After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 937: Zoe Lewis, Who Put You Up to This?

Ryker looked at Zoe Lewis, seeing her sitting at the dining table with a beaming smile, as if she had no objections to them getting their marriage license.

Ryker scoffed internally, as if he didn’t know she was pretending!

She approached him with ulterior motives, definitely not because she liked him. Her heart was set on her celebrity-like first love!

Ryker’s gaze turned cold. He went to wash his hands, and when he came back, his mother arranged for him to sit next to Zoe Lewis.

Mrs. Zuo looked at the golden couple at the table, her voice full of joy: "Let’s eat!"

Ryker extended his chopsticks, picked up some meat, and placed it in his own bowl.

Mrs. Zuo tapped his hand: "Don’t just eat by yourself. It’s Little Zoe’s first time at our home, take care of her."

The meat Ryker had picked was redirected into Zoe Lewis’s bowl.

Zoe Lewis’s smile was flawless, showing no sign of the argument and tears from the morning. Her voice was crisp and sweet: "Thank you, Ryker. You had a tough day at work, let me serve you."

She served Ryker various dishes with the demeanor of a girlfriend.

By the end of the dinner, Ryker’s face was dark.

As soon as they finished eating, and the servants started clearing the table, Ryker pulled Zoe Lewis into his room, pushed her against the door, and through gritted teeth, asked: "What exactly are you trying to do?"

This could end up harming him!

Zoe Lewis didn’t speak, just quietly looked up at him. After a long while, she reached out, touched his face, and softly said: "You’ve suffered."

All the strength Ryker had held was suddenly shattered!

She’s touching him again?

And while sober!

Ryker closed his eyes, calming his heartbeat, before gently speaking: "Changed your tactic? Did you get the secret you were after today?"

Zoe Lewis could only play dumb: "What are you talking about? What secret did I ask about?"

"Haven’t you always been curious about me? Our first ’chance’ encounter was premeditated, right? Zoe Lewis, who sent you?"

Zoe Lewis was just about to speak when Ryker continued: "Don’t tell me it’s not true; I won’t believe it."

"No, I wasn’t going to say that. I was going to say, you’re too close to me."

Initially, Ryker only had his palm on her shoulder, pressing her against the door. Now his whole body leaned in, pressing with surprising strength, making Zoe Lewis suspect he intended to squish her into a pancake.

Ryker knew their closeness was too intimate at the moment, but he didn’t move.

He pressed against Zoe Lewis, casually asking: "Don’t you like me? Don’t you like this?"

If anyone else said this, it would sound rogue-like. But from him, it was like a chaste monk speaking.

Zoe Lewis’s face quickly turned red: "When did I ever say I liked you? Don’t flatter yourself! We’re just friends!"

"Friends? Then when my mom asked us to get the marriage license, you didn’t object? You just sat there smiling foolishly?"

"Auntie was being so enthusiastic; I felt it would be impolite to dampen her spirits."

"So, it’s okay to let me suffer?"

"I didn’t! I even brought generous gifts for Auntie; your family surely gained from it!"

"Our family isn’t short on money."

Zoe Lewis was at a loss for words.

The room plunged into a strange silence, the atmosphere filled with subtle ambiguity.

Zoe Lewis was pinned and restrained by him, unable to move, deeply regretting going upstairs with him. How could she let him drag her like that? Wasn’t this too intimate? She wasn’t used to it!

Ryker remained calm and composed, softly saying: "Prepare yourself."

"Huh? For what?"

"Tomorrow, the marriage license!"
