Chapter 199
All Audrey could hear was the sound of her racing heart.
Ryan gazed at Audrey's features-the delicate nose, the moist lips. His eyes finally settled on her trembling
pupils.
He brushed against the corner of Audrey's lips.
Audrey held onto Ryan's wrist, her eyelashes fluttering intensely.
“Matthew Kingston...” Ryan slowly approached Audrey, his nose touching hers, causing Audrey’s breath to hitch
in her throat.
“My real name...” Ryan's Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke, his voice carrying a seductive. allure. “It's
Matthew.”
Audrey's heart felt like it was about to burst.
She tightly grabbed the back of Ryan's vest, trying to pull away, but the man held onto the back of her head.
As Ryan's lips descended, goosebumps erupted all over her body.

Audrey curled up in Ryan’s embrace, her mind in turmoil.
Just as her teeth were pried apart, Audrey clenched Ryan's shirt tightly and pushed him away forcefully.
“Ryan, don't... don’t do this...”
Ryan's fingertips caressed his lips as he removed his glasses.
He then undid the buttons of his vest, and his lips pressed against hers once again- pinning Audrey down on the
couch.
Audrey’s hands pushed against Ryan's shoulders, but she couldn't move him no matter
how hard she tried.
Ryan's familiar breath invaded her lungs, aggressively assaulting her lips like a hunter trying to devour her
whole.
The intimate intertwining of their tongues and the merging of their saliva left Audrey powerless to resist.
Her whole body melted into a puddle, and her spine taut with tremors.

It wasn’t until Audrey’s phone rang that Ryan's movements faltered slightly.
Audrey suddenly cto her senses and pushed Ryan away in a panic. She hastily straightened her clothes and
avoided Ryan's gaze as she picked up her phone.
It was a video call from Lily.
Audrey quickly tidied her hair and answered the call, suppressing her pounding heart.
“Mommy!” Lily’s joyful face and a teddy bear appeared on the phone screen. “Mommy, look! This is the prize
Wandflower and Dallas won for me! Isn't it super cute?”
Audrey’s gaze softened and smiled. “Yes, super cute! But not as cute as you!”
“Mommy, why is your face so red? Are you sick?” Dallas‘ head also squeezed into view, furrowing his brows with
concern.

Audrey quickly touched her flushed face, smiling as she replied, “No, I'm not sick. | had dinner with Mr. Campbell
today and drank a little bit of alcohol. Maybe | had a bit too much, but I'll be fine in a while.”
On the other end, Dallas frowned as he noticed the shadow moving behind Audrey and the faint glimpse of a suit
jacket.
“Mommy, are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you feel like throwing up? Did you take any hangover medicine?”
Lily put down the teddy bear in her hands.
“Mommy is fine! | don’t feel like throwing up. You both know Mr. Campbell's tolerance
for alcohol.”
While Audrey was talking to Lily, Dallas sneaked into the bathroom and called Ryan's
phone.
As expected, the phone rang on Audrey’s end of the video call.
Ryan looked at his phone and saw it was Dallas calling.
He glanced at Audrey, then walked to the balcony to answer the call.
