Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 307

Marina sat on the chair obediently, and she felt her heart pounding.

'Oh my goodness, Ryder is so handsome. He is wearing a tailored suit that perfectly shows his tall and slender figure. He has bright eyes, delicate and beautiful facial features, with cold and noble temperament,' Marina thought.

Ryder walked around the living room. Marina was even more afraid to move when hearing the sound of his shoes that seemed to hit her heart. She worried that if Ryder felt unhappy, she would be toast.

After all, although Ryder looked gentle on the surface, he was essentially merciless. The more carelessly he smiled, the worse it would be.

Ryder narrowed his eyes, he noticed that Marina was much different. She looked gentle and quiet. Her eyes were bright, and on her expression were ignorance and a bit of fear.

Why was she scared?

This was the first time Ryder saw Marina feared him. He thought, 'I must enquire the servant carefully about what had happened during the week after he left.'

Noticing Ryder's probing eyes, Marina quickly looked down and tightened her shoulders. She was so scared that she trembled unconsciously, especially when she thought of how Ryder tortured the female lead.

Ryder soon noticed Marina's reaction easily. Then he was sure that Marina was afraid of him which arose his interest.

Marina was thin and in white, her teeth biting her red lips, and her eyelashes trembling. Seeing this, Ryder's eyes darkened a little.

Ryder had to admit that this woman was stunning. Otherwise, she wouldn't be surrounded by so many men unswervingly.

He looked away and sat lazily opposite Marina. He didn't ask why she suddenly took care of Nicole so nicely. Marina didn't even take a look at Nicole, let alone liked the little girl.

Ryder repressed his curiosity and poured himself a glass of water. Then he said slowly, "Have you taken medicine recently?"

Marina looked up in shock.

"You have been in bad health, so you have to take medicine on time in case you get sick," He stopped for a while and continued, "It will only hurt yourself."

Marina wanted to kill him at that moment. Although the novel didn't say by what medicine the female lead was poisoned, there was a hint that she had been taking that medicine for many years. It gradually eroded her body and caused her death.

Ryder sounded like a solicitous husband, but he was essentially cruel.

Ryder asked Marina to take medicine for some reason. It was rumored that the female lead's mother jumped off the building after going crazy. This was a family hereditary illness. Ryder began to ask the female lead to take medicine after she gave birth, lying that it was good for her health.

However, Marina didn't bring any medicine with her. And Marina felt scared when just seeing the medicine and water in the servant's hands, let alone took it.

As if Ryder had seen through her, he took the medicine and handed it to Marina's mouth. He looked at her, chuckling.

Marina was stunned when she saw Ryder chuckle, so the capsule went into her mouth. She got the water from Ryder's hand, took a gulp of it, and swallowed the capsule down.

Marina looked at Ryder, thinking that she was bewitched by his handsome face. Moreover, she couldn't vomit the capsule up. Marina felt so helpless that tears dropped from her eyes.

Marina was stunned in the chair. She looked around the empty living room and thought, 'Why does he stay here to take a shower?'

Listening to the sound in the bathroom, Marina became more and more worried. But she wasn't afraid that Ryder would force her to sleep with him. After all, no man would like to sleep with a woman who always intended to cheat on him.

Marina was worried that she would be toast if she irritated Ryder due to carelessness.

She remembered that Ryder must have suffered a lot before he could hold his position of CEO of the Langdon Group. He had been pressured by Colin. And none of the old shareholders were well-behaved who had been making various troubles. Moreover, he had to face the cynicism from his family.

The female lead's father looked down on Ryder, too. He felt that Ryder was only superficial on appearance without any real talent. He always gave Ryder an earful every time they met. The female lead's brother even persuaded her to divorce Ryder as soon as possible and find her a better husband.

According to the storylines, after Ryder came back from the business trip, he would take action on the Langdon Group and eventually take away Colin's power. Colin would be so angry that he would be hospitalized. At last, Ryder would begin to control the Langdon Group.

People of the Langdon Group thought that Ryder could be simply manipulated because he had been abroad. They didn't know that Ryder was owning a financial company there. Ryder used his company to involve the Langdon Group and made it become his own.

Marina felt more afraid while thinking of this. Ryder was worthy of being the male lead. And he must be the strongest one in all novels. Marina knew that she could never defeat Ryder, so she decided to be obedient to him and keep herself alive.

Marina decided to keep a low profile and be cautious before the female lead appeared. She would no longer stir up troubles and would cooperate with Ryder at any time.

Marina knew that Ryder would divorce her once he and the female lead fell in love with each other. Then she would be free and do whatever she wanted. However, she must stay alive before that.
