Be was deeply touched, leaning gently against Asher’s shoulder. She immediately felt all the

    After a night of turmoil, Ryan made his way back to the other home with Carrie, a troubled expression


    hanging on his face.


    It was snowing on his way home. By the time the luxury car pulled up to the entrance, Yasmin had


    been standing there with arge ck umbre, waiting for him for a long time.


    “Mr. Hoffman, you’re back.”


    Seeing Ryan getting out of the car, Yasmin hurriedly bowed before covering him with the ck


    umbre, leaving herself exposed to the


    snow.


    “Is Carrie asleep?” Ryan asked eagerly.


    “Ms. Salvador has been waiting for you toe home. I’ve advised


    her several times to go to bed, but she refused.” Yasmin replied with a helpless yet affectionate smile.


    “Don’t me her. She’s just worried about you.”


    A warmth flooded Ryan’s heart, prompting him to quickly enter the


    vi.


    Concerned that his cold body from the snow outside might affect


    Carrie, he changed into the pajamas Yasmin had prepared for him


    downstairs before ascending the stairs, intending to surprise his


    beloved girlfriend.


    Ryan gently pushed open the door and noticed that the bedsidemp in the bedroom was still turned


    on and an open book was lying on the bed. However, the delicate figure that he yearned for was


    nowhere to


    be seen.


    He felt a slight panic in his heart and was about to call out Carrie’s name when he faintly heard rustling


    soundsing from the


    bathroom.


    Without hesitation, he quickly walked to the bathroom door.


    Inside, everything suddenly quieted down. Not a sound could be heard.


    “Carrie?”


    Ever since Ryan fell in love with Carrie, he treated her like a precious


    gem, fearing the thought of losing her. His nerves were constantly on


    edge, and he was always worried about her well-being.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    When the bathroom became abnormally quiet, he feared that


    something might have gone wrong. With a forceful kick, he swung the


    door open, almost sending it flying.


    “Ah!” Carrie screamed in panic. Her hands instinctively covered her


    head as she turned to face him.


    “Uh…” Ryan was taken aback. His throat tightened with a low grunt.


    His mind went nk as desire clouded his eyes like a storm. His fingers involuntarily curled into a fist.


    “Aaaahhh!” Carrie screamed once more upon seeing Ryan’s face,


    tightly shutting her eyes and instinctively crossing her arms over her chest. Her delicate frame trembled


    in panic as she turned away.


    But what was the use?


    The sight of her exposed, fair, and slender back filled Ryan’s eyes and ignited a storm of emotions


    within Ryan.


    “Carrie… You… I… We…” Ryan mumbled incoherently. His breath grew heavy, and his eyes were red


    with desire as he stared at her intently.


    “I just took a shower, and I didn’t know when you woulde back…” Carrie turned her trembling back


    to him, looking alluring.


    The steamy bathroom created an ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. Ryan’s forehead


    was covered in sweat. Unable to control himself, he felt his self-control slip away as he moved toward


    her.
