Remarriage Failed Again Today

Chapter 366: Chapter 364: How Did We End Up Like This? 6

’I really don’t know what the right thing to do is.’

Ashley Grant felt miserable.

Seeing her cry made Ryan Linton’s heart clench. He leaned over, gently pulled her into a hug, and brushed the hair from her face. He sighed and said helplessly, "If I don’t look after you, who will? What’s gotten into you? You’re an adult, you can’t just disappear like that. Do you have any idea how worried I was?"

Ashley Grant lowered her gaze, tears streaming down her face.

Ryan Linton held her and kissed her. When Ashley Grant tried to push him away, he simply held her hands down and kissed her anyway.

Ashley Grant pounded on his chest, the very picture of a pouting girlfriend. The sight made Ryan Linton’s heart melt completely.

The corners of his lips curved up as he kissed her. He awkwardly wiped away her tears. Though his voice remained cool, his tone had softened considerably. "What’s wrong? Did someone bully you? Why did you suddenly disappear and then try to break up with me, huh?"

He had truly panicked the moment she said she wanted to break up.

When he’d agreed to this relationship, breaking up was never something he’d considered.

After all, how sensible could a spoiled young lady who was only seventeen really be?

Even if she was usually a delinquent, in front of her boyfriend, even the toughest girl is still just a girl.

Ashley Grant looked at him, her eyes brimming with tears, and said miserably, "Ryan Linton, I can’t see a future for us. I don’t think we can keep going."

"Nonsense." He toyed with a strand of her hair. "Why would you think that?"

’Because my brother is Leona Grant, and your sister is Annabelle Linton.’

She remained silent.

Ryan Linton looked at her, then pulled a set of keys from the dashboard. "Here, take these."

Ashley Grant took the keys, confused. "What are these?"

Ryan Linton pressed his lips together, a glimmer flashing in his eyes. "The keys to our home."

Ashley Grant laughed through her tears. "Our home?"

"Mhm." Ryan Linton hummed faintly, his gaze drifting to the neon-lit world outside the window, lost in thought. He then turned back to her and said in a deep voice, "The keys to our home. Ashley Grant, I will give you a future." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Yes, a future someday.

Ashley Grant looked at his handsome face, wrapped her arms around his neck, and asked innocently, "Ryan, will you marry me someday?"

He wanted to marry her, but it wasn’t that simple.

Ryan Linton was never one to make promises lightly.

This time, it was his turn to be silent. He looked at her, then pulled her into another hug, his heart aching. "Let’s talk about the future when the time comes."

Ashley Grant clutched the keys happily and answered with a cheerful, "Okay."

...

Outside the car, Kate Shelby watched them in shock.

’Mr. Linton has been in there holding Ashley Grant for half an hour!’

’She didn’t have to imagine what they were up to.’

She pulled up the photo she had just taken of Ryan Linton holding Ashley Grant and sent it to Kiera Keane.

’Mr. Linton belongs to Cousin Keane. Who the hell does this Ashley Grant think she is?’

Kiera Keane was staring absently at the flowers outside her window when her phone buzzed with a message.

She opened it. When she saw the photo, her pupils constricted slightly, and for a moment, she felt numb.

She had known about their relationship, but seeing the photo was still a jarring sight.

She stared at the photo expressionlessly for a long time before calmly locking her phone and setting it aside, as if she hadn’t seen a thing.

Her expression didn’t change in the slightest.

Finally, she looked down expressionlessly at her paralyzed legs. Then, with all her might, she moved one of them.

It didn’t fail her. It moved.

What did it mean for the leg of someone who had been paralyzed for six years to move?

"How can someone so beautiful exist in this world?" A faint smile touched Kiera Keane’s lips as she murmured softly, "Ashley Grant, I’m jealous of you..."
