Chapter 234 Dare to take my daughter's name one more time.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ryan was sitting in Catrin's cabin, his posture stiff as he waited for her to arrive. He had been informed that she was in a meeting, but the waiting stretched his patience thin.@@@@
"How long is it going to take more?" Ryan asked, his voice carrying a subtle impatience as he glanced at the assistant who stood nearby.
The assistant checked her watch and then politely replied, "The meeting should be ending soon, Mr. Foster. Probably five minutes more and Ma'am would be here anytime soon."
Ryan nodded curtly and checked on his own watch, the ticking seconds only adding to his restlessness. The assistant noticed his irritation and offered, "Mr. Foster, since there is still some time, would you like me to bring you some snacks or another cup of coffee while you wait?"
"No need," Ryan replied sharply, his tone edged with finality. "I am fine. If you have other matters to attend to, feel free to leave. I would appreciate some privacy."
The assistant hesitated for a moment, but knowing the identity of the man sitting in front of her, she nodded eventually. "Alright, Mr. Foster. I will be outside the cabin. Let me know if you need anything."
With that, she turned and left, leaving Ryan alone in the room.
A few minutes later, the door opened again, and Catrin stepped inside, her stride purposeful and her gaze locking with Ryan's immediately. "Did I make you wait for long?" she asked, her tone devoid of any apology.
Ryan looked up at her, shaking his head. "It's fine since you already mentioned about your meeting."
Catrin nodded, her expression cool as she turned to address the assistant standing behind her. "I will be busy for a while. Don't disturb us."
Ryan's expression cracked. The confidence he had held all this while faltered. He had wronged Arwen and he has come to realize it now. But he feared that it was already too late. Yet holding hope, he was trying to make himself believe that there is never too late for anything.
"Aunt Catrin," his voice came heavy with guilt. "I know I did things that more than wrong. But believe me, nothing I did was out of intention. I don't know how I should explain this when I did nothing to prove this ever, but Arwen is someone I can bear to miss. Not after I realized my feelings for her." He then paused and added again, "I might not have done something to deserve her in the past. But I promise, in future, it will be different. I will do everything for her. Please believe me."
Ryan had no plans for the future as to what he would do for Arwen, but at this moment, if asked, he was ready to pull Heaven and Earth together for her.
"Ryan —" Catrin had just opened her mouth to speak when the door of her cabin was pushed open, interrupting her thoughts and words.
"Catrin, did you check —" Idris paused halfway in his words when his eyes caught the presence of a third person there. His brows tugged in a frown before getting narrowed at him. He stepped inside, his gaze shifting to Catrin. "What is happening here?" he asked, his voice carrying the sharp hints of accusation.
"Idris, he —"
"I asked what is he doing here?"
Ryan stood up and said, "Uncle, I came here to talk about Arwen and —"
Before he could finish, a sharp slap rang in the air, freezing everything around.
"Dare to take my daughter's name one more time and I will make sure you regret it."
