Chapter 207
Dallas narrated clearly, “Wandflower was worried that we might get scared, so she took
us out for ice cream.
“Paige has worked here for so many years, but this is her first time seeing him this angry. Of course, aside from when Wandflower got into trouble.”
Dallas leaned closely to the phone. “He skipped dinner too, and only drank some porridge when Wandflower and I brought it to him.”
Audrey’s grip tightened around her phone. Uneasiness was shrouding around her like a
cloak.
She reminded the kids, “Better behave these days. Don’t anger Mr. Lambert Senior, okay?
“Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll be a good girl!” Lily promised.
“Alright, you guys should go to bed now. Good night!”
The video call ended, and Audrey looked at Ryan with pursed lips. He was still on the phone.
It took him a while before he noticed her gaze. He cast his gaze in her direction and wrapped up the call immediately.
“What’s the matter?” Ryan slid the door close.
“Did you tell Mr. Lambert Senior that you’re going to leave the family today?” Audrey
questioned.
He sat behind her. Propping his elbow on his knees, he leaned toward her. “I’d have to tell him sooner or later, but I haven’t told him about us. Don’t worry.”
“He’s… very livid.”
“Yeah. After his birthday party, I’ll announce my departure from the family and the company,” he responded.
She spun around and met his
eyes.
Her head was a mess and she felt uneasy. “Are you… going to Mythravia?”
He caressed her cheek gently. “I will be away for some time, to return to my actual home.
Chapter 207
There’s something I have to deal with.”
“What about Lambert Corporation?”

His smile reached his eyes. “I will make sure everything is well–prepared. Plus, I’ll make Evergreen Biotech a formidable existence to Meplaria. I have faith in you. You’ll be able to manage Lambert Corporation well.”
His finger traced its way to the corner of her lips as the silence sinked it. “As for our relationship, I need an answer before his birthday party.”
“Are you not going to come back if I choose to divorce?”
Her hunch kept telling her that this question was closely related to his future plans, which George was infuriated about.
Ryan’s deep eyes didn’t leave her for a second, and it was stirred with obsession.
His piercing gaze sent a chill down her spine.
A dangerous air seemed to be looming over him when he wasn’t wearing glasses. Like the top predator, he was ready to hunt her down at any moment.
His fingers dug into her hair and his other hand squeezed her arm. With one pull from him, the kneeling Audrey fell into his embrace.
She pressed Ryan’s legs for support as she looked at him. Her heart rate went wild.
“Do you wish for me to return? Or, like what Mr. Lambert Senior wants, to stay out of your lives for once and for all after leaving?” His voice was deep.
The expressionless man didn’t like succumbing to his lustful desires. But when it came to Audrey, the beast in him had its eyes only on her, so obsessive that its character was twisted to some point.
As though cast by magic, he had a strong sense of possession over her.
After the frenzy point.
He desperately wished to chain her by his side forever, devouring her all day and night.
However, he was aware that she didn’t like him back then. There was a long way for him
to go.
Furthermore, before they slept together, he had gotten in touch with his biological father’s former subordinate.
Ryan didn’t want to expose Audrey to danger.

After George sent Audrey away
ago, it took everything in Ryan to keep his rationality intact. He rebuilt a wall in his heart and restrained himself from looking for
her.
Last night, when she wrapped her arms around his neck and confessed that she wanted more of him, he almost lost his mind.
No matter how much she cried and begged, he didn’t let her go.
Like a greedy python from the profound depths of a forest, he devoured her and wanted more and more from her.
He couldn’t bring himself to let her go anymore.
Thus, he was offering this last chance to her.
Returning to the Kingston family meant being exposed to more danger, and Ryan knew
that.
If Audrey wanted a divorce, he would do anything in his power to rein in the beast in him.
There’d be necessary arrangements to ensure Audrey’s and the kids‘ future well–being before he cut ties with them.
Next, he would return to the world he belonged to, disappearing from their lives.
If Audrey was willing to stay with him, he wouldn’t give her the chance to leave his side ever again.
What if it meant dragging her into an abyss? He wouldn’t let her go either.
