Chapter 137: The Bitter Taste Of Defeat

"Aren't you going to ask me who the man in my post was?I have been out all night.Don't you want to
know if I had sex with him?"

Wendy stared at his face, trying to read his mind.

However, he was as mysterious as ever.

His face betrayed no emotion and she was at a dead loss trying to figure him out.

She was as frustrated as a smoker without a lighter.

Just when she was about to ask a few more questions, Ryan slowly closed the lid of the ointment,
turned his head and gaped at her.

He said slowly, "I trust you."

Wendy was at a total loss for words.

She had experienced the bitter taste of defeat.

To put it bluntly, she was defeated in an instant! She was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and wanted
to cry but had no tears.

She didn't expect his simple, innocent words to have such an impact on her.

All her hard work from the previous night had gone in vain.

She was at a loss as to how to continue.

Verily she was losing her mind.

She stood up from the sofa and said, "I'll leave now."



Ryan didn't force her to stay.

He just handed her the ointment and instructed, "Apply it twice a day and the red lumps will soon
disappear."

"Okay, I see."

Wendy left, sulking.

The first thing she did when she got home was to remove her makeup and to take a shower.

Ray awoke from his sleep just as she came out of the bathroom.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief whilst pretending to have just woken up.

"Good morning, honey."

"Good morning!"

When they were downstairs, Ray noticed the lumps on her body.

He frowned and asked softly, "Why are there so many mosquito bites on your arm?"

Wendy was stunned, '’What? It was exactly what Ryan had asked her.The serious expression on Ray's
face matched Ryan's to the tee.For a moment, she almost mistook the boy in front of her for Ryan!
What the hell! But...

"Well! Ray, are those marks similar to lumps caused by mosquito bites?"

Ray looked at her amused.

"Of course."



Wendy was dumbstruck.She didn't know why she was discussing this with a child.

"I forgot to close the window last night so I got bitten by mosquitoes."

Ray ran over and examined her arms and legs like a doctor.

"Mommy, there are so many lumps.They are all over your arms and legs and your shoulders.How many
mosquitoes entered your bedroom?"

Wendy was shocked.

"Uh, too many lumps? Is this why Ryan could see through my trick at a glance? It seems as if I have to
find another way"

As she was contemplating this, Reese's voice interrupted her.

From the kitchen she called, "Wendy! Ray! Come and have breakfast."

"Okay."

Wendy napped for the better part of the day.

In the evening, after Ray fell asleep, she adorned herself in unusual clothes and was about to step out.

"Wendy, are you going out tonight?"

"Shh, Reese.Don't let Ray find out."

Reese was perplexed by Wendy's behavior.

Looking at Wendy's gear, she scowled and questioned, "Where are you going all dressed up like that?"

Wendy had painstakingly applied cool, gorgeous makeup on her face.



She wore a fancy leather jacket with studs, a pair of figure hugging leather pants and studded leather
boots.

She looked ultra-hot and charming.

"Reese, please don't ask.Anyway, I can take care of myself."

Reese had no choice but to say, "Then be careful."

Wendy nodded and sauntered out of the villa.

This time, she didn't show off in front of the No.1 Villa and instead, she just took a taxi and left.

In No.1 Villa, Luke called his brother, "Ryan!"

Luke had been lying in wait for Wendy to leave the villa for a long time.

He was basically spying on her.

When he saw Wendy leave, he rushed to the living room where Ryan was sitting on the sofa.

His hand was supporting his forehead and he was nodding off.

"Ryan! Wendy went out again."

"Okay!"

Luke asked with expectations, "Are we following her this time?"

"No."

"What?"



"Luke, please do me a favor."

"Okay, what is it?"

The next day, Wendy strolled home at five o'clock in the morning.

Coincidentally, she bumped into Ryan who had just walked out of the villa.

"Hello, Ryan.Are you going for a morning jog?"

"No! I'm waiting for you."

His voice was deep, gentle and affectionate.

Wendy blushed.

She covered her face and thought to herself, '’Why did he look at me in such an affectionate manner?’'

Ryan took a glance at her clothes and continued, "Come with me."

"Okay!"

He took her directly to his private garage.

It was the size of a football field.

Each car had its own special room with solid lock-up metal doors.

Wendy was confused."Why did you bring me here?"

Without saying a word, Ryan took out a small remote control from his pocket.



He pressed a button, and each door automatically opened, revealing a magnificent car inside.

Wendy's eyes widened.

‘'Oh my God! He really has so many cars" Wendy was enthralled by the wide range of cars that greeted
her.

She saw the luxury seven-seater that Ryan had used to pick Reese from the hospital, a Maybach
sports car that he often used, the Ferrari sports car that Luke had driven her to the hospital in and a
luxury limousine.

She was dazzled by the splendor of these dream cars.

Every type of prestigious car could be seen here.

There were more than ten luxury cars in total.

Wendy swallowed unconsciously.

"Ryan, are you showing off that you have so many cars? Are you trying to go on some much needed
ego trip?"

Ryan remained silent for a while.

He then pointed to the car in the corner and said, "That one is for you."

Wendy looked in the direction he pointed and was dumbfounded.

She was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly rushed over.

She ran around the car in circles then hugged it tightly!



"This is crazy.I never expected to see such a car in my lifetime.It's incredible!"

This amazing gesture both shocked and thrilled her.

She touched the car affectionately and looked at it as if she were admiring a lover.

"Oh my God! Bugatti Veyron was indeed a world-class sports car.Look at how streamlined it is! And the
exquisite decoration is unmatched.It was said that it only took 1.8 seconds for the car to speed up to
one hundred kilometers per hour and the maximum speed it could reach was a whopping 467km per
hour! Most importantly, it sells for about forty million dollars!"

After looking around, Wendy suddenly found that the car was brand new, and the membrane in the
interior had not been torn off.

She kept stroking the car, and couldn't take her eyes off this baby.

She didn't know when Ryan approached her and said, "Now, it's yours!"

"What? Huh?"

Wendy suspected that she had misheard.

"You heard me right.This car was delivered here by air last night.I bought it especially for you."

Wendy was gob smacked.She felt her heart skip a beat.

"You are giving it to me? Why?"
