Chapter 1231
Ryan made a little detour to grab some stuff from the local store before planning to head over to check on his
cousin, lan
He had a mere $300 left in his wallet. It was money that he had earned himself, a significant change from his
previous lifestyle of being a trust fund kid. This was the only money he had ever made
He spent $200 to buy a bottle of wine for lan. He knew that it was not a brand that lan would typically prefer, but it
was the best he could afford at the moment.
His partner’s voice echoed from the side. “Weren’t you planning to use that $300 to rent a place? You won’t find
something in Greenfield for less than $100 a month. And you don’t want to share, so you’re looking at least at $300
for a place in the outskirts”
Ryan, clutching the wine bottle, had already slid into his car
“I have to spend it lan has always been good to me. He’s always been the best to me ever since we were kids”

he joined Ryan in the car
“People say lan is a bit of a wild card I didn’t expect that ”
Rolling his eyes. Ryan retorted. Only those who know him well can appreciate his goodness”
The car pulled up outside the villa Ryan got out and quickly approached the entrance.
Once he explained his intentions, the staff let him in
Ryan was a little dumbfounded
But as he pushed open the door to the sitting room, and saw lan sitting on the couch, he suddenly didn’t know what
to say
There was a movie playing in front of tan. He probably hadn’t expected any visitors
He was holding a cigarette between his fingers, and the ashtray on the coffee table was filled with butts. It was hard
to tell how many he had smoked
Ryan called out, placing the bottle of wine on the coffee table.
“I brought you a gift. Heard you’ve been feeling down lately”
lan’s eyes were bloodshot. He glanced at the wine bottle and seemed to guess what was going on.
“Did you earn this money yourself?”
Ryan tensed up, unsure how lan had figured it out. He slowly nodded.
Ian leaned back, exhaustion written all over him. He had just returned home after spending time chasing Maja
outside
The movie had been paused. It was a classic romance movie that had been out for many years.
Ryan thought to himself that lan probably wasn’t watching the movie for enjoyment, but to fill the silence in the
room to make it feel less lonely
Ian remained silent, and Ryan didn’t know what to say
After a long while, lan finally managed to speak up with a hoarse voice
“Go home
Ryan immediately stood up. “lan, take care of yourself. Maja will be okay”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was then that lan noticed how much Ryan had grown. The boy who used to be a spoiled brat was now a mature
young man. His time in the outside world had changed
him
lan tried to muster a smile, but it was too hard. He simply hummed in acknowledgment
As Ryan left, he saw his partner leaning against the car, his legs casually swinging, the studs in his ears shining
brightly under the sun.
He frowned, got into the car and started worrying about his housing situation. He couldn’t rely on the Raymond
family’s resources or use lanis money now that he had
decided to strike out on his own
in the midst of his womnes, he heard a voice from the side
Why don’t you live with me? I’ll charge you $100 a month. Can you cook?”
Ryan was taken aback. He hadn’t known his partner for long, but everyone said the guy had a bad temper and
didn’t like to share living space
“Uh, I can make instant noodles
That I do We’re roommates from now on”
Looking at his partners face, thinking about the mere $100 left in his wallet, Ryan nodded in agreement
