Ryan Morgan: Love Contract - Chapter 56 MEOW

‘”Don’t worry

mom is trying to bait you into revealing what we did. Don’t fall for her tricks

” Ryan assured

casually hugging Rose.’

‘Rose was naturally embarrassed but she didn’t hide it

leaning on Ryan and admitted

“We were just hugging and talking. Mrs didn’t interrupt anything.’

‘”Alright

fasten your seat belt and we will go. We are already close to our home. I will prepare my special dinner for you

” Ryan’s mom replied with a smile to which Rose immediately proposed

“I can gladly help with cooking.”‘

‘”Aww… You are such a sweetheart. Are you sure Ryan doesn’t blackmail you to be with him?”‘

‘Ryan rolled his eyes at that but he didn’t comment

only ordering in a single word.’

‘”Drive.”‘

‘”Okay

okay

I was only joking. Don’t be mad

” Ryan’s mom apologized sincerely. “You two match well together.”‘

‘She gave him a wink and finally started the engine. He would stay annoyed at her if not for Rose who tilted his head and left a quick peck on his lips

wanting to cheer him up. Nothing worked better to lighten his mood than Rose’s sweetness.’

‘Just as they were driving out of the parking lot

Rose froze while looking outside of the window and called out excitedly

“Mrs. Morgan! Stop the car please!”‘

‘Ryan’s mom slammed on breaks

turning around confused but Rose already left the car

running out.’

‘”Rose!” Ryan shouted back at her but she didn’t stop

running towards two cats standing on the grass island in the middle of the parking lot.’

‘He didn’t hesitate and followed her.’

‘”Rose

what are you doing?” he questioned as he caught up to her but she only pointed at the black cat in front of her and replied happily

“I know the black one. She helped me find your room yesterday.”‘

‘”A cat helped you?”‘

‘Ryan found it hard to believe.’

‘”Yeah

she led the way for me. Without her I wouldn’t have reached your place so fast

” Rose explained and crouched

smiling at the black cat. “Hey kitty~ Do you remember me? Are you having fun with your friend?”‘

‘The two cats

one black and the other white sat upright while licking their paws when they both turned to Rose. They looked at her and Ryan before boldly walking up to her.’

‘Meow~’

‘They announced their presence and rubbed their heads against Rose’s legs

asking for attention. Naturally

Rose couldn’t resist and petted them

caressing them behind their ears.’

‘”Aww

you found kitties. Aren’t they cute?” Ryan’s mom drove up to them and also went out of the car

crouching next to Rose.’

‘She lifted the white one and placed it on her arm

rubbing it happily.’

‘”It’s so clean and elegant. I have always wanted to buy a cat for myself but I never had the time to do so

” Ryan’s mom commented.’

‘Ryan already knew where this was going so he rejected before the question even dropped.’

‘”There is no way we are taking those cats home. Absolutely not. They probably belong to someone else so don’t even think about it.”‘

‘That was only one reason why he didn’t want to get close to them. A thick aura of danger coiled around the two cats

making him shiver. At first

Ryan thought he was just imagining things but the more time he spent around them

the more sure he was. Those two cats were not normal.’

‘”You are right… The white one is called Isabella. She has a tiny collar around her neck with her name on it

” Ryan’s mom discovered.’

‘Rose checked as well and muttered right after

“The black one too. She is called Emily. They probably ran out from their home to have some fun.”‘

‘”Ah

I knew such sweeties couldn’t be wild cats

” Ryan’s mom lamented as she rubbed Isabella’s cheeks and finally placed her down.’

‘”Thank you once again for helping me yesterday

” Rose said

giving Emily one last scratch and also placed her on the ground. “I will let you two play in peace.”‘

‘Meow~’

‘Emily replied in satisfaction

purring at Rose but Ryan didn’t like it anymore

lifting Rose up and pulled her away.’

‘”What happened?” Rose questioned as she noticed his worried expression but he couldn’t find the right reply.’

‘What was he supposed to say? How could he tell her the two cute cats in front of him were dangerous? There was no way she would believe him. The only reason why he didn’t immediately leave was the lack of ill intent. The cats seemed to be friendly despite the murderous aura around them.’

‘He decided to trust his instincts

no matter how unreasonable they sounded.’

‘”We should get going else the dinner will be late

” Ryan suggested. “I want to spend some time with you after dinner.”‘

‘Both reasons were true so he avoided lying but the real truth was untouched.’

‘”Alright

” Rose nodded understandingly and waved at the cats as she walked back to the car.’

‘Ryan couldn’t help but watch the cats just in case anything happened and suddenly both of them glanced at him. They stared into his eyes with an intelligent gaze and moved

following them.’

‘He couldn’t help but act in alarm

putting Rose behind him but the cats ignored him and instead hopped inside the car through the open driver door

hopping to the back seats.’

‘”Hah

it seems like they want to go with us

” Ryan’s mom commented with a chuckle. “Shall we keep them?”‘

‘”Yes!”‘

‘”No!”‘

‘Rose and Ryan replied at the same time. It was obvious who was against that idea. Why would he bring danger to his own home?’

‘”Ryan~ Look how cute and smart they are. Let’s keep them

” Rose pleaded

hugging him to convince him.’

‘”So you are going to take them away from their family just because they entered into our car?” Ryan reasoned with her but Rose didn’t give up and opened the door

asking

“Do you want to stay with us?”‘

‘Meow~’

‘To everyone’s surprise

both cats nodded their heads like humans

laying down cutely on one seat. Rose and his mom were literally melting from cuteness.’

‘”Would they behave like this if they had a loving family waiting for them? I’m sure they are trying to find a new home

” Ryan’s mom countered and entered the car

deciding on a whim. “We are taking them home.”‘

‘Rose immediately brightened and pointed at the scene as if to use it as proof. “See? They said they want to come with us.”‘

‘She kissed him and entered the car

not letting him disagree once again. Having both his mom and girlfriend against him

he could only stay alert and protect the two in case his instincts were right.’

”They are too smart for cats…”

‘———’

‘”Lisa

what happened? You were not answering my calls from yesterday.”‘

‘When Lisa returned back to her apartment

Jennie was already waiting at her inside. Lisa didn’t reply anything and instead hugged Jennie tightly.’

‘She really needed someone for support in such hard times.’

‘”Lisa?”‘

‘”Don’t worry

just hug me

” Lisa finally spoke. “A lot of things happened but unfortunately I can’t tell you.”‘

‘With those words

Jennie got serious and pulled away while holding onto Lisa’s shoulders. “What happened? Is someone harassing you?”‘

‘”No

nothing like this

” Lisa replied with a bitter smile. “Let’s say I got an offer that I can’t reject.”‘

‘”What offer? Job offer?”‘

‘”Something like this. Because I can’t reject it

I will be leaving the country in about four days

” Lisa explained. “I have four days to settle everything before I leave.”‘

‘Jennie’s reaction was already expected. She was both speechless and dumbfounded.’

‘”W-what…? You are leaving the country? What about your businesses? Your properties? Your family and me?” Jennie questioned confused.’

‘Lisa already prepared her answer beforehand.’

‘”I will leave everything to you. This apartment

you can have it. I want you to manage my businesses and become the CEO in exchange for fifty percent shares in everything.”‘

‘Jennie’s eyes widened and instead of replying

she approached the bar and took out a bottle of whiskey

pouring herself a generous amount.’

‘It was quite a big responsibility so Lisa added

“Naturally

I will help you. I will stay in contact with you and answer all questions you might have. I just won’t be here physically.”‘

‘Gulp.’

‘Jennie drank the glass in one go and muttered seriously

“Tell me you are joking. There is no way you would willingly give up on everything you worked for many years. Don’t get me wrong

it’s a great offer for me but this is not you.”‘

‘”I wish I was joking but I’m a hundred percent serious

” Lisa assured

taking the bottle away from Jennie.’

‘She didn’t put it back but instead poured herself half of the glass

gulping it all in a similar fashion.’

‘”What job offer can make you give up on everything?”‘

‘Lisa gazed at the shadow of the sofa and shook her head

“I’m sorry

I can’t say.”‘

‘”What about Ryan? Did you give up on him as well?” Jennie questioned to which Lisa finally showed a complicated expression

giving away a hint.’

‘”So it’s about Ryan

” Jennie pointed out. “Don’t tell me he agreed to be with you and you will work for Elizabeth Morgan?”‘

‘”I cannot say the details… But he will also be leaving in four days. I’m sure we will interact with each other more often from now—” Lisa explained

revealing some information when she froze

feeling a sharp object piercing into her back.’

‘She leaned forward

walking towards the sink to clean her face and the feeling disappeared.’

‘It was a warning. Say any more and you will die. Miss Elizabeth’s guard already told her the rules beforehand. She can’t expose any secrets else they would get rid of her.’

‘Jennie didn’t notice her strange behavior and exclaimed

“So you really got a job offer to work for his grandma? Congrats!”‘

‘”So can you help me? Will you take over my businesses? You are the only one I can trust with it.” Lisa changed the topic

not revealing secrets anymore.’

‘She was already walking on a thin line with her life hovering above the abyss.’

‘”Well

as long as you can introduce your job to me

I can help

” Jennie agreed

looking happy for her.’

‘If only she knew that her future wasn’t as bright as she thought.’

‘”Alright

clear your schedule for the next four days. I will teach you everything you need to know.”‘

‘Sorry I’m late with chapter

I published a new novel after ending SC so I was busy with that. Will stabilize uploads quick!’
