Ann struggled to contain her laughter, reveling in Alexa’s pain but her joy was short-lived when Ryan turned his gaze towards Alexa and stepped forward to defend her.
Ryan interjected firmly. "I don't think it's appropriate to dredge up the past like this. Yes, Alexa has moved on from her previous relationship, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been difficult for her to enter into another one so soon," he explained, his voice tinged with frustration.
He continued, “Let's not dwell into the past. There's no reason for you to keep bringing it up. Whatever happened, it's in the past, and Alexa and I are focused on building our new relationship, both now and in the future!" Ryan's words caught Ann off guard, causing her to emit a low growl.
"I kindly request that you put the past behind and offer your blessings for our future. That's all I ask of you, nothing more," Ryan said, staring directly into Zella's eyes.
