Audrey couldn’t resist Ryan at all. Her legs went limp, and she slightly trembled as she held onto his
shirt.
“I can’t think about this now. Please. Don’t do this to me. Aunt Anne is gone, and so is Harper! I have no mood to think about the future.”
She couldn’t help but burst into tears as she spoke, somewhat incoherently, “I promised Mr. Lambert Senior that I would never get involved with the Lambert family again!”
He wiped away her tears. “I know you’re hurting! Aunt Anne and Harper are gone. But have you ever thought that your child is also your family? He’s our family!”
She became emotional again. “But we can’t be together!“.
She admitted he was right. The child in her belly was her family. Especially after Anne and Harper were gone, this child was likely to be her last family in this world.
But once it came to her biological mother, she was unwilling to do anything when there was the slightest risk of exposing her mother.
Moreover, the Lambert family and George would never accept this child.
Even if it was a secret marriage, George might think she wanted to use her pregnancy to join the Lambert family.
George had raised Ryan and had helped her. She couldn’t go against George.

You can go with him. No one knows you there. You can carry out your experiments and give birth to the child there! I’ll do my best to protect your privacy and normal life.”
He looked at her affectionately. “Please don’t refuse me. This child is the closest person to us in this
world!”
Ever since he slept with her that night, his restraint where she was concerned seemed to have

He hoped she wouldn’t refuse. Otherwise, he didn’t know if he would hurt her to keep their child! Because this child is the only connection between them.
She trembled. When their eyes met, she had the illusion that he was madly in love with her, a love even stronger than Nathan’s love.
“Ryan…” she called his name and even forgot to struggle.
He rubbed her lips, lowered his head, and slowly approached. Observing her reaction, his Adam’s apple bobbed and he whispered, “Promise me, Audrey.”
Then, he kissed her again.
He pressed her against the security door, holding the back of her head and her waist as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
