Chapter 627
Outside the villa, Bella got into Ryan’s luxury car.
“Bella, it’s rare for you to willingly be alone with me.”
Ryan’s eyes always carried a seductive charm as he looked at the
beauty beside him with a smile. “I do feel quite flattered to be in the
presence of such beauty, but I fear if Justin, that green-eyed monster,
finds out we were chatting alone, he’d explode with anger. And he’s
still sick too.”
“If not for Carrie, do you think I’d be willing to breathe the same air as
you?”
Bella crossed her legs and folded her arms as she spoke coldly but
calmly. “Is the famous casanova Mr. Hoffman sick of the same old
flavors? Is that why you’ve set your sights on our dear Carrie?”
At the mention of Carrie’s name, Ryan’s heart leaped, and a tingling
sensation filled his whole body. His voice trembled slightly as he said,
“Bella, you know about me and Carrie?”

“You and Carrie? Ha! I don’t understand what you mean by that.” Bella
sneered coldly.
“Bella, I have nothing to hide at this point.”
Ryan took a deep breath, his heart beating wildly as he said decisively,
“I’ve fallen for Carrie. I want to be with her.”
“And how many women have you already fallen for so far this year?” The mocking smile on Bella’s face
deepened. She did not hide her

disgust toward him at all.
“She’s definitely the one I love the most!”
“Do you mean you love her the most among all the ladies you also
love?”
“Bella, I’m serious about Carrie!”
Ryan’s face flushed with anxiousness as he turned to look at Bella earnestly. “I admit that I used to be
a player and have dated many
women in the past. But with those women, it was always just
transactional. We took what we needed from each other, and when
our needs were met, we’d part ways amicably. I’ve never actually had any feelings for them, but
Carrie’s different. I have real feelings for her. Bella, every fiber of my body feels for her!”
“But you still extended your claws toward your best friend’s younger sister. Do you think it’s thrilling, Mr.
Hoffman?”
Bella felt that his words were just ridiculous. “Also, Carrie is the type
you’ve never encountered before, so it must be particularly refreshing for you. After all, men love to
challenge themselves with the newest
and most difficult ones. Then, once you’ve gotten Carrie, you’ll
discard her just like you have with the other women you’ve dated. Once the ty has worn off and
she can’t satisfy your vanity like a normal girl, you’ll leave her heartlessly, like she’s a used rag.”
“A used rag?! I fucking wish I could just keep her in my arms forever and treasure her! Bella, don’t you
have even a single bit of trust in me?” Ryan’s voice cracked.
“You want me to trust that a player will change his ways? I’d sooner believe pigs could fly.” Bella really
wanted to roll her eyes at him.
“Fu-Why can’t a player change his ways? Everyone has to settle
down eventually!”
Ryan wore a serious expression as passion began to burn in his eyes.
“Bella, I know you’ve always loved Carrie as a sister. But please
believe me. I swear on my character-ah, no! I swear on my life! I love!

Carrie as sincerely as ever. I want to be with her and spend my future
with her!”
“Fine. Then let me ask you a question.”
Bella suddenly set aside all her mocking and asked in a very serious
tone, “What if your mom, your sister, and your grandfather object to
you being with Carrie and even go as far as to say that you’ll be disowned by the Hoffman family if you
marry her? You can forget
about getting a single thing from them, and your family will never
have peace because of this. Would you still choose to be with Carrie?”
Ryan’s eyes were red as he clenched his hands into fists tightly. ”
might not be able to get the entirety of the Hoffman Group righ
and perhaps the risk you speak of does exist. But I’ve already de
and made up my mind about Carrie. I will do all I can to protect will never let anyone bully her again,
including the Salvadors!”
“That’s not what I asked.”
Bella pursed her lips coldly, unable to hide her disappointment.” There’s only one way you can protect
her, which is to marry her and
make her your rightful and legal wife. Otherwise, that so-called protection of yours will, in a way, harm
her!”
Marry?!
