Five Years Raising Her True Love's Child Chapter 11
On the contrary, Sylvia always beamed at me, her eyes swimming with adoration. "From the day I joined your company, I thought you were incredible. As it turned out, you truly are. "Don't push me away just yet, Ryan. I know you're still living in the shadow of your past relationship, and your first instinct is to run. But I'm a pretty good catch myself, aren't I, Ryan?"Sylvia was a pretty good catch. She was diligent, proactive, and someone who met life's challenges head-on. Above all, she possessed a vibrant energy that I lacked. She made my world feel a little brighter and more interesting. However, I couldn't be sure if what I felt was love, so I never gave her a definitive answer. My silence hurt Sylvia a little, though she shook it off almost immediately. "Let's go grab dinner!"It never crossed my mind that I would run into Nathan at the restaurant. He was the spitting image of a street urchin—dressed in ill-fitting clothes, his cheeks smudged with dirt, clutching a san

A single tear slipped from Chelsea's eye, landing on the back of my hand. It was scalding hot against my skin, but my heart had already turned to ice. I lost count of how many times I had sat alone at home, staring at the headline about Chelsea and Lucas. I used to overanalyze every word and pore over every photo, feeling disgusted with myself for still caring. But that was then. That marriage—which was nothing more than years of brainwashing myself—was finally over. "Is there nothing I can do to make this right, Ryan? I've realized my mistakes, and I've already punished Nate. I know I haven't done right by you all these years."I didn't utter a word, so the room fell into a heavy silence. The message finally hit home—I was no longer willing to waste even a single second on her. Bursting into a flood of tears, she staggered to the door. Before she could step through the threshold, I called out to her. Chelsea's eyes lit up with a sliver of hope as she turned around to look

Flustered, Clarice practically bolted before I could respond. I had no choice but to chase her, only for her to slip and twist her ankle."Can you walk on it?" I asked. I already had my back turned toward her, intending to give her a piggyback ride. "I'm okay. Don't worry about it." Refusing to look at me, she began to limp away. I sighed and, without giving her the chance to refuse, pulled her onto my back and carried her all the way to my room. "Do you like me?" she murmured, as if she would cry her eyes out if I said no. "I'm a divorcé, you know that."Clarice was in charge of my affairs, so she naturally knew all about my marriage and how badly I'd been treated. "I don't care," she whispered.Her voice was so soft that it was buried under a loud, urgent banging on the door. Clarice tried to get up to answer it, but I pinned her down and walked out instead. The moment I swung the door open, the heavy stench of alcohol hit me. "Ryan... can I come in?" It was Chelse

Life carried on as usual. My company was making incredible strides. Clarice was back to being my biggest fangirl and, on several occasions, secured investments for me. At times, I found it strange. She was just a junior assistant. Where on earth was she getting all these connections? Yet, she would give me an unreadable look and stick her tongue out at me. "That's a trade secret, boss."Fair enough. Or so I thought, until I walked out of the office one evening and caught Clarice clinging to one of our new investors. "You're the best! I get cold feet every time I see Ryan's ice-cold face. How could I ever tell him how I feel?" she whined.I looked up and immediately retracted my foot. I was frozen in place, unsure whether to walk past them or retreat into the office. Neither of them noticed me. The man caressed Clarice's cheek and teased, "Isn't this what you chose for yourself? Here I thought you had him wrapped around your finger since you practically begged me to come back

"Nate." Nathan's biological father, Lucas, trailed in behind Chelsea. He was her first love, who was simultaneously familiar and a total stranger to me. Lucas looked at me with such animosity it felt as though he wanted to kill me with his eyes.I scoffed. "Why would I treat him any differently? He's not my son. Besides, you don't seem like you're doing any better as his mother. What gives you the right to criticize me?"Chelsea was anything but a model parent. In our six years of marriage, the only thing I couldn't do for her was bring Nathan into the world—everything else had fallen entirely on my shoulders. She would get annoyed when Nathan cried or made a fuss and complained that he was unreasonable. She would also lose her temper when he fell ill. "How on earth are you taking care of Nate? He's sick. Whoever caused the problem should deal with it. I swear you just don't view him as your own, Ryan!"Chelsea always made it sound so righteous, but in reality, it was just a

Chelsea smashed the items in front of her and snarled, "Are you out of your mind?" I was out of my mind, but I had also truly seen the light. "Chelsea, in all the years I've been at home, I haven't spent a single cent of your money, and I raised Nathan by myself. "I'm not charging you for my labor because everything I did, I did out of love. Everything I owe you is right here, so spare me."This was the greatest act of kindness I could do for both of us. "Must you draw such a clear line between us, Ryan? I've told you countless times. Nate is still a child. What happened was just an accident. "You've thrown your tantrum. Haven't you had enough?"I couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so I turned around and left. The same group of people was still gathered at the front desk. As soon as they spotted me, they plastered sycophantic smiles on their faces. "Watch your step, Mr. Sterling. We look forward to your next visit, Mr. Sterling." I was well aware that their sudde
