After knowing that Zack had cheated on her with Angie, Ryan found it easier to accept this new brother-in-law.
He even found it comforting.
This brother-in-law was so much better than Zack in so many aspects. If Zack did not know how to appreciate his sister, someone else would!
He would definitely regret this in the future!
Ryan looked at Ethan and politely called. "Brother-in-law."
The way he addressed him satisfied Ethan.
He immediately took the watch off his wrist and handed it to Ryan. "It was an impromptu decision to come here today, so I didn't have time to prepare anything. Take this as a greeting gift first."
Ryan drew in a shocked breath.
That was a diamond Patek Philippe watch, it cost more than three hundred thousand dollars each.
How could he simply give something that cost hundreds of thousands to someone?
Just how rich was this brother-in-law?
Mia was shocked as well. "No, no. This watch is too expensive, Ryan cannot accept it."
"He can. Because I say so." Ethan stuffed it into Ryan's hand, not accepting any other response. "Once I gift someone, I'll never ask for it to be returned. You can do whatever you like with it."
Ryan was astonished.
He dared not decline it, but at the same time, he felt that the gift was too extravagant.
"Sis..." He looked towards Mia pleadingly, seeking help.
Right then, Ethan's cell phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and picked it up.
A few seconds later, he hung up.
"I've got some things to settle at the office, I'll attend to it first." He said to Mia, "We'll have dinner together tonight. I'll get the chauffeur to pick you up later."
He then turned toward Ryan. "Rest and recuperate well. If need be, you can come to me anytime, I'll take good care of both of you."
They had no idea how precious Ethan Moore's promise actually was.
Neither did they know what it meant for a man with such power and status to give a promise.
Ethan took his leave.
Ryan looked at the watch in his hand, his curiosity piqued. "Sis, just what sort of person is Brother-in-law? Is he very rich?"
Even Zack wouldn't be able to give someone else a three-hundred-thousand-dollar watch so casually.
"Yup, he's pretty rich."
He came from Springdale's most powerful Moore family, a household that was immeasurably wealthy.
They weren't just wealthy, they were so in an extraordinary sense that an average person could only begin to imagine.
"This watch..." Ryan looked glumly at it, unsure of how to handle this piece of valuable.
"Give it to me." Mia put her hand out after some thought. "This is too expensive a gift, we can't accept it. I'll find a way to return it to him."
Ryan nodded and handed it to Mia.
This gift really was too extravagant.
Even if they accepted it, they'd never find an occasion to wear it. In that case, they might as well return it.
"Sis, how did you meet Brother-in-law, and how long have you been together?" Ryan was very curious about this handsome and rich Brother-in-law.
Mia was peeling a fruit for him.
She hesitated for a moment before giving him the peeled and cut fruit. "Ryan, he and I... are married."
Ryan widened his eyes.
"You're married?!"
"Yup."
"When was that?"
"Just today. We went to get our marriage license before coming to see you."
She'd wanted to keep it from Ryan, but since Ethan had no intention of keeping this under wraps, she found no reason to either.
Ryan choked on his own saliva.
This was simply incredulous, he could barely believe what he was hearing.
