Outside, Norton still knocked on the door heavily. He chattered, “Ryder, I don’t mind if you want to make out in my office. Come out first and let’s have a good talk.”
For the sake of the money, everything can be discussed.
“Scram! Now!”
Norton was as noisy as a buzzing fly, making Ryder feel irritated, “Or, what can you do?” he said to Norton.
“You’re the one who took my office, yet you still dare to threaten me!” Norton shouted.
Even though Ryder couldn’t see it, Norton still made a gesture of heartbreak and bitterly said, “A few days ago I was your sweetheart. Now that you have a new lover so you treat me coldly. It’s so unfair. You can’t abandon me!”
After saying that, Norton specially made a fake mournful sound to act real.
Marina turned around and carefully observed Ryder’s expression. She was wondering that is there possible that Ryder is bisexual?
Anyway, it wasn’t mentioned in the book. Everything was based on Marina’s own experience.
“What are you thinking?”
Ryder’s face darkened. “Was this stupid woman suspecting that there was something between him and Norton? How was that possible!
He could deal with Marina later, he had to deal with the annoying fly outside.”
“You better say it again.”
Ryder put on a fake smile and stared sharply at the door. He was angry.
“No! Why should I listen to you?”
Norton thought he had said enough. And he just did Ryder a favor. It was not good for Ryder to do such things.
Norton ran away as fast as he can.
Ryder opened the door; he didn’t find Norton.
Marina was very disappointed. Norton did no help at all, just left her alone with Ryder.
Thinking of how violent Ryder was, Marina shivered and dared not to look at his eyes.
“Take off your clothes. Don’t make me repeat myself!”
Ryder closed the door again and looked at Marina sharply.
“Take off clothes, what for?”
Marina covered her chest with her hands. She wanted to save the last bit of dignity for herself. With the degree of Ryder’s paranoia, anything could happen.
There was no doubt that she was scared.
“Check.”
Ryder said only one word.
“But, shouldn’t the doctor do the check?”
Marina insisted. She had never heard that Ryder knew how to check.
“So, do you want Norton to examine you, or do you have other intentions towards him?”
Ryder slowly approached, his eyes were dangerous, the veins on his forehead were jumping, and he had reached the edge of rage.
‘I was so wronged!’ Marina thought.
Marina wanted to cry. Marina barely knew any of Ryder’s friends. He would not introduce her to others, because the two of them treated each other like strangers and had their own lives.
Thinking of Marie’s past of flirting with young fellows, Marina rubbed her forehead hopelessly.
“No, I don’t know him.”
Marina’s desire to survive made her explain with all her might, “It was my fault. I forgot that I was allergic to prawns, so…”
Ryder’s expression eased a little, but he didn’t want to hear what Marina said. He pulled her shirt, and in an instant, the buttons cracked and scattered. Her clothes were taken off violently.
“Ryder, don’t go too far!”
Marina was anxious and spoke without thinking.
Ryder ignored her and turned her around. He saw the rose tattoo on Marina’s back.
The reason why Marina got a tattoo was that she was injured many years ago. Even if she had repaired it, the skin still looked a little strange. She cared about beauty so she got a beautiful rose for herself.
The tattoo was there, so the person had not been replaced. Ryder’s eyes flashed a trace of imperceptible fluctuations.
He thought that Marina had changed a lot recently. She must be someone else. Not him who was suspicious, but…
It seemed that this woman didn’t change at all. She even used her daughter, Nicole, to get freedom. She was hopeless.
“My back is a little itchy.”
The office was silent, and Marina could hear Ryder’s breathing.
Ryder’s aura was too strong, and he was cold-blooded like a superior. The two of them alone made Marina feel stressed.
On the first day that she knew she was in the book, Marina realized that this man was not someone she could handle. What she had to do was to change the tragic ending.
Marina didn’t think that she would be loved by such a ruthless man.
When the female lead appeared, she could wait for a divorce and then be happy alone.
This was just her previous plan. After getting along with her daughter, Nicole, Marina’s heart softened.
For some reason, that kind of blood relationship made her heart soften. When she saw Nicole’s eyes that desired motherly love, she always thought of her past self.
So, she would rather not have anything, no property, jewelry, or house, just to make Ryder agree that Nicole could live with her.
“Put on your clothes and ask the nurse to give you an injection.”
Ryder took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Marina’s body. He was satisfied after confirming that she would not be exposed.
“Mom!”
Marina was being injected, and Kenny took Nicole to the ward.
“Boss, I had no choice. Nicole is grabbing me and won’t let go.”
It was better to not come to a place like a hospital. Kenny knew his boss felt that it was unlucky here.
“Nicole missed me, missed his uncle Norton. After all, my face is pleasing, unlike somebody…”
Norton appeared at the right time and gave Marina a strange look.
The eldest daughter of the White family, she has the gut and never takes Ryder seriously. Norton appreciated her about this.
Nicole glanced at Norton and turned her head away. She did not like the weird uncle.
“Well,” Norton had something to say.
Nicole ignored Norton but he does not feel embarrassed. It is rare that Ryder is not busy and took the initiative to come to the hospital.
“You want money again?”
Before Norton continued, Ryder asked directly.
“It’s been a long time since you gave me money.”
Norton felt wronged. He liked the latest laboratory in Europe. He wanted to build his own. However, the hospital could not make ends meet now. His financial problems were too tight.
Money?
Marina looked at Norton and thought, “With his appearance, he asked for tens of millions. Are men more expensive? In my opinion, he deserves 200, 000 yuan a year, tops!”
“Every young guy that Marie had hooked up in a bar is younger than this Dr. Norton!”
