Zoe Lewis was stunned, stammering, "I, I, I... I won't get the marriage certificate with you!"
"Then you go and tell my mom yourself."
"You're the real son, I'm just an outsider. It's better if you explain."
"If I explain, my mom won't believe it. It has to be you."
Ryker's gaze was icy as he let her go. Sure enough, as soon as he tested her, it was clear. She approached him with ulterior motives! Otherwise, given his great qualities, why would she refuse him?
Zoe could tell he was unhappy, so she tried to placate him, "How about I try explaining to Auntie?"
Ryker's expression became colder, and he didn't even look at her again.
Zoe didn't know what she said wrong again. She couldn't explain, but couldn't not explain either.
He's so hard to please!
In the future, she mustn't marry a man this hard to please. Life would be unbearable.
Ryker opened the door: "You should go home."
Zoe hesitated, "By myself?"
"Unless you want two people?"
