"Ryan, aren't you afraid of irritating Mom? She won't let you go that easily," Luke asked on their way
back.
He couldn't help shivering when he thought of Josie's temper.
"Ryan, Mom is not a forgiving person.Since you've annoyed her this time, her next move will definitely
be big."
Ryan pressed his thin lips tightly.He came back today to show his attitude.
In the Oliver family's old villa.
"Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo!" Brittany cried her heart out.
"Brittany, don't cry now, okay?" Josie comforted her.
Brittany rubbed her eyes.
"Auntie Josie, I really don't know what I did wrong.Ryan suddenly got upset and left."
This time, Josie's head started to ache.
But she didn't stop coaxing Brittany.
After a long time of persuasion, Brittany finally calmed down.
Although Ryan and the others had left, Josie needed to stay to have lunch.
It was her who invited Brittany for lunch, after all.
When they finished eating, Brittany was about to go home.
She prepared a gift for Brittany and asked the driver to send her back.
As soon as Brittany left, it was only then that Josie breathed a sigh of relief.
Anson came over with a glass of water and handed it to her.
When she saw him, her eyes turned red with grievance.
"Honey...What have I done wrong? I've given birth to two sons, but I worry about them all day
long.Ryan is so cold to me, while Luke is always unruly."
"Well, I've already told you that they are both adults now.They have their own lives.Ryan is an
independent man.He can find a woman on his own, but you insist on introducing women to him.How
can he not be angry?"
"Are you blaming me?"
"No.Of course, not!"
Anson smiled and said, "You are the most brilliant and powerful woman in the world, but you'd better
stay out of Ryan's affairs."
"No way!"
Josie straightened up and said with a high fighting spirit, "I still don't believe it.If Ryan doesn't like
Brittany, then I'll find all the daughters of the rich and famous families in the entire city some other day.I
believe that he can find someone he likes from them."
Anson was rendered speechless.
Inside No. 2 Villa of Ensfield.
Wendy's arm was injured, so Reese took charge of cooking.
At this moment, Wendy was lying on the sofa.
"Reese, I am so happy that you are here." Reese laughed.
"Hey, why are you acting like a child all of a sudden?" Raymond was dissatisfied.
He raised his little hand to protest.
"Auntie, I'm not like her.I'm a good boy."
"Yes! You are much more obedient than your mommy.Your mommy was very naughty when she was a
child.She stole bird eggs from its nest on the tree and caught fish in the river.She was not as obedient
and sensible as you."
Being praised, Raymond was very happy.
He went to play his Rubik's Cube with satisfaction.
As Reese was cooking in the kitchen and Wendy was chatting with her, time passed quickly.
Soon enough, lunch was ready.
They were about to start eating when they heard the sound of the car engine in the yard.
Wendy immediately ran over to have a look.When she saw that Ryan and the others had returned, she
was surprised.
"What? Why are you back? Have you had lunch?"
"Yes,"
On their way back, they happened to pass by a fast food restaurant.Precious wanted to eat there, so
they stopped to have a meal.
As soon as Precious got out of the car, she ran towards the living room.
"Ray? Ray? I have ice cream for you.It's about to melt.Come and eat it."
"It has melted, silly girl," Raymond said.
Looking at the melted ice cream in her hand, Precious felt depressed.
"What a pity.You can't eat it anymore."
"Who says I can't eat it?" Raymond took the ice cream from her hand, scooped it up with a spoon, and
put it into his mouth.
"Hmm...Yummy!"
The two little kids laughed together.
Luke was deeply moved by the warm scene in front of him.
‘’This is what a normal family should look like.’’After lunch, Luke went back to take a noon break.
Ryan had a video conference in the afternoon, so he went back to No.1 Villa for the time being.
Precious was unwilling to leave, so she stayed in No.2 Villa.
After playing for a while, the two little kids felt sleepy.
Wendy sat, leaning against the sofa.
The two little kids lay on the sofa, pillowing on her legs respectively.
She stroked Precious’ head and said, "If you are sleepy, go sleep in the room."
"No."
Precious was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
But she hugged Wendy's thigh, unwilling to leave.
She yawned and said in a daze, "I'm afraid that you and Ray will disappear when I wake up."
Her words sent warmth to Wendy's heart.
She continued stroking Precious’ head gently and said, "No, we will never disappear."
With a sad face, Precious raised her head and said, "Auntie Wendy, I like you and Ray so much."
"I like you too.Ray and I both like you."
"Then, Auntie, can you and Ray stay with me forever?" Wendy was silent.
She and Ryan only had a half a year agreement.
After that, they would go separate ways.
At that time, she 7A ba im be, definitely had to leave Precious too.
The thought that she would never see the little girl again made her heart sad.
"Precious..."
"I know.You won't promise me."
As she spoke, Precious rubbed her face on Wendy's thigh.
Then she added in a sleepy voice, "When we went home today, Grandma asked Daddy to have a blind
date again.But...that woman was bad. She wasn't good to me when I met her last time.Alas, Daddy and
I were really unlucky."
After complaining in a daze, she fell asleep.
Wendy was stunned.
‘‘Really? Ryan went home for a blind date today? It's a good thing.If that blind date succeeds, then we
may cancel the agreement.Then I will be free and be able to focus on my career.Moreover, Precious
will have a mother.And someone can take care of Ryan.What a good thing!’’ she thought.
But deep in her heart, there was sadness.
In the evening, Luke and Ryan came back to Villa No. for dinner.
Jeffrey came, too.
After dinner, Wendy didn't stop persuading Jeffrey to take all the gold away until he finally gave in.
It was only then that she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, she went to bed.
However, before she could have a rest, her phone rang crazily.
When she checked it, there were messages from Luke, asking for help.
"Oh my God! Wendy, are you there?"
"Come help me! Ryan can't sleep.He's with me, practicing martial arts again.I'm afraid that I won't be
able to see the sun tomorrow if I keep practicing with him."
"Wendy, I swear.If you don't come to save me, you will hear my screams in your dreams every single
night."
"Help!"
After reading the last message, nothing came in again.
‘‘No way! Is it true?’’ Thinking about how Luke treated her nicely all the time, she jumped out of bed.
She pulled the curtains open and looked at the bedroom on the second floor of the opposite villa.It was
completely dark, so she felt anxious.
"What the hell!"
Wendy went downstairs quietly.
The living room downstairs was dark.
She carefully walked to the door on tiptoe, opened it, and went straight to No.1 Villa.
The gate of the villa was open.
Before she could enter, she heard a scream from Luke's room upstairs, so she rushed over.
