The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060

Though Carrie was called a fool by Bethany since she was a child, she was far from foolish. When she heard the words “living together”, she reacted with a slight shrug and trembled. The sweetness of the orange juice in her mouth left a lingering bitter taste.

Ryan secretly took her cold hand and held it tightly. He quickly said, “Uncle Greg, I acknowledge that my private life in the past was reckless, but please give mea chance to make amends. While I was once flirtatious, I’ve never crossed any boundaries or brought any woman home before Carrie."

“Ryan, what I mean is..."

“To be honest, now I can’t imagine my life without Carrie anymore.” Ryan confessed as he placed a warm kiss on Carrie’s hand and gazed at her with affection. “Even a single day away from her feels unbearable. I’m afraid ’ll lose my mind."

Ryan’s soft, soothing voice flowed into Carrie’s ear, eliciting a flutter in her heart, as if tickled by a soft feather.

She felt the same way. She didn’t want to leave Ryan. Without him, she couldn’t eat or sleep in peace.

Gregory was taken aback by Ryan’s audacity. He had never encountered such shamelessness before. He found it hard to believe how bold Ryan acted in front of him.

Ryan then shifted to a more serious tone and said, “I have another reason for not wanting Carrie to return to Tideview Manor."

“What could that be?” Gregory asked with confusion.

“I’m afraid Carrie will be bullied."

“What are you talking about?"

Carrie’s forehead glistened with sweat, and her lips parted slightly, but she stayed quiet.

Feeling her palms sweating in his, Ryan quickly spoke to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid, Carrie. With me and your father here to support you, feel free to talk about any difficulties or problems."

Deep down, he hoped that Carrie would open up about all the cruel things Bethany had done to her, speaking out for herself to seek justice.

The two men gazed at her with intense eyes, waiting for her response.

After a while, Carrie’s lips trembled, and she finally spoke, “No... No one bullied me."

“Carrie...” Ryan felt a surge of disappointment in his heart.
