Becoming Strangers Again by Lily

Chapter 152

RYAN

I am due to return to New York today, but there is something that I need to handle, something that needs to get done.

Lily offered to drive me to the airport, but I declined the offer. I gave her the excuse that she should stay back with the boys at home, so they won't cry or have moody feelings about me leaving.

She bought my excuse and kissed me goodbye before I got into the car. A few days ago, I had some of my men look into Amell. They provided his home address for me, which is why I am headed to his house, instead of the airport, hoping to meet him at home. Pulling over outside his gate, my driver got out of the car and rang the bell. Fe minutes later, I saw his door open, thanks to how low his fence was and the construction of his gate.

He paused at the sight of cars parked outside his gate. Rolling his wheelchair, he made his way over to the gate, pushed it open, and rolled out.

I watched him through the tinted glass as he interacted with my security who gestured towards the car. Amell frowned at something my security said and shook his head.

Jerry gave him a nod before approaching my car. I wined down the glass for him. "what's going on?"

"He refuses to move beyond the range his camera can capture," Jerry informed me.

I don't have a problem with that. I am not here to fight him. Reaching for the handle, I pushed the door open and stepped out.

Amell stared at me with a deadpan expression. "For you to have known where I live, I am certain you have heard about the fact that I was involved in an accident and have been bound to a wheelchair for one week, yet you remain in your car, expecting a man with no functional legs to meet you."

"I am not the cause of your affliction." I deadpanned, "Don't expect me to bend over for it."
