Bethany fell heavily to the ground. Her swollen mouth rendered her speechless, leaving only tears.
âStop it! Please, stop!â cried Carrie, her tears flowing uncontrollably, and her sobbing resembling that of
a five-year-old. Each teardrop hit Ryanâs shoulder like a hammer, leaving him heartbroken.
âOkay, okay⦠Iâll stop hitting Bethany. Darling, please donât cry. Iâll do as you say, I promise,â Ryan
consoled Carrie, gently patting her back.
Even David, who has been driving for Ryan for over a decade, was left
dumbfounded.
This remarkable young girl has not only brought their young master down from his pedestal but has
also healed him.
Since his fatherâs passing, Ryan has been living in the shadows, growing increasingly cold and
ruthless, mocking life and devoid of
emotions.
However, Carrieâs arrival has transformed Ryan. She turned him into a person capable of feeling
emotions, laughter, and tears. Itâs truly a
remarkable change.
Carrie gradually calmed her fluctuating emotions, sobbing softly in Ryanâs embrace.
In her typical lively and innocent demeanor, Carrie often made Ryan
forget that his cherished wife was not just an ordinary girl. She had
autism.
Ryan kept this a secret from Carrie, sending people both domestically and internationally in search of
treatments, but to no avail. He received advice that her condition required psychological guidance and
enduring patience. The journey was long and agonizing, one that
few could endure.
Yet, he was determined to persevere
Carrie was his partner. Having chosen her, he decided never to
abandon her and to stand by her side for life.
âRyan⦠Thank you. Thank you for not hitting my sister,â Carrie whispered softly.
âBethany hurt you, insulted you, and hit you. Why are you still trying to protect her?â Ryanâs brow
furrowed with concern, but his tone
remained gentle.
âBecause sheâs my sister⦠Mom and Dad really like her. Theyâre
always happy to see her. I donât want to upset them or see them sad because of my sisterâs injuries.â
Carrie sniffed.
It was a strange logic, unheard of before.
To please her parents, Carrie was willing to forgive someone who had
left her battered and bruisedâ¦
Ryan felt a surge of bitterness in his throat, and his heart felt pierced by a thousand needles.
âCarrie, youâre such a kind person.â
âYouâre so incredibly kind that it brings tears to my eyes. Your
kindness, like a beacon of light, illuminates my dark life. Youâre so out
of place, yet I yearn so desperately to hold onto you.â Lost in his thoughts, Ryan suddenly felt Carrieâs
lips press against his trembling
throat.
Sensations of desire clouded his mind, causing his muscles to tense

David, the chauffeur, remained composed, raising the privacy screen in the back seat without a word.
The backseat quickly turned into a private space.
âCarrie, youâre getting naughty.â Ryanâs forehead glistened with sweat, his gaze deepening as he
wrapped his arms around her waist.
âIâm not naughty. How could I ever be naughty to you? I just⦠I just wanted to thank you.â
Carrie blinked her clear eyes, her lips pouting. âWell⦠Itâs okay, then., Pretend I didnât say anythingâ¦
Hmph!â
Ryan immediately claimed her lips, consuming her breath.
