“Carrie? What brings you here?”


    Be pinched Carrie’s soft cheek with glee.


    Carrie pursed her lips shyly and clung to her teddy. “I missed you and


    Justin, so I came over.”


    Justin curled his lips.


    He enjoyed being associated with Be.


    Be did not feelfortable that Carrie saw her and Justin as a pair. Nevertheless, it tugged on


    Be’s heart to see Carrie holding. onto the teddy she gave her. Be caressed Carrie’s head lovingly.


    “I missed you too, Carrie.”


    She then turned callously to Ryan and asked, “Did you bring Carrie here from Shannon’s birthday


    party?”


    “Yeah, I did,” Ryan admitted with a smile.


    “Yet, you have the audacity to be proud of yourself.”


    Filled with rage, Be got up in his face and poked his shoulder. “You only care about being together


    with Carrie and your own happiness. Have you ever considered Carrie’s feelings? You took Carrie


    away without thinking about the consequences. What happens when Carrie goes home? Gregory and


    Shannon wille down hard on her.”


    “Home? Why should Carrie go back to a home where her mother and sister don’t treat her like family?”


    Ryan raised his brow, his gaze burning. “Carrie has been living with


    me.”


    Be’s eyes bulged in shock. “What did you say?”


    “I registered my property on the hilltop under Carrie’s name. That’s


    her home now. When she doesn’t feel happy or safe with Shannon


    and Bethany at the Salvadors’ residence, she can just live at the


    hilltop vi.” Ryan cocked his head and looked tenderly at Carrie.


    Be pinched her nose bridge in fury.


    “When did this happen?”


    Unable to sit back and do nothing, Justin strolled to his buddy’s side


    with furious eyes. “How dare you live with my sister, Ryan? The nerve


    of you.”


    “We have done nothing but live together!” Feeling misunderstood, Ryan was eager to exin himself.


    Many women threw themselves at Ryan, getting naked and slipping


    under his covers.


    Ryan had kicked all of them out of his bed.


    However, his intimacy with Carrie was only limited to hugs and


    kisses. He had never unbuttoned her clothes or vited her.


    Ryan considered himself stained.


    Carrie, on the other hand, was the definition of purity. He was reluctant to touch her, knowing he did not


    deserve her.


    Ryan was d enough to just stay by her side.


    “Do you even believe the words that areing out of your mouth,


    Ryan?”


    Be ground her teeth, her eyes welling up. “If you expect me to believe that you’ll stay away from


    women, that is when pigs fly.”

    Ryan furrowed his brows, lost for words.


    It felt to him as if Carrie was Justin and Be’s daughter, while he was her boyfriend, whom they


    disapproved of.


    “Justin, Be!”


    Carrie walked up and stood firmly in front of Ryan, her face flushed


    with anxiety. “Don’t say that about Ryan. It was me. I wanted to be with Ryan.”


    Justin and Be were shocked.


    Ryan teared up as his heart pounded out of his chest.


    He spread his arms apart from behind and held Carrie, resting his chin on top of her head. With the girl


    clinging to her teddy, th ked like a family of three.


    “I’ll drop you off at Grandpa Nigel’s ce after the party, okay, Carrie?” Be looked into Carrie’s clear


    eyes and asked softly.


    Carrie bit her lips and hung her head low.


    Be was taken aback and sighed. “Do you really want to be with him?”
