Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 470

Ryan stepped out onto the street and flagged down a cab; he hadn't driven himself today. Once inside, he checked his phone. He had just left the guest room when a text came in.

"The clues about that man can be found if you return home."

Ryan didn't even need to reply to know who it was about—Clara's mysterious boyfriend. He wasn't a fan of this so-called boyfriend, so he was set on finding proof to help Clara break things off sooner rather than later.

He was a bit annoyed with her earlier actions, but seeing her fighting sleep to wait for him softened his mood, so he held back from saying anything harsh.
