Bethany fell heavily to the ground. Her swollen mouth rendered her speechless, leaving only tears.


    “Stop it! Please, stop!” cried Carrie, her tears flowing uncontrobly, and her sobbing resembling that of


    a five-year-old. Each teardrop hit Ryan’s shoulder like a hammer, leaving him heartbroken.


    “Okay, okay… I’ll stop hitting Bethany. Darling, please don’t cry. I’ll do as you say, I promise,” Ryan


    consoled Carrie, gently patting her back.


    Even David, who has been driving for Ryan for over a decade, was left


    dumbfounded.


    This remarkable young girl has not only brought their young master down from his pedestal but has


    also healed him.


    Since his father’s passing, Ryan has been living in the shadows, growing increasingly cold and


    ruthless, mocking life and devoid of


    emotions.


    However, Carrie’s arrival has transformed Ryan. She turned him into a person capable of feeling


    emotions,ughter, and tears. It’s truly a


    remarkable change.


    Carrie gradually calmed her fluctuating emotions, sobbing softly in Ryan’s embrace.


    In her typical lively and innocent demeanor, Carrie often made Ryan


    forget that his cherished wife was not just an ordinary girl. She had


    autism.


    Ryan kept this a secret from Carrie, sending people both domestically and internationally in search of


    treatments, but to no avail. He received advice that her condition required psychological guidance and


    enduring patience. The journey was long and agonizing, one that


    few could endure.


    Yet, he was determined to persevere


    Carrie was his partner. Having chosen her, he decided never to


    abandon her and to stand by her side for life.


    “Ryan… Thank you. Thank you for not hitting my sister,” Carrie whispered softly.


    “Bethany hurt you, insulted you, and hit you. Why are you still trying to protect her?” Ryan’s brow

    furrowed with concern, but his tone


    remained gentle.


    “Because she’s my sister… Mom and Dad really like her. They’re


    always happy to see her. I don’t want to upset them or see them sad because of my sister’s injuries.”


    Carrie sniffed.


    It was a strange logic, unheard of before.


    To please her parents, Carrie was willing to forgive someone who had


    left her battered and bruised…


    Ryan felt a surge of bitterness in his throat, and his heart felt pierced by a thousand needles.


    “Carrie, you’re such a kind person.”


    ‘You’re so incredibly kind that it brings tears to my eyes. Your


    kindness, like a beacon of light, illuminates my dark life. You’re so out


    of ce, yet I yearn so desperately to hold onto you.’ Lost in his thoughts, Ryan suddenly felt Carrie’s


    lips press against his trembling


    throat.


    Sensations of desire clouded his mind, causing his muscles to tense


    1.


    David, the chauffeur, remainedposed, raising the privacy screen in the back seat without a word.


    The backseat quickly turned into a private space.


    “Carrie, you’re getting naughty.” Ryan’s forehead glistened with sweat, his gaze deepening as he


    wrapped his arms around her waist.


    “I’m not naughty. How could I ever be naughty to you? I just… I just wanted to thank you.”


    Carrie blinked her clear eyes, her lips pouting. “Well… It’s okay, then., Pretend I didn’t say anything…


    Hmph!”


    Ryan immediately imed her lips, consuming her breath.
