After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 540

Sophia, who had been teasing Aiden just a moment ago, was completely stunned when she saw Ryan.

I made the introductions, and Aiden immediately grinned. “Mom and Dad said you were dating a younger guy. I didn’t buy it before, but now I totally do.”

Ryan politely greeted Aiden.

Aiden was super curious about what Ryan did for a living, and Ryan just said he worked at the Ministry. of Foreign Affairs and was a native of Braylin. Aiden kept giving me these looks, like he was silently asking if I was just blinded by Ryan’s looks. Even with a respectable job and Braylin residency, he still couldn’t measure up to Jared in my brother’s eyes.

Sophia was clearly stunned by Ryan’s appearance. He wore a crisp white shirt that made him look fresh and bright, and with his tall build and strikingly handsome features, he was honestly from a whole different world compared to Aiden. My brother was good–looking, sure, but next to Ryan, it was like they weren’t even playing the same game.

The vibe during dinner was pretty good, but I couldn’t help but notice Sophia had gotten a lot quieter.

Whenever Aiden tried to serve her some food, she seemed a bit impatient, insisting she couldn’t eat anymore and kept putting the food right back onto his plate.

Worried about my brother’s relationship, I kept a close watch on Sophia’s attitude, just in case.

At that moment, I couldn’t help but feel like Aiden was acting a little too humble, while Sophia was being pretty moody.

“Ryan, can I add you on Instagram? You never know, we might end up working together someday,” Sophia asked as things were winding down.

Ryan glanced at me and said, “Sorry, I don’t just add people on Instagram. If you need to reach me, you can go through Vic.”

Sophia shot me a look, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Victoria, you really keep your boyfriend on a short leash, huh? Not even letting him add people on Instagram?”

I just laughed. “It’s not me stopping him–he just doesn’t want to add anyone.”

Sophia flashed a sly smile and said, “Well, Ryan could never keep up with you, Victoria. He’s so much younger–no wonder you keep such a tight leash on him. Makes sense.”

I caught her trying to stir the pot right away, and my opinion of Sophia dropped even lower.
