Chapter 221 Apologizing to Her
Some people are worried, while others are overjoyed. Ryker and Aylin are so intimately close, their radiant smiles can’t be hidden by anything.
If it weren’t for the fans around and the need to maintain his image, he would really jump three feet high in excitement.
As I got closer, I could even smell the pleasant, subtle fragrance emanating from Aylin. It was sweet but not overpowering, enticing one to delve deeper and get to know her better, causing my heart to race.
This feeling was something Ryker had never experienced before.
He felt an overwhelming sense of sweetness and beauty, and if he could, he truly wished to freeze this moment in time forever.
Violet acted quickly, as she was a girl who loved to document her life. She always carried a Polaroid camera with her, and the photos were developed in no time.
Ryker glanced and raised his lips, “Can you give me all the photos you took of me?”
Violet happily agreed.
In no time, Ryker had pocketed several Polaroid photos with good angles and lighting.
Immediately, he couldn’t wait to say goodbye to his fans, “Thank you all, I’m going to eat now. See you at the next autograph session.”
Fans followed their idol, obediently leaving the area.
Ryker gently touched the photo in his pocket, his amber eyes narrowing and filled with brightness. However, when he went to see Aylin, he found that her complexion was quite pale.
“Let’s find a quiet place to have lunch.”
Ryker was momentarily stunned, but Aylin had already started walking ahead. His heart raced as he hurried to catch up, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
Oh no, my earlier actions still managed to upset her.
Was he being too obvious?
He had already exercised great restraint and self-control…
Aylin entered a nearby American cuisine restaurant, and Ryker carefully held the door open for her. With apologetic eyes, the amber-colored dog looked at her like a big dog that had been drenched in the rain, gazing at her pitifully.
“Aylin, please don’t be mad at me.
I don’t even have a photo with you. I just wanted to have a keepsake earlier, in case you disappear again next time…”
Pausing for a moment, Ryker raised two fingers and swore, “Aylin, I was wrong. I won’t offend you again without greeting you first. If there’s a next time… if there’s a next time, I’ll be a little dog!”
On weekdays, the aloof and arrogant supermodel now seemed like a gentle golden retriever that Aylin kept by her side, wagging its tail and begging for mercy.
Aylin’s eyes sparkled ever so slightly.
“I’m not angry.”
She beckoned the waiter over and ordered a few dishes that both she and Ryker liked. Then, she asked for the location of the private room and called Ryker to join her.
Ryker was still in a daze, and Aylin couldn’t help but feel exasperated. She gently tousled his curly hair, which she had styled earlier, and said, “How could I possibly be mad at you? It’s just a photo. Come on, let’s go eat.”
She was indeed not used to being photographed by strangers, but she was well aware of Ryker’s personality. His aloof and unrestrained demeanor was necessary when facing the camera in front of others.
In reality, deep down, he actually values emotions and is quite afraid of loneliness.
Ryker had no parents or relatives. In fact, all children from orphanages were afraid of being abandoned again, especially since he had suddenly disappeared for three years.
She couldn’t even imagine how Ryker, with his deep emotions, managed to get through it all.
How could Aylin possibly bear to scold him? Besides, Ryker had shielded her quite well in the photo, so it likely wouldn’t have any impact.
Recalling how Ryker’s fans are always optimistic and positive, Aylin complimented, “Your fans are quite sensible, you’ve done a good job guiding them.”
“That’s all because of their love for me. They themselves are outstanding, it’s just that they project it onto me,” Ryker said with a brilliant smile.
As an artiste, he has always been grateful for the support of his fans. The fact that people with no blood relation to him can dedicate their support is truly a blessing.
“You’re quite exceptional too,” Aylin said with a faint smile.
Upon receiving this compliment, Ryker instantly cheered up. If he had a tail behind him, it would be wagging wildly at this moment.
His amber eyes sparkled brilliantly. “Aylin, are you complimenting me on my progress? In that case, can I shamelessly ask for a reward?”
“What reward do you want?”
“I… want to taste your cooking!”
“Okay. I’ll think about it.”
“Ah…”
Aylin playfully teased Ryker as they made their way to the private room. Ryker entered first, with Aylin following closely behind. Just as she was about to close the door to the private room, a sudden force stopped her movement.
Upon turning around, a pair of beautiful, slender-fingered hands were holding the door.
In the next moment, the door was forcefully pushed open from the outside.
The man who entered was tall and well-built, with deep-set eyes and sharp, chiseled features that exuded a sense of perfection. He carried with him the irresistible charm of a mature man.
It was such a breathtaking face that made one’s heart race. At this moment, however, his expression seemed to have sunk to the lowest depths, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complex, as if a bottle of thick ink had been knocked over, unable to be diluted.
Aylin’s hand froze as she pushed the door.
“Gavyn?”
The door swung wide open, and as the distance between them closed, Gavyn could finally get a clear look at Aylin’s attire.
Unlike the previous elegant and noble formal attire.
At this moment, she is dressed in sporty casual wear, her delicate little face framed by a wide-brimmed baseball cap, looking youthful and lively.
Gavyn’s deep eyes sparkled for a moment.
In the next moment, when he saw Ryker and her dressed identically in casual hooded outfits, his handsome face suddenly turned cold.
Aylin never wore matching couple outfits with him even when they got married!
He only thought about this aspect, feeling that she was treating them differently, completely overlooking the past three years of his suspicion and misunderstanding towards Aylin.
Gavyn’s displeasure surged within him, but recalling Waylon’s previous advice, he held back his anger and forced a smile as he said to Aylin, “Let’s have a meal together.”
After waiting for quite a while, Aylin finally heard this sentence.
“Huh?”
Which part is Gavyn talking about?
Lloyd hurried over, and Aylin watched him panting behind Gavyn, her eyes questioning. What was he doing?
Lloyd understood her meaning but didn’t know how to respond. Feeling guilty, he averted his gaze and pretended to look around.
Heaven knows what to say; he’s just an assistant after all.
Gavyn ignored the exchange of glances between the two, his expression calm and composed. He continued walking, treating Ryker, who harbored hostility towards him, as if he were nothing but air.
“You should thank me.”
Gavyn straightened his sleeves, lowered his gaze slightly, and looked at Aylin, trying his best to maintain a calm tone. “However, I misunderstood you last time, and I apologize for that. So, I’ll treat you to this meal.”
After saying that, he walked straight to the table and took the main seat.
Throughout the entire process, his actions were very smooth, as if he wasn’t an uninvited guest, but rather someone Aylin had already arranged to be there.
Aylin’s brows furrowed in discomfort as she watched, while Lloyd covered his face with his hand.
He felt that the situation was extremely awkward, and he really wanted to leave. However, since he had already come, it was impossible for him to abandon Gavyn and walk away.
Gavyn appeared to be acting like the host, and Aylin couldn’t understand what he was doing. She bluntly said, “Mr. Delacruz, did you forget to take your medicine before leaving the house today?”
Aylin couldn’t help but feel baffled.
What’s there to be thankful for? She has no reason to thank him; it’s already good enough that she didn’t beat him up!
Upon hearing this, Gavyn put down the menu and looked at her with pursed lips. “You’re also in charge of a company now, so don’t be too emotional when handling things.”
Aylin was confused.
