Chapter 38 Married Men Must Exercise Restraint!
On the streets of Houston, Ryder was racing on an electric scooter with Lily on board.
Right in the moment when Andy and Sam clashed, Ryder had grabbed Lily and fled the scene.
Lily held onto Ryder's waist, her hair flowing in the wind. She let out an excited squeal.
"Faster! Faster!"
Ryder had a worried expression. "The electric scooter has a speed limit of 30. I don't want to get caught by the police and lose points!"
Lily rolled her eyes. "Just stop then!"
Several kilometers away, when Ryder saw that nobody was chasing them, he pulled over.
Lily got off and tidied up her slightly messy hair. "You are already the President of Maple Real Estate. Why are you afraid of them?"
"It's not about being afraid, I just don't want to make things too complicated. Besides, sometimes showing weakness can lead to unexpected gains!"
"Suit yourself!"
Ryder looked around and said, "We didn't eat much of the steak earlier, I'm still hungry. Where should we go next?"
Lily tilted her head and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "Why not come to my place and let me cook for you! "
"Isn't that a little inappropriate?" Ryder scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Lily got closer, their faces less than ten centimeters apart.
Her beautiful eyes stared mischievously into Ryder's. "I understand now. You're worried about your wife, aren't you? Considering you used to be quite chauvinistic, I never thought you would be so tightly controlled by your wife!"
"That's not true!" Ryder couldn't back down in a situation like this. He continued to be stubborn. "I'm just concerned about the trouble it might cause!"
Lily switched to a bright smile. "What trouble could there be? It's just a meal! Hurry up and come to my place!"
Ryder could only smile helplessly and get back on the scooter, following Lily's directions to her home.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination. They bought groceries first before going to Lily's place.
Lily's home was in an old neighborhood built in the 1990s. It was a six-storey apartment building.
As they opened the door, they were greeted by a two-bedroom and one-living room layout, with a total area of around seventy square meters. The decoration was a bit plain.
Lily tapped the back of Ryder's head and said, "As a big CEO, you don't want to step into my humble little house!"
Ryder rolled his eyes. "How could that be!"
He admired Lily's honesty in exposing her relatively humble family background. After all, as a girl, her pride meant a lot.
Not every ordinary girl could make jokes about her own modest home. They took off their shoes and entered the house.
Lily casually took off her sports jacket and threw it on the sofa, revealing a white vest underneath. Underneath the white vest, a black sports bra accentuated her ample assets.
Ryder coughed awkwardly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lily shrugged. "Take a bath! Are you joining me?"
Ryder quickly waved his hands and said, "No, thanks! You go ahead. I'll wash the vegetables."
He hurriedly picked up the vegetables from the floor and slipped into the kitchen.
Lily laughed happily. "Just like old times. Always fooling around!"
She turned and walked into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Ryder had finished washing the vegetables and sat on the sofa, playing with his phone.
"Ryder, can you do me a favor?" Lily suddenly called from the bathroom. "I was in a hurry earlier and forgot to bring clean underwear. Can you get some for me? It's in the big drawer under the bedroom closet."
Ryder couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You're not joking, right?"
Lily sounded a bit impatient. "If I ask you to do something, just do it! It's just getting clothes, not anything else. Why are you so nervous?"
Girls always talk like this. As a man, Ryder couldn't stop hesitating.
He had no choice but to walk into Lily's bedroom.
Lily's bedroom was quite clean. It wasn’t as fancy as Sarah's bedroom. There were only pictures of yoga girls on the walls.
Ryder didn't linger his gaze for long.
He opened the drawer under the closet and saw neatly folded, colorful cute little things inside. A faint fragrance filled the air!
Ryder's throat couldn't help but roll.
Even as a married man, he had never done something like this before. After all, his wife Sarah would never allow him to touch her personal clothes.
Ryder forced himself to remain calm.
He casually grabbed a set and walked to the bathroom door "Here you go!"
"The door isn't locked! You can come in!" Lily said.
In an instant, Ryder's face turned red. "I'm not comfortable, so you should come out and get it yourself!"
Lily snorted, opened the door, and reached out her jade-like hand to take the clothes from Ryder.
The door closed.
Finally, Ryder let out a long breath. Fortunately, his determination was strong enough, otherwise, he would have done something to betray his wife today!
Soon, Lily came out wearing clean and loose clothes.
The rosy glow on her face after the shower added a rare charm to this usually tomboyish girl.
"Wait on the sofa. I'm going to surprise you with my cooking today!" she said.
Over an hour later, four dishes and a soup were served.
Ryder took a bite and couldn't help but praise, "It tastes great! I didn't expect you to have such skills!"
Lily squinted and said, "Of course! Is it better than what your wife makes?"
Ryder nodded instinctively. Sarah was great in many ways, but her cooking skills were average at best. The only dish she could proudly make was fried rice.
But most of the time, it was Ryder who cooked at home, so Sarah didn't have to bother.
Upon hearing that Sarah's cooking skills were not as good as her own, Lily's face showed a hint of pride. "If you want to eat well in the future, just come here anytime. I promise to feed you until you're full!"
Ryder gave a bitter smile and said, "Let's forget about it. If we do this a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!"
Lily squinted playfully and said, "Judging by what you just said, it seems that my charm isn't bad at all! Even a married man like you is unable to resist me!"
Ryder twitched the corner of his mouth, realizing that if he continued, Lily might say something else.
He decided to play deaf and dumb and continued eating quietly.
Lily pouted and stopped teasing Ryder.
Finally, they finished dinner smoothly. Just as Ryder was helping Lily clean up the dishes and chopsticks, the phone suddenly rang.
It was Sarah's assistant, Emily, calling.
Sarah never allowed Ryder to come to her company, so the only person in the company who knew Ryder and whom Ryder knew was Sarah's assistant.
What was she calling for? Ryder wondered and answered the call.
Emily's voice came from the other side, choked up and flustered. "Ryder! Come over quickly! Something happened to Sarah!"
Ryder's mind went blank.
