Chapter 1021
The memory Louis had of Ryleigh was when she impressed the crowd on stage back at high school.
He came forward and admitted that Willow indeed had done something like that in the restaurant. However, since
Willow hadn’t exposed her identity in front of everyone yet, he couldn’t let the situation get out of hand, so he said,
“Both sides are at fault. We can gather up and find a solution afterward. There’s no need to make a scene out of
it.”
Ryleigh looked at him and asked, “Are you blind? How could you,”
Russell interrupted before she could finish her sentence, “Shut up, Ryleigh! If I hear another word coming out of
your mouth, I’ll punish you when we get home later!
Willow went forward to apologize to him, but he paid him no mind. He looked at Ryleigh, who was exasperated. He

When Maisie and Nolan appeared, Ryleigh walked up to her and complained, her mouth pouting, “Zee, you’re finally
here. I’m so sad…”
As if she had found someone to back her up and that she could do whatever she wanted now, she pulled a funny
face at Willow, making Louis feel that she was such a silly and adorable girl
From then on, whenever he saw Ryleigh, he couldn’t control himself from teasing her. When she became angry, he
would feel happy. It was like seeing a kitty that got pissed off but refused to stretch its claws out to hurt people.
He had been reluctant to go on a blind date, but when his mother told him that she had spoken to the Hills about an
engagement, he did not say no. Larissa looked at him in surprise and asked, “Didn’t you say you don’t like other
people to make decisions for you? You refuse to go on blind dates, but you said yes to an engagement?”
He put the book down and lifted his head to look at his mother. “An acquaintance is better than a stranger.”
Of course, it was only his excuse.
However, he was well aware that Ryleigh might not like it, so he said, “Well, since we’re getting engaged, I guess we
have to bond first.”
Larissa looked at him for a while before smiling and saying, “You young people can do whatever you want. You can
bond for however long you like as long as you can fall in love with each other.” Initially, he intended to make her fall
in love with him as soon as possible, but something had happened to Maisie, and their wedding was postponed for
three years.
During those three years, he had approached Ryleigh with the excuse of looking for Maisie. Ryleigh believed him
and kept avoiding him.
However, the more she tried to avoid him, the more he wanted to look for her. In the end, both of them had gotten
used to it, and Ryleigh did not run away anymore when she saw him.
He was infuriated when he saw her drink herself silly at the nightclub alone He walked over, and just when he was
about to ask her what she was doing, she fell into his arms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she looked up at him drunkenly, his anger disappeared. Of course, if she had thrown up.
After that, he sent her back to the Hills. He took off his jacket and asked the maid to change her clothes for her.
After the maid finished changing her clothes, he walked into the bedroom and saw Ryleigh had rolled under the
bed.
He shook his head helplessly and walked over to pick her up from the floor. This was the first time he saw Ryleigh
was being so quiet and well-behaved.
Suddenly, Ryleigh grabbed his hand and mumbled, “Please… Please stop asking. It wasn’t me…”
He looked at her fixedly for a long time. When he saw the drop of tear at the corner of her eyes, he couldn’t help
but think of the incident that had caused her to withdraw from her academy. He figured that he should investigate
the matter himself.
He raised his hand to wipe the tears off her cheek gently. Then, he leaned down and approached her slowly. He
stopped in front of her lips and hesitated.
In the end, he kissed her forehead and said, “Goodnight.”
