Twenty minutes later, Bella finished up her work, and the two of them finally left the café near the hospital, heading to their next destination.
Originally, Alice had planned to wait for Ryan to finish his business and then take him along for lunch.
But Ryan had made new plans and wouldn't be coming back to her at noon. Although she felt a bit annoyed, Alice still allowed him to go off on his own for the time being.
Alice knew Mia had gone to see Ryan. She didn't stop her because, in a way, she hoped Mia's presence would help smooth things over with Ryan.
Of course, Alice would have preferred to be the one by Ryan's side right now. But reality is what it is—she had a lot of other things to handle.
Besides, she was the boss of a crime syndicate. Even if the day came when Ryan wanted to stay by her side all the time, it should be because he chose to, not because she forced him.
Ugh, he's such a blockhead.
