Carrie bumped around the ACE Club like a headless fly. She was pulled around by drunken guests.


    Some men even harassed her. She managed to avoid them, but they started yelling at her.


    Everyone in Zoe’s private room watched this andughed heartily. They found it more amusing than


    anyedy.


    “Hahahaha! This retard! She hasn’t changed one bit since she was in junior high school. Has she


    stopped growing since then? Hahahaha!”


    Zoe pointed at the screen andughed wildly. “Bethany, I’m really curious. Where did you hide that


    tattered bear?”


    “I hid it in…”


    Bethanyughed yfully and whispered something to Zoe.


    After hearing this, Zoe burst outughing.


    “That’s creative of you! I doubt that dummy will be able to find that tattered bear by tomorrow.


    Hahaha…”


    ….


    Carrie looked through almost all the tables in the club. She had been kicked so many times by the


    guests unintentionally that her arms and calves were all bruised.


    She stood there stupidly, hugging herself with trembling arms and looking at the strangers in front of


    her who were casting strange looks at her. Her mind went nk. Her breathing hitched and became


    Suddenly, the lights in the club changed colors.


    Colored confetti floated down like flowers in the spring.


    Everyone cheered and swayed their bodies on the dance floor.


    “Teddy… My teddy…”


    Carrie was only thinking about her toy. She bent over and tried to find the whereabouts of her teddy.


    Suddenly, her little face, which was covered in sweat and tears, bumped into a warm wall made of


    muscles.


    The collision made her see stars. Her nose was sore and numb, and the tears that were pricking at the


    corners of her eyes overflowed.


    “Oh, I’m sorry…”


    Carrie lowered her head and was about to run away when that moving


    “wall” blocked her way.


    “I’m really sorry, miss…”


    “Carrie?!”

    Carrie’s heart pounded rapidly. She covered her small nose and raised her clear, doe-like eyes slowly.


    What she saw next was Ryan’s deep and drunken gaze and thick eyebrows.


    “I’m not dreaming, am I? Is it really you?”


    The next second, Ryan widened his eyes. He suddenly opened his arms wide-to-wrap Carrie in his


    embrace. His left arm tightened around her waist, and his right hand sped the back of her neck to


    shield her protectively.


    After all, the dance floor was too chaotic. These adrenaline -fueled people were wild and might


    identally hurt her.


    Carrie’s heartbeat was racing. Her trembling little hands pressed on the hem of Ryan’s shirt.


    She wanted to push him away, but she had felt scared all night. With him supporting her, she wanted to


    hide in his arms for a while, even if it was only for a few seconds…


    Carrie thought, ‘This is wrong… He’s a good man, but he’s Zoe’s brother.’


    When people on the dance floor saw the “Prince of Savrow”, they felt as if they had seen a deity and


    gasped in surprise.


    Ryan’s gorgeous face made countless men cry and countless women scream.


    His charming eyes were famous for being the sexiest ones in Savrow, driving people to ecstasy and


    lust.


    At this moment, those captivating eyes were staring at the girl in his arms.


    The luxuriant life and the hustle and bustle in the club seemed like another world because Ryan and


    Carrie only focused on each other.


    “Did youe here alone?” Ryan asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.


    Carrie nodded, then shook her head.


    “What happened? Tell me.” The man’s eyes darkened for a moment, but his voice was gentle.


    “I… Lost my teddy…”


    Carrie did not want to speak at first, but when he asked, she could no longer hold back her grievances


    and started crying.


    “Ryan, my teddy is missing… Annie gave me that teddy… It’s my favorite teddy…”
