Chapter 270: We Live Together Now

Ryan stared at Jeffrey.

The night was dark.The streetlight in the parking lot created a white halo that seemed to taint the night
air with frost.

Under the imposing light, Jeffrey's whole body shivered.

"Uncle Ryan..."

In spite of the pressure, Jeffrey didn't shrink back.He reached out his hand and said, "Let me take
Wendy home."

"You just drank wine," said Ryan.

"There's no need for you to worry.I've asked the restaurant to find a designated driver."

Ryan's eyes became cold as he stared at Jeffrey.But Jeffrey put on an act of bravado and didn't give in.

The two reached a stalemate in front of the car.

"Hmm..."

Wendy murmured, trembling form the cold, her eyes tightly shut.

"Just get out of my way!"said Ryan impatiently, worrying that Wendy would catch a cold.

Jeffrey stood still, his body erect.He then spoke with conviction.

"Uncle Ryan, you should know that I like Wendy!"

Ryan knew that Jeffrey had more that he wanted to tell him.So he removed his coat and placed it over
Wendy, covering her arms and torso.



As she felt much warmer, she nestled herself in his arms, made herself very comfortable and fell sound
asleep.

Jeffrey's eyes blazed with anger.

‘Heck! You senseless woman! Don't you know that you should drink less? You don't realize how others
take advantage of you when you are drunk! Damn it! You can't let your guard down.Wake up and beat
him to a pulp!’ However, this was Jeffrey's wishful thinking.

"Uncle Ryan, I have known Wendy for a long time.It was love at first sight for me when I saw her in the
US Ryan interrupted him.

"That's exactly what you said about all your previous romances.Am I expected to take your words
seriously?"

"This time it is different.I swear!" Jeffrey yelled.

"Oh?"

Ryan hinted at him to continue with a more convincing argument.

"In the past, my relationships didn't last long but this time I'm in love with the same person for such a
long time.This is really serious.The only reason I asked Wendy out today was to confess my love for
her.If she reciprocates my feelings, then I will marry her." Ryan listened silently.

After a while, he asked, "Have you finished?"

Jeffrey was both frustrated and annoyed.

"Uncle Ryan, what do you want?"

"I want Wendy!"



Jeffrey was aghast as Ryan's words echoed in his mind. He raised his head and saw Ryan looking at
Wendy with affection.He was well known for being a cold, aloof man, but here he was, staring at her
with such gentle, warm eyes.

Before Jeffrey's very shocked eyes, Ryan kissed Wendy on the lips.

Jeffrey was so appalled that he couldn't even utter a sound.

"Do you understand now?" Jeffrey was completely awestruck.

‘He had the nerve to kiss her in front of me! He is treating her like his possession!’

"Uncle Ryan, I knew Wendy first.

How could you do this to me?"

"It doesn't matter who met her first."

"You-"

"Moreover, if you must know, I met her first," Ryan added.

‘What? You met her first? Are you kidding me?' Jeffrey refused to believe it at all.

Just as he was about to argue with Ryan, he heard Ryan say, "Bruce, Precious and Ray are twins!"

Boom! Something exploded in Jeffrey's mind.

Jeffrey was stunned.His eyes widened in disbelief.

"You heard right.Precious and Ray are twins.They are my and Wendy's children!" Ryan emphasized.

"How is that possible?" asked Jeffrey in disbelief.



Ryan was well-prepared.He silently took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Jeffrey.

"Here.Read it for yourself."

Jeffrey grabbed the paper with trembling hands, opened it and was completely stunned as he read the
contents.It was a paternity test report between Ryan and Raymond.

The result clearly stated that Ryan was Raymond's biological father.

As if a snowball had been pelted at him, Jeffrey froze in place.

‘Ray and Precious are Uncle Ryan and Wendy's children.So, Ray is my cousin.And Wendy is likely to
become my aunt"

"How is it be possible? I don't believe it!"

Jeffrey was experiencing a roller coaster of emotions and eventually lost control.

"If you don't believe me, you can question her after she sobers up.She has always regarded you as a
good friend.If you ask her, she will definitely reveal the truth to you,"added Ryan.

‘A good friend.Is that all I mean to her?’ Jeffrey's heart shattered into a thousand pieces.

"Can you just get out of the way now?" Ryan asked, hiding a triumphant smile.

"No way!" Jeffrey was not going to give up.

"I invited her out today. No matter what, I will be the one to take her home."

He wanted to drop off Wendy in person.He would wait there till she sobered up, and then ask about it.

"Uncle Ryan, you'd better leave her to me."



But Ryan still held Wendy tightly and had no intention of conceding to Jeffrey's request.

"Uncle Ryan—"

"For your information, she doesn't live in Ensfield anymore."

"What?"

"We live together now!" Ryan said.

He and Wendy lived in the ward of the hospital every day because it was convenient to do so.

Although they couldn't see Raymond, they were able to receive prompt updates about his condition
from the doctor.

He and Wendy stayed in the same room every night.

So what he said about them living together was not far from the truth.

A little white lie could not hurt.

As for what Bruce thought, that was his own business.

As expected, upon hearing that, Jeffrey's face changed dramatically.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

In the moonlight, his face looked paler.

There was only one thought in his mind.



‘They live together.No wonder the security guards of Ensfield said that Wendy has not been staying at
that residence in a while, and Ryan has not been to his house in Ensfield either.It turns out they are
living together"

"Bruce, although I'm your uncle, we grew up together.You should know me well by now."

Of course he knew Ryan well.

Even in his childhood, Ryan was a cold, distant person.There were very few people or things that he
really cared about.

But once he liked something, he would get it at all costs.

And now, Ryan was in love with Wendy, so there was no way that he would give up on her.

Jeffrey's silence spoke volumes.He was so visibly upset and shaken that he didn't resist when Ryan
pushed him aside.

Ryan opened the door of the passenger seat and gently helped Wendy slide into the seat.

Then, he reclined the seat so that she could lie down comfortably.He then fastened her seat belt to
ensure that she was well-protected.

Jeffrey was dumbfounded when he saw how lovingly Ryan handled the drunk Wendy.He had never
seen Ryan being so attentive to any woman before.

This was not the Ryan he knew.

He stared at the paternity test report and remained transfixed in the spot for a long time.

He watched as Ryan closed the door, went around to the driver's seat, started the engine and drove
away.



Within seconds, the car was turning a corner.

Jeffrey coughed and almost choked as he was left behind to swallow the exhaust fumes of the car.

The fumes almost drove him to tears.He thought about the recent developments in his life and cursed
his string of misfortunes.

It started with the mishaps with the shooting; then his father fell sick.

Later, he was forced to go to the US and lost all contact with Wendy.

As soon as he returned, he wanted to confess his love to her.

But it turned out in vain.

All of a sudden, Jeffrey figured something out.He roared and ran forward, only to see the car
disappearing.He stamped his feet, pointed in the direction of the car and cursed out aloud.He was like
a raging bull.

"Damn! Ryan, you are the most despicable, insidious and cunning man to ever walk this earth!"
