Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 99~ Leaked

"A trial period?" Freya Davis asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ryan nodded and replied, "Yes, Ma'am. I know nothing I say right now will make you change your mind about me. So, I'll show you that I'll make your daughter the happiest woman in the world." "And you only need thirty days to do that?" Freya questioned. "What if you're just pretending in that thirty days?"

"I can never pretend with Lora... I love her. I may have realised too late that she was very important to me, but I'll make it up to her for the rest of her life," Ryan proclaimed.

Freya sighed, her brows creasing. She looked at Ryan and studied him intently before her gaze softened ever so slightly.

"I see," she remarked. "Since you're offering thirty days to prove that you're worthy of my daughter, I'll give you a chance."

Ryan's eyes lit up but before he could respond, Freya added, "But... If you fail to make Lora happy or if you hurt her again, I want you to leave her alone forever and never bother her again."

Ryan gulped, his heart pounding. He nodded confidently and said, "I'll make sure she's happier than ever... I'll never leave her alone, so I have no choice but to do all I can to put a smile on her beautiful face." Freya got to her feet but before she could leave, she glanced at Ryan and uttered, "I'll be watching you."

When Ryan went back to the main living room, he found Lora anxiously waiting for him.

She glanced at him and asked, "What did she say?"

"It's a secret," Ryan replied and Lora arched an eyebrow.

"Seriously?" Lora remarked.

"Yes... it's a secret. But for now, she's given me a chance, so I have to make the best of it," Ryan said.

Lora squinted her eyes at Ryan. However, since he didn't want to disclose what he had talked about with her mother, she had no choice but to change the subject.
