Chapter 603 Train Station!
Fifty minutes later, at Aurora City Train Station.
Ryder and Rex showed up.
Usually, you'd only see a few drivers hanging around the exit.
But today? Total chaos. The exit was jam-packed with fans.
Screams were bouncing off the walls!
"I'm so pumped! We're about to see Saskia!"
"Same here! Even though our girl Ms. Stewart didn't crack the top ten in that star audition, we're her ride-or-die fans!"
"Star audition? Saskia doesn't need their resources! Being a minor celeb is nothing compared to being a top internet influencer!"
Listening to the fans' chatter, Ryder rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Another day, another fan frenzy.
Soon enough, a female internet influencer, face hidden behind a big black mask and sunglasses, flanked by her assistants, walked out.
Saskia Stewart, the internet sensation from Aurora City.
Thanks to her stint in the star audition in the Capital City, she racked up a ton of fans, especially from her hometown.
Sure, Saskia was twenty-six or twenty-seven, stunning and fit, but so what? The entertainment biz was full of girls like that!
She couldn't compete with those fresh-faced seventeen or eighteen-year-olds.
Still, she had over five million fans now.
She'd just live-streamed on the train, and bam, more than a dozen fans showed up to greet her!
Saskia paused, took off her mask, and waved at her fans, soaking up the adoration.
But the fan mob was blocking the way, making it tough for regular folks to get through.
They couldn't help but grumble:
"Can you not block the way? Let us through, please?"
"Yeah, I need to get home to see my newborn son!"
"Same here, I need to get back to see my mom one last time."
Some of Saskia's fans snapped back:
"You think we want to block the way? It's not on purpose!"
"You're in a rush to see your son and sick mom, but what about us? This might be our only chance to get close to Saskia!"
"Exactly! And this is a public place; if you're such a big deal, go use the VIP passage!"
The fans were being unreasonable.
The regular passengers couldn't win the argument and just shut up, fuming.
Ryder was pretty fed up with this fan madness too.
And Sarah had already gotten off the train.
Stuck in the crowd, they might miss each other.
"Please make way!"
Ryder tried to push through the crowd.
Just then, a young male fan glared at Ryder and snapped, "Why should I move for you? If you want to see Saskia, get in line behind me!"
Ryder shook his head. "Relax, I'm not here for Saskia! I'm just trying to pick someone up!"
But the male fan, hearing that, got even angrier. "What do you mean you're not interested in Saskia? Explain yourself! Are you dissing our Saskia? She's gorgeous, talented, and kind, and you say she's not good? Are you a monster?"
Ryder frowned.
Best not to engage with this guy.
Just as he was about to sidestep the male fan, he unexpectedly grabbed Ryder. "You're not going anywhere! You need to explain yourself!"
"Explain what? Let go!" Ryder said coldly, pulling his hand back.
The male fan tried to grab Ryder again, but Rex, who was beside Ryder, grabbed his wrist.
The pain made the male fan scream immediately, "Help, help! These two are slandering Saskia! I'm defending Saskia, and they're going to hit me!"
His loud shout immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding fans.
The surrounding fans saw that Ryder and Rex were dressed plainly, looking slightly better than them, but otherwise not much different.
They snorted:
"Saskia was wronged in the Capital City, and now that she's back home, we won't let these people bully her!"
"That's right, even as a woman, I can't stand it! You two grown men, can't you find something better to do than target Saskia?"
The fans verbally attacked Ryder and Rex.
Ryder and Rex's expressions changed slightly.
At this moment, Saskia noticed the situation over here.
She had the fans make way for her and came over to see what was happening.
When she saw who was causing the trouble, her eyes widened. "Ryder, it's actually you!"
Saskia's shout made the crowd of fans buzz:
"There's a story here!"
"But honestly, why do I feel like Saskia looks like she's seeing a heartbreaker?"
Actually, when Ryder saw Saskia, a complex emotion flashed in his usually calm and indifferent eyes.
Saskia was Ryder's college classmate—to be precise—his ex-girlfriend!.
They met when they first started college.
At that time, Saskia was pure, cute, and enthusiastic, with many boys liking her.
But Saskia only liked Ryder and actively pursued him.
At first, Ryder had no feelings.
But he couldn't resist Saskia's persistence—Blocking him on his way back to the dorm and writing him a love letter every day.
Three months later, Ryder agreed.
The thought was simple at the time: if one day in the future, Saskia was to be his wife, then agreeing to be her boyfriend early was no big deal.
But Ryder would never forget that eve of their graduation.
Saskia, holding the arm of another rich second-generation, said, "Ryder, let's break up! We're not suitable for each other!"
"Yes! You're right, I've changed! But I'm not wrong. I have the looks and the body, so why can't I break up with you?"
"Ryder, face reality. Do you know why I never had sex with you? It's not because I wanted to save my first time for marriage, but because I didn't think you were worth it! And now I'm pregnant, and I'm getting married right after graduation."
At that time, all of this hit Ryder like a thunder.
But Ryder had no time to be sad, he received news from Houston that his father, John, was critically ill.
Ryder returned to Houston early, and even his diploma was mailed to him by a classmate later.
But he accidentally saved Sarah, who was almost harassed by thugs.
Since then, he became a matrilocal husband in the Johnson family.
The Johnson family was indeed hateful, but his wife Sarah was different from the rest of the Johnson family.
The pain Saskia caused him also completely disappeared during his time with Sarah.
