Chapter 399
Ryan’s heart melted when he heard Carrie cry.
His Adam’s apple rolled, and he actually had an inappropriate reaction
The crystal tears that streamed down Carrie’s face seemed to have
caused ripples in Ryan’s heart.
In an instant, Ryan forgot about how Carrie had abandoned him and ran away the last time they got into a car accident.
“Annie? Do you mean Bella? Bella gave you the teddy?” Ryan
narrowed his eyes and gently wiped the tears from Carrie’s cheeks
with his calloused fingertips.
Carrie nodded vigorously, the tip of her nose red.
“Where did you lose it? Here?”
Carrie nodded again, her eyes still red.
“Don’t worry, I’ll help you find it.”
Ryan took Carrie’s little hand and walked to the stage step by step, in
full view of everyone.
A dreamy and crimson light followed, illuminating the two of them.
Carrie lowered her eyes timidly, but she could not help but sneak
glances at him.
Although Ryan looked a bit fierce, he was really handsome.
His strong and chiseled face was unparalleled in this world.
Carrie pursed her lips. Her twinkling eyes wandered all over the man’s face as she carefully etched his deep facial features in her heart.
“Stop the music.”
Ryan stood in the DJ’s position, picked up the microphone, and said only three words. The originally boisterous place fell silent.
Zoe and Bethany were having fun, so they did not look at the screen
until someone reminded them.
In an instant, Zoe sat upright on the sofa and screamed angrily.
Everyone was so frightened, thinking that she was possessed.
When Bethany saw Carrie and Ryan standing side by side, and Ryan was holding Carrie’s hand as if they were a couple, Bethany felt so angry that her chest felt tight. Her mind buzzed.
Ryan was holding Carrie’s hand so openly and looking at Carrie with
such affection as if she were the one for him.
Was Ryan showing the world that he loved Carrie?
Bethany thought, ‘Carrie! That little bitch! If you dare steal my man, I
will definitely kill you!’
“What’s going on?! Why is my brother with that fool? Explain!”
Zoe called her personal bodyguard over and glared at them with piercing eyes. “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on that fool? How could she and my brother run into each other?!”
“Ms. Zoe, please calm down… I kept an eye on her the whole time, but
I didn’t expect Mr. Ryan to show up at ACE tonight. Carrie was running around, so she would definitely bump into Mr. Ryan.” Zoe’s bodyguard panicked and explained it incoherently.
“Useless fool!”
Zoe had nowhere to vent her anger, so she simply kicked her
bodyguard in the leg.
In the end, she missed the bodyguard’s leg and fell to the floor with a
scream.
Bethany and her friends stifled a laugh.
On the stage, Ryan’s charming eyes held a smile as he spoke, “I hope everyone is having fun tonight. Why don’t we play a little game? My
sister has lost a teddy bear here.”
As soon as he said this, a photo of Carrie’s teddy bear appeared on
the huge screen behind him, which Carrie had taken before on her
phone.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
“Sister? I thought Mr. Hoffman only had one sister. She’s the protégé
of a famous pianist. I don’t remember her looking like this.”
“Sister? More like a backup lover. You just called that man bro, but
are you his sibling?”
“But this lady doesn’t even look like she has come of age! She’s still a
child, right? I doubt she’s an adult yet!”
“What do you know? Rich men like girls much younger than them.
They like the innocent, natural, and real type.”
Carrie vaguely heard a word or two of criticism. Her cheeks turned red
with embarrassment, and she wanted to withdraw her hand from
