Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin ) -
Chapter 254
Chapter 254
Ryan threw the paper towel into the trash and headed for the villa.
Daniel gritted his teeth and followed him out. He called out to Ryan, who was about to get into his car, “Ryan!”
Ryan leaned against the car, looking at Daniel questioningly.
Daniel walked to the passenger side and said, “I don’t know who the woman you’ve asked Peter to protect is, but I hope you understand you can’t afford to have vulnerabilities. Having vulnerabilities will make you like Jim–easily manipulated.”
Ryan glanced meaningfully at Daniel, then drove away.
Daniel stood with his hands in his pockets. He frowned, watching the taillights of Ryan’s car.
Peter’s mouth was just too tight, refusing to tell him who Ryan had him protect. Otherwise, he would have preemptively dealt with this potential vulnerability for Ryan.
Ryan drove to the building where Audrey lived, but he didn’t go up.
He leaned against the hood of the car, looking up to see the lights on in Audrey’s living
room.
He could imagine Audrey sitting on the plush white carpet in the living room, studying her
documents.
Ryan understood everything Daniel had said earlier. But what Daniel didn’t understand was that Audrey was Ryan’s safe harbor.
He watched Audrey break free from her cocoon and rescue herself. Witnessing her shining on her stage made him feel like he had also found redemption.
Initially, he could have just continued watching from afar, but she was the one who first provoked him four years ago.
He never considered himself a good person, nor did he think that cutting ties with Audrey in the face of danger was truly loving her.
He just wanted Audrey. He wanted to possess her.
Although he allowed Audrey to choose, he was unwilling to suppress his increasingly intense possessiveness toward her.
He even resorted to despicable means to hide his other side, only allowing Audrey to see the

Ryan he wanted her to see.
He schemed and used seduction as a means to make Audrey choose him.
Even if she didn’t like him as a person, as long as he tempted her with the pleasures of love, he could at least make her feel something for him.
When Audrey grabbed his pants in the car and said, “Bandage the wound well and go home“, Ryan knew Audrey might already be caught in his trap.
George’s birthday banquet was in two days, so he would have an answer from Audrey
tomorrow.
If she chose him, even if the road ahead was a path of quicksand, he’d do everything to protect her as long as she was with him.
If she refused to choose him for the sake of George and Wanda…
Ryan’s facial features were outlined by the warm light of the street lamp, showing little expression.
He pulled out a cigarette, put it between his lips, and lit it.
His eyes were cold.
Tomorrow would be George’s birthday banquet, and Edward brought Audrey to try on the modified dress. They went to finalize her outfit early in the morning.
Audrey’s long hair fell over her shoulders. She was wearing a black strapless fishtail gown paired with a multi–million–dollar emerald necklace and matching earrings.
She stood in thin high heels before the mirror, looking at herself.
Audrey’s scars from four years ago had faded significantly, almost to the point of being invisible unless examined closely.
