Chapter 165: Deserving

In an instant, the sound of an egg breaking could be heard clearly. Gerard's face was completely pale white. Ryan had destroyed Gerard's bloodline.

"AGHH!"

The sound of a man screaming in pain like a pig moaning echoed through the room. Gerard felt an unbelievable pain. He held his testicles and circled the floor.

Ryan made sure that Gerard could no longer force himself to other women.

That day, he made Gerard officially become an eunuch. Maybe this was the right time for him to repent.

"Damn… You... How dare you!!!" Gerard grunted in pain, using the rest of his strength he looked at Ryan with a look of hatred. He really wanted to skin Ryan alive.

"If I still see you in this city next time, I will kill you," Ryan said with a serious face.

After hearing this, Gerard didn't dare to look at Ryan anymore.

Ryan then said one more time, "I will let you go from here. If you want to take revenge, come anytime and I'll serve you. But if you dare to touch Irina or her family, I will hunt you and your family. I will hang your corpses in front of your house!"

Ryan then brought Irina back to her house. Seeing the young lady coming back, Mrs. Susan cried uncontrollably. The two of them immediately embraced. Mrs. Susan couldn't stop apologizing after that.

The warriors that Jason brought with him were no longer there, but the chaos they caused still remained. Mrs. Susan would not allow her young lady to take care of all this.

These were only minor problems. The most important thing for them now was that Irina made it back home safely.

"Are you hungry? I'll prepare something," Mrs. Susan said quickly.

Seeing Irina nodded, Mrs. Susan immediately went to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, when he looked at Irina's pale face, Ryan felt his heart ache. He then carried his soulmate to the sofa.

The two of them just sat there holding hands without saying anything.

After they had their dinner together, Irina felt really tired and wanted to go back to her room to sleep.

Ryan then carried her to their room and laid her down gently on the bed.

"Rest well, honey. You don't have to go to the office tomorrow," Ryan said in a soft tone. He then kissed Irina's forehead with a sincere smile.

"Yeah," Irina just nodded slowly.

"Then... Have a good rest," Ryan said before standing up. After closing the window's blinds, he walked towards the door about to leave the room.

"Wait..." Irina suddenly caught Ryan's hand.

"What's wrong, dear?" Ryan looked confused.

"Please… wait until I fall asleep," Irina said in a very low voice.

Ryan then smiled and sat beside Irina as the woman laid her back to rest. "You don't need to worry, I'll wait until you fall asleep. Have a nice dream,"

Irina blushed, her heart felt warm.

After closing her eyes for a moment, she said, "Ryan... I can't sleep,"

"Hahaha then let's watch TV."

Irina was still worried about the Kruger family.

The power and influence of the Kruger family was no joke. That was why a mere messenger like Jason dared to do whatever he wanted. It was all because of the Kruger family's extended reputation.

That family could shake the earth and turn the sky dark in just a snap of a finger. The thoughts about them made Irina unable to sleep.

Seeing Irina's restless face, Ryan slid his arm under her head and hugged her shoulder while he continued to watch the TV in their room.

"Honey, you don't have to worry. Your husband is here and will always protect you. The Kruger family won't be able to touch you anymore. They don't have the strength to fight me."

But Irina still frowned. Ryan's words only sounded like temporary comfort to her. What worried her even more was that Ryan managed to kill both elite warrior swordsmen and Jason to save her. When the Kruger knew Ryan attacked Gerard, they definitely wouldn't stay silent.

Irina silently let out a sigh. The only solution she could come up with was to apologize to the Kruger family and return to Batavia. After she ended her relationship with Ryan, they shouldn't be targeting her husband anymore.

After she returned to Batavia, she would fulfill her family's agreement and marry Gerard.

"Why do you still look worried like that?" Ryan pretended to look displeased. "If you continue like that, I will punish you like before. Do you still doubt your husband?

Irina just stared silently at Ryan. She couldn't help thinking about their first meeting. This man was just a harsh, sweaty-smelling chicken noodle seller. But after he helped her develop a perfume and drove away the perverted boy who was chasing her, she began to change the way she looked at him. 

Not to mention that Ryan also saved her from an assassin's attack, accompanied her to Pavona City and secretly helped her to secure lucrative employment contracts. All of the things she had gone through together with him flashed through Irina's mind.

When Ryan teased her, touched her, and made out with her all night, left an unforgettable impression on her.

At this time, Irina finally realized that she had fallen in love with Ryan after living together with the man.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Ryan looked at Irina while the woman continued to be silent. He didn't know why but Irina just gave him a warm smile. The man was confused, why didn't his wife say a word to him?

"Ryan, do you remember when we first met?" Irina asked.

"Of course I remember! You were threatening to eliminate me!" Ryan said with a laugh. At that time, he did not expect to be invited to marry by a beautiful woman after he arrived in Crimea.

Irina then said with a flushed face, "You were the one who forced me to say that,"

She then reminisced about the past. Irina remembered the time when her company needed money and a mysterious person from the underground world asked her to marry Ryan as a condition of lending the money to her. 

Although she was initially unwilling to do that, Irina was forced to agree for her ambition. But she did not think that this person would become a prince who really stole her heart.

If Ryan had known that, he could easily guess that it was the Eclipse. His enemy tried to make Irina as His weakness. If Eclipse's plan went smoothly, Ryan would fall in love with Irina and the God of war Nergal would become easy to control.

Eclipse realized this long ago— women were truly the God of war's weakness. At that time, Eclipse thought that women were Ryan's biggest weakness too.

Irina was poisoned and attacked several times, but her fate said she would survive it all. Ryan managed to save her every time she was in danger. The two of them became closer from all of the calamity that happened.

The couple began to talk about their first meeting and how Ryan always saved her.

From time to time, Irina always smiled sweetly and Ryan would rub her head with affection. Feeling embarrassed, Irina beat Ryan softly like a child.

'Is this happiness?' Irina really felt warm, she never thought falling in love would be this amazing.

Time flew and without realizing it, an hour had passed. Ryan then said in a soft tone, "Honey, it's getting late and you need to rest. Let's take a day off from work tomorrow and just enjoy the day alone. How does that sound?"

Irina nodded slowly. But when she saw Ryan was about to stand up, Irina pulled his hand and said from under the blanket, "You will sleep here today."

After saying that, Irina's heart beat violently and her face flushed red.

Sleeping together?

Ryan was surprised then he looked at Irina while she was hiding under the blanket.

Would his wait end today?

A smile rose in Ryan's face, it seemed like tonight would be a long night.

"Okay," Ryan did not hesitate. He immediately got into the blanket with a smile. Less than three seconds and he was already beside Irina, hiding under the same blanket as her.

Seeing Ryan's body from under the blanket, Irina panicked. "Please turn off the lights,"

Oh? Did she want to be in the dark? No problem!

Faster than lightning, Ryan immediately turned off the light and lied back on the bed. The couple was silent for a long time. The room was pitch black and quiet, making the sound of Irina's heartbeat literally echoed in both of their ears.

Ryan slowly grasped Irina's hand. When their hands touched, he felt Irina suddenly tremble.

However, he didn't think that Irina would suddenly grab his hand.

Green light!

Ryan felt so happy. He quickly rolled on top of Irina.

Irina just closed her eyes. Though she felt a little scared, she had decided that she would accept Ryan's love tonight.
