Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 98~ Trial period

"I can't wait to have you and our children home, baby. I hate having to drop you off," Ryan said after they got out of the car when they arrived at the Davis mansion. He sighed and added, "Being a gentleman is hard."

Ryan walked Lora to the patio of the mansion and coiled his arm around her waist, pulling her close.

"I wish you stayed with me tonight," he remarked in his sexy husky voice.

Lora smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him.

"I know but... I have to tell Mom and Dad about our reconciliation first. Dad may have said that he won't interfere but Mom won't be so easy to convince," she replied. Ryan sighed again before saying, "I know. I noticed her reluctance to accept me last time. But I'll do my best to win her over... if it means I have to eat a hundred chillies-" "Don't even think about it, Mr Kingsley!" Lora scolded. "Try another way... not one that will put you in harm's way."

"Are you worried about me?" Ryan asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Of course I am... you're the father of my children," Lora stated.

"And you love me?" Ryan asked hopefully.

However, Lora didn't reply to that. She smiled and said, "Nice plan, Mr Kingsley. Trying to get me to say those three words, huh?"

Ryan let out a low chuckle. He cupped Lora's left cheek and remarked, "Don't worry... I'm patient. I'll wait until you can comfortably say those magical words back to me. I love you so much."

He lowered his head and connected his lips to hers, kissing her deeply. Lora melted into that kiss, responding to it with equal intensity and passion.
