Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

487 A Strange Woman

Ryan frowned, put his hands in his pockets, and glanced at her as if she was ani***t. Julia quickly realized she had said something stupid, so she explained, "I mean, even though we believe Anna, we can't convince the court. To prove her innocence, we'll have to provide evidence."

Ryan nodded, then grinned cunningly and said, "I have the evidence here.”

"What?" Julia couldn't believe his words and moved closer to him.

Ryan didn't explain anything. He put his hands in his pockets, shrugged and said, "I only need your help with one thing. Do you want to have dinner now?"

"Huh?" Julia asked, not understanding what he meant. Before she could respond, Ryan had stopped a cab and told her to get in. He mentioned the name of a French restaurant, and the car abruptly changed direction

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ryan looked out of the window with a sorrowful expression. Meanwhile, Julia didn't know what was going on or what to do. She leaned closer to him and said, "Can't we just sit here and talk? I'm not particularly hungry."

Still staring out of the window, Ryan didn't seem interested in talking to her. After a while, the car stopped in front of a posh French restaurant. Julia followed Ryan and walked into the restaurant, feeling confused.

After entering the restaurant, Ryan sat at the table in the center of the restaurant and ordered a few of his favorite dishes without looking at the menu.

Julia was not in the mood for food: she asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Ryan sipped his lemonade and took a look around. As he set his glass aside, he said slowly, "I'm starving. Let's talk about it after we finish our meals, shall we?"

Julia frowned, wondering what he would do. Her stomach growled as she looked at the delicious dishes after they were served, which embarrassed her. She sniffed and said, "What a familiar smell," with a frown

"You mean the steak?" Ryan asked, raising his brows.

"No. I smelled the familiar perfume," Julia immediately replied, /’ve smelled this strange perfume somewhere before. But where? Thinking of that, Julia looked at Ryan, perplexed.

“Humph,” Ryan raised an eyebrow. He pushed a flash drive in front of her after finishing the last bite of pasta on his plate. Then he uttered ina serious tone, "This is the only proof | found that can prove Anna is not a murderer. | didn't dare to make more than one backup because | was afraid someone would steal it. So, I'd like you to keep a backup.”

"You just suspected me of being a bad guy's accomplice! Why do you want to give me such vital evidence now?" Julia asked, then opened her mouth wide in surprise.

Ryan looked at her strange actions with indifference, aware that the people at the next table were watching them. He then said frankly, "I was just testing you! Now I'm certain you're not an accomplice to the criminal.” You're too stupid to be a criminal, anyways. He thought to himselt.
