Edward’s expression turned grim. In the next moment, he snatched Ryan’s phone and got up, heading straight outside.

“Hey, Uncle Ryan, are you trying to embarrass me on purpose?” Ryan complained, clearly frustrated.

Edward didn’t bother sparing him any dignity and just walked out to take the call, leaving Ryan fuming.

When Ryan looked at me, there was a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Honestly, I really don’t want to get mixed up in their business. You just can’t force love.”

Ryan tried to get me to eat a bit more, but I was already full–and it was too late to eat any more anyway.

When Edward came back, he tossed the phone onto the table and said seriously, “Ryan, don’t go stirring up any more drama.”

Ryan looked genuinely puzzled. “Uncle Ryan, how is this my fault? You’re the one who gave her hope, not me.”

Edward’s face grew even darker, but he didn’t say another word.

Edward said coolly, “It wasn’t because of her. It was because of someone else.”

“Someone else?” Ryan arched an eyebrow, thinking. “Wait, don’t tell me it’s that lead dancer. Didn’t you two have dinner together before?”
