After Betrayal: Lightning Marriage to Mr. Enigmatic-Chapter 941: Thoughts by Day, Dreams by Night

"Ryker’s back, did you drop her off?"

"Yeah."

"Come and see, this is the dragon your girlfriend gave, it’s really beautiful! I saw this dragon at Star Region Mall, and it’s worth a hundred thousand yuan. Your girlfriend is so generous!"

"She’s not my girlfriend."

Ryker explained with a headache, "We’re barely even friends."

"She likes you, I can tell. You should quickly bring such a good girl home. If someone else snatches her up, you’ll be left crying!"

"She doesn’t like me, you’ve misjudged it."

"Son, be more confident. You inherited all the good traits from your dad and me. How could anyone not like you!"

Mrs. Lewis, visibly excited, didn’t care about her son’s expression and pulled him to sit on the sofa, chattering away, "Come here and help mom decide where to place this dragon. Our display case is already full. Maybe you could toss that lump of coal you dug up and replace it with this little goldfish!"

The display case at the Lewis home was filled with an array of dazzling treasures, each appearing highly valuable, except for a huge lump of black coal that seemed out of place.

"No way, anything else can be tossed, but no one touches my coal."

Ryker had a special attachment to the coal. During his toughest times, it was the thing that accompanied him and watched him grow.

He didn’t care about the little goldfish; he only cared for his lump of coal.

"Then there’s no place to put it! How about this, put this dragon in your room and you can cuddle it to sleep."

Ryker was speechless.

He’d have to be crazy to cuddle the goldfish Zoe Lewis gave him to sleep. It wasn’t enough that she hugged him to sleep, now it’s her dragon’s turn?

He stood up and headed upstairs. "Next time, for gifts, don’t give cash."

Mrs. Lewis was a bit nervous, "Why? Does your wife not like it? Does she think I’m too tacky?"

"No, you gave so much, it’s heavy. How is she supposed to carry it? Aren’t you afraid someone will snatch it from her?" With so much money, if Zoe took it back to the Lewis Family, her cousin would certainly take it away.

Mrs. Lewis breathed a sigh of relief. She figured that a young girl who could give a pure gold dragon wouldn’t mind receiving cash directly.

"Tsk tsk, still saying she’s not your girlfriend, look how much you care about her!"

Mrs. Lewis happily chirped, "A bit of weight doesn’t matter. I just like the feel of cash, and I bet she likes it too! I’m doing this for you. If you made more effort, I wouldn’t have to try so hard."

Ryker was already tired of correcting the "girlfriend" issue. Even if he corrected it a hundred times, it would be useless!

He went upstairs, took a shower, changed clothes, and returned to his room, only to find the goldfish lying on his bed.

In his mind, he unwittingly pictured Zoe Lewis hugging him to sleep, as if lying on his bed wasn’t the goldfish but Zoe herself.

Ryker felt like he’s been haunted by illusions of her recently. Shaking his head, he picked up the little goldfish, put it with the tie and shirt she bought, and stuffed them into the drawer, not wanting to see them again.

Seeing them just made hallucinations more likely.

However, some things can’t be hidden just by stashing them away.

After falling asleep, Ryker in his dreams met the little girl who gave him a headache.

No matter how he tried, he couldn’t shake her off. She kept hugging him, refusing to let go, rubbing her face against his chest, and even kissed his face eventually. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ryker woke up abruptly from the dream.

Upon waking, he found it was actually the cat his mom raised, which had climbed onto his bed and licked his face.
