Chapter 390:
It was Ryan’s fault for dredging up such painful recollections. Jenessa had nearly managed to forget how much he had once disdained her, explicitly denying her the chance to have his child. How could she possibly reveal her current situation and risk exposing her child to potential harm?
Ryan, taken aback, vividly remembered the harsh words he had once uttered. At the time, his comments were driven by guilt towards Maisie and a desire to reassure her, coupled with his mistaken belief that Jenessa was manipulative and unable to see her positive traits. But his perception of Maisie had drastically changed following a revealing incident involving a kidnapping, erasing any residual guilt he felt towards her.
As Ryan attempted to clarify his past actions, he began, “That was because p>
His explanation was cut short by the sudden ringing of a phone. Jenessa, regaining her composure, answered it.
“There’s a problem at the studio. We need you to come over,” her assistant stated urgently.
“Alright, I’ll be there right away,” Jenessa replied.
The studio was still in its nascent stages, requiring her direct oversight on many issues.
After ending the call, she quickly began to gather her things to leave.
Ryan, his brow furrowed, caught her arm and asked with hesitation, “Are you really in such a rush to leave me p>
Jenessa was in no mood to deal with Ryan. His mere presence was irritating her. However, aware that they had unresolved matters to discuss, she responded with restraint, “I have obligations right now. If you’re available tonight, we can sit down and talk then p>
“Okay,” Ryan accepted promptly. For him, any opportunity to connect with Jenessa was precious.

He then offered, “Wait a moment. My car is parked downstairs. I can drive you p>
Jenessa paused to consider. The issues at the studio demanded her immediate attention, and accepting a ride wouldn’t complicate her plans.
“Alright, thanks,” she said.
Both of them prepared and made their way downstairs. As they arrived, Jenessa noticed Rohan was also present. Upon seeing them, Rohan courteously greeted them.
Jenessa eyed him with a hint of suspicion and questioned, “Rohan, weren’t you supposed to be busy with your tasks? What are you doing here p>
Caught off guard, Rohan responded without thinking, “What tasks? I don’t have any p>
Ryan quickly intervened with a couple of fake coughs and shot Rohan a warning glance. He realized he had forgotten to brief Rohan beforehand.
Noticing Ryan’s signaling, Rohan swiftly corrected himself.
“Oh, right! I did have something to do last night p>
At that moment, everything clicked for Jenessa. She had been puzzled about how Ryan, who had been drinking the previous night, could have driven himself over. It turned out that Rohan had driven Ryan here and returned this morning to pick him up.
Feeling deceived, her irritation with Ryan grew, and she confronted him.
“Ryan, you purposely lied to me last night, didn’t you? You just wanted an excuse to stay at my place, right p>
The realization that she had been so easily duped, allowing Ryan into her home and caring for him throughout the night, frustrated Jenessa even more. She now felt utterly foolish.
Ryan cleared his throat and moved to open the backseat door for Jenessa, saying, “Let’s get in the car first. You have urgent matters to attend to, and we need to leave quickly p>
