Chapter 590: Knocking on Her Door at Midnight

The sound of the sea whizzes past his ears which makes atmosphere at the streets cozier. Ryan puts
his hands in the pockets, stopping his steps slightly. He looks at her seriously and says, “You really like
Adair.”

This time, he isn’t asking her a question, but instead he is declaring a statement.

Without evading his statement, Eunice admits, “You’re right, he’s a sweet boy.”

“Why?” He asks suddenly.

Eunice nearly forgets to react; it takes a few seconds for her to realize that he is asking her why she
likes Adair.

“No reason. I just feel he’s pure and innocent. A child’s heart is not as complicated as that of an adult.
Furthermore, a child is a gift from God. He has a good heart, so I’m especially fond of him.” Tang says
in a soft tone. Her eyes are filled with gentle and care, which she appears to be more of a soft woman
than usual.

Every woman is born with maternal instinct. At that moment, Ryan indeed feels this characteristic in
her.

There’s a strange feeling in his heart. This emotion has continuously appeared recently, which makes
him want to avoid reality unwittingly. He can’t really tell why, it’s just that the woman beside him seems
much different from usual.

Eunice leans at the railing by the seaside and looks at the dark and silent sea in a distance. When the
moonlight streams upon the sea, the tide reflects these moonlight, causing the glistening light of waves
to ripple. The view is as though a galaxy sprinkles on the ocean.



She grabs her phone out from her pocket and takes a picture of the sea. When she is about to put it
back into her pocket, she catches a glimpse at a man leaning against the railing. He puts his slender
left arm on the railing, and his right arm slightly bends as he is slowly smoking his cigarette. The night
wind blows and slightly messes his hair, but he doesn’t seem to care about it.

The street lights are not too bright, and most of them are faint yellowish. However, the light that falls on
him is even more mesmerizing than the ocean.

Before knowing Ryan, Eunice always thinks that a man’s attractiveness is based on his facial figures.
But after meeting him, she realizes that there is a kind of attractiveness that has nothing to do with
looks. It is about personality and charisma. It is about how he has the ability to attract and capture
people’s attention just by standing there.

The sparks produced by the cigarette on his fingertips are as if her mood right now. Maybe it’s because
of her obsession with his appearance, she quickly lifts her arm and snaps a photo of him.

“Click.” The sound of her phone buzzes in mid-air. Awkwardness hits her as she has forgotten to mute
her phone.

Then, their eyes meet and Eunice’s face glows extremely red. Her first reaction is... to immediately put
her phone back into her pocket.

Ryan stuns for a second, and his charming face disappears as he pulls a face in an instant, “Delete it.”

“What?” She pretends that nothing has happened just now.

“The photo.” His softly spits out these two words as he repeats his words again, “Delete it.”

“It is a nice shot though...” Somehow, Eunice does not want to delete the photo. She explains again, “I
found a perfect camera angle, and the lighting was on point too. You look good here.”



“I don’t like taking pictures.” His words are short and concise as he doesn’t want to say a word more.

Eunice stands still and doesn’t move. While she is taking the advantage to get over it, the man that is
leaning against the railing walks towards her.

The distance between them is not too far that it takes only three to five steps to reach her. His tall figure
blocks the light ray above her head, replacing it with his shadow.

Eunice raises her head and looks at his face, “What, what do you want?”

Facing this woman who is obviously afraid but doesn’t want to compromise, Ryan never says much
and directly reaches his hand into her pocket to grab her phone.

Eunice moves back several steps to avoid him, until her back touches the railing. Hence, she has no
choice but to stop her step.

As she keeps dodging him, Ryan becomes impatient. He stretches out his hand to grab both of her
wrists, and his other hand reaches into her pocket to get her phone. When he is about to take it out, a
soft voice sounds in a distance...

“Ryan, Eunice, what are you doing?”

Ryan’s movement becomes stiff, and so is Eunice. She immediately breaks free from his hand when he
isn’t paying attention. Then, she stuffs her phone back into her pocket and turns to Adair, “Ryan is just
playing around with Eunice. Are you done watching the sea?”

“Yeah, I feel a little cold now. I want to go back to the hotel.” Not sure if it is because of the breeze,
Adair’s nose seems a little stuffy.

Eunice worries that Adair will catch a cold, she tidies up her coat on him, “Alright, let’s go back now.”



Ryan watches her slipping away just like that. When Eunice and Adair pass through him, he notices the
slyness in her eyes.

Are you pleased?

When Adair isn’t around, you’ll have to delete that photo too.

On the road by the seaside, their shadows stretch long by the lights above their heads. Ryan follows
them at the back without any expression, but he adjusts his pace according to the two of them
thoroughly.

...

After a fifteen-minute walk back to the hotel, they take the elevator to the hotel room and she specially
orders Ryan, “The sea breeze tonight is very cool. Let Adair takes a hot bath later, or else he might
catch a cold.”

“Okay.” Ryan responds. He holds the kid’s hand and walks into the room.

Eunice returns to her room. Her room is located higher than theirs. When she looks out of the window,
it is the huge ocean that she has just passed by. She changes her clothes and stops when she
accidentally touches the cell phone in her pocket.

She takes out her phone and unlocks it. Her screen is still displaying the photo that she has taken
earlier. No matter how many times she looks at it, whether she sees it with her own eyes or through the
phone, she can’t resist his attractiveness.

Eunice looks at her phone for a while and puts it back. She lies on the sofa at the end of the bed and
falls into deep thought.



This sudden vacation to Q city is an opportunity to reunite and meet again ever since she returns to the
country. She hasn’t thought much about Ryan before this. She just feels that he is a mysterious and
formidable man. They are at a completely different level, hence they will not have much chance to
socialize with each other.

The only connection that they have now is the four hundred thousand dollars. After clearing her debt,
they will not see each other anymore.

But after splitting up, she has a strange feeling, an emotion that she doesn’t know how to express. Until
this trip to Q city, she has the chance to see his face again and spends time together. Everything is the
same as before, but at the same time it seems different too.

Things have changed unintentionally.

She starts staring attentively at this man, and automatically do minor things to make him happy. She
will also be lost in thought by his words, trying to understand the meaning behind it.

These behaviors have never occurred on her before.

Just as Eunice is still confused and thinking about it, her doorbell suddenly rings. She gets up, walks to
the door and asks carefully, “Who is it?”

“Me.” A familiar voice spreads to her ear.

She opens the door at ease, and unexpectedly the man is wearing a white robe, standing outside her
door with a pale face.
