Housewife Gone Wild

“If you know that, then why are you still so determined to be with her?” Edward’s voice grew a little sharper.

Ryan shot me a quick glance, saw how tense I was, and reached under the table to grip my cold fingers.

“Uncle Edward, everyone has to take a leap at least once in their life, right? Otherwise, we’ll just end up with regrets,” Ryan said, sounding bold and sure of himself.

If only we could set aside emotions and just talk business, life would be so much simpler.

But it was exactly because Ryan liked me that we ended up in this mess tonight.

It was like the cornerstone at the very bottom–if things ever fell apart between Ryan and me, and that foundation was pulled out, the whole castle we’d built together would be on the verge of collapse.
