Chapter 605 Going to the Restaurant for a Meal!
Cruising down the road, inside the sleek, speeding amphibious sports car.
Sarah was perched on one side of the back seat, and the other side sat Ryder.
Even with a mask on, you could see the blush creeping up her cheeks.
Sarah stared out the window, staying silent.
So, Ryder kept quiet too, just sneaking glances at her.
Her long, gorgeous hair flowed down her back like a waterfall, perfectly highlighting her graceful and sexy curves. She was stunning!
Especially now, her long eyelashes fluttered with her eyelids, adding a touch of liveliness and cuteness to her face.
If Rex wasn't driving up front, Ryder would've already pulled Sarah into his arms.
But he knew that would totally freak her out.
Still, Ryder's obvious staring made Sarah feel all kinds of uncomfortable.
After holding it in for a while, she finally said, "Can you stop staring at me like that?"
"Sarah, you weren't like this just a moment ago!" Ryder pulled his gaze away, pretending to be hurt.
Hearing this, Sarah's body trembled, her blush deepening.
In the end, she just closed her eyes, not looking at anything, not saying anything.
But her chest was heaving dramatically.
Ryder stifled a laugh and asked, "Isn't it stuffy wearing a mask all the time?"
"Not at all!" Sarah shot back.
"Why not take it off? There's no one else around right now anyway!" Ryder suggested.
Sarah snorted, "No need! I wear a mask outside all the time, I'm used to it!"
She didn't want to take off the mask and have Ryder laugh at her.
She could feel her face was burning up.
Why was she so impulsive back at the train station?
Actually, Ryder was still reeling from the fact that Sarah had stolen a kiss on his cheek just now.
Even now, his heart was still racing!
"As long as you're used to it! If one day there's a global virus outbreak and everyone has to wear masks when going out, you'd be all set! By the way, I dreamed last night that we were living in another dimension, where everyone had to wear masks when going out," Ryder half-joked, trying to make a conversation.
"That would probably be the end of the world! A biohazard! I think you've watched too many sci-fi movies!" Sarah casually responded.
Ryder nodded.
Then he brought up something else, "In a bit, I'll take you to the most famous restaurant in Aurora City for dinner!"
"Great! I'm starving too!" Sarah agreed.
Then she asked, "By the way, I'm planning to visit Grandpa and Barbara tomorrow, do you have time?"
"I'll make time for you, Sarah, no matter what!"
Sarah snorted, "Sweet talker!"
The two chatted for a while longer.
During this time, Sarah completely relaxed and took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face.
Ryder looked at her, liking her more and more.
However, Ryder didn't mention anything that might ruin Sarah's mood—Barbara's close contact with Tyler; Karen and Kyle's issues in the Moore family; his own background; the encounter with his ex-girlfriend Saskia at the airport just now—none of it.
Maybe later, or tonight when they were cuddling in bed, he would talk about it.
Half an hour later.
The amphibious sports car pulled into the open-air parking lot in front of the restaurant.
Ryder, Sarah, and Rex hopped out of the car.
Just as they were crossing the road to head inside, a red Mercedes came speeding towards them.
Ryder reacted fast, yanking Sarah back, and Sarah's whole body crashed into Ryder's arms.
.
She had almost been hit!
"You okay?" Ryder asked with worry.
Sarah, still shaken, nodded. "I'm fine!"
Ryder glared at the red Mercedes, anger flaring in his eyes.
The red Mercedes parked nearby.
Soon, a woman wearing sunglasses stepped out.
She had a decent figure, about the same age as Ryder.
Looking closely, it was Saskia, the woman they had run into at the airport earlier!
Similarly, Saskia spotted Ryder and the woman in his arms.
She spoke first, "Ryder, it's you! I must say, running into you at the train station and now here, we really have quite the connection!"
As Saskia spoke, she quickly walked up to Ryder.
Seeing the woman in Ryder's arms, her eyes filled with disgust.
Sarah didn't have a good impression of the woman in front of her either.
She stepped out of Ryder's arms and stood up straight.
Then she calmly asked Ryder, "Who is this?"
Ryder was about to speak.
Saskia extended her hand first, introducing herself, "Hi! I'm Saskia! Ryder's college classmate! First love!"
First love? Even though Sarah remained calm, hearing this made her body stiffen.
Ryder thought this was bad.
He was about to explain.
But Sarah extended her hand to shake Saskia's. "Hi! I'm Ryder's wife!"
After a brief handshake, Saskia withdrew her hand and said, "I must admit, you're much prettier than me!"
Sarah still calmly replied, "Thank you for the compliment!"
"Interested in having a private chat?"
Sarah nodded. "Sure!"
Then she instructed Ryder, "You and Rex wait at the restaurant entrance, I'll have a good chat with your college classmate!"
"Okay! But Sarah, you have to trust me!"
"You guys go ahead!" Sarah's tone was somewhat impatient, urging them.
Hearing this, Ryder's eyes were full of concern for Sarah.
But he still obediently moved aside with Rex.
Why was Saskia here?
Only Saskia and Sarah were left.
Sarah spoke first, "If I remember correctly, you were also at the train station just now, so you followed us here on purpose!"
It wasn't a question, but a statement.
Saskia smiled, "You seem pretty smart! Yes, I followed you here! And just now, I really wanted to run you over!"
"Really?" Sarah sneered.
Saskia nodded, her eyes slightly provocative. "So, interested in hearing a story? About my first love with Ryder!"
"Not interested! The reason I agreed to talk to you alone is to tell you not to covet things that don't belong to you!"
Sarah's tone became strong. "Actually, you're also pitiful, still hung up on an ex-boyfriend after so many years since college graduation! It shows how much you lack love! What I value in Ryder is his present and future, the past is already the past!"
Saskia shook her head. "No! That's because you don't understand Ryder, he's actually very sentimental! The reason we broke up back then was due to a misunderstanding, and it was intentional on my part! If that misunderstanding is cleared up, do you think Ryder would still be with you?"
