Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 1103:

Ryland knew it wouldn’t be a big deal. “She cares about me more than my own parents. She didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, so don’t take it personally. If something’s bothering you, just tell me. Don’t keep it in.”

Amanda leaned in closer. “You’re so sweet, you know that?”

Ryland clicked his tongue. “Stop being sarcastic.”

“I’m not,” Amanda said, resting her chin in her hand, her eyes full of admiration. “I really think you’re sweet.”

Ryland didn’t say anything, just quietly put away the first-aid kit as his ears slowly turned red.

People always said Amanda was a naive heiress who had fallen on hard times. But Ryland thought her innocence was just a way to get people to do what she wanted.

“Are you starving?” he asked.

Amanda blinked, looking confused. “Huh?”

“Are you in a hurry to eat?”

Amanda felt like he was up to something, but she shook her head.

Ryland picked her up with his uninjured arm, holding the first-aid kit in the other. They made their way back to the bedroom and shut the door.

After a long time, Amanda rushed out of the bedroom. “Oh no, my stew!” Ryland had just taken another shower and then eaten all the burnt stew she had made.

The next day, Ryland showed up at the construction site on time.

When he first started in this position, not many people liked him. But after everything he had been through, he knew how to handle it. He worked hard every day, earned the foreman’s trust, and picked up a lot of skills along the way.

“To be honest, when you first showed up, I didn’t think you’d last. I thought you’d be crying and begging to go back to your wealthy life in no time,” the foreman said.

Ryland had been working all morning, covered in dirt. He took a sip of water and pulled off his hard hat. “I don’t live like you think I do.”

“You don’t?” The foreman leaned in, lowering his voice. “I heard Mr. Miller sent you here for some experience. Aren’t you his son?”

Ryland shook his head. “My last name is Watson.”

“Ah, got it.” The foreman gave him a pat on the shoulder. “Keep it up. I believe in you.”

“I will,” Ryland nodded, ready to get back to work.

The foreman got up to check on the workers. The sun was so hot that Ryland could feel the sweat stinging his eyes.

It was chaotic on the construction site, and suddenly, someone yelled, “Watch out!”noveldrama

Ryland turned and saw a steel bar falling, heading straight for the foreman. Without thinking, he rushed over and pushed the foreman out of the way, but he couldn’t dodge in time. The steel bar slammed into his back, and he instantly passed out.

“Ryland!” The foreman’s legs wobbled as he shouted, looking around. “Who the hell did that?”

The workers above looked at each other, clearly confused, but no one knew what had just happened.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and Ryland was carried onto it.

Everyone stood frozen, still staring at the scene.
