Book:Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart Published:2024-5-28

In just half an hour, Marina made a table of dishes, including a braised pork ribs.
In order to save time, after blanching the ribs in boiled water, she directly put them into a high-pressure cooker. While cooking the ribs, Marina washed, cut and cooked the vegetables.
However, she did not notice Ryder who stood in front of the kitchen door for a long time.
When he was young, Ryder had never eaten any food cooked by his mother. In that woman’s life, she did nothing but look out for herself. She only cared about her appearance and clothes. She liked playing cards and she would ask Colin for money by using Ryder as an excuse.
Ryder stared at Marina, deep in thought. He suddenly had a feeling. This was life. It was simple but warm.
But how long could they live together like this? His goal was only the Langdon family. In a few months, he would really control the Langdon Group. After that, he would leave Jin City.
Ryder had been married for several years, but he was always confused.
“The meal will be ready soon.”
Marina turned around and asked Ryder to prepare the chopsticks and the bowls.
After Ryder did it, Marina realized how she could order Ryder. He was the president of the Langdon Group.
The meal was sumptuous. Ryder picked up a piece of ribs. The taste was better than expected. The ribs were soft and fragrant. He picked up them one by one.
A little later, he finished a bowl of rice.
“I’ll go get you some rice.”
Marina took two bites. She was surprised that how could Ryder eat so fast. It was not a good habit.
“I’m used to eating very fast. I don’t want to waste my time on it.”
Ryder explained but he refused to admit that he ate so fast because the food was too delicious.
“But this is not good for your stomach. No matter how busy you are, you have to take your time after work, right? Your employees don’t work every day?”
Marina said to Ryder. She thought in such a big company, he must hire many employees. How could he be so busy?
A good employee was an extremely important help for the boss.
“No. But I only trust Kenny.”
Ryder nodded. In the Langdon Group, except for Kenny who was his man, he did not believe anyone.
Although there were many people who wanted to work for him, he never trust them. He admitted that he was suspicious.
“Mr. William has nothing to do every day. He spends most of his time staying with Jane.”
Ryder was a quiet man but today he talked a little much. So Marina would like to keep chatting with him.
How could William, who was also the president of a listed company, have at least half a day to accompany his wife every day? He seemed never worried about the operation of his company.
“Are you complaining that I haven’t spent enough time with you?”
Ryder put down his chopsticks and asked directly.
“No … I’m not.”
Marina was embarrassed. She should not have talked too much. She realized she had made a mistake.
“I didn’t mean it that way. I was just curious.”
Marina found that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. So she simply looked down at her bowl and stopped talking about it.
“What you said makes sense. In the past few years of our marriage, I ignored you.”
Ryder nodded thoughtfully. He was now a little interested in this woman and did not want to follow the original plan.
Life has no routine. It was changeable.
Ryder would like to make a new plan for his life.
Marina didn’t know what Ryder was thinking. Otherwise, she would regret talking too much in front of him just now.
“I know you have problems with your stomach. Don’t eat too much meat. Just eat more vegetables.”
Marina made stir-fried broccoli. The taste was light but good. But Ryder didn’t try it.
It turned out that the man did not like to eat vegetables. So did Nicole.
“Nicole is eating vegetables now. How can you only eat meat?”
Marina picked up some broccoli for Ryder and looked at his frowning eyebrows.
After hesitating for a long time, Ryder finally picked up a piece of broccoli and ate it.
He didn’t like to eat vegetables, and he had to have meat for every meal. No one knew how hard his life was when he was a child. He had no meat to eat because his mother had to save money and spend it on her own dressing.
Ryder could not understand what the meaning of his existence was. He had thought about this question for many years.
Although he grew up, his habits did not change. He still liked eating meat.
“Only the meals contained both meat and vegetables are nutritionally balanced. You are so busy that you need nourishment to stay strong.”
Even if they were to divorce, Ryder would still be Nicole’s daddy. It was an unchangeable fact.
Marina tried persuading Ryder to eat more vegetables in the way she treated Nicole.
Ryder was still in a daze, involuntarily eating several kinds of vegetables. He felt a little uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry. You are just not used to this. In the first few days, I used spinach juice and carrot juice to make noodles for Nicole.”
In this way, it was tantamount to eating vegetables so Nicole could get enough nutrition.
Ryder nodded hesitantly and did not speak. It seemed that the vegetables in front of him were not that bad.
After a meal, they had eaten all the dishes.
Marina went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Ryder’s phone rang. He picked it up for a long time with his eyebrows frowned.
“It’s past the evening rush hour. I can go back by myself.”
Marina had no idea who called him. She just thought he would be busy, so she was going to leave. Otherwise, she didn’t know how to get along with him at night.
Marina didn’t think after eating a meal with Ryder, they were reconciled now.
She knew he would not change easily.
“Don’t you want to know what happened?”
Ryder took a deep breath and said, “Shawn was in a car accident on his way to Mount Flave.”
Marina was dumbfounded. Her brother got in a car accident. How was it possible?
In the original book, there was no such plot at all. Shawn was going back to the company. Why would he go to the remote Mount Flave?
“Probably he goes to see Maeve, because she is the last one that gets in touch with him.”
With that, Ryder rubbed the space between his eyebrows.
Shawn had a serious car accident. The police found that the brake clip had been tampered with, so it was not working.
This was Ryder’s car, so the person behind it was targeting him. Unfortunately Shawn rather than he suffered this. Ryder did not know how to explain it to Marina.
“My brother, how did he get into a car accident? Did two cars crash together?”
Marina was shaking. She took a deep breath and wanted to keep calm.
“No, the brake failed. His car crashed into a mountain.”
Ryder did not hide the truth. This was all his fault. If he did not lend Shawn his car, this would not have happened.
“It is not your fault.”
“It is not your fault,” Marina said firmly.
She was a reasonable person. The brake was broken. So anyone who drove the car would get into trouble.
Marina was sure that it was not Ryder who broke the car brake.
