“I was never a good person; I wanted to be near you but never wanted to commit anything to you; I wanted you to be with me but never wanted to have any kind of relationship with you; I—I was in a denial until one day I realized I—” He paused as he felt intense pain in his heart.“Te… Tell me more!” Lucy asked in her shivering, weak voice, “One day, what?” “One day, when you were locked on my terrace, I could not find you the whole night and almost became crazy, but I did not know what I was I feeling; at first I just wanted to make you mine, but I had some other feelings from then on. I could not see you in pain! That’s why I asked you to take a leave, but then— you disappeared.” He explained to her that she did not return to work because he assumed she despised him until he discovered that the mayor's people were behind her and she was nowhere to be found. He told her that he looked for her everywhere, but in the end, when he found her, he was quite late, and Cherry was kidnapped.“
Lucy was dumbfounded. She had never seen Ryan talk this much in the past, but at the moment, he had a lot of things to say to her, and she liked that.She always wanted him to talk with her in that way, rather than in the normal boss and employee way.“Lucy, can you tell me, why you said that I do not deserve to be a father? I killed my own father, so I do not deserve to be the one?” Ryan asked, changing all the sweet topics between them.“I—I never meant what I said! I just wanted to stay away from you because—” Lucy said as she lowered her head. She knew she had done the most stupidest thing in the world. If she had known that Ryan had mutual feelings for her, she would have fought for him for the whole world.“Because of what? for what I did to you?” Ryan asked as he held on to her hand and asked her to tell him. He told her that her words were still alive in his ears and had become the biggest nightmare of his life.“Lucy, this was something I wanted to know, but there was no one
Ryan was drained of all his energy. He did not know how to fight it anymore, but he wanted to be at peace and wanted his family to be together forever. Even after all these years, there were still many obstacles in his path that he had to overcome in order to create a perfect happy family.“Do not worry, kids, I just like your mother, I will make you both fall in love with me to the point where you guys would never be able to leave me.” He said, painfully smiling.=====“General Mu, are you not going to see your son and daughter? They are right here!” Ricky said as he gave him a doubtful look. He thought he would be dying by now to see his son and daughter, but to them, he looked like as if nothing had happened.“I do! But I do not have the face for it, and I have been barred from entering the temple for the last 36 years; I am not sure why they let me in again." General Mu answered as he looked around the temple. A lot had changed since he last entered there, but the divine feelings
“Oh, look who is here! My dear sister is here, wow!” James exclaimed and acted surprised, and rolled his eyes. “You are here to see your father but never ever thought of seeing us, no matter how many times we went to see you!” James said it in anger, but Lucy felt confused. She looked at the men on her left and right and shook her head. “I beg your pardon, young master Mu; I was in the wrong not to come and see you,” Lucy replied in the most polite way possible “What the hell are you talking about? Talk to us in a proper way!” James complained. Lucy smiled and went to him, but before that, Edmund took her hand, yanked her towards his side, and told her to stay put. “What is it? I just want to talk to them; you cannot just—” She was still talking when Edmund looked at General Mu, who was looking at them with an expectant look, but Edmund shattered it when he asked Lucy to stay away from the Mu family; he was not there to do some chit-chat things. “Brother, what are you talking about?
[ Note:- Sorry for the inconvenience in the last chapter]“Edmund, this is what you wanted me to give you, so take it and leave here if you do not want to take up the last name Wang!” Master Wang stated that he had given the poison's antidote and instructed him to flee as far as possible.“Grandpa, this is not what I want! I just do not want to be restricted by you! I do not want to do things like you do!” Edmund said in hushed tones, feeling guilty for what he had said to him.Deep down in his heart, he knew that Master Wang had a great affection for him and Lucy too. But he could not understand why he was all rude and neglecting her. But in the end, he did not want to leave the house.“I have no descendent left; if you leave me, the Wang bloodline ends here, and I am ready to accept it happily, but you see—if you want to change the family rules, you have to be the head of the Wangs and the temple, so that you can change it yourself and not ask favor from me.” Master Wang stated that
“Lucy, hey! Can you please hear me out!?” Ryan walked behind her and tried to catch up with her, but it seemed she did not want to talk to him.“Ok, I was wrong, even though what I did was wrong, but I was! So, let’s have a talk can we!?” Ryan said as walked behind her, when she turned around with a swoosh and threw two red cards on his face and asked him what those things where and why did she have no idea of that at all.“Lucy, umm… look, can you not see that this is called marriage certificate and, since it has your signature and picture on you, and mine, of course, it is supposed to be ours!” Ryan get her into some detalis but she was still inraged, “What? What’s with that look?”“You are talking about my look here?” Lucy stated and looked directly into his eyes, “I am married for around 7 years by now, and I do not even know what in the world is happening here?” She asked as she glared at him in anger.“Look, what are you talking about? Whatever you saying, makes no sense here.
“Look, you were the one who signed the papers; you were the one who allowed me to get the documents; I did not do anything that you did not want me to do! I accepted it with your permission. I did what it after asking you.” Ryan said as he looked into Lucy’s confused eyes.“I never gave such a type of permission to you; I mean, as long as my memory serves me right or I did not lose anything then.” Lucy said, with a confused look on her face."No, I did write you a letter before Cherry's wedding; I told you that we would be getting registered on the same day as Cherry, and after I deal with my family, you will be with me, and—remember, I sent you a paper to sign and told you, you are free from here, but also that this will be the new beginning of our lives," Ryan explained to her and told her that he never forced or lied to her, he had changed for good.“So? Are you saying that— those papers were not to free me from your slavery or something? Were they for us to register our marriage?
“No! You never lost the chance! You were always there in my heart, even if I had forgotten you. The thought that I was missing something was always there in my heart. You were always there!” Lucy said as she gathered the courage to hug him for the first time. “No matter how you do things and what you do, I—I am a sucker for you and even if you kill me, I will only that it’s alright, I do not mind, I was killed by the person whom I love the most!” Ryan heard her and could not help but chuckle, “You sound like a sadistic person right now!” He said and wrapped his hands around her waist and kissed her hair, “I can never do that to you!” “Let go of me, my brothers are crazy for me and if they see me hugging you like this, they will kill you for sure!” Lucy said and tried to push him away from her but Ryan hugged her even tighter and told her that as much as he want to show that he was scared of her brothers; he loved her more.“This is ridiculous!” Lucy exclaimed and pushed him away fro
