Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 38

Ryan couldn’t sleep all night. He had a tired look on his handsome face, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.

“Is Ms. Audrey alright?”

Julian had worked with Ryan for many years. He knew everything that Ryan knew about Audrey. This was the first time he had seen her so emotionally broken.

Ryan didn’t answer. He just handed the tablet back to Julian. “You’ve worked hard. Eat something and get some rest.”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

After calling Diego to explain Audrey's situation, Ryan carried his clothes into the guest have a shower.

When Audrey opened her swollen eyes, everything seemed blurry. She grasped her head, feeling like it was about to explode. Everything felt like a dream. A dream where ... Aunt Anne was gone.

When she realized she was in the master bedroom of Ryan’s villa in Sheysea City, she finally remembered. Aunt Anne really was gone.

She blinked softly, and tears streamed from her swollen eyes. She quickly wiped them away with her hand and got up. She checked under the bed for her shoes.

Ryan was right. Harper was too young. If she couldn’t be strong during this difficult time, Harper would be terrified. She was Harper’s older sister. She had to take care of Anne’s funeral arrangements and plan for Harper’s future.

After searching for a long time, she couldn't find her shoes. “You're awake.”

Ryan had dozed off on the sofa, but woke up to the sounds of Audrey moving around the room. He walked to the bedroom door and handed Audrey the slippers Jess had brought up before bed.

Audrey clutched the bedsheet tightly with both hands. She had mixed feelings about the situation.

She had told Ryan that she didn’t want them to have any further contact in the future. As Ryan was an adopted son of the Lambert family, she was afraid people would notice and learn about her birth mother’s past.

Gossip had the power to drive a person insane. She didn’t want her birth mother to go through that again.

But if Ryan hadn’t shown up at her most helpless and distraught moment, she might have considered. a tragic end with Nathan when she learned that he had pushed Anne.

“I'm sorry.” Audrey sobbed as she apologized to Ryan. She closed her eyes. Her tears fell like broken

strings. “I’m causing you trouble again.”

“Audrey, you're a relative from my original family. It’s only natural for me to step in, and it won’t affect the Lambert family.” 2/2

Ryan crouched down and helped Audrey put on her shoes. He then looked up at her. “You don’t need

to avoid me.”

But they had slept together... It was her fault. She had persuaded him to sleep with her when she was drugged.

Audrey tightened her grip on the bedsheet. She didn’t have the energy to think about all that now. When she opened her eyes again, she took a deep breath. She wiped away her tears, and seemed to have regained her composure.

“| got it. If | encounter something beyond my ability, I'll ask for your help.”

Ryan pressed his lips together. He stood up and glanced at his watch. “Anne’s body is already on its way to Eastville. Eat something. You can nap on the plane later.”

Audrey nodded. She pulled herself together and saw a message from Harper on her phone from the night before. Harper was worried that Anne hadn't replied to her messages or answered any of her calls.

After calming herself down, Audrey called Harper. The phone connected quickly.
