My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 290: Another Chance

Ryan was the one driving the car, and Wendy was in the passenger seat.They did not talk along theway, making the car ride extremely quiet.

As the silence was becoming more unbearable by the minute, Wendy decided to turn the music on.

Now, the atmosphere was so much better.She could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Being with Ryan was so stressful.‘Damn it.

Why do I feel so tense when I'm with him?’ Unfortunately for Wendy, there was nothing she could dobut look at the road ahead.

The traffic lights turned red.

The timer showed that the lights would turn green in 60 seconds.

At that moment, Ryan stepped on the breaks and turned to face Wendy, which made her heart skip abeat.

"Let's talk."

Wendy swallowed hard and wondered, ‘Talk? What does he want to talk about?’ "Are you going to belike this with me forever?" Ryan asked without beating around the bush.

Wendy was taken aback by his question.She had no idea how to answer that.

Because of this, she just lowered her head and said nothing.

‘What else I can do? “ she thought.

"Before Ray's accident, you promised me that you'd give me your answer after seven days.But then,many things happened unexpectedly.Ray had to go through surgery we found out he and Precious areour children.We were in shock.But it's been so long.Have you made up your mind? Can you give meyour answer now?"

"Answer?"

"What? Aren't you going to give me a reply? Are you just planning to leave me hanging like this?" Ryanasked.

‘What?! Leave him hanging?Wendy was at a loss for words.She stared daggers at him and retorted,"Ryan, watch your words! I've never left you hanging!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"If that's the case, when are you going to give me an answer then?" Ryan asked while looking into hereyes.

Wendy got her hackles up upon hearing his question.

"You want an answer? Fine.I'll give you one right now!"

However, Ryan stopped her.

"Not now." Wendy frowned in confusion.

"Why?"

"You're too worked up right now."Wendy was speechless.

All of a sudden, the red traffic lights turned green.

Ryan started the car and sped away.

"You're going to stay with the crew for two weeks.I want you to think about it while you're there.I'll waitfor you until you come back.You can give me the answer by then," Ryan said with his gaze fixed on theroad ahead.

Wendy lowered her eyes and frowned.

She did not know why, but she had always disliked his calm demeanor.

It made her feel that no matter how hard she pushed him away, he was certain she would come back tohim in the end.While gritting her teeth, Wendy turned her face away and looked out of the window,ignoring him.

She was pissed.

‘With that attitude, he wants me to give him an answer? No way! However, Ryan was not as calm as heseemed.His hands that were on the steering wheel were actually sweaty.But he had to say that.One ofthem must take the initiative.Otherwise, their relationship would become colder, and they would driftaway from each other.

"Wendy, I hope you consider our relationship seriously," he added.

Upon hearing this, Wendy bit her lower lip and turned to face him.

"I have a question."

"Tell me."

"Well, this is just a scenario.What if I'm not Precious’ mother, you're not Ray's father, and Precious’mother shows up? Will you still want my answer?" Ryan frowned and pondered for a while.

‘What is on her mind? There is no what if.She's still Precious' mother, and I'm Ray's father.What'smore, what does this have to do with her answer?” Ryan was lost in thought, so he did not reply rightaway.

But to Wendy, his silence meant something elseHer face suddenly changed.

A bitter smile twisted her usually amiable expression.

"You don't have to answer me.I already know." Ryan frowned in bewilderment.

‘What did she figure out? Without another word, Wendy crossed her arms and leaned against the carwindow.It was a defensive posture.This meant that she did not want to talk to him anymore.Suddenly,Ryan let go of the steering wheel.Wendy's eyes widened in horror upon seeing this

‘What the fuck?! Is he trying to get both of us killed?’ To her surprise, even though Ryan's hands wereno longer on the steering wheel, the car still ran smoothly.

It was as though it knew how to drive itself.

"What the..." Wendy exclaimed.

"The car is equipped with a self-driving system," Ryan explained.

‘Wow! This is a self-driving car? It's so dope!’ Wendy was still in a state of shock when Ryan held herhand.

It was only then that she came to her senses.She tried to withdraw her hand.

However, he held it even tighter.novelbin

"Just say what you want to say.You don't have to do this."

"Then, what should I do instead?" Ryan retorted with a smile.

"Talk!" Wendy fired back.

‘What else should he do? This man is so strange today!’

"Talk..." Ryan murmured to himself.

In a swift motion, he held the back of Wendy's head with one hand and her face with the other.

Wendy froze in her seat.She was dumbfounded.

It seemed that Ryan was dissatisfied with just holding hands.

He sucked on her lips, which made her face flush.He was extremely gentle and did not use muchstrength Wendy could push him away if she tried.

But for some reason, she could not move as though she had been bewitched.It was like there was aflame.It started from their lips and spread to their bodies.It was only after a moment that Ryan let go ofWendy.

He was catching his breath, and sweat seemed to have broken out on his forehead.

In all honesty, he did not want to break the kiss.

But he realized that he might not be able to control his burning desire if this went on.

Their foreheads touched as they regained their composure.At that moment, a smile flashed in Ryan'seyes.

"Talk...like this?" he asked, his voice hoarse yet foxy.

"You jerk!" Wendy pushed him away, wiped her mouth, and cursed at him out of anger andembarrassment.

"How dare you?! I..."

She was really pissed off.She was so mad that her heart was pounding wildly in her chest.

That was not what she meant when she demanded him to "talk."

‘Damn it! How dare he kiss me?!’ Truth be told, that was not what made her so worked up.

It was the fact that she was so immersed in his kiss and that she did not push him away when shecould have.

Wendy's face turned red in shame.How she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

‘Argh! I'm so stupid!She was even more infuriated when she lifted her gaze and saw Ryan's handsomeface.

She could not help but grit her teeth in frustration.

But then, she must admit, she impressed at herself for resisting this hot and attractive guy.

‘Shit! It's his fault for being too hot!”

"Wendy..." Ryan called.

"Don't talk to me.I don't want to talk to you anymore," Wendy snarled.

"Then, who do you want to talk to?"

"It's none of your business!" Ryan moved closer to her, and Wendy covered her mouth with her hand.

"What do you want?" she asked while looking at him warily.

"Don't worry.I'm not going to kiss you,"

Ryan assured her with a smile.

Wendy almost fell speechless.

"What do you want then?"

As soon as she said these words, she felt warmth all over her body.

Just as she was about to struggle, Ryan heaved a heavy sigh.

"Just let me hug.I haven't hugged you for a long time."

Wendy did not believe him and thought that he was only making a fool out of her.

"Let go of me!" she demanded through gritted teeth.

"Wendy, give me another chance. I want to pursue you”
