“After all these years, you still wish me evil, huh?” she said with a sigh of exasperation. “I didn't do anything bad to you, Ryan. | wonder why you hate me so much?” A complicated look appeared in Ryan's eyes when she said this.
He knew he was a despicable and shameless man. For a long time, he took advantage of her gratitude to his family and never really saw her as someone he loved. But when he discovered how much she had achieved now, he couldn't help but feel a huge sense of loss. In fact, he began to wonder if he had been better to her in the past, perhaps he would have been a lot happier now.
On the surface, he was a success story.
He had a decent job, but he got it by getting drunk and pleasing his clients over and over. Whenever he encountered difficult middle-aged female clients, he always needed to sacrifice his body. If he couldn't get an erection, he's have to take a pill to get himself going.

Nevertheless, he had made a lot of money at Fowler Group, so there was.
no reason for him to leave. With the money, he had purchased a big apartment that covered an area of about 180 square meters. He now had afirm foothold in Duefron. He even had a young girl that was with him.

Jenkins family an heir.

“I'm not qualified to take part in today’s activity in the first place, but I'm here,” he said with a bitter smile on his face. “Why do you think | was able to come, and who do you think arranged it?” “I don't care,” Melissa said with a careless shrug.
“The past is long gone. If you had not shown up all of a sudden, I'd probably have forgotten about you. You're here telling me all these things because you feel upset, but you were the one who chose this road for yourself, weren't you?" Ryan's face was as pale as a sheet when she said this.
This simple statement was a clear indication that she knew all about his undesirable situation.
Yet, when she saw him, she acted very calmly. She didn't look down on him nor pity him. She
actually and literally felt nothing. This was especially surprising because when she was a child, she saw him as the most amazing man ever.

But Marcus was standing right outside. When he saw her, he said in a light tone, “Minnie bit Jessie. Jessie has been clamoring for vaccination.
And she even threatened to put Minnie down.” Melissa was left speechless when she heard this.
But Marcus broke into a smile and went on, “I told you not to spoil Jessie too much, you know. Did you bring her home with the intention of making her your daughter?” “I'm not that old,” Melissa countered.
After saying that, she continued to stare at Marcus in silence.
She wasn't sure what she really wanted to see on his face. Maybe she wanted to see if he was angry, or maybe she wanted to know what was going on in his mind.
But Marcus didn't give her any chance. Instead, he took hold of her hand.
