Chapter 148 A Kiss!

It was midnight.

A single room in a hotel, costing $150 per night.

"I'm going in for a hot bath. You...you better not peek!" Sarah cautioned Ryder.

Ryder quickly replied, "Don't worry, I'll give you privacy. But go ahead and warm up; you don't want to catch a cold from those wet clothes."

Sarah took off her soaking wet stockings and coat, and entered the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of showering resonated.

Ryder lay back on the bed, feeling a weight lifted off his heart.

Because he had been with George, interrogating Manuel's wife, his phone was switched off and he missed Sarah's calls before tonight.

After finishing everything and returning from George's place, he turned on his phone and discovered numerous missed calls and WhatsApp messages from Sarah.

This made Ryder extremely worried, so he called her back, only to find her phone switched off.

He had to contact Emily and through her, learned that Sarah had gone to the police station looking for him.

Just as Ryder was rushing to the police station, he ran into Sarah, leading to their reunion in the rain!

After both of them expressed their true thoughts and decided not to get divorced, Ryder suggested taking Sarah home to rest, but she refused.

Sarah said she didn't want to go back to that disgusting house anymore!

So she suggested finding a random hotel on the street to spend the night.

Since they were going through a divorce, they both had their identification cards with them.

Naturally, Ryder didn't object to this fortunate turn of events and gladly agreed!

However, the first hotel they found was fully booked, and there was no double bed available, only a single bed in a single room.

Although Sarah felt a bit embarrassed about this, she still agreed to stay.

Half an hour later.

Sarah, wrapped in a towel, stepped out of the bathroom.

She had cried just an hour ago, and now, exhausted, she looked pitiful and captivating, with a unique charm.

Sarah noticed Ryder's gaze and pretended to be angry, saying, "What are you looking at? Aren't you going to help me blow-dry my hair?"

"Okay!" Ryder hurriedly got off the bed and took out the hotel hairdryer to help her dry her hair.

After drying her hair, Ryder took out two packs of chocolate from his pocket and handed them to Sarah, saying, "Eat them quickly!"

Sarah looked surprised for a moment and exclaimed, "Why did you have chocolates in your pocket?

"I saw you faint from low blood sugar earlier and was worried that you might forget to eat when you wake up. So, I bought some at the convenience store. I didn't know if it would suit your taste or not."

Upon hearing this, Sarah, who had just cried a while ago, felt her eyes welling up with tears again.

She thought about how she had caused such a big incident today, yet no one in her family understood her.

Not even a phone call to check on her when she didn't come home so late.

And in the end, it was this son-in-law, who everyone looked down upon, showing such genuine concern for her in every detail.

It would be fake to say that she wasn't moved!

"Thank you!" Sarah choked out these three words after a long time.

Ryder softly said, "It's nothing, you should eat the chocolate first. I'll go wash the clothes!"

After saying that, Ryder took the clothes, stockings, and other items that Sarah had taken off and went to the bathroom to wash them clean and hang them up.

After all, they would need them tomorrow.

By the time all this fuss was over, it was already close to 1 am in the middle of the night!

After a tiring day, they could finally rest.

But an awkward situation arose.

Because the hotel room was relatively small, there was simply not enough space for Ryder to sleep on the floor!

Not to mention any extra bedding.

Seeing this, Ryder forced a smile and said, "You go to bed and rest well, I'll spend the night in the hallway and play some games!"

However, Sarah pursed her lips and said, "Stop pretending! I know your little scheme. I'll let you sleep in the bed tonight, but let me remind you, you better behave, otherwise..."

She then mimed a cutting motion with her fingers.

"I am the most honest man in Houston!"

Ryder felt overjoyed in his heart and without any hesitation, he flipped over and jumped onto the bed, lying next to Sarah.

After turning off the lights, the room fell into complete darkness!

At this moment, both of them could clearly hear each other's breathing!

But neither of them spoke anymore!

The rain outside was still pouring.

Drip, drop, it tapped on the windows.

More than ten minutes passed, and Ryder still couldn't fall asleep!

He didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing Sarah!

But at this moment, Ryder suddenly felt Sarah's head resting on his chest!

Soon after, she softly said, "I suddenly feel very happy... I've thought countless times today that life is unfair, burdening me with all the misfortunes. But it is precisely because of these hardships that I have gained the greatest happiness in my life. So this time, I really want to cherish this happiness and hold onto it with you..."

Ryder's heart raced. Was this her way of confessing her feelings?

"Ryder, do you truly love me?"

"I..."

Before Ryder could answer, Sarah interrupted him, saying, "Actually, you don't need to say it. I already know what's in your heart. Otherwise, you would have agreed to divorce me a long time ago and left this heartless family. Today, a thought kept popping up in my mind. The thought of losing you, perhaps I will never encounter another man who is so devoted to me in my whole life!”

Upon hearing this, Ryder's mood became excited, causing him to instinctively lower his head. And he kissed Sarah! Surprisingly, Sarah didn't refuse but rather clumsily went along with it.

It was the first time they had kissed in almost three years of marriage! It was like an unstoppable torrent! Just as Ryder's instinctive desire was about to escalate further, Sarah suddenly gasped in his ear and said, "Ryder...please stop...calm down!"

Ryder, who was about to lose himself in the moment, hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I started my period! Just now!" Sarah replied.

"What?" Ryder felt a buzz in his head, and all his actions came to a halt. He turned on the light and indeed saw a bloodstain on the white sheet. According to Ryder's experience, Sarah's period wouldn't come for another four to five days. The fact that it suddenly arrived today must be related to the stress she had been under lately, combined with getting caught in the rain tonight.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive!" Ryder apologized to Sarah with some embarrassment.

Under the light, Sarah's face still had a lingering blush. She shook her head and said softly, "It's...it's okay, I was impulsive too. Let's just pretend like nothing happened."

Ryder nodded repeatedly, but he still felt guilty in his heart. At this moment, Sarah raised her head and looked at Ryder, somewhat timidly saying, "There's something I need to trouble you with..."

"What is it? Just tell me, as long as it's something I can do!" Ryder replied.

Blushing, Sarah answered in a small voice, "Could you please go downstairs and buy me a pack of sanitary pads... and a clean pair of underwear, mine got dirty..."
