Chapter 234
The Ryan before her, unlike the one seen on television, sophisticated and composed, was also different from the one who openly declared his desires for her in private
“Nathan! Nathan, don’t scare me! Wake up!” Joseph held Nathan, who had collapsed to the ground.
Joseph’s cries brought Audrey’s attention back. She looked down at Nathan, who was lying on the ground after taking the blow meant for her, and quickly dialed 911 on her phone. Audrey had just finished reporting the address on the phone when her arm was grabbed by Ryan, who had a grim look on his face. He pulled her out of Room 8923 and toward the exit of the Night Palace.
Ryan, tall and with long strides, walked extremely fast, while Audrey had to jog to keep up
with him.
“Ryan, slow down!”
Audrey’s voice was drowned out by the intense music, just like the screams from Room 8923 had been earlier.
“Ryan!”
Ryan dragged Audrey out of the Night Palace through a side door and straight to the parking lot. He walked to the car, opened the passenger door, and tried to push Audrey inside.
“Ryan.” Audrey braced herself against the car. She was unwilling to get in.
Ryan looked at Audrey and chuckled before releasing his grip on her arm. “Are you planning to leave with Nathan?”
He slammed the passenger door shut with his bloody hand. “Fine, go ahead.”
His handsome features showed no hint of anger, and he even wore a faint smile. However, Audrey could sense that Ryan was fumed with rage.
“No, I’m not going with him. He has nothing to do with me! Your hand is injured. Give me the car keys. I’ll drive you to the hospital.” Audrey stared at Ryan’s still bleeding fingertips. She breathed heavily as she reached out to him.
Ryan saw the deep concern in her eyes and he gulped. He held a stern look while suddenly started to breathe heavily and rapidly.
Audrey felt a strange tingling sensation at the soles of her feet for being stared by Ryan.
Chapter 234
She shook her outstretched hand to Ryan. “Give it to me!!
He tugged at his tle, muttered a curse under his breath, then grabbed Audrey’s hand with one hand and the back of her head with the other. He pressed her against the car and kissed her. He forcibly pried open her lips, entwining his tongue with hers and kissed her savagely.
No matter what situation he faced, Ryan always handled it calmly. His loss of control was all because of Audrey.
“Mr… Mm….
Audrey’s words were swallowed by Ryan’s kiss. The more she resisted and tried to pull away, the more frantic Ryan’s kiss became.
He seemed like a madman on the verge of losing control, which made it hard for Audrey to resist. She wanted to push him away, but one of her hands was pinned by Ryan to the car roof, and the other was firmly held between them, struggling in vain.
Audrey’s brain began to feel dizzy from lack of oxygen, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She recalled what Ryan told her earlier, telling her to leave with Nathan.
She recalled about her and Nathan being in the same room, fighting with others, and being caught by Ryan!
She recalled Ryan’s loss of control.
Audrey’s heart beat faster and faster. She understood why Ryan was angry.
Ryan had always been bluntly telling her that he liked her!
