“You have such low standards for men. If I were you, I wouldn’t accept any man with evil thoughts.”
Ryder held Marina in his arms. After he had the intention, he was in a dangerous situation. People always thought about what they couldn’t get because they thought it was the best.
“What about you?”
Marina asked casually. She had never heard him mention that he liked anyone.
In Ryder’s toughest days, any beautiful woman could have been the love of his life.
That kind of feeling was similar to direction and redemption, but Marina had never heard Ryder talk about it.
“No. I only felt that woman belonged to me when I got her. So I don’t have any evil intentions.”
Ryder blew air next to Marina’s ear and kissed her hair. He hadn’t made love with her in a long time. Every night, she slept deeply beside him. It was torture for him, so he couldn’t let her escape tonight.
“It’s been three months, so you need to fulfill your wifely duties. Don’t worry. I will be gentle.”
After that, he pushed Marina onto the bed and pressed her down. Ryder was afraid of hurting the baby in her belly, so he was gentle.
“Do you have a wish?”
Ryder asked her softly. As a man, he should satisfy all the material or spiritual needs of his wife.
Of course, they would never divorce. She could never escape him.
“I have a wish, but if I say it, will it come true?”
Marina wanted to say something but hesitated. This was the same as a birthday wish. She made a wish and then silently put it in her heart. She did not tell anyone and looked forward to the wish coming true. If it came true, she would tell her friends to share the joy. If it could not be realized, she would not be disappointed. It was just a wish.
“No. If you say it, it will come true.”
Every word was clear, so she couldn’t even doubt him. He had said he would do anything for her.
…
Marina seemed to have a dream. In the dream, she was as passionate as fire. When she got up, she found that all the sheets in the house had been changed. She knew that everything that happened last night was true.
Fortunately, she didn’t see Ryder when she woke up. Otherwise, she didn’t know how to face him. She was so passionate last night, so this was really awkward.
The maids at home had already started to prepare for the New Year. Markus called and asked them to go to the White family’s mansion on the hill.
“Marina, it was just me and your brother on New Year’s Eve before. This year is different. We can get together.”
Shawn was going to get engaged to Lola, so Markus was satisfied. After the birth of his grandchildren, the house would be filled with a lively atmosphere.
Old people would always feel lonely. Markus did not ask for anything.
In the past, Marina was controlled and underappreciated by the Langdon family. Shawn had many scandals with actresses. So Markus was worried.
There were twists and turns, but fortunately the outcome was good.
“Dad, we’ll definitely be there early that day. Ryder isn’t too busy, so we’ll stay a few more days.”
After the New Year, she still had to deal with Mark and Maeve. Marina decided to spend this rare free time with her family.
Moreover, she also invited Jane and her family. More people could have more fun.
Since Mary was gone, Marina wanted to do her best to make Markus happy.
They talked for a while and hung up. After that, Ryder called.
“Why have you been talking to someone else for so long?”
On the phone, Ryder sounded a little irritated. He had deliberately postponed the meeting to wait for Marina to get up.
“It’s a call from Dad. He specifically told us to go back early for the New Year.”
Marina smiled. The tone of Ryder’s voice shocked her a little. Sometimes she thought, was it because she had given him a blood transfusion that he had fallen hopelessly in love with her?
“Okay. You must be very tired today. Get some more sleep. I’ll be back early in the evening and I want to take you to a place.”
Ryder mentioned last night, which made Marina blush. She covered her face with her hands, wondering why she couldn’t bear it!
“Where are we going?”
Marina was curious. He didn’t say they were going out for the night when he left this morning. Was it a sudden decision?
“This is a secret. We’ll find out at night. Oh, we’re not taking Nicole with us.”
Ryder told Marina to rest and hung up the phone.
He said they wouldn’t take their daughter on this trip out. What was his secret? Marina had to leave Nicole at home to watch TV. In addition, she had Nicole make a video call to Dayton.
“Mommy, are you going out with Daddy? Are you going to leave me at home?”
At first, Nicole was reluctant. When she heard that she could have a video call with Dayton, Nicole immediately changed her attitude. “Okay. I love talking to Dayton.”
Marina was speechless.
…
When she woke up, it was already 6:00 p. m. By now, it was already black outside.
At 6:30 p. m., Marina’s phone rang on time. “Come out. I’m at the door.”
Marina hung up the phone. She put on her hat, scarf and mask, and then she slowly walked out.
Ryder chose the Porsche Cayenne. When he saw his wife, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her.
“Where are we going? Now you can tell me.”
Marina blinked her eyes and was confused. She was puzzled by Ryder’s words.
Ryder didn’t seem to have much work these days. Could he be broke?
“We’re going on a date.”
They had known each other for a long time. Although they were married, they had only been on one date and it was to take their daughter to an amusement park. He was so busy with work that he often neglected Marina. So, Ryder wanted to make up for it.
Kenny was off work today, so it occurred to Ryder that he could go out on a date with Marina.
Kenny had a girlfriend. He seldom took leave before, but he suddenly asked Ryder for leave today, which surprised Ryder.
Women loved dates and romantic candlelit dinners. Whether they were young couples in love or married for many years, they always needed to have a little sense of etiquette to make each other feel that they were important.
Ryder suddenly realized how careless he was. It just so happened that there was a funny movie that was released tonight. He called the cinema and booked the whole theatre in advance to give her a surprise.
“Okay.”
Marina guessed what he wanted to do. Ryder would have taken her to a fancy restaurant with not many people for a candlelit dinner. That was his way of dating her.
After all, Ryder was so old-fashioned that he didn’t seem to be keen on a boring date.
