Mr Lopez couldn't look at Ryan after exploding in anger like that. Seems he's the one being overly emotional here. If only he could be as bold as Ryan to try to find out who killed his wife. If only he could…For all he cared, his friend could have been the one who killed his wife…but what will that lead to? He already lost his wife, should he lose the good memories he had with his friend too? Mr Lopez knew the dark secret. He knew Lucy mistakenly killed his wife (Lucy's wife) but was scared that Emmett would find out. Mr Lopez knew Lucy might have been the one who asked his wife to pretend to be Emmet's mother, but…Like hell, should she have done that after his warning for her not to do it? Should his wife have done that? “Where is Lucy now?” Ryan asked, interrupting his chain of thought.“He died last year,” Mr Lopez muttered.“I'm going to find out who killed Mom no matter what you say,” Ryan said and stormed out of the re

“I want to give you my reply,” Stephanie said at the other end.“Um, go ahead.” Ryan flipped through the book on the table.“I'll get married to you again.”“Congratulations. I'll withdraw the divorce suit from the court.”“Of course, I'm not expecting a fancy proposal but…well…anything you want.” Ryan glanced at Landon. He couldn't quite catch what Landon was whispering.“Anderson asked when I'd be getting married to him,” Stephanie said.“Just tell him I've withdrawn the divorce suit.”“Let's make a plan in case Anderson proposes to me. You can try to stop him because I feel somehow uneasy around him. You know what I'm talking about?” “Think of whatever we can do and let me know the part you want me to play.”“Alright.”Ryan ended the call.“Are you out of your mind?” Landon snapped at Ryan.“What?”“You're really getting married to Stephanie again?”

“Look, Presley, I don't know what he told you, but I'm not giving up on taking revenge on who killed Mom.”Presley cleared her throat and lowered her voice, “I'm not saying you shouldn't do whatever you want, but dad is fragile at heart. He gets really hurt when people around him are guilty of something.”Ryan frowned. “So?”“Don't you get it?” She tap her fist on the table. Ryan shook his head. “I don't know what you're talking about.”“Alright. I'm going to explain.” She took a glass of wine from a waitress walking around and took a sip.“Dad told you about your mom cheating on him?” Presley asked.Ryan's mouth opened slightly. Just how many people did his father tell that nonsense? For crying out loud, he shouldn't continue destroying his mother's reputation just because she can't come out from the grave and defend herself!“Don't worry, I am the only one dad told about it. It slipped from him after one frus

“Damn! Lewis, are you really drunk?” Brenda asked as Ryan dragged Lewis to his car.“Don't leave me…you know how much I love you? You still want to leave me? Why are you doing this to me?” Lewis burst into tears.“He's wasted,” Brenda said.“I'll drive him home,” Ryan suggested.“No. I'll,” Brenda said.“It's past twelve. How about you just go home? Unless you want to sleep in Lewis' house.” Brenda's face coloured considerably. “We are not at that stage yet.”“See? Just go with Presley.”“Me? Presley? That girl that doesn't know how to drive? Did you want me to die untimely?” “I wasn't going to allow you in my car in the first place,” Presley countered.“What do we do now? Unless you want to sleep on the street, you have no choice other than to risk going with Presley,” Ryan said.“I'll call you if I end up getting home. The moment I don't call you, just know she found the perfect wa

“What?”“Well…we can't be sure just yet. Maybe if you meet him, you'll find out for yourself, sir.” “Okay. Thank you.” Ryan ended the call. He sat on the bed.No, it should not be what he's thinking about.Could it be the reason why his father said his mother cheated on him? Could his mother have had another child outside marriage? No!Ryan shook his head. It can't be true. His mother couldn't have had an illegitimate child.He lay on the bed and tried to sleep. That is the only way he can communicate with his mother. If by any chance she comes in his dream, he'd ask her beforehand. God, he prayed, it shouldn't be true that his mother really cheated on his father.An hour later, sleep wasn't coming. Ryan got up from the bed and checked the time. Some minutes after three a.m. He opened his drawer and took a sleeping tablet. He swallowed it with water. Before he meets that guy tomor
