Chapter 92
“I just don’t want the child to have any connection with the Lambert family.” Audrey tightly gripped the hem of her coat, finally composed herself, and looked up.
“The child came unexpectedly. If it hadn’t, I might have chosen to live a lonely life, but it came. It’s my only family in this world! Making the child a love child is my fault, and I will do my best to make amends! But I cannot betray the Lambert family any more than this, because of the debts I owe to them… I won’t be able to make up for it.”
Ryan locked eyes with her. He lifted his hand and removed his glasses. “We can register our marriage in Ruplana. If you are unwilling to continue our marriage after the child is born, we can get divorced again. If the Lambert family finds out, It can also be an excuse for me to help you for the Lambert
family!
“Audrey, I can compromise on anything, but making my child a secret love child is the bottom line. I hope you can respect and understand that.”
The child is Audrey’s and also Ryan’s, and his perspective is understandable.
In the end, Audrey nodded.

She put down the cup, stood up, and headed toward the door. “Well, go back to campus.
“The road is slippery due to the rain. Stay here tonight,” Ryan said.
“It’s not far.”
Audrey was about to say goodbye to Ryan when suddenly an explosion sounded in the distance. Her foot hit the sofa, and she lost her balance.
“Be careful!” Ryan’s strong and powerful arm circled her waist, and she fell into his arms.
Their eyes met.
Then, the lights in the entire apartment suddenly went out.
Outside the window, the entire city of Cloudmill quickly plunged into darkness. It was so dark that you couldn’t see your fingers.
Audrey tightly clutched Ryan’s shirt with both hands. She attempted to stand up, but her movement was restrained by Ryan’s large hand.
In the darkness, where her vision was deprived, her other senses became exceptionally sensitive.
Audrey could smell Ryan’s fresh scent.
She could also feel his hot breath.
The warmth of Ryan’s body came through his pants and thin shirt, making Audrey restless.
“I can get up now,” Audrey said.
Chapter 92
The darkness was fueling the unspeakable greed inside Ryan. He no longer had to suppress the lust in his eyes. He tentatively touched Audrey’s cheek.
“Ry–Ryan…”
Hearing Audrey’s trembling voice, he took advantage of the darkness and rubbed her lips with his thumb.
Audrey’s eyelashes trembled, but she didn’t refuse. Ryan’s possessiveness grew.
His Adam’s apple moved, and he slowly lowered his head to kiss her.
Sensing Ryan’s intention, Audrey grabbed his wrist, but he hugged her tighter.
Ryan’s breath came closer, and her heart beat anxiously.
Even though he hadn’t kissed her yet, she was already panicking
Audrey couldn’t help but recall the day when Ryan kissed her, pressing her against the door and confessing to her in this very apartment.
Audrey had always had a strong sense of repulsion toward intimate contact with men, including when she was in love with Nathan.
It was because she had witnessed her biological father’s violence against her mother, which left her traumatized.
This was why even though Audrey had been with Nathan for many years, they had never been able to cross the line. At that time, Nathan loved her so much and was unwilling to force her at all. Even when they kissed, it was just a peck.
If she hadn’t drunk the spiked drink at Nathan’s request last time at Jacinda Hotel, she would never have been intimate with any man while sober.
But for some reason, Audrey wasn’t repulsed by Ryan’s proximity.
Ryan’s lips touched the corner of Audrey’s mouth, and her breathing stopped. Her mind was in a
mess. Just as she was about to reach out to push him, he grabbed her hand.
Ryan was like a guide, holding her hand and putting it on his shoulder.
