Chapter 669: Aunt Morwenna —Aiden’s mother.

Daniel returned only with a confused face. Walking back into the living room, he waited until Zenith also entered.

Then, looking at Ryan, he asked, "Would you care to explain what’s going on here?"

Ryan heard and glanced up at him before darting his gaze to look at Zenith. "Oh, you are back?"

Zenith felt a little awkward but hummed in response. "Yes. I am sorry I didn’t know Mr. Evans would be here today. I —"

"It’s fine. He doesn’t mind." Ryan replied to her, and Daniel stared at him with wide eyes.

Pointing a finger at himself, he mumbled. "I don’t mind? Brother, what are you saying?"

Although his voice was barely a whisper and Zenith hadn’t heard it fully, it still made her feel uncomfortable. After all, she was staying at her boss’s place. How could that be explained?

Ryan noted her discomfort before sending a small glare Daniel’s way.

Daniel was about to defend himself when Ryan cut his chance by turning to speak to Zenith. "You must be tired. Go on and get freshened up. Make yourself comfortable."

Zenith flicked her eyes once at Daniel and then quickly nodded to escape. "I will go, then." And with that, she didn’t linger. She rushed off, walking straight to the guest room she had been staying in.

Daniel watched her flee and then turned to arch his brow at Ryan. "I do mind, by the way. You are my friend. So, tell me, what’s exactly happening here?"

Ryan looked at him and then shook his head. "Nothing of that sort that you are guessing." He then jutted his chin toward the room and explained, "She is just staying here for a while since the bridge near her apartments has collapsed. She would move once it is fixed."

"Oh, so it’s like that?" Daniel nodded, understanding. "Fine, I believe, but ..."

He paused, and only when Ryan looked at him did he continue. "But the idea of starting something that’s not there is not bad."

Ryan frowned, not liking where the conversation was heading. "What absurd thing are you talking about, Daniel? She is my employee, my secretary."

"I know. But she is also a good woman, brother," Daniel shrugged. "Beautiful, competent and someone who understands you well. She had been working on your side for quite a while now. No one would know this better than you. So, it’s not a bad idea, to be honest. If anything, it’s a perfect way to really move on from the past."

However, before Ryan could speak anything in response to his words, he pulled his hand up to check the time on his watch.

Then, interrupting him, he said, "Oh, it’s actually quite late. I think I should leave first." Glancing at him, he gave a small smile, "Don’t make a haste to refuse thing, Ryan. Take some time and think about it. And ..." his gaze darted to look down at the glass of scotch. "Don’t drink too much and ruin yourself. Nothing will change even if you drink every drop of alcohol in the world."

Ryan didn’t say anything. He just chugged the drink in his glass.

Daniel sighed, but no longer pressed. Turning around, soon after, he left.

After a while, the door of the guest room opened, and Zenith walked out. Her eyes darted to look around. Not finding Daniel around, she asked, "Mr. Evan’s left already?"

Ryan stared up at her and nodded. Then, looking at the bottle, he asked, "Do you want a drink?"
