Chapter 1041


    After bidding farewell to the others, Ryan hurried home with a sense


    of urgency.


    He had been holding back these past few days, presenting himself as


    a stoic man who disregarded matters of love and affection in front of


    others. But in private, when no one else was around, he would wrap


    himself in a nket and repeatedly scroll through the intimate photos


    of him and Carrie. Sometimes, he would even find himself on the


    verge of tears from missing her too much.


    With his beloved girlfriend out of reach, Ryan felt deeply aggrieved.


    His appetite waned, and he struggled to sleep, nearing the point of


    exhaustion.


    Earlier, the yful banter between Justin and Be had ignited a


    raging fire within him. It was unbearably agonizing.


    As night descended, the sky became a canvas painted with countless


    twinkling stars.


    In the days when Ryan was absent, the temperature in Savrow rose


    rapidly. Even the nts in the courtyard began to stir with the


    anticipation of spring.


    For five consecutive days, Ryan had been absent without any news.


    Although Yasmin was worried, she dared not contact him privately.


    She worried so much that she lost her appetite and could not focus


    on anything she did...


    Every day, she devoted herself to two tasks: caring for her adorable young madam and eagerly awaiting her boss''s return.


    Tonight, Yasmin remained dressed heatly, standing outside the door.


    She had a strong feeling that Ryan would return victorious soon. Perhaps it would be tonight. Even if not tonight, surely by


    tomorrow.


    Just then, a white sports car resembling a lightning bolt slicing through the night approached from a distance.


    The screeching brakes pierced the air as the car came to a halt in


    front of her.


    Seeing Ryan emerge unscathed and striding confidently toward her, Yasmin felt overwhelmed with emotion. Her hands trembled


    as she


    tightly held onto him.


    “Young Master, you''re finally back.”


    “Why are you standing at the door sote at night?”


    Ryan nced at Yasmin, his eyes widening in surprise. “You weren''t standing here waiting for me every day, were you?”


    “No. | just couldn''t sleep tonight, so came outside for some fresh a to clear my mind. It’s just a coincidence that you''ve returned.”


    Yasmin smiled, though she did not disclose the truth.


    Her feelings for Ryan were deep, but she had always kept them


    hidden from him.


    “What about Carrie? Is she asleep?” Ryan asked nervously.

    “Yes, Young Madam is asleep. She fell asleep not long ago.”


    Ryan’s shoulder slumped with disappointment. “Gosh... | rushed back as fast as | could, even pushing the elerator to the


    limit, but | still couldn''t make it in time!”


    He knew his beloved girlfriend loved to sleep and was a sleeping beauty through and through.


    If it had not been for him pestering


    her every night with kisses aus mM

    have been able to do anything


    intimate until daytime.


    Yasmin smiled wryly. “It’s okay, Young Master. At least now you don’t have to stare at Young Madam’s photos yearningly,


    suffering from


    lovesickness.”


    Well, she was not wrong.


    But he was burning with desire, and his girlfriend was peacefully sleeping. Who was he supposed to turn to for relief? Should he


    just take a cold shower and try self-gratification?


    Life was tough.


    Just as Ryan was about to step


    inside, illuminated by the faint |i t

    cheek. It was as if she had been


    scratched by something sharp.


    Upon closer inspection, he could see that her left cheek was


    noticeably more swollen than her right.


    “Wait a minute, what happened to your face?” Ryan’s brows furrowed


    sharply.


    “It''s nothing, Young Master,” Yasmin replied, her eyes averting his gaze, a hint of evasion in her tone.


    “Nothing? It’s obvious you got pped. Do you think I’m blind?!”


    Ryan''s fiery gaze turned red with

    Yasmin knew she could not hide it any longer and lowered her head, speaking softly, “Earlier this afternoon, Ms. Zoe suddenly


    came over, saying she wanted to see Young Madam.”


    “Zoe? Why the hell did shee here?” Ryan’s heart suddenly raced


    with concern.
