Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Not Much Experience with This

’Even if my mother finds out later and tries to force me back together with Julian Sterling, that’s never going to happen.’

Ryan Sterling was so insecure; she had to give him some assurance to set his mind at ease.

That way, he wouldn’t get scared at the slightest sign of trouble in the future.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ryan Sterling turned Evelyn Grant to face him, their eyes meeting.

He gently raised his hand and touched her cheek, needing to confirm that the person before him was real, that the words they were speaking and everything happening were all real.

The warmth of her skin almost made Ryan Sterling’s eyes redden in an instant.

"Is the wait really over? I finally have you."

Evelyn Grant looked him straight in the eye and said gently, "I know I shouldn’t spoil the mood right now, but you really need to think carefully about what we’re about to face."

"I’ve already thought it all through. I’m not afraid at all."

"What about your mother? She must be furious..."

From the tone Florence Morgan had used on the phone earlier, Evelyn Grant could guess she had just finished chewing out Ryan Sterling.

The two of them must have had a huge fight.

"She’ll only be angry for a little while. Sooner or later, she’ll understand me! Besides, it doesn’t matter what they say now. As long as I have you with me, no one can tear us apart."

Ryan Sterling knew full well that his parents would have a hard time accepting this right now.

Anyone in their position would find it impossible to understand right away. But sooner or later, they would have to.

If it took one year, or two, or even ten, he’d wait. Even if he never gained anyone’s understanding for the rest of his life, Ryan Sterling didn’t care.

"Also, about my mom... you might have to be patient and put up with some unpleasantness."

Evelyn Grant couldn’t just take Ryan Sterling home right now and explain who he was.

"It’s okay. I won’t feel wronged."

"But don’t worry! I won’t let Julian Sterling go to my mom’s place anymore! My brother knows about our divorce now. If Julian tries to pull the same trick again, he won’t get past my brother."

Ryan Sterling gently caressed her face with the pad of his thumb, then, unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed her—

This time, Evelyn Grant didn’t pull away.

She simply tilted her head up, accepting his kiss.

At first, Ryan’s kiss was tentative, a mere brush against her lips, the line of her teeth.

When he felt that Evelyn Grant wasn’t pushing him away, that she was even reciprocating, he dared to kiss her more deeply, beginning to explore her taste...

Evelyn Grant felt her breath being stolen away. A wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her to grab his clothes to keep her balance.

Soon, a simple taste was no longer enough to satisfy Ryan Sterling.

He felt his entire body heat up, as if every drop of his blood was screaming for more. More!

But Ryan Sterling never forgot that Evelyn Grant was pregnant.

He couldn’t do anything that might harm the baby.

’Besides, if I make a move on her now, won’t she think that’s all I’m after?’

The kiss ended.

Evelyn Grant’s cheeks were flushed crimson.

Even though she was pregnant, when it came to intimacy, she was just as inexperienced as Ryan Sterling.

In all her years of marriage to Julian Sterling, they had never once been intimate, not even a kiss. So, naturally, she was shy.
