Jessica knew that Ryan was waiting for me.

She was the one asking for us to give her a ride, but she still sat in the passenger seat.

I really wanted to turn on my heels and leave, but reason told me to stay. I reached out my hand and said to Ryan, "Keys."

Ryan remained silent and just placed the keys in my hand.

I walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. I smiled as I looked at the surprised look on Jessica's face. "No problem at all. You're Ryan's sister, so it's normal for you to ask us to give you a lift."

After saying so, I looked at Ryan, who was still standing next to the car. "Get in. Grandpa is probably already waiting for us."

No one spoke throughout the journey.

It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Jessica wanted to talk to Ryan, but she didn't because she probably felt that it would seem a little awkward if she kept on turning around to talk to Ryan.

Ryan had probably sensed my unhappiness, so he opened a bottled drink and passed it to me. "Mango juice, your favorite."

I took a sip and then frowned a little before passing the drink back. "It's a little too sweet, you can have the rest."

I was into sour food recently. In the past, I would force myself to finish things that I didn't really like because I didn't want to waste any food.

However, that was not something I could do at that time.

"Okay," said Ryan and then took the bottle without question.

"I don't think it's appropriate to give him something that you've already drank, right? There are a lot of germs in the mouth. This is how the Helicobacter Pylori is passed around," Jessica said worriedly.

I couldn't help but smile. "According to what you're saying, the two of us sleeping together at night would be even more dangerous?"

We were all adults, so it was obvious that Jessica knew what I was talking about. "I didn't expect the two of you to still be so intimate after being married for so many years."

"Are you jealous?" Ryan asked coldly.

On occasions like this, Ryan's attitude towards Jessica would make me think that he didn't like the latter.

It seemed to be how the two of them interacted and they were used to it.

"So what if I am?" Jessica retorted.

"No one cares."

"Yeah, yeah." Jessica pouted her lips and a smile appeared on her face. "I wonder who was it that kept me company on his wedding night when he found out that I was hurt..." "Jessica Frost!" Ryan's face changed and his voice turned sharp.
