Chapter 138: Chapter 138: I Said I Would Wait for You

If he didn’t have to keep his identity under wraps, he would have driven Evelyn Grant to the airport himself to show his sincerity.

’After all, this was a rare opportunity to curry favor with his superior!’

"Thank you, Mr. Shaw. I’ll be back as soon as I see him off."

"Okay!"

Once she had his permission, Evelyn Grant watched Mr. Shaw leave before quickly looking down to text Ryan Sterling.

She had to tell him the news!

I can come to the airport to see you off! Mr. Shaw approved my time off.

Okay, I’ll come to your firm and pick you up.

No, don’t! I’ll head straight to the airport. You’re busy, you don’t always have to go out of your way for me.

Evelyn Grant knew he was always like this.

It left her feeling like she didn’t even know how to face his affection. It was just so passionate, so impossible to resist.

...

At the airport, Ryan Sterling was worried he might miss Evelyn Grant coming to see him off, so he had arrived a full two hours early.

He still had plenty of work to do, so he simply brought it with him to finish at the airport.

His secretary was beside him, still reporting on work.

"I’ve made all the arrangements as you instructed. We can head over straight from the airport, or... would you prefer to rest for a bit first? There’s still time to get to work after."

"No. We need to make the most of our time. I have to finish this work as quickly as possible so I can get back home."

Ryan Sterling might be leaving for work, but he couldn’t relax knowing Julian Sterling was still in the country.

Who could guarantee he wouldn’t try something with Evelyn Grant?

Besides, his mother was clearly siding with his older brother now. She did whatever Julian said, completely ignoring how it would affect Evelyn Grant or how she might feel about it.

How could Ryan Sterling possibly relax?

He didn’t dare.

"Of course, Mr. Sterling. I understand."

After the work briefing ended, Ryan Sterling glanced at the time again and again, waiting for Evelyn Grant to call him.

After a moment’s thought, he called Mr. Shaw.

"Let Evelyn Grant leave early."

He wanted to see her as soon as possible.

"Understood. I’ll go right now!"

Sure enough, not long after he hung up, Evelyn Grant called.

"Ryan, I was able to leave early! Where are you?"

"I’m already at the airport."

"I’m on my way then. Wait for me at the airport."

"Okay."

As he put down his phone, the corners of Ryan Sterling’s lips curled into a smile that wouldn’t fade.

For Ryan Sterling, just being able to see Evelyn Grant was the most wonderful thing in the world.

That was why he had no desire to be busy with work; he just wanted to be with Evelyn Grant.

Soon, Evelyn Grant’s car arrived at the airport.

She hurried inside, and as soon as she entered, she saw Ryan Sterling’s tall figure standing there.

When he saw Evelyn Grant, he strode over to her.

He pulled her into his arms with a gentle expression. "Don’t run. What’s the rush? I’ve been waiting for you this whole time. Have you forgotten you’re pregnant?"

"I was just worried I’d make you late for security," Evelyn Grant said, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Don’t worry. I said I’d wait for you, and I meant it. I wouldn’t have left until you came."

"You can’t do that! I can’t hold up your work! Ryan, we agreed we wouldn’t interfere with each other’s jobs!"

Ryan Sterling stroked her hair with a fond, helpless look. "Alright. I promised, and I’ll keep my word. Don’t worry."

"And that doesn’t just apply to the moment you make the promise. You have to keep it in the future, too!"
