I looked at the sky. Has the sun risen from the Stain?
“No need.” I immediately refused.
Ryder’s face was already grim, and hearing my rejection made it even more unpleasant. “It’s not
easy to get a taxi here. Why would you let the child endure the cold wind with you?”
I obviously won’t stand here enduring the cold wind. I had driven here. But it wouldn’t be safe to 1
Eva sleep on the car seat at will. Considering this, I finally stopped and followed Ryder into his car
I noticed the wound on Ryder’s hand, and when he was about to open the car door for me, I stoppe
him. “Why don’t we switch places? You help me hold Eva in the back.”
“You know how to drive?” Surprise showed on Ryder’s face.
I didn’t just “know” how to drive. After four years in the Stain family, Ryder didn’t even know that I could drive, which was enough to show how little attention he paid to me. I didn’t say much, just nodded and took the keys from him.
Ryder didn’t say anything and got into the car. When I handed Eva to him, he was completely
awkward.
“Holding her head is enough.”
Ryder raised his arms a bit higher, supporting the little head against his chest. He didn’t dare to move. When he looked down and saw the rosy face of the child leaning against his chest, with her hair flowing, a soft sensation passed through his heart.
I remained silent, got into the car, and skillfully started the engine. Not wanting Ryder to know my location, I drove to a convenient spot to call a taxi and then stopped. “We’re here, thank you.”
After saying that, I hugged Eva from his arms and walked away.
“Hannah!”
From behind, Ryder called my name. “I owe Eva, and I will make it up to her, but my child will never need someone else as a father, that’s for sure!”
“I’m really curious, how will Mr. Ryder make it up to Eva?” I stopped and half–smiling, looked at him.

“Tomorrow I will have our divorce quashed, you move back to the stain house, and I will try to spend as much time as possible with Eva.”
“Annulment of divorce?” Ryder said this, and I was quite surprised. “Mr.Stain made this decision, does Miss Willis agree?”
“Why would she agree?” Just confronting me, Ryder’s tone becomes rather impatient.
“You two are engaged, this is the least respect for your fiancée.”
When I got to kindergarten, Cathy showed me a picture of Ryder at their engagement.
It is also because of that photo that parents all think that Cathy is Ryder’s legitimate wife.
“Huh? Engaging?” Ryder was obviously surprised, but he didn’t bother much and said, “Just follow my instructions, you don’t need to worry about anything else!”
I have long been used to Ryder’s arrogance. I didn’t get angry but tilted my head. “Then I have a question that you might care more about. Does Mr.Stain want to cancel the divorce decision because you love me?”
“All I’m doing is to give my child a complete family!” Ryder didn’t think much and threw out a warning.
“Just that?”
I burst into laughter in front of him.
“Do you really think having both parents is the best way for a child’s comprehensive development?”
“You’ve never experienced growing up in an incomplete family, so how would you know this type of family is not good?”
“Since I was young, I didn’t have a mother. My father raised me alone, but I’ve never felt pitiful.”
“He gave me all his love and only asked one thing from me, which is to live happily.”
“But our marriage has lasted for four years. Now Eva is three years old. Let me ask, has the little one been happy in the past three years?”
“She’s afraid that you’re not happy, afraid that your mother is not happy, afraid that your younger

sister is not happy, afraid of upsetting me, and she’s even afraid that I won’t be happy.”
To avoid making others unhappy, she tried her best to behave well and obediently to the extent t she didn’t dare to perform her favorite dances!”
“Do you still want her to stay in such a dull environment? Do you want to drive her insane?”
Upon hearing this, I couldn’t help but choke up.
*All of these things can change,” Ryder didn’t think it was a big deal.
“What if they change? It’s undeniable that you don’t love me. How will Eva feel in the future? She might think that it’s because of her existence that we are bound to each other. She’ll think she’s to
blame!”
Ryder: “…
Before I mentioned this, he thought it was the best way to make it up to Eva.
“Ryder, don’t worry, I will take good care of Eva.”
His arm was hurting from holding Eva for too long, and he lowered his head and walked away.
Third–person perspective
Ryder didn’t go home but headed to Cathy’s place.
Seeing Ryder, Cathy’s eyes lit up, and she jumped up, “Ryder, you’re here, come in.”
Ryder didn’t budge, just placed his phone in front of her, “Quickly delete this photo.”
Cathy looked down and saw the post on her social media alluding to her engagement.
“I’m really sorry, Ryder. I just missed the old days, found this picture, and felt happy, so I posted it.”
She hurriedly explained while secretly observing Ryder’s expression.
*Remembering it reminds me, it’s all Hannah’s fault. If she hadn’t spoken too quickly and made me unable to get on stage, we wouldn’t have broken up…”
“The matter between you and me has never had anything to do with Hannah.” Ryder coldly

reminded.
Tonight, he didn’t want to hear that name again.
“Besides, we broke up long ago. Now we’re just friends.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked outside.
Behind him, Cathy tightly clenched her fingers, her beautiful face contorting.
Upon returning, she didn’t mention anything about their relationship but silently plotted, waiting f‹
the results.
She thought they both had the same plan, but now it’s clear that Ryder wants to clarify things
between them.
Could it be that Hannah set a trap?
As she was pondering, her phone suddenly rang.
Cathy was annoyed, but she still answered the call.
A slow and deliberate voice came from the other end, “Do you know what interesting thing I heard
just now? Ryder, with his cold demeanor, is now requesting his ex–wife to cancel the divorce application.”
“Because of the feelings we’ve had for years, let me remind you, this time, don’t let your man slip away again, okay?”
