Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 8

When they met again, Nathan was 17, and Audrey was just 12.

The girl who had been stabbed twice while saving Nathan sat propped up on the hospital bed.

Once again, she rejected the arrangements made by the Lambert family.

The frail girl spoke earnestly and calmly, “Those who aren’t expected to achieve much should stay away from the lives of others and focus on bettering themselves. That way, they won’t harbor a unrealistic expectations. Please, I’m asking you and the Lambert family to stay out of my life.

The intense frustration that once weighed heavily on Ryan’s heart seemed to ease gradually with the girl’s serene words.

At the time, he secretly went against the Lambert family’s wishes. He misled the Franklin family into believing that if they raised Audrey under the guise of repaying a debt, the Lambert family would support the Franklin family.

This was the only time Ryan ever interfered in Audrey’s life.

Since then, he started paying close attention to the girl who was determined to “better herself“. He watched as the once dirty and frail girl began to shine brightly.

In her second year of junior high, she was selected by Sheysea University’s Mathematical Olympiad team. She became the record holder for getting full marks in every test.

In her first International Mathematical Olympiad, she won a gold medal. She became Sheysea’s most famous prodigy.

He knew about every advancement, achievement, and award she received. He watched every one of her shining moments.

That included the passionate and flamboyant love between Audrey and Nathan.

Ryan lowered his gaze, staring at the faint, flickering glow on his fingertips. His breath misted in the cold air, concealing his expression.

Audrey returned to her room with the bottle of water.

As she took a sip, she noticed her phone on the bed vibrating urgently.
