Chapter 579 Barbara Drinking?
Ryder rubbed his forehead. "What I mean is, I hope you can keep my identity a secret, especially my relationship with my dad, John."
Austin tugged at his stinging cheek.
Then he smiled and said, "Of course."
Ten minutes later.
The "signature" amphibious sports car slowly descended from the lift.
Rex pressed the car key, and the door automatically opened.
It was only then that Brenda finally understood why those two "poor" people said they were picking up the car instead of buying it.
What poor people? They were clearly the owners of that amphibious sports car!
What a misfortune to have missed the chance to chat up a millionaire!
Although she didn't know the true identities of those two, Brenda was self-aware.
Even Austin had to be cautious around them; she didn't even have the right to strike up a conversation.
Just thinking about how she had looked down on them earlier, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.
But then she laughed at herself, thinking that someone of their status wouldn't bother with someone as insignificant as her.
As the car door of the amphibious sports car closed automatically, the car started.
The sleek black body and luxurious vintage interior perfectly matched the temperament of the two people inside.
The engine started with a low rumble, making one's heart race.
The sports car sped away.
'So cool! I don't care about his money or his looks, but I just love his interesting soul beneath that goofy exterior. Look at the way he handles the steering wheel with one hand, it's just so cool!'
'Oh God, let me dream tonight of being Cinderella marrying a prince charming who comes to pick me up in an amphibious sports car.'
Another female employee in the showroom and Brenda were lost in endless fantasies.
After Rex drove the car out, Austin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. "This is so embarrassing, how am I supposed to face Mr. Clark in the future?"
At this moment, Rex and Ryder were already on their way to their villa.
All the way, Rex was happily caressing the steering wheel of the sports car, unable to let go.
Ryder also felt that the car was very smooth and comfortable, and he was somewhat moved.
It was like when he was a child, looking at the moon, nestled in John's arms, listening to John's stories.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Ryder, come back right now! I woke up and found the villa empty, not a single person here! Do you believe I'll tell Sarah you're mistreating... hic."
It was Barbara calling, and she sounded a bit off.
Ryder asked suspiciously, "Have you been drinking?"
"No, I'm just scared!"
Ryder clearly heard Barbara take several more gulps of alcohol after speaking.
"Stop drinking, the wine in the cabinet is Uncle Ryan's special stash, it's very strong!"
Barbara pouted, "When are you coming back? If you don't come back, I'll keep drinking until I finish all the wine in the cabinet!"
What was this about?
"Alright, I promise to be home within ten minutes!"
Ten minutes later.
Ryder and Rex opened the villa door.
A strong aroma of wine hit them.
In the living room, there were about ten wine bottles scattered on the table.
Three of them were empty, and several others were lying around, with red liquid still visible at the bottle mouths.
Uncle Ryan would be heartbroken if he saw this.
As Ryder walked in, he saw Barbara curled up in the corner of the sofa, her head buried between her knees.
Her body was trembling slightly.
Ryder walked closer and sat on the edge of the sofa, speaking softly, "Barbara, what's wrong?"
"Don't, don't come near!" Barbara curled up even more.
Ryder frowned. "It's me, Ryder, your brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Barbara's head shot up.
Her face was flushed, and her tear-filled eyes stared at Ryder's face.
Suddenly, her whole body darted into Ryder's arms like a rabbit.
Ryder's body stiffened; he could clearly feel Barbara's hands tightly hugging him from both sides of his waist.
"Ryder, please don't move, okay? Just let me hold you for a little while!" Barbara pleaded humbly.
Ryder's eyes were full of helplessness.
Barbara's body temperature was also very high.
The key was that her soft breasts were pressed tightly against his chest.
Alright, he took back what he said about teasing Barbara about her small chest.
Ryder increasingly felt that Barbara in his arms was a hot potato.
He remembered the last time she drank, she wanted to jump into the river.
So this time, just holding her was already good.
"Ryder, can't you stop being my brother-in-law? Hic." Barbara said, rubbing her face against Ryder's chest.
Ryder's eyelids lifted slightly, and he replied calmly, "I will always be your brother-in-law."
What was Barbara trying to do?
Barbara's voice choked.
Then she hugged Ryder even tighter. "No, right now, you're not my brother-in-law, you're my Ryder!"
Before he could say anything, Barbara rubbed her face against Ryder's chest again. "Ryder, do you know, ever since I met you, you've been like a guardian in my life, protecting me, warming me. In these twenty-something years, being with you has been the happiest time of my life. But a guardian is just a guardian."
As she spoke, she started crying.
Ryder only felt his chest getting wet, but he didn't understand what she meant.
Including this time, it was already the third time she drank.
The first time she drank, she wanted to jump into the river, and they were kidnapped, almost losing their lives;
The second time they had dinner and drank, Barbara apologized to him;
Today was the third time.
He should talk to Sarah about it; Barbara had a lot of hidden issues!
Let the two sisters talk and open Barbara's heart!
"Don't cry, I'm right here with you," Ryder, who was most afraid of women crying, comforted her along her words.
"But you're Sarah's husband! No, you're not my brother-in-law now, you're my Ryder!"
As she spoke, she started laughing.
Ryder was completely baffled.
Couldn't she be normal?
Barbara laughed through her tears.
Then she looked up at Ryder. "Ryder, if you kiss me, I'll tell you why I'm drinking, okay?"
Seeing Ryder's indifferent expression, Barbara twisted her slender waist, rubbing against Ryder. "Okay? Okay?"
