Traitor Husband? My Reborn Bullet Found Him... Again! - Chapter 74: Chapter 74

I turned to leave, but Alex suddenly lunged forward and grabbed my wrist.
"Evie, quit playing games. Come home with me."
I scowled and yanked my hand away.
"Let go of me!"
Alex's eyes were bloodshot like some abandoned puppy.
"You're still mad, right? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I was an idiot before, but I swear I'll never look at another woman again."
"Evie, I can't live without you. Please, don't leave me."
He was starting to scare me.
Ryan pried Alex's fingers off me one by one.
"She said let go. You deaf or something?"
Alex winced and released me, glaring at Ryan.
"Who the hell are you to butt into our business?"
"Me? Evie's fiancé."
Dead silence.
Alex whipped around to stare at me.
"Evie, I get that you're pissed, but you don't have to settle for some random nobody."
He sized Ryan up.
"Nice build, I'll give you that. Male model, right? This type only wants your money. All sweet talk today, banging some sugar mama tomorrow."
My expression went ice cold.
"Watch your fucking mouth."
But Ryan wasn't even fazed. Just laughed.
"Really? Which male model has my credentials?"
He casually slipped off his sunglasses.
Alex's face froze.
Of course it did.
Someone who'd clawed his way through corporate America would definitely recognize Ryan Winston.
Not just an A-list actor, but heir to their biggest business partner.
Alex went pale.
He was about to say something when the crowd suddenly swarmed us, nearly knocking him over.
"Oh my God! It's Ryan Winston!"
"I'm your biggest fan! Can I get an autograph?"
"Babe, selfie time? I love you so much!"
Alex almost got trampled, looking like a total mess.
I almost went down too in the chaos.
That's when a strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close.
Suddenly the chaos around us felt distant.
"Holy shit! What the actual fuck!"
"Are they together?"
"No way, I thought he'd end up with that hot young actress. I shipped them so hard."
Mass hysteria from the fans.
"Today's personal time with my fiancée, so no individual pics, but we can do one group shot."
Ryan smiled.
That bombshell floored everyone.
My face was burning the entire time.
The crowd basically escorted us to our car.
Alex never made it through—kept getting shoved around instead.
I'd never seen him look so pathetic.
Even when he was dirt poor living off Dad's charity, he carried himself with pride.
In the car, I stared at my lap, too embarrassed to look up.
"Aren't you worried about losing fans? And who said I was your fiancée..."
Ryan took my fidgeting hands in his.
"My fans matter, but you matter more."
"I only became an actor for you anyway. And I want everyone rooting for us."
Ryan pulled out an elegant blue velvet box from his pocket.
His hands were actually shaking a little.
Inside was a massive pink diamond ring.
"Evie, will you marry me? Not because your dad's pushing it, not because you're trying to escape someone else's drama. Just because you want me."
I thought I'd overthink it, but I didn't hesitate.
I knew for sure I wanted this man.
"Yes."
Ryan froze for a second.
Then got so hyped he fumbled the ring like three times before getting it on my finger.
"I've been rehearsing this moment in my head for almost twenty fucking years."
