Chapter 610 Sleep Together
Sarah was totally caught off guard at Ryder's words, and her cheeks flushed a beautiful pink. Paired with those silk pajamas, she looked gentle and charming.
Seeing this, Ryder took a bold step and reached for Sarah's arm.
But Sarah slapped his hand away.
"Don't think saying sorry is gonna make me forgive you for keeping secrets from me. And what's up with your first love? Why haven't you ever mentioned her?"
Ryder suddenly regretted suggesting they sleep together.
He was about to explain when Sarah snorted. "Whatever, it's your business. If you don't wanna talk about it, fine! I don't even care!"
"It's not that I don't wanna talk, I..." Ryder started to explain.
But Sarah walked off without looking back, and she slammed the door shut, leaving Ryder standing there, blinking in confusion.
The old Sarah would never have acted like this!
She used to be proud and aloof, never getting mad over little things, even slamming doors on her way out.
Jealou! Ryder figured it out.
He excitedly got up and went to the guest bedroom where Sarah was staying.
He knocked on the door cautiously and was thrilled to hear Sarah's permission inside.
So, Ryder started spilling everything about his first love, Saskia.
"That's it?" Sarah was clearly not satisfied.
Ryder nodded. "Yeah, then my dad got really sick, so I went back to Houston. Luckily, I met you. In the three years we've been together, I know you're the one for me, Sarah!"
Sarah pouted, "Don't say that! I bet if any girl outside chased you, you'd go for it."
"No way! None of them can even compare to you. You're the most beautiful!"
"So you only like me 'cause I'm good-looking?"
"Huh?" Ryder was a bit thrown by the question.
Sarah impatiently waved her hand. "Alright, alright, go to sleep. It's already past two in the morning, and I'm tired and sleepy."
"But..."
"Don't even think about sleeping together. I haven't forgiven you yet!"
Ryder felt a bit wronged. "Alright then, as long as you're not mad. It hurts me to see you upset."
"You're so good at sweet-talking. Did you talk to your first love like this too?"
Ryder felt pretty helpless.
But luckily, Sarah was just joking.
After explaining for a while, Ryder confirmed that Sarah wasn't mad anymore and then closed the door and went back to his own bed.
But just thinking about Sarah being in the next room and not being able to hold her made Ryder feel like he was being bitten by a thousand ants, itching and restless, tossing and turning.
He stayed up all night until dawn, finally falling asleep.
However, just half an hour later, the alarm went off.
So when Ryder and Rex went to Passion Logistics Management Company to officially start work, Brent joked that having Sarah made a big difference when he saw Ryder's dark circles under his eyes.
But besides Ryder, Rex's dark circles were also very noticeable.
Brent joked with Rex, asking if eavesdropping was fun.
Rex replied that he was worried about Barbara, which is why he didn't sleep well all night.
"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on this topic! By the way, Brent, you seem to know a lot, but when it comes to yourself, you're clueless. That Ashley is a perfect match for you."
Since Ryder and Brent had become good friends, they were now on friendly terms in private.
Brent waved his hand, his eyes filled with determination, "I just want to do what I can for my father and the Wallace family!"
Then Brent pulled Ryder aside.
He said, "I watched that video you sent me last time. I was confused too. If my dad was killed by the Young family, then who was the guy they locked up later?"
"After my dad got imprisoned, they labeled him as a heinous criminal. I only got to see him from a distance once. He had lost so much weight. Later, he died in prison, and when I got the news, the hospital handed me an urn with his ashes!"
"After that, I dug up the urn from the cemetery and did a DNA test at the hospital. I got the results this morning, and they said there was no blood relation between the two samples! So the person in the video is my real father! He was drugged and strangled to death by the Young family!"
Hearing this, Ryder squinted, "The Young family really has a twisted scheme. But now that you mention it, I remember Uncle Ryan telling me about something three years ago. Didn't the Young family have a 'car falling into the river' case? There was a flood, and the bodies were never found."
"You mean the Young family switched my dad with that driver?" Brent gasped.
Ryder shook his head. "No, it's just a theory for now. But we can follow this lead and find the driver's family."
"If that's true, then the Young family deserves to die!" Brent gritted his teeth.
Ryder patted Brent's shoulder, trying to comfort him, "Don't worry, that day will come."
Just then, a chubby woman, also in a delivery uniform, saw Ryder and Brent chatting on the side.
She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Hey, what are you two chatting about? It's your first day at work, and you're not being proactive. What's the deal? A few men can't even keep up with me!"
Ryder and Brent exchanged a helpless look and replied loudly, "Nothing, we're coming right away!"
So Ryder and Brent joined the delivery team, distributing goods according to the delivery areas.
Then they rode the company's tricycle with a cargo box to deliver the goods.
Because of the launch of the GoldenEagle APP, which had been promoted and advertised by the Treasure Hunt App, it naturally gained more favor and trust from merchants and consumers.
Compared to the dismal sales and logistics of the Treasure Hunt App, the GoldenEagle APP's sales were very impressive, sticking to the "fast logistics" concept, with same-day delivery for orders placed on the first day, and latest delivery by the next day.
Of course, this was limited to Aurora City.
But with a population of over 1 million, Aurora City could form an independent market.
Maple Group's strategy of using minimal cost to gain the largest market and benefits was indeed enviable.
Especially for their competitor, the Young family.
However, while the Young family was envious, they had more important matters to attend to.
Because last night, the Young family had the media heavily publicize the news of Tyler and Barbara's upcoming wedding.
Early this morning, the Young Group received a large investment from the Jones family in the Capital City, as expected!
The Jones family from the Capital City was far beyond the first-tier small families in Aurora City.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Jones family in the Capital City had hundreds of families like the Young family depending on them.
The key point was that if it weren't for Barbara's friend Anna's promise, the Young family wouldn't have had the qualification to be associated with the Jones family.
The Jones family was supporting the Young family. What kind of signal was this?
Smart people could see it right away!
