The young man managed to hold the burly man's fist with just one hand! The sound of screaming in pain did not come from Ryan but from the burly man! 

Ryan squeezed the man's fist hard and didn't let go of his grip.

Strangely, Ryan's face looked calm and his grip didn't move at all. By this time, the burly man had gritted his teeth, his face was red and looked like he was in pain. His left hand that Ryan held was shaking violently!

At first, his hand only trembled a little but now it trembled even more. Everyone who saw them was already shocked. What the hell was going on?

Ryan then smiled at the man. "There's no strength, right?"

Shortly after saying that, Ryan let out his strength little by little, slowly forcing the burly man to get down on his knees while he moaned in pain.

His face was full of sweat, he tried to get away but it was all useless.

When the man was about to scream for mercy, Ryan silenced him by putting his hand in his mouth!

The burly man looked at Ryan making a gesture to shut up. "Shhhhh! She's still sleeping,"

The man then looked at Megan who was still fast asleep on Ryan's shoulder.

Five hours later, Ryan woke Megan up from her deep sleep and took her off the train.

Though it was already late at night, getting back in her beloved city of Avalerion made Megan sigh in disbelief. She almost wept at the scent for her freedom.

If it weren't for Ryan, she would have become a victim of human trafficking.

"It's okay to cry your feelings out. I am here," Ryan said. "If anyone bothers you again then I will kill them on the spot!"

"Huh? Who wants to cry?!" Megan wiped her tears. "I'm a lecturer so I have to set a good example,"

"Lecturer or not, you are still a woman. You almost had a terrible incident. Crying happy tears isn't setting a bad example."

Megan then walked towards the exit with her head held high, she would not let that terrible incident haunt her.

With a smile, Ryan hailed a taxi and got in with her. "Do you want to go to your mother's house or to your own house?"

"I want to meet my mother," Megan hesitated a little but she knew that her mother must be worried about her.

Ryan nodded and gave her mother's address to the taxi driver.

After arriving, Megan suddenly said to the taxi driver, "Sir please stop at the park."

Ryan was a little confused, why was Megan suddenly asking to stop here?

After paying for the taxi and getting off, Megan said to Ryan, "Stay with me for a moment,"

Hearing Megan's words, Ryan immediately understood. The woman had just experienced an incident that nobody should ever experience. She was kidnapped, sold, and nearly raped. Her feelings must be awful right now.

Under the moonlight, the two of them walked side by side around the park.

Megan's gaze was blank when she saw the moon in the sky. All the feelings of fear, anxiety, anger, shame, happiness, relief, were mixed up in her mind.

Seeing her feel a little helpless, Ryan felt his heart also ache.

He knew that no comfort would make Megan forget the bitter incident. What Megan had to do was to accept what had happened and live with it. After all, the important thing was that she survived.

Ryan then gently took Megan's hand. The woman was initially a little surprised but didn't refuse to be held. The two then walked hand in hand like a couple.

For Megan,no man was better than Ryan in this world. Indeed, he acted like a pervert sometimes and that his words couldn't always be taken seriously, always joking no matter the situation he was in. But he could always be counted on when she needed him. 

When Ryan rescued her from the human trafficker, Megan noticed his chapped dry lips. The man must have gone to great lengths to save her.

Perhaps, Ryan was the prince on the white horse that she'd been waiting for?

'No, no, how could that be true?' She tried to dismiss the thought.

But… Who else in this world went to save her except him?

What Megan didn't realize was that her mind was constantly thinking about Ryan's figure even when she was desperate. She didn't realize that she had been in love with Ryan for a long time.

Ryan was still thinking about how soft Megan's chest was when she rode with him and hugged him tight. He wondered when he could feel the two mountains with his hands.

This incident might traumatize Megan a little with men, so it seemed like he had to wait a little longer for his dream.

The two of them continued walking around the park without speaking at all. People around looked at them as if the two were a shy young couple.

"Hey, hey, look at them. They're adults but dating like a junior high school student," someone said to his friend.

"Ah, poor guy. If I were with such a beautiful woman, I would have brought her in my room," his friend replied.

"No wonder you're single, your brain is as perverted," a group of young people laughed all over and walked away from Ryan and Megan.

Ryan could hear clearly what they just said but he just smiled at the boys. A gentleman would not force a woman to do it. If he managed to get her heart then that woman would continue to ask him for more!

Megan realized that people looked at her as if she and Ryan were dating. 

'Not bad…' she thought, feeling good with the way people stared at them.

Not long after, they both arrived at Megan's mother's house. However, Megan did not ring the door of her house.

"Thank you for today," still holding Ryan's hand, Megan turned around and faced the man.

"No problem, as long as you promise not to do it again," Ryan said with a smile.

Megan did not speak further. For a moment, the two of them just stared at each other in silence. In front of the house's black fence, they just stood still and the atmosphere around them looked romantic.

People who fell in love sometimes had a hard time expressing what they wanted. They didn't want to rush things and scare their partner. At this time, Megan was completely immersed in Ryan's gaze. She wanted to channel her feelings through a kiss. The quiet and romantic atmosphere in front of her mother's house encouraged her. Megan didn't dare to take the initiative. She hoped that the usually aggressive Ryan would start first.

Ryan then looked at Megan, it seemed that he'd understood the meaning of the woman's gaze. When he stepped forward, Megan was a little embarrassed and lowered her head. However, Ryan lifted her head while closing his eyes. It looked like she had to brave herself for what's coming. 

Then they hugged and kissed.

"Thank you for helping me," Megan said in a small and low voice. Her face was red like a tomato. 

When Megan was about to ring the bell, Ryan suddenly held her hand.

"What's wrong?" Megan was surprised when Ryan suddenly caught her hand. Her pounding heart seemed to beat louder when Ryan pulled her into his embrace.

"Meggie, that's not the right way to kiss," Ryan then smiled. "Here, let me teach you,"

"Ah? Hmmph!" Megan did not have time to comment as Ryan shut her with his lips.

She was quite surprised when Ryan's tongue entered her mouth. She fought for a moment but gave up in the end and started to enjoy it.

Megan circled her hands around Ryan's neck while the man's hands hugged her waist. They really enjoyed their hot kiss.

They were so oblivious to time and place that they didn't notice the door to the house was open and Megan's mother came out screaming.

"Meggie!"

Her happy voice echoed in their ears. But when the middle-aged woman saw Ryan and her daughter kissing, she suddenly felt guilty.

"Errr, I only heard a sound from outside so I came out to check it. Sorry to ruin your moment, just continue. I'll come inside first. Just ring the bell when you're finished," Megan's mother was happy to see her daughter making out with Ryan. It seemed that her grandchildren would be born soon.

The two of them were really embarrassed, Megan quickly broke away from Ryan's embrace.

"Mom, wait!"

Megan's face was completely red. Indeed, she was hesitant to kiss Ryan at first, but she mustered up her courage to share her feelings. Still, she didn't expect that her mother would come out and see them kissing! Obviously, the romantic atmosphere among them had broken down.

Ryan also felt embarrassed. Even though he had thick skin, he still felt that making out in front of an elderly was shameful. Megan's mother might think that he would become her son-in-law someday.
