Everyone huddled around Adeline, trying to approach her and get in her good books. They just wanted
to know Isaac through her.
Patricia looked at them. Isaac’s really popular, huh? She looked at her duffel bag and decided she
would get to her room.
Ryan did not care what Adeline was talking about. He extended his hand to Patricia. “I can help you
with that. My room’s right next to yours. I’m in 1207, and you’re in 1208.”
Selina arranged that, of course. Patricia smiled. “This isn’t really heavy. I can hold it myself.” She raised
her children alone and did everything herself. She was used to an independent life, unlike certain
women out there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRyan was a bit disappointed, but he did not insist. He said, “Ah, I’m so sad. I just wanted to help, but
my fair lady just won’t let me.”
Everyone else was buttering Adeline up, so they did not see Patricia and Ryan going up to their rooms.
When they came to their rooms, Ryan said, “Come right out after you settle down, Patricia. Get
something to eat before changing into your swimsuit.” He was worried she might change into her
swimsuit right away. He did not want the other guys to see her in her swimsuit.
Patricia smiled. “Sure.” She went into the room and put her bag down. It was a clean, spacious, and
comfortable room. She looked out of the balcony and saw all sorts of hot spring pools on the mountain.
They had pools all the way from the base to the top.
She had seen the brochure back in the lobby, and there was a pool on the mountain top that oversaw
the scenery beneath it. It was a popular Instagrammable spot. She took her phone and left her room.
The first thing she saw was Ryan standing in front of her. He had taken his coat off and changed into a
black tracksuit. It was like they were in matching attire. Patricia froze for a moment. She did not expect
him to wait for her. “I thought you’d be gone by now.”
Ryan looked at her. “You still love to take your own sweet time like you used to.” He patted her head,
and a loving smile curled his lips.
Patricia combed through her hair with her fingers. “And you still haven’t grown up, Ryan.” He used to
love patting her head just like this, and it annoyed her. She looked all messed up with unkempt hair.
They suddenly smiled; it reminded them of their high school days. They then went to the restaurant on
the second floor. Their classmates had reserved a room for the class, so it was rather quiet inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPatricia and Ryan helped themselves to some food as it was a buffet-style lunch, and they came back
to the table. It was fully seated, but their classmates were no longer as warm as they were earlier. They
were giving Patricia weird looks. Patricia looked at Adeline, who had disgustingly exquisite makeup on.
She must have told them some stupid stories.
Ryan’s buddy, Hanson, huddled closer. “Bro, everyone is saying Patricia’s a sugar baby to some old
fart, and she had three of his babies. Are you sure you want her?” He was Ryan’s good friend, so of
course he had to tell him about the news. He would not want anyone to deceive Ryan. He knew
Patricia looked innocent, but women like her were professionals at manipulation. They knew how to get
to a man’s heart. Hanson did not want his friend to fall for her trap.
Ryan’s face fell, and he looked at his old classmates coldly. “Shut it. One more word and you can piss
off.”
