Adrian arrived at the airport past eleven.
At this hour, there weren't many people coming and going at the airport.
Outside the lobby at the waiting area, a tall figure stood in the dark of night.
Adrian saw the man from a distance and drove over, parking beside him.
The man outside the car saw his face and gave a gentle smile.
He exuded a subtle coolness, and when he smiled, it was like the slow melting of winter snow, extremely pleasant to look at.
"Welcome back!" Adrian got out and fist-bumped him.
This was their way of greeting each other, from childhood through adulthood, thoroughly masculine.
"Yeah." Ryan smiled at him and bent to get into the car.
Adrian followed him into the car and drove him back to the Walyon Family's estate.
Ryan was Adrian's second uncle's son, born just a month apart from Adrian, and the two had always shared a strong bond.
In recent years, Ryan had been abroad managing the family business and only returned once every few years.
