Swept Into a Fairytale Marriage

Chapter 91 It’s Really the Wrong Person

The ring was like a needle, piercing Germaine’s heart!

To her, it directly severed the last thread of possibility. In reality, Adrian had always maintained his distance and never offered her any chance.

His serious expression made Germaine’s heart skip a beat, her face paling slightly as embarrassment washed over her. She felt utterly lost.

“Take it away.” Adrian said, his lips parting slightly as he spoke in a low, magnetic voice that sounded chilling. “This matter ends here.”

Germaine dared not hesitate. She picked up the breakfast and left, feeling an indescribable sense of rejection–not just about the breakfast but about herself.

If she had confessed her feelings earlier, without waiting or dragging it out, the position of Mrs. Locke wouldn’t have been occupied by someone else, right? After all, what mattered was being in the right place at the right time.

There was such a formidable rival, yet Germaine didn’t even know who it was! Losing felt so begrudging!

In the design department on the 11th floor, the rain continued to fall outside, its gentle patter a beautiful melody to Farrah. She felt quite accomplished this morning.

Mr. Moonlight had sent her a message on Twitter, asking what she was doing.

Farrah

h was excited and quickly replied, “I’m overflowing with inspiration today. I just got to the office and am ready to dive into design.”

Mr. Moonlight was pleased for her and replied shortly after, I’ll get out of your hair then, O Mighty One, I have something to tell you–I’m planning to come to Ronson City. Can we meet?”

Yes, their mentor–apprentice relationship had always taken place virtually. Although they had connected and discussed design for a long time, they had never met in person.

Farrah was a bit surprised to see this message and quickly asked, “You’re coming all this way?”

He responded. For work.”

She felt relieved. Meeting a man specifically for a discussion, especially alone, felt a bit awkward. However, if it was for work, she could accept it.

So, Farrah happily agreed, saying they could make plans once he arrived.

Mr. Moonlight replied with a thumbs–up emoji.

In the next two hours, Farrah immersed herself in her design work. The spiderweb she saw that morning felt like it had opened up a new world for her, igniting her creativity.

Two hours later, she was at the large printer in the common area, preparing to print her materials when she unexpectedly ran into Ryan. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Just as she was about to greet him, Ryan asked angrily “Farrah, I really didn’t expect you to be so reckless!”

“What?” She looked puzzled.

“Why did you tell Mr. Locke about my issues with Riley Ryan was furious but restrained himself, knowing

they were at work. “Even if I was in the wrong, that’s a private matter. Why do you think I’m working so hard? It’s all for a better life for Riley and the kid!”

Farrah was taken aback, but she grasped the main point–had Adrian scolded Ryan?

“Don’t get your emotions involved in this. If a marriage isn’t working out, it’s the responsibility shared by both people! I don’t know what Riley told you, but you can’t just blame me while thinking she’s all perfect.”

Adrian was standing in the corner with his hands in his pockets. He had paused at the sound of their conversation. His noble features showed no emotion.

Farrah said firmly. “Ryan, are you blaming me now? And then you’ll blame Riley when you get home? Don’t you ever consider your own faults?* –

“If your wife and your mother have a strained relationship, isn’t it your fault as the intermediary?” Farrah restrained her tone. “Let me tell you, if you treat Riley poorly, I’ll make sure you lose your job! Do you know what postpartum depression is?”

“So, you’re really the one who tattled on Mr. Locke?” Ryan became even angrier. “How immature can you be? Mr. Locke is incredibly busy. For him, time is money! If I lose my job, are you going to support my child?”

“If yo

you want Mr. Locke to stop seeking you out and to keep your job, you need to handle your marriage. issues well!* Farrah took the opportunity to advise him, “I just want the best for you both, that’s all!”

Ryan instantly came to his senses. Farrah was no ordinary employee!
