Chapter 1265

Ryan’s heart was pumping hard when he saw the maid being all anxious.

He was worried that something might have happened to Madeline. He shoved Naomi’s hand away and sprinted to the bedroom.

However, as soon as he entered the bedroom, there was a loud bang and a vase was suddenly smashed beside his leg.

Slivers of the broken vase pieces almost had slit his face, but Ryan did not dodge.

He stepped right on the pieces of the broken vase and walked into the room.

Madeline was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The dishes served by the maids were all scattered on the floor while fresh blood was dripping down beside Madeline’s leg. The blood came from her finger.

Nevertheless, she did not move an inch and kept standing under the blazing sunlight of summer like a noble statue.

“Get out,” Ryan ordered both the maids.

Despite him blurting out icy cold comments, he had a warm expression on her face. It was rather contradicting.

The maids did not delay any further and quickly ran out.

Naomi had followed after Ryan, but before she could even have a look at what was going on in the room, the maids were hurriedly running out and closed the door shut.

“What’s going on inside? What did that woman, Eveline, do?” Naomi asked out of curiosity.

The maids just looked at Naomi and got down to their knees to clean up the pieces of the broken vase at the doorway.

Naomi clenched her teeth and glared at the door that was closed shut, feeling dissatisfied. She changed her mind and thought back to the request Ryan mentioned earlier. It made her heart tremble.

She gradually raised her hand and touched her face, then slowly, a wicked smile was plastered on her face…

In the room.

Ryan sauntered to Madeline’s side.

He saw that she was injured by the shards from the broken vase. Her finger was still bleeding. He stretched out his hand to grab hers. Madeline immediately retrieved her hand to evade him.

“Don’t touch me,” she said each word with a domineering vibe.

Ryan’s deep eyes became dark. He attempted for the second time and grabbed Madeline’s wrist by force.

While Madeline was trying to evade, she raised her hand and slapped Ryan’s face.

“Ryan, I don’t want to see you.” Madeline felt disgusted and pushed him away, then walked to the doorway of the room.

Ryan saw Madeline’s figure that was leaving him. Just when she was about to open the door and head outside, he went over and suddenly grasped her hand. He pulled her back to him, pressing her against the wall.

Madeline wanted to escape, but she did not have the strength to do so. Both her hands were being grasped tightly in Ryan’s hands.

“I’ve said it before. Don’t make me angry.” Ryan’s icy stare was fixed on Madeline’s eyes.

“You’re the one who’s making me angry.” Madeline looked straight back at him with an indifferent look.

“Listen up, Ryan, no matter what you do, I’ll never change my mind and my perseverance.”

“So you’d rather let yourself bleed than accept my kind offer?” Ryan’s eyes seemed to be glistening with dissatisfaction.

Madeline turned around disdainfully, not willing to look at Ryan.

Ryan slowly inched closer while staring at her mesmerizing side profile. He attempted to kiss Madeline, but after he saw disgust in her eyes, it made him feel unpleasant.

Madeline was strong, like a plum blossom as she was not even fazed by Ryan’s existence.

“Do you know why I hate Jeremy so much? Do you also know what place this is?” Ryan’s tone seemed to have softened. Seeing that Madeline was still ignoring him, he extended his hand and grabbed her chin, forcing her to face him.

As they were inches apart, Ryan could even sniff out the fragrance on Madeline’s body. He admitted that it made his heartbeat racing.

At the end of the day, he was still defeated by his own affection for her.

“Eveline, there’s still a long time ahead. As long as I stop you from meeting Jeremy again in this lifetime, you’ll slowly become mine.”
