Chapter 6

I didn't want to respond to her words and continued walking with my suitcase.

Jack suddenly ran in front of me to block my way, coldly rebuking me:

"Evelyn, stop making a scene. You're not a three-year-old child, don't keep running away from home. Put your suitcase back now, and I'll forgive your childish behavior this time."

I didn't even look at Jack, continuing to pull my suitcase out the door.

Jack stood at the doorway and sneered, "Where else can you go besides your parents' house? If you go back to your parents, aren't you afraid of worrying them?"

Hearing the implication in Jack's words, I knew he was afraid I would go back to my parents and tell them everything.

But Jack knew me well enough to know that I would worry my family if I went back, so I never intended to return to my parents' house.

I drove to the riverside where I had been drinking last time.

I tossed my suitcase aside and started drinking.

To hell with Jack and everything else.

Coincidentally, I met Ryan again.

He seemed to know where I was, always able to find me.

Seeing me drinking to drown my sorrows, Ryan suddenly asked, "If I wanted to steal Jack's wife, would you let me?"

I was stunned for a moment.

He was speaking English, but why did it sound so confusing when put together?

But I was drunk and didn't care about all that, so I said very frankly, "I'm willing. But are you willing to marry into my family?"

Ryan nodded, "Sure, as long as I can steal Jack's wife, I'll give you all my money."

Although his words sounded nice, with Jack's precedent, I was still a bit cautious.

"No, I don't want your money. I want you to marry into my family, with a written contract and everything."

Ryan quickly had his secretary print out two copies of a marriage contract and send them over.

I signed the contract in a trance, then sat on Ryan's lap, pinching his chin and drunkenly laughing, "You better not lie to me. If you do, I'll make you a eunuch, and Jack too."

Ryan nodded and pointed at my phone, smiling, "Now that we're engaged, shouldn't you divorce Jack?"

Having solved a big problem, I nodded seriously and dialed Jack's number.

Jack's roar came from the other end, "Evelyn, where the hell have you been?"

I wrapped my arms around Ryan's neck and nuzzled his face.

"I'm cuddling with Ryan. Young people have such nice skin, not like you with your crow's feet."

I heard Jack grinding his teeth, "Evelyn, where are you? I'm coming to get you."
