His face darkened, and he said coldly, "Lyra, come here!"Lyra shook her head, determinedly saying, "I'm going to the United States.""You want to elope with Torin?" Ronan gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead. Ronan's eyes were filled with a crazed intensity as he grabbed her wrist, questioning her through clenched teeth."You're carrying my child, and you still want to elope with Torin?"Lyra looked at him calmly, her eyes like those of a stranger, and she stubbornly said, "My grandmother is missing in the United States, and I must go find her."Ronan's eyes flickered.He knew how important her grandmother was to her. She had been insisting on going to the U.S. to find her grandmother.He promised her that after she gave birth, he would take her there.But now, her grandmother had gone missing?"No, you can't go," Ronan's tone was authoritative and unquestionable, and his fingers holding her wrist started to tighten slightly.Lyra endured the pain, preventing herself from
Suddenly, a large hand reached over and pulled down the airplane window shade.Lyra was stunned, turning her head to see Ronan looking at her.Then, he slowly spoke, "Lyra, I'll accompany you to find your grandmother.""I'll accompany you to find your grandmother."This sentence made Lyra freeze in place.She suddenly felt her nose tingling, and the already uncomfortable mood became even more depressing.Her grandmother was missing, and she was anxious beyond words.She was just a young girl in her early twenties, inexperienced in the ways of the world, had never been to distant America, and had no idea what to do.In times of helplessness, she hoped she could rely on her husband.To have someone standing by her side, accompanying her through the storm.Without saying a word, Ronan had already tightly grabbed her hand, and his eyes looked ahead with indifference.Lyra, looking at their tightly interlocked fingers, suddenly didn't know what to do.After a good while, she finally heard
As if he could hold up the sky, Lyra's heart gradually calmed down.Ronan looked at the director and spoke fluently in English, "Before my grandmother went missing, was there anything unusual that happened?"The director rambled on, and Ronan translated each sentence for Lyra.It turned out that the day before her grandmother went missing, a young man had come to the nursing home looking for her.The next day, her grandmother mysteriously disappeared."Who is that person?" Lyra asked anxiously.Lyra had grown up with her grandmother, and she knew better than anyone that her grandmother had no other relatives besides her.Why would someone come here to see her grandmother?Her grandmother's senile dementia was already severe, forgetting many things, and becoming less lucid with each passing day.Even if that person really knew her grandmother, what did he want from her?The director shook his head, saying a few words.Lyra understood that he didn't know who that person was; the name o
Don't think he doesn't know. That damn fox spirit, Torin, always looks at Lyra with that sly expression, as if trying to undress her with his eyes.If he hadn't been keeping a close eye, the fox spirit might have confused Lyra, leading her to book a room together.Maybe he would've become the third wheel, and a shiny green hat would be placed on his head.So he had to keep an eye on them, absolutely not giving the fox spirit any chance!Lyra disdainfully snorted, "Ronan, don't assume everyone is like you.""Do you dare to say he's not like me?" Ronan instantly got irritated."He's not like me!""He's just like me, always wanting to have you!" Ronan asserted confidently."..."How could Lyra forget? How could she compare Ronan's shamelessness?Her cheeks blushed instantly, and she covered her face with a towel, "Snap," closing the bathroom door.Ronan crossed his arms, standing outside the bathroom, confidently and loudly saying:"All men are the same. I know exactly what he's thinking
"Cut it out." The two tall men exchanged a glance. Ronan quickly said, "Lyra, don't be afraid. Maybe it's not her at all?"Torin, with deep eyes, looked at Lyra and said, "I've seen your grandmother; I can recognize her. Don't go in, wait for me here."Lyra desperately shook her head; she knew they were trying to comfort her."I must see it with my own eyes to feel at ease," she said.With the support of the two men, Lyra walked into the police station, staggering with each step.Her breath became increasingly rapid, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.Torin walked over and spoke to an African-American police officer.The officer led them to identify the body.Finally, they reached an empty room, the temperature dropping several degrees, sending shivers down their spines.Lyra, not knowing where she got the strength, suddenly pushed away the two men beside her and rushed forward.On a table, a body wrapped in a body bag. The African-American police officer
The two men exchanged a glance, each feeling a sense of victory in their minds.Over the next two weeks, Ronan made phone calls every day, seeking help from all directions."Is this Peter? Hey, long time no see! It's like this, my wife's grandmother...""Jackson, how are your connections in Minnesota? I need to ask you for a favor...""I'm Ronan, yes, there's something I'd like your help with..."Ronan had changed. Those phone calls were something he had never done before, and he ended up owing many favors.But now he didn't care at all.His attitude in speaking was also something Lyra had never seen before.He, who had always been a dominant figure in T City, now spoke with an obvious awkwardness and stiffness, appearing very unfamiliar.He had always held himself high and never lowered his posture to ask for help from others.But now, for Lyra, he shamelessly went around asking people for help.Even with some people he barely knew, he called and exchanged pleasantries.If those peop
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. Ronan!" Ronan and Lyra simultaneously stopped in their tracks and looked toward the source of the voice. A stylishly dressed woman hurriedly ran out from a jewelry store."So coincidental! Mr. Ronan, you're here too?" The woman stopped in front of Ronan.Ronan looked at the woman somewhat absentmindedly, taking several seconds to recall that she was a young model he had played with before.What was her name again?Ronan couldn't remember.He subconsciously nodded, "Uh, just wandering around."Torin lightly curled his lips and asked, "Mr. Ronan, is this your friend?"Ronan furrowed his brows, wondering what this damn fox was scheming. He hadn't engaged in such activities outside for eight hundred years!Unfortunately, due to too many past indiscretions, the dead fox had caught some evidence.As expected, Torin lightly chuckled, insinuating, "Mr. Ronan has good social skills; you can encounter your friends even in the United States, huh!"Ronan directly i
After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Ronan took advantage of Torin going to the restroom and immediately jumped over to occupy Torin's seat, sitting confidently next to Lyra.Lyra, half-asleep, opened her eyes and glanced at him."Be good, keep sleeping," Ronan petted her head affectionately, making her lean against his shoulder.Without fully realizing it was Ronan, Lyra closed her eyes again, continuing to sleep peacefully.When Torin returned, he saw Ronan taking his seat and stood in front of him with narrowed eyes."Mr. Ronan, it seems like your seat isn't here."Ronan smirked, indifferent, "If I get up now, Lyra will wake up."Torin, seeing Lyra sleeping soundly, hesitated. She had been through a lot in the past month.He couldn't bear to disturb her, so reluctantly took a seat nearby.Ronan felt so triumphant inside!Damn fox, try to compete with me!Little did he know, his moment of tr
