Chapter 472:
“Ryan, why are you in such a hurry? Did I say that I wouldn’t agree p>
At that moment, a complicated expression crossed Ryan’s typically stoic face. He stood frozen for a few seconds before snapping out of it. His eyes lit up with astonishment.
Did she really agree?
Ryan focused intently on Jenessa’s face, determined not to miss any nuance in her expression.
“Jenessa, what did you just say? Did I hear you right?” he whispered, sounding like he was scared he might be in a dream, and moving could snap him out of it.
Ryan couldn’t believe his ears, prompting Jenessa to burst into laughter.
She pursed her lips, her tone serious as she repeated, “I’m saying, for the child’s sake, I’m willing to give you another chance. Let’s try again p>
Ryan finally realized he hadn’t misheard. A rush of joy flooded his heart like colorful bubbles. Never had he felt such happiness.
“Jenessa!” Ryan exclaimed, a smile spreading across his face as he moved to embrace her.
“Easy there, don’t get too excited. I have conditions,” Jenessa interjected slowly, lifting her hand to stop him.
Nothing could dampen Ryan’s excitement at that moment. He leaned forward, eyes sparkling with anticipation, and said, “Whatever you want, I’ll do it. Just name your terms p>
Suppressing a chuckle, Jenessa replied seriously, “I haven’t decided yet. I’ll let you know later. It depends on how you perform over the next few days. Let’s focus on your grandma’s birthday party first p>

Ryan’s excitement caught her off guard. She actually hadn’t planned to set any conditions; she just didn’t want him to get too comfortable.
Jenessa had suffered a lot because of Ryan. Now that she was willing to give him another chance, she needed to protect herself and keep an escape route open. She couldn’t afford to be hurt by him a second time.
“I’ve already sent out the invitations for Grandma’s birthday party. Everything is in motion. No need to worry,” Ryan assured Jenessa with a smile, noticing she was still concerned about his grandmother.
He couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret for not embracing his beloved just moments ago. Still, he remained optimistic. He believed that with enough effort and genuine sincerity, Jenessa would eventually fall in love with him again.
They continued to chat and laugh, their words weaving a soft, sweet melody in the air.
After a pleasant while, Ryan stood up and took his leave. Jenessa tossed and turned all night, unable to find peace after the decision she had made earlier that evening. Restlessness consumed her every moment. Whenever she closed her eyes, vivid images of a future where their small family of three lived happily together flashed through her mind. This was her deepest longing, something she had yearned for endlessly.
Next door, Ryan was in the same boat, wrestling with similar feelings. While Ryan and Jenessa were in high spirits, Evelyn found herself in a dismal mood. She never anticipated that after leaking Sloane and Richard’s intimate photos, the public response would be eerily silent. The internet remained surprisingly calm, devoid of the uproar she had anticipated.
“You incompetent fools! I paid you to spread those rumors about Sloane and Richard! Why haven’t I seen Sloane getting scolded online yet?” Evelyn’s voice rang out with frustration, her face contorted with anger.
Her subordinates looked helpless, almost on the verge of tears.
