"What did she do instead? She simply just did not like me. If you and your mother's relationship turns sour because of me, I will not be able to bear that. Ruth! I forbid you from saying such words. Have you forgotten how much you liked me back then? You were so madly in love with me and afraid that I would dump you. What's going on now? Are you all capable o f being away from me now?"
Ruth looked at Ryan as she felt unwilling to let him go. "I love you now as well. I am madly in love with you. However, I have now learned that I need to love myself even more. I am no longer that shrewish and unreasonable woman that I was a few years ago. I am independent and self-reliant now. I have my pride, Ryan."
Ruth was very calm when she spoke. Her calmness made Ryan love her more and more. Ryan felt that Ruth was becoming more and more similar to Sabrina. She had that kind of calmness and confidence that was exuding from deep within.
"Woman! I forbid you to leave me! That's a must!" The man suddenly hugged Ruth very domineeringly. He was very strong, so Ruth was unable to break free from him at all. Of course, she also had never wanted t o break free, to begin with. She just snuggled in Ryan's arms like that, and gradually, both of them got into the mood. The man then threw the woman onto the
middle of the bed.
The woman called out gently. "Ryan..."
"Woman, watch how I'll deal with you! I will put my seeds in you and impregnate you tonight! I'll see how you can leave me!"
Upon saying those worse, Ryan then swooped down with a kiss. Ruth pushed back. "You're annoying!"
The lights in the bedroom were switched off very quickly. The temperature inside the bedroom, however, got warmer and warmer.
The next morning when the sun was already high up i n the sky, Ryan and Ruth still had not woken up. After all, they had gone overboard with their passionate love making the night before. On top of that, Ruth was also slightly tired from giving her future mother-in-law a foot massage last night. Therefore, she was very sound asleep.
However, Ruth's future mother-in-law, who was in another room, woke up very early and she slept very well the night before. Things were indeed different after having a deep tissue massage on both her feet and she slept much better. After getting up early in the morning, Patricia washed up and dressed up.
After she got herself impressively made up, she came t o knock on Ruth and Ryan's door. She simply wanted t o get this woman with disheveled hair and dirtied face out of her son's house. She just felt disgusted looking at this lowly woman!
"Open up! Ryan! How can you behave in such a manner! The sun is already sky high and you're still not out of bed! You're truly getting more and more out of hand! It's true that one will be influenced by the kind of people they're with! Could it be that after a few years, you'll also be like those masseurs giving others foot rubs at a bathhouse after learning from her?"
The couple, who were sound asleep, were suddenly awoken. Ruth instantly felt a headache after hearing the shoutings from outside. She pulled Ryan's ear in one fell swoop. "Listen to me, Poole! I am born a shrew! You say that I am not a suitable match for you because my family's not as prestigious as yours, but I, on the other hand, felt that you're not worthy to be with me! If your mom curses at me again when I open the door for her in a moment, I will not be polite anymore! I just want to beat her up! What about that? Should I even respect her?"
Ruth was truly exasperated. This future mother-in-law of hers had been unreasonable since yesterday! She should never have gone overboard! Ruth had been with Ryan for more than a year. She had met Ryan's mother a few times, and had shared quite a few meals with her, but why was it that she had never realized that her future mother-in-law was such a difficult person?
She angrily went to open the door. She truly intended t o have a huge argument with her future mother-in-law. However, right at that moment when the door was opened, Ruth suddenly made a dry-heaving
sound. "Oh...I...I feel like throwing up."
