Chapter 39: Chapter 39 - Let's Have a Toast

That cheerful and light voice instantly made Rachel bulge her eyes in shock.

Lucky she wasn't chewing or swallowing anything right now because if she was, she would probably die from choking.

"Ryley…? Ryley is that really you…?!"

Rena got up from her seat and paced up towards the blond in disbelief, hugging him tight and kissing his cheeks all over.

"I missed you Mom... and Dad too," the blond giggled, then smiled and looked at his parents in turns.

Rena wiped her joyful tears as she scanned Ryley's figure for a while. "How are you? Wait... Aren't you getting thinner?!!"

Michael let out a chuckle hearing his wife's concern. "Right! I've told him he's too skinny but he kept saying it's because of his job."

Rena pursed her lips hearing her husband's reply and pinched Ryley's cheek. "Even if you're a model, you still need to eat properly, you know!"

"O-ouch! I know I know!" Ryley winced as he tried to free his cheek from Rena's pinch.
