to the point of hating, I just wanted a more peaceful life.
I pursed my lips. âAre you free today? Letâs get the divorce certificate.
