Chapter 12
Ryan was actually quite soft–hearted.
Even if he believed my explanation, he would probably still be angry because of the initial concealment.
Why not…pretend to be pitiful in front of him?
In full view of everyone, I filled up a cup for myself directly. Everyone looked at me, and Ryan glanced at me for the first time tonight.
My method worked!
I poured a glass on the spot, then sneakily glanced over and saw Ryan frowning.
The aftertaste of alcohol made my head feel a little dizzy. I paused for a moment. Then poured me another glass.
The colleague next to me couldn’t help but speak up.
“Odette, the meal hasn’t started yet, it’s not good to drink like this…”
I ignored him. After catching my breath, I drank the cup that had just been knocked over.
I am not usually a drinker, but after downing two strong drinks, the feeling this time was even more intense than before.
When I opened my eyes again, everything was blurry.
I looked at Ryan, and he looked back at me. I could feel that the

expression on his face was very complicated. But I couldn’t see clearly, my mind was a bit confused.
Feeling his gaze about to leave me, I blurted out. “Honey…”
The private room fell silent in an instant.
There was a colleague who always seemed to be asking for trouble, and he spoke first.
“Odette is really obsessed with chasing after Mr. Lawson.”
There were only scattered laughter around.
Timothy looked at me with a serious expression. “If you can’t control your mouth, why are you drinking?”
I was stunned for a moment before realizing that I had just misspoken.
But before I could explain. Ryan, who had been silent the whole way, let out a cold laugh.
“She was calling me.”
“Why are you so excited?”
This time, the room was truly silent, even more so than just a moment ago, you could hear a pin drop.
The expression on Timothy’s face seemed to crack little by little.
Ryan took me away.
Before leaving, he held my hand and stared at Timothy. “I have already married her.”

“Can some people stop being so self–righteous?”
No names were mentioned, but it was highly targeted.
It was said that later, Timothy’s face would turn purple and he would get very angry. But I didn’t care.
Because there was someone else at home who needed to be comforted.
In the bedroom, I straddled Ryan and told him everything in detail.
“At first, I didn’t mention Timothy, I was just afraid that you would think too much, honey…”
“In my heart, he was just a stranger, but I was afraid you would mind…….”
Ryan hummed.
“You kept it from me, that’s why I minded.”
I traced circles on his chest muscles with my fingers.
“Sorry, it was my oversight, honey…”
“And didn’t we also use this incident to publicly announce our marriage? Consider it as offsetting, okay?”
Ryan put his arm around my waist.
“Kiss me.”
I obediently leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. He seemed pleased.
Seeing that he didn’t seem angry anymore, I took the opportunity to ask.

“Since it was your social engagement, didn’t you already know?”
He closed his eyes, his big palm rubbing my back. “Yes.”
“Why did you accept Timothy’s company’s invitation? You never accepted it when I was around…”

Ryan answered confidently. “He harassed you, I just wanted to give him a hard time.”
“Let him think he could secure the contract, only to find out it was all in vain. Isn’t it more fun than just rejecting him outright?”
I poked his chest muscles.
“How come I didn’t notice before, you’re so bad?”
Ryan squinted his eyes. “Even worse, do you want to see it?”
I, who had not reacted yet, was already pinned down by him. The lips were also sealed.
“Um…”
“Ryan…”
“Wow, that sounds really nice, honey.”
“Wait a minute!”
“I couldn’t wait.”
