Chapter 385 The Villain Lady Arrives 214
When Lillian and Sophia regained their freedom and hugged Tariq and Alice tightly, Ryan was standing not far away, watching the scene with complicated eyes. There was a subtle sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes revealed a mixture of jealousy and disdain. He turned around quietly and disappeared into the crowd, as if he had never appeared.
In the next few days, Ryan's behavior became very strange. Whenever he met Alice, his eyes always stayed on her for an unusually long time, with a complicated expression, as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end he chose to remain silent. Alice noticed this change in Ryan and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
One evening, Alice was on her way home when she suddenly met Ryan, who stopped her and looked at her solemnly.
"Alice, can we talk?" Ryan's voice was low and powerful, as if he was suppressing some emotion.
Alice was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Of course, Ryan. What do you want to talk about?"
Ryan took a deep breath, as if to organize his thoughts: "Alice, I have always liked you. But when I saw you and Tariq together, so happy and so happy, I knew I might never have a chance."
Alice was touched when she heard this. She patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Ryan, you are a very good person. But love is something that cannot be forced. I have fallen in love with Tariq. He is irreplaceable to me."
Ryan smiled bitterly and nodded: "I know. I just feel a little unwilling to accept why I met you so late. However, I am also very relieved to see you happy. Alice, you must be happy."
Alice smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your blessing, Ryan. I believe that we will all find our own happiness."
After saying that, Alice turned and left, leaving Ryan standing there alone, looking at her back with complicated eyes.
However, Ryan's emotions did not calm down. In the next few days, his gaze towards Alice became more intense and complicated, as if he wanted to imprint her image deeply in his heart. Alice also noticed this change in Ryan and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
One night, when Alice was walking with Tariq, she couldn't help but voice out her worries: "Tariq, have you noticed that Ryan has been a little strange recently? He always looks at me with such complicated eyes, as if he has a lot to say but can't."
Tariq frowned slightly when he heard this: "Really? I didn't really pay attention to it. However, Ryan has always had a good impression of you, which may be the reason for his complicated emotions."
Alice nodded: "I know. But I have already told him that I love you. I don't want him to let this affect his life."
Tariq held Alice's hand tightly. "Don't worry, Alice. I will find a chance to have a good talk with Ryan. I believe he is a rational man and will understand your feelings."
Alice smiled and nodded, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She knew that with Tariq by her side, she would be able to face any difficulties bravely.
The next day, Tariq found Ryan. They sat down in a quiet corner and began a deep conversation.
"Ryan, I know you have always liked Alice." Tariq's voice was calm and powerful, as if it could penetrate Ryan's heart.
Ryan's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and then he nodded: "Yes, I admit it. But I have given up. I know that Alice loves you."
Tariq took a deep breath and said, "Ryan, you are a very good person. I don't want you to be affected by this incident. We are still friends, right?"
Ryan looked at Tariq's sincere eyes and was touched. He nodded: "Yes, we are still friends. I will adjust my mood and wish you all the best."
Tariq patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "That's right. I believe you will be able to find your own happiness."
After saying that, they smiled at each other, as if all the misunderstandings and estrangements had disappeared.
However, life did not become peaceful because of this. Shortly after Tariq and Ryan reconciled, a sudden news once again broke their peaceful life.
That day, while Alice was shopping, she accidentally heard a rumor about Ryan. The rumor said that Ryan was actually a descendant of aristocrats from another world, and he was stranded in this world for some reason. Recently, his family has found his whereabouts and is preparing to take him back.
Alice couldn't help but feel an inexplicable worry when she heard this. She knew that if this news was true, then Ryan was about to leave this world and they would never see each other again.
In the evening, Alice told Tariq the news. Tariq frowned and said, "Is this news reliable? Ryan never mentioned his background."
Alice shook her head: "I don't know either. But there's no smoke without fire. If this news is true, Ryan may leave us soon."
Tariq was silent for a while, then said, "Let's go talk to Ryan tomorrow. If the news is true, we should at least see him off."
Alice nodded, her heart filled with reluctance and helplessness.
The next day, they found Ryan. Ryan saw their serious expressions and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Tariq took a deep breath and told Ryan the rumor he had heard. Ryan's body trembled slightly when he heard it, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, the news is true." Ryan's voice was low and powerful, as if he was suppressing some emotions. "My family has found my whereabouts, and they are preparing to take me back."
Hearing this, Alice couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She held Ryan's hand tightly: "Ryan, do you have to go back? Can't we meet again?"
Ryan looked at Alice's sad eyes, and a strong feeling of emotion surged in his heart. He gently patted Alice's hand: "Alice, this is my fate that I cannot change. But I will always remember you. You are my most precious friends in this world."
Tariq also patted Ryan on the shoulder: "Ryan, although we are going to separate, our friendship will not change. We will always remember you."
Ryan nodded, with a determined light in his eyes: "I will always remember you. No matter where I am, I will pray and bless you."
After saying this, the three of them hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to freeze this moment in their memory forever.
