Chapter 166 Tell Her Everything
The next morning. When Ryan woke up, out of habit he starched out his hand to touch the person beside him. Elena used to move around when she slept, so he always used to pull her into his embrace out of habit.
But this time the place beside him was empty. There was no one beside him. Ryan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed in an instant. He looked around but there wasn’t any trace of the woman.
Ryan anxiously stood up and went to the washroom to check. She wasn’t there. Then he went to the cloakroom but she wasn’t there either. Where did she go?
Ryan’s mind was blank. Without thinking anything, he rushed downstairs all the way to kitchen. Elena wasn’t there also. Mrs. Baker saw Ryan anxiously running over here even without sitting in a wheelchair. She felt something must have happened. “Young Master, what happen?”
“Mrs. Baker, did you see Elena?” Ryan quickly asked her. “Madam? Isn’t she sleeping in her room?” Mrs.
Baker asked with uncertainty. So many things happened yesterday and it was indeed hard to accept so Mrs. Baker thought Elena would be still sleeping.
“She is not there!” After saying that, Ryan went to the hall and called Xavier over. “Did you see Elena?” Xavier frowned. “No! I am here since 6 o’clock in the morning but I haven’t see Madam yet.”
Hearing this, Ryan became even more anxious. She was still injured. Where did she go early in the morning?
Seeing Ryan like this, Mrs. Baker knew that he must be very anxious, so she went forward to comfort him. “Don’t worry, Young Master. Madam must be at somewhere nearby. We will find her.”
Just as the three of them were talking, the backdoor of the villa suddenly opened and Elena walked in with a bunch of flowers in her hand. Looking that she was safe and sound, Ryan let out a long breath. He went forward and hugged her tightly. “Where did you go? Why didn’t you tell me?”
He could not describe his feelings right now. He had never been so nervous before. For a moment he really thought that she would leave him.
When this thought came to his mind, he felt that his heart stopped beating. Elena did not say anything nor did she look at him. She didn’t even dodge his hug. She stood where she was without moving.
“Madam, why didn’t you inform us when you were going out? Sir was very anxious when he couldn’t find you.” Mrs. Baker knew that she was still angry. But she couldn’t help but speak for Ryan.
Elena still did not explain where she went. She just stood there with a cold expression. After thinking for a whole night, although Elena knew that he had his own difficulties and reasons, she still couldn’t overcome the knot in her heart. She still felt that he didn’t trust her.
If he had believed her, he would have tried to tell her. But he didn’t. Ryan looked at her expression and knew that she was still thinking about yesterday’s matter. But he didn’t know what words he should use to explain her.
“Elena…”
Before he couldn’t say anything, Elena opened. her mouth. “I know what you want to tell me. I understand you have your own reasons. You don’t trust me so you don’t intend to tell me anything. But I am unable to accept this fact. right now. So I hope you can give me some time.”
Elena’s voice was frighteningly cold. Ryan had never heard her voice this cold before. ‘It is not that I don’t trust you. It’s just that I don’t want you to get hurt for me.’ Ryan wanted to say this but his voice could not come out of his throat. After Elena finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Ryan looked at her back. “I never thought that this wheelchair would become a gap between Elena and me. Actually, I thought about telling Elena many times before. But every time I saw her taking care of me so meticulously, I couldn’t bear it. I just feel happy seeing her fighting for me. But I just didn’t think that this lie would create a hole in our relationship.”
He was very regretful. If he knew this would be the outcome then he would never have kept this matter from Elena.
Mrs. Baker knew that Ryan was feeling bitter in his heart. Actually, half a year after the accident, his legs have had recovered. But in order to find out what was going on, he pretended to be a cripple for four years. No one could understand Ryan’s hard work.
The reason why he didn’t tell Elena was because he didn’t want her to worry. Once Roman found out, only Elena would be injured. Mrs. Baker was very clear about this matter.
“Young Master, you did not do anything wrong. It was because Madam loves you very much that made her so angry. You should explain it properly later. Madam is not that kind of unreasonable person.”
In the evening, Ryan went to their bedroom. He saw Elena was sitting on the bed silently. She had a lot on her mind.
“Are you still angry with me?” Ryan asked carefully. Since she already knew, there was nothing to hide. This was the last line of defense between the two of them. They had no secrets. Elena did not pay attention to Ryan at all and covered herself in the blanket. She didn’t want to see him.
Ryan looked at her action and found it somewhat funny. He then stuck his head into the blanket and said. “Alright, alright. Don’t be angry anymore. I am sorry. This is my fault. Now that you know my biggest secret, I won’t hide anything anymore.”
“I’m angry because you won’t tell me anything. You don’t have a shred of trust in me. We are already husband and wife. After being together for so long, don’t you know what kind of person I am? How could I casually reveal your secret?”
Elena sat up and looked at the man in front of her. She was very angry. Thinking about how. she had been serving this man during this period of time, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
Thinking about this, many times when they got intimate, she felt that Ryan’s legs were moving. But she never thought it in this way. Now she knew the truth, she could not help but get angry at her own foolishness.
“Yes, yes, yes. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have hid it from you. I hope you can forgive me. I hurt you because I was too cautious.” Ryan knew that his wife was very easy to coax, but there was one more thing he didn’t know if he should tell her.
“Since you have already said so, if I found out that you are hiding something from me next time, I will never forgive you.”
After Elena finished speaking, Ryan knew that this woman was no longer angry. He might as well tell her everything. If she found out in the future, he would really lose this lovely wife.
