Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Let’s Go Together

"So we... move forward?"

Since Ryan Sterling wasn’t afraid, Evelyn Grant felt that if she backed away now, it just wouldn’t be right.

He had already taken ninety-nine steps toward her. With only this final step remaining, Evelyn Grant couldn’t possibly take another step back.

"Okay. We’ll do this together."

Putting down his phone, Ryan Sterling felt a sense of peace he had never experienced before.

’She’s finally mine.’

’I finally don’t have to live like a beggar, stealing glances at other people’s happiness, only to go off and lick my wounds alone.’

’He was terrified of those days. Terrified of living through even one more day, one more minute, one more second!’

...

When Evelyn Grant returned to the apartment, Ryan Sterling was working.

She went to her room alone to wash up and change. By the time she came out, Ryan Sterling had already left his study.

The moment he saw her, he walked straight over without a word and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Sensing that something was wrong with Ryan Sterling, Evelyn Grant tilted her head up slightly. "What’s the matter?"

"I was terrified that after my mom talked to you, you wouldn’t want anything to do with me anymore."

She furrowed her brow. "Ryan Sterling, I’m not that heartless. After you’ve come this far, I lost the right to give up a long time ago."

’If she left now, even she would despise herself.’

’He’s already done so much, so, so much...’

’So much that she couldn’t have imagined anyone in this world could ever love her this much.’

"You do! Evelyn Grant, when you’re with me, you have every right. I can be disappointed, I can even fall into despair, but no matter what you do, I will never blame you! You can always follow your heart. I’ll wait for you."

In a relationship, the one who falls in love first has to be prepared to humble themselves.

And for that, there is no cure.

Even though his pride warned him time and time again not to be this way, that there was no need to be so subservient, Ryan Sterling couldn’t resist the yearning in his heart.

His eyes couldn’t help but follow her figure.

The moment Evelyn Grant appeared, the second there was any news about her, all of Ryan Sterling’s composure would shatter.

He could only surrender without a fight.

"Don’t be like this, Ryan Sterling. You’re putting pressure on me."

Ryan Sterling’s arms tightened around her. "Okay, then I’ll rein it in. I just won’t let you know."

Evelyn Grant didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"I know everything you’re feeling."

"So... you won’t abandon me, right?"

"Are you really that scared?"

Ryan Sterling’s expression immediately turned serious. He pursed his lips. "You’ll probably never be able to understand what it’s like for me. In my entire life, I can’t name a single other thing I’ve been this afraid of!"

When he first went abroad, he was in a terrible state and could only bury himself in work to numb the pain. He spent all day and all night staring at documents and a computer, refusing to leave himself even a moment of free time.

Because the moment he had any downtime, he couldn’t fight the overwhelming urge to return home, to go back to Evelyn Grant’s side.

Even though she was already his older brother’s wife! Even though there was absolutely no chance for them back then.

"Then you don’t have to be afraid anymore. There is absolutely no chance I’ll ever have anything to do with your brother again."

Evelyn Grant was also very serious. "I admit, I used to love your brother dearly. My entire world revolved around him. But ever since he did what he did, my heart has been completely closed off to him. There is absolutely no possibility of us ever getting back together, no matter who tries to persuade me."
