Chapter 132: Not Even Worth Mentioning

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Not Even Worth Mentioning

She couldn’t keep being a burden to Ryan Sterling.

He had given up too much for her. How could things last like this?

Besides, if their positions were reversed...

Evelyn Grant realized that she had so little to offer Ryan Sterling in return.

It was hardly even worth mentioning.

"Mmm, you’re right."

"So, Ryan, go focus on your work. I’ll message you or video call you whenever I have a spare moment!"

Ryan Sterling took a slow breath. "Okay."

"But since you said you’ve finished all your work for today, let’s take one last day off and go out to eat!" Evelyn Grant said, taking Ryan Sterling’s hand. "Let’s go."

They had reached a consensus on the topic, which was the best possible outcome.

Evelyn Grant felt that this strange, complicated relationship between her and Ryan Sterling had to be sorted out before they could move forward with any clarity.

Before, she had been wondering whether or not to be with Ryan Sterling.

Now, she was thinking about how to build a lasting future with him, and how she could overcome the emotional shadow Julian Sterling had cast over her and learn to trust Ryan Sterling one more time.

...

Ryan Sterling drove Evelyn Grant out. After circling a few bustling streets, they finally decided on Thai food.

As the two of them walked into the restaurant, Evelyn Grant suddenly realized...

’This seems to be the first time she and Ryan Sterling have gone out to eat as a couple, out in the public eye.’

’Before this, they had only ever spent time together at Ryan Sterling’s place.’

She looked up at Ryan Sterling. He was earnestly asking the server what foods were unsuitable for pregnant women.

Watching his handsome profile as he focused completely on the baby in her belly, Evelyn Grant felt deeply moved.

After all, that was the role she had always played for Julian Sterling.

She herself had never been the one who was valued, let alone cherished!

"What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

When he saw Evelyn Grant staring at him without a word, Ryan Sterling immediately asked.

Evelyn Grant waved her hand. "No, I just wanted to look at you."

Ryan Sterling raised an eyebrow. "What, just now noticing I’m handsome?"

She let out a helpless laugh.

’How could that be possible?’

’Ever since their school days, Evelyn Grant had known exactly how captivating Ryan Sterling’s face was.’

’Was there anyone in the entire school—from the students to the teachers and the principal—who didn’t know of him?’

’Whenever anyone mentioned the most handsome boy, Ryan Sterling was always the first name that came to mind.’

’Even Julian Sterling, who had also been dubbed a campus heartthrob back in their school days, wasn’t as eye-catching as Ryan.’

"You like this place?"

Ryan Sterling asked as he pulled out a chair for Evelyn Grant.

He only sat down opposite her after she was seated.

"Mhm, I’ve been here a few times before."

"Then I’ll set up an account here for you. Whenever you’re craving it, you can just come over."

Evelyn Grant immediately waved her hands. "There’s no need! I can afford a meal. You don’t have to do that."

"We’re husband and wife. There’s no difference between my money and your money. I was just thinking that if I leave a large deposit, the staff here will take extra good care of you when they see you."

’After all, you’d be a "VIP customer"!’

Ryan Sterling liked the idea that while he was busy with work, there would be people everywhere who could help him take care of Evelyn Grant.

"I really don’t need it. I’m just pregnant, it’s not like I can’t take care of myself! Just go focus on your work and don’t worry about me."

"If you refuse this and you reject that, how am I supposed to have any peace of mind?"
