Chapter 87 Marital Conflict!
The Pint House's Luxury Guest Room
Ryder sat on the sofa by the bed, silently watching Sarah lying there.
Arturo had gotten Sarah drunk, making it inconvenient for her to move. So he directly booked a room in the hotel for her to rest.
She had been sleeping for over five hours now.
Considering that Sarah had worked all night, he had been persuading her to rest.
As she was drunk, he wanted her to get some good rest.
Otherwise, her body would collapse if she continued to exhaust herself like this.
Ryder found that Sarah's flawless beauty never ceased to fascinate him, no matter how long he looked at her!
The thought of having such a beautiful and kind-hearted girl as his wife made him feel incredibly lucky.
However, their current life together was far behind Ryder's expectations.
Actually, Ryder didn't have high demands.
Just a room for the two of them, three meals a day, and all four seasons!
It would be even better if they could expand from just the two of them to three or four!
"I wonder when these days of happiness will come!" Ryder sighed.
After all, Sarah had never opened up to him until now.
Although she didn't dislike him as much as before, they were still far from love or affection!
At this moment, Sarah, lying on the bed, opened her eyes slightly and murmured, "Thirsty... so thirsty..."
Ryder quickly grabbed the hangover soup from the nearby table and brought it to Sarah's lips.
Carefully, he made her drink it in small sips.
After drinking the sour plum soup, Sarah still couldn't open her eyes properly.
However, the attentive Ryder noticed that at some point, a tear had started flowing from the corner of her eye.
Why is she crying out of nowhere?
Ryder pulled out a tissue and wiped away her tear.
He heard her muttering softly, "Not willing... I don't want to lose this gambling agreement... I really can't bear it..."
Upon hearing this, Ryder couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
During this period, she had been under immense pressure!
But he had his reasons and couldn't reveal his true identity to Sarah.
Gently stroking Sarah's forehead, Ryder said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here. As long as we're together, there's no difficulty we can't overcome!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but lightly pinch Sarah's cheek.
Soft!
To his surprise, Sarah suddenly opened her eyes!
With a blurred gaze, she looked at Ryder and asked, "Where... where am I?"
Startled, Ryder quickly withdrew his hand, nervously swallowing his saliva as he answered, "This... this is a hotel room! I saw that you drank too much, so I booked a room for you."
"Booked a room?" Sarah immediately widened her eyes and questioned Ryder, 'What did you do to me?'
"I didn't do anything!" Ryder hurriedly stood up and explained.
Sarah quickly lowered her head and glanced inside the blanket. She then briefly checked her body and realized nothing was strange.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. She glared at Ryder and said, "Hmph! I know you won't dare to do anything to me!"
After speaking, Sarah rubbed her dizzy head.
She got off the bed and complained to herself, "Damn it! I drank too much at such a critical moment and slept for so long! Did you see Mr. Morrison? I still need to discuss the cooperation with him!"
"I..." Ryder was about to respond.
Suddenly, Sarah's phone rang.
The caller ID showed it was Mr. Morrison calling.
Sarah made a silent gesture to Ryder and answered the phone, "Mr. Morrison, I'm sorry, but I had a bit too much to drink. Where are you? I'll come to find you right away!"
"Are you trying to mock me now?" Arturo's voice came from the other end with a hint of irritation.
"Mr. Morrison, I don't understand what you mean. I don't think I was mocking you, was I?"
"Damn it! You filthy couple! I finally understand why you readily came to have dinner with me. It was all planned from the beginning! Tell your useless husband! The matter of him beating me today is not over! I will definitely make him kneel and apologize!" Arturo shouted angrily.
"What? Did Ryder beat you?" Sarah's mind buzzed. How did such a big incident happen while she was drunk?
"Huh! Are you still pretending with me?" Arturo sent Sarah a photo.
Opening it, Sarah saw a selfie of Arturo lying in a hospital bed.
He was almost unrecognizable!
Sarah was so frightened that she covered her mouth.
"You bitch! I have notified all the building material suppliers in Houston to completely boycott your company! The new partnership you finalized yesterday, they will also breach the contract! You're done for! This is the consequence of angering me!" Arturo said fiercely before hanging up the phone.
As Sarah listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, her face turned pale.
How did it come to this?
Seeing this, Ryder approached her with concern and asked, "Darling, are you okay?"
Suddenly, Sarah slapped Ryder across the face!
Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with disappointment and anger as she screamed at Ryder, "Get lost!"
Ryder stood up in confusion and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
"Why?" Sarah chuckled self-mockingly, tears streaming down her face.
"You... do you have any idea what I'm going through right now? Do you know how much effort it took for me to secure another opportunity to talk to Mr. Morrison? It's all been ruined by you, and all my hard work has gone to waste! How can I explain this to the company? How can I explain it to the other seven?"
Ryder remained silent.
This only made Sarah even more frustrated. She glared at Ryder and said, "Now I understand why my mom always called you a heartless wolf! I defended you back then. What a fool I was! The biggest fool! You are the most useless man I've ever met! I... Let's get a divorce!" Sarah suddenly blurted out.
Upon hearing this, Ryder frowned slightly and replied, "I won't divorce you."
"I want a divorce! I want it! Let's do it now!" Sarah bit her stubbornly.
"You're too emotional right now. Calm down," Ryder replied casually, then turned and left the room.
"Bastard! Ryder, you're a bastard! If you leave, don't ever come back!" Sarah stomped her foot in anger, her tears flowing uncontrollably.
It was clearly Ryder's fault. She couldn't understand why he didn't apologize. And he even had the audacity to leave her alone! In the past, he would always apologize when she glared at him.
Men are truly unpredictable!
At that moment, someone knocked on the private room door. Sarah thought it was Ryder coming back. She was about to erupt, but to her surprise, Casey opened the door and walked in.
