Up to now, he had nothing to say. He's had countless women around him, never regretted any of them—she was the first.
He actually wanted to go back to when the engagement hadn't been called off. The thought itself was laughable, even to him.
Aurora Blaine politely replied, "Thank you."
Jessica Sullivan walked up to Ryan Pierce, smiling broadly and greeted her, "Hello, Miss Pierce."
Ryan nodded, "Hello."
"Well, Ryan..."
"My brother is an old-fashioned guy; he doesn't use a phone, sorry." Ryan cut Jessica Sullivan off.
Of course, Ryan knew what Jessica Sullivan wanted to ask, wasn't it her brother's phone number?
Forget it.
Not to mention her brother wouldn't be interested; she herself wasn't interested. No way she wanted Jessica Sullivan as her sister-in-law!
Aurora Blaine laughed; Ryan's excuse was really... perfect.
Even if Jessica Sullivan is thick-skinned, she could hear the underlying message, right? The answer was simply no, so what?
