Unveiling the Genius Behind the Divorcee by Lily Foster

She beckoned the waiter over and ordered a few dishes that both she and Ryker liked. Then, she

asked for the location of the private room and called Ryker to join her.

Ryker was still in a daze, and Aylin couldn’t help but feel exasperated. She gently tousled his curly hair,

which she had styled earlier, and said, “How could I possibly be mad at you? It’s just a photo. Come on,

let’s go eat.”

She was indeed not used to being photographed by strangers, but she was well aware of Ryker’s

personality. His aloof and unrestrained demeanor was necessary when facing the camera in front of

others.

In reality, deep down, he actually values emotions and is quite afraid of loneliness.

Ryker had no parents or relatives. In fact, all children from orphanages were afraid of being abandoned

again, especially since he had suddenly disappeared for three years.

She couldn’t even imagine how Ryker, with his deep emotions, managed to get through it all.

How could Aylin possibly bear to scold him? Besides, Ryker had shielded her quite well in the photo, so

it likely wouldn’t have any impact.

Recalling how Ryker’s fans are always optimistic and positive, Aylin complimented, “Your fans are quite

sensible, you’ve done a good job guiding them.”

“That’s all because of their love for me. They themselves are outstanding, it’s just that they project it

onto me,” Ryker said with a brilliant smile.

As an artiste, he has always been grateful for the support of his fans. The fact that people with no blood

relation to him can dedicate their support is truly a blessing.

“You’re quite exceptional too,” Aylin said with a faint smile.

Upon receiving this compliment, Ryker instantly cheered up. If he had a tail behind him, it would be

wagging wildly at this moment.

His amber eyes sparkled brilliantly. “Aylin, are you complimenting me on my progress? In that case,

can I shamelessly ask for a reward?”

“What reward do you want?”

“I… want to taste your cooking!”

“Okay. I’ll think about it.”

“Ah…”

Aylin playfully teased Ryker as they made their way to the private room. Ryker entered first, with Aylin

following closely behind. Just as she was about to close the door to the private room, a sudden force

stopped her movement.

Upon turning around, a pair of beautiful, slender-fingered hands were holding the door.

In the next moment, the door was forcefully pushed open from the outside.

The man who entered was tall and well-built, with deep-set eyes and sharp, chiseled features that

exuded a sense of perfection. He carried with him the irresistible charm of a mature man.

It was such a breathtaking face that made one’s heart race. At this moment, however, his expression

seemed to have sunk to the lowest depths, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complex, as if

a bottle of thick ink had been knocked over, unable to be diluted.

Aylin’s hand froze as she pushed the door.

“Gavyn?”

The door swung wide open, and as the distance between them closed, Gavyn could finally get a clear

look at Aylin’s attire.

Unlike the previous elegant and noble formal attire.

At this moment, she is dressed in sporty casual wear, her delicate little face framed by a wide-brimmed

baseball cap, looking youthful and lively.

Gavyn’s deep eyes sparkled for a moment.

In the next moment, when he saw Ryker and her dressed identically in casual hooded outfits, his

handsome face suddenly turned cold.

Aylin never wore matching couple outfits with him even when they got married!

He only thought about this aspect, feeling that she was treating them differently, completely overlooking

the past three years of his suspicion and misunderstanding towards Aylin.

Gavyn’s displeasure surged within him, but recalling Waylon’s previous advice, he held back his anger

and forced a smile as he said to Aylin, “Let’s have a meal together.”

After waiting for quite a while, Aylin finally heard this sentence.

“Huh?”

Which part is Gavyn talking about?

Lloyd hurried over, and Aylin watched him panting behind Gavyn, her eyes questioning. What was he

doing?

Lloyd understood her meaning but didn’t know how to respond. Feeling guilty, he averted his gaze and

pretended to look around.

Heaven knows what to say; he’s just an assistant after all.

Gavyn ignored the exchange of glances between the two, his expression calm and composed. He

continued walking, treating Ryker, who harbored hostility towards him, as if he were nothing but air.

“You should thank me.”

Gavyn straightened his sleeves, lowered his gaze slightly, and looked at Aylin, trying his best to

maintain a calm tone. “However, I misunderstood you last time, and I apologize for that. So, I’ll treat

you to this meal.”

After saying that, he walked straight to the table and took the main seat.

Throughout the entire process, his actions were very smooth, as if he wasn’t an uninvited guest, but

rather someone Aylin had already arranged to be there.

Aylin’s brows furrowed in discomfort as she watched, while Lloyd covered his face with his hand.

He felt that the situation was extremely awkward, and he really wanted to leave. However, since he had

already come, it was impossible for him to abandon Gavyn and walk away.

Gavyn appeared to be acting like the host, and Aylin couldn’t understand what he was doing. She

bluntly said, “Mr. Delacruz, did you forget to take your medicine before leaving the house today?”

Aylin couldn’t help but feel baffled.

What’s there to be thankful for? She has no reason to thank him; it’s already good enough that she

didn’t beat him up!

Upon hearing this, Gavyn put down the menu and looked at her with pursed lips. “You’re also in charge

of a company now, so don’t be too emotional when handling things.”

Aylin was confused.
