Louis lowered his head and looked at Ryleigh. “But what happened between us is all in the past now. I
won’t talk to her anymore if you don’t like it.”
Ryleigh didn’t expect him to follow her wishes and didn’t know what to say at that moment. It even made
her feel that she was being petty and finding fault where there was none.
“Ryleigh,” Louis held her cheeks and leaned closer, “We never did anything in our six years of
relationship. You’re the only one I’ve touched.”
Ryleigh’s face turned red, and she raised her hands and pushed him away. She then lowered her head
and said, “Enough.”
Louis added, “Yesterday was the first time…
I hurt you. I’ll do better- Mm.”
Ryleigh covered his mouth, her face red as a tomato. “I said stop.”
Louis held her hand and kissed her fingers. Her mind went blank and almost started smoking.
He continued kissing her, forgetting how fierce he had been the night before, and was instead gentle.
Ryleigh fell into his arms and forgot to push him away.
After Ryleigh and Louis got back together, her mood went from moody for the past two days to looking as
though she was love-struck, grinning every now and then.
Maisie and Barbara couldn’t stand it.
Cough, if you’re back together, it’s time to think about marriage.” Maisie picked up her teacup and took a
sip from it.
Ryleigh’s smile froze when she heard the word ‘marriage’ and immediately snapped out of it. “Marriage?
That’s too soon.” Barbara chuckled. “You’ve been engaged for three years. That’s not soon.”
“But I’m not ready yet.” Ryleigh lowered her head and tugged at her shirt. She had cold feet. Barbara
laughed. “Sure, don’t you come crying if he leaves one day.” Ryleigh pouted but didn’t say anything.
Maisie put down the teacup and looked at Barbara. “Don’t just focus on pushing Ryleigh. You’re not
going to get out of this either.”
Barbara paused, and with Ryleigh laughing, she was going to say something but stopped, putting her
hand to her forehead.” Forget it.” Ryleigh leaned closer to her. “Forget it? You’ve kissed my cousin, and
now you plan to abandon him?” Barbara was rendered speechless.
Ryleigh continued. “I lost $100 because of that. You should make it up.”
Babara took a sip of her tea to avoid answering.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the restaurant.
Everyone looked toward the noise and saw a woman splash tea all over a man’s face.
The man shot up and yelled, “Are you crazy?” “Why would you trigger me if you knew that I’m crazy? I
must have been blind to fall for a con like you.” The woman picked up her bag and stomped away.
The man took some napkins and wiped off the tea on his face. He noticed that all eyes were on him and
yelled back, “What are you looking at?”
Barbara was shocked when she saw his face and immediately calmed down.
Maisie noticed that, and when she was going to ask, the man looked at Barbara while he was leaving
and walked past their table.
The man gave a broad smile and walked over, wiping off the tea on his shoulder. “I thought my eyes
were playing tricks on me. Isn’t this Ms. Yelena Chase?”
Ryleigh questioned, “Barbara, do you know him?”
Barbara’s hand on the table curled, but she didn’t answer.
The man looked at Maisie and Ryleigh and clicked his tongue. “These two beauties are your friends?
Introduce us, won’t you?”
