Crossing Paths With Love Again Chapter 38
Only now did Freya realize Daniel was only wearing underwear. The striking outline of his private part was boldly etched into her sight.Her mind flashed to what she had read in books about men's erections in the morning. It was a normal biological reaction like her instinct to stretch when she woke up.However, it was her first time seeing it with her eyes. It was no longer just an illustration in a book or a specimen in the lab. She hadn't expected it to look like this. The elasticity of the corpus cavernosum was truly remarkable.Daniel's stern voice cut through as she was immersed in her academic research. "Freya, aren't you ashamed?"What? Ashamed? Was he seriously asking her if she was ashamed?It was his fault for not dressing properly to sleep, which was why she saw it in the first place.She liked sleeping without clothes too, yet she would still cover up no matter how much she wanted to do that. On the other hand, he slept as he pleased for his own comfort but dared to

Freya made a simple sandwich for breakfast while Daniel headed off to work after finishing his breakfast.She spent the time alone in the study, working on her resume and browsing job listings from various hospitals on a job search application. She sent her resume to the hospitals that matched her career goals.It was already past 1:00 pm by the time she was done with that.She checked the performance of her completed novel on the author's platform. Although the book hadn't gained much traction during its serialization, it was now drawing in a surprising number of readers when it was already finished. Did people prefer reading finished novels?The editor asked if she had any ideas for a new book, but she hadn't found any inspiration as she was recently busy with graduation and job hunting. She decided to stop writing for now.She was content with the steady passive income from her completed book.Freya got up to make herself something to eat, wondering if Daniel would be home for

Daniel returned home with an enormous bouquet and noticed the fresh arrangements around the house. It seemed they might be running low on vases."Why did you buy such a big bouquet?""Congratulations on landing a job.""There's nowhere to put it. I'll set it on the drawer by the entryway for now."Freya glanced at the bouquet again as he set it down.She had noticed flower prices today. A large bouquet like this with such elaborate wrapping must have cost close to a thousand dollars. "Let's not keep buying flowers. A large bouquet like this is quite expensive."Daniel gave a short response before returning to the room.He asked her about her new job at dinner, and she told him all the details before wrapping everything up by telling him, "It's a hospital I'm already familiar with, so I won't bother showing you the contract. I'll likely be signing it on the spot tomorrow."Daniel replied, "Okay."Freya arrived half an hour before her 10:00 am appointment the next morning.She

Connor's voice sounded as he leaned casually against the ward's door. His arms were crossed in front of his chest as he leisurely looked at everyone in the ward. He had changed out of his white coat and was now dressed in casual clothes."Professor Sloane.""Welcome back.""Thank you."Mabel couldn't help but tease him, "Connor, you're already 32. When are you planning to find yourself a girlfriend?"He shrugged helplessly. "I'm too busy with work. It'd just be unfair to anyone who's with me.""Oh, nonsense! My granddaughter is truly a wonderful person. She's independent, has her own job, and is quite pretty. I think the two of you would be a great match."Mabel had started mentioning her granddaughter again. Everyone in the ward merely exchanged glances and a knowing smile.They had all met her granddaughter. She was a businesswoman. Her dominant presence could make most junior nurses and doctors buckle under her gaze.Connor didn't respond directly but teased, "Mrs. Winchest

A cheerful voice called out as a middle-aged woman in a long linen dress appeared at the table.The only person who would call Connor that way would be his mother."Hello, Mrs. Sloane. I'm Freya, a student under Professor Sloane."Connor's mother's eyes lit up as she took Freya's hands. "Oh, wonderful! You're still a student? Such a shame!"Freya found it slightly hard to keep up with Conner's mother's unpredictable thinking."Mom, Mom…" Connor called her twice, trying to draw his mother's attention. "She's not my student anymore. She's my colleague.""What? She's not even your girlfriend?" His mother sounded disappointed. "You truly need to step up your game!""Mom, we have work matters to discuss. Could you please give us some space?" Connor suggested."No way! I'll step in if you can't make it work. I want this lovely daughter-in-law. She's adorable!" She held Freya's hand and showed no intention of leaving the room."Dad, your wife…" His mother vanished in a flash before h

Connor walked Freya to the door after dinner and waved to stop her a cab. He saw her off into the car like a gentleman before turning around to leave.His mother stood behind the counter and fumed. "You fool! Why did you let her pay for dinner?""She offered to treat me. It's an appreciation dinner, so of course, she should pay," Connor replied as if it was the most natural thing.His mother threw her pen at him in frustration. "No wonder you're still single!"Connor just laughed. He bent down to mask the slight sadness in his eyes as he picked up the pen and handed it back. "Mom, I'm going to bed now. Last night's shift wore me out."She looked at the redness at the corners of his eyes with distress. "Go on, get some rest."A tall figure emerged from the private room next door where Connor had been dining with Freya. He had a darkened expression as he left."Mr. Talbot, I'm looking forward to our collaboration." A middle-aged man mustered up his courage to extend his hand.Dan

Freya trailed closely behind Daniel. She could sense his low spirits and thought he might have encountered some challenges at work.She assumed he had something to do back home when he offered to pick her up earlier. However, he just came upstairs to escort her down. She didn't see him doing other things.He had been staring intently at her during dinner, occasionally placing food on her plate without saying anything.His unusual behavior left her feeling uneasy."You—""Mr. Talbot." A deep voice interrupted the question she had been about to ask.Daniel shook the man's hand. "Mr. Stone."Marcus Stone's gaze shifted to Freya. "No wonder you declined my dinner invitation. I see you had plans with your lovely sister."Daniel extended his hand toward Freya. She quietly stepped forward. Her hand was enveloped in his large hand as he introduced her to Marcus, "This is my wife, Freya."She offered a polite smile and a nod by way of greeting.Marcus was slightly shorter than Daniel.

Freya and Daniel returned home after their trip to the grocery store. Daniel suddenly held the box with their wedding rings and sought out Freya, who was organizing the groceries."Babe."The way he called her still felt foreign to her ears. She awkwardly set down the things and looked at him."Give me your hand." Daniel took the smaller ring and gently held her hand before slipping it into her ring finger. "You're not allowed to take it off once it's on."He asked again when she didn't respond, "Did you hear me?"Freya nodded. "I heard you."He then took another ring and placed it in his palm.She caught on and slid the ring onto his ring finger.…The place was quiet at night.Daniel was still working in the study while Freya lay in bed alone. She stared at the ring on her ring finger by the soft glow of the bedside lamp and was lost in thought.His mood had noticeably improved after buying the rings. She couldn't quite decipher what was on his mind.Did he buy the rings

Daniel and Freya went home after dinner. Kate didn't make Freya stay for tea as the Talbots could tell that something had shifted between the couple, even though Freya behaved nicely just like before.At home, Daniel stood beside Freya and reached out for her hand, but she stubbornly pried his fingers away and shoved her hands into her pockets.Daniel called the hospital director and got to the bottom of Freya's transfer to the ICU. He explained, "My love, all I wanted was for them to transfer you to the ICU. That's your specialization, isn't it? You've rotated through all the departments in the hospital by now. The emergency department is simply too dangerous."She shut her eyes without a word. She was fuming."I had nothing to do with the letter. The director ordered the intern supervisor to inform you, but it ended up this way," said Daniel."Yeah, you might have nothing to do with the letter, but things wouldn't have happened if you hadn't forcefully transferred me out of th

"Daniel was handsome back in school—the campus hottie, in fact. We studied at an international school. Cole and I had heard about his fame even when we were in middle school." Standing beside Freya, Yvonne explained, "Thankfully, Daniel was a simple-minded guy who spent his time studying and playing basketball."Freya could not recall much from her school. She remembered studying a lot. During break, she rarely stepped out of the classroom apart from going to the bathroom or filling up her water bottle. She had no idea who the campus hottie and campus belle were."Is a campus hottie very popular?"Yvonne looked at her in shock. "Of course! Daniel could never fit his bag into his locker.""Why so?""His bag was filled with love letters and snacks from girls. His classmates often went to him for snacks when they were hungry. Only the love letters were left in the end.""Did many girls write love letters to him?""Of course. The basketball court was super crowded whenever he play

Freya and Daniel visited Talbot Manor for dinner again. Yvonne immediately pulled Freya to her room when Freya stepped foot in the living room. Daniel was accustomed to his family taking Freya away from him whenever he was home."Freya, let me show you something. This is the novel I told you about." Yvonne placed a stack of papers in Freya's hands. She explained, "This is the script that was edited. I got it yesterday. The scriptwriter did a great job adapting the novel.""I'll take a look." Freya flipped through the papers with much interest and read a few pages. From the highlighted dialogues and the notes Yvonne scribbled across the pages, one could tell she was eager to act in the play.The scriptwriter did not change much of the story in the novel except for changing the sequence of events and moving some conflicts to the beginning to suit the audience's taste and to make it easier to film. "So, Freya, how is it?" Yvonne waited eagerly for Freya's review after Freya set the s

Freya comforted Harper, "Both of you willingly arrived at this decision, didn't you? I think Nathan is a decent guy. He can be quite talkative, but he made your mom really happy with his sweet talking on the day your families met for a meal."A smile blossomed on Harper's lips when she recalled the scene. "My parents are very happy with Nathan. They always complain that I'm too mature and calm. I guess that's the nature of women in STEM. Nathan is my complete opposite."Freya thought it was a magical fate. "Your families get along well with each other. The two of you are the only child at home. Your families are small and simple, and your parents are supportive of the marriage. You have no worries in the future. Most importantly, Nathan really loves you."They waited until the waiter served the food before they continued chatting."Harper, a woman is emotional and easily moved. I, too, thought I could casually date Daniel without putting in too much feelings. I thought that was the

Freya was on duty on Tuesday and had the rest of the day off after Monday afternoon.After she wrapped up her Monday afternoon shift, she came across Daniel, Harper, and Nathan at the hospital entrance.It struck her how good Nathan and Harper looked together. Harper was an icy beauty when she stood there in silence, while Nathan always looked like an excited puppy by her side; he wouldn't stop talking.Daniel leaned against his car with a look of disdain, trying his best to keep the couple at arm's length."Why are you guys here? Are you here to pick me up?" chirped Freya.Harper reached out to hold Freya while resting an arm on her shoulder. "Yeah. We're all here to pick you up, Fae."Harper then turned to Daniel. "Mr. Talbot, I'll borrow Fae for the entire afternoon. I'll drop her off at your lobby before 8:00 pm."With that, she left with Freya."Harper, aren't we having lunch together? It's our first day of marriage. Can Daniel and I join you?" Nathan yelled from behind.

At home, Daniel hugged Freya. "My love, when's our wedding?"She dodged his kiss. "I don't want one.""Why?"Smiling, she replied, "For no reason other than it's a chore.""You seemed very absorbed in the event just now to the point you forgot to eat." He greedily kissed her on the neck. "Why aren't you interested in throwing your own wedding?"She smiled. "Well, I had to listen to what they were saying. I'd look bad if I ate without paying attention."Daniel cupped her pretty face in his hands and gave her a tender look. "Do you not want a wedding because of fear?"She retorted, "Tell me, what do I have to fear?""Well, you don't have a family."She immediately teared up."Alright, alright, I shall shut up now. Come, give me a hug." Daniel felt sorry when he saw her eyes, which were red from crying. He pulled her into his arms and coaxed her, "We won't have a wedding if you don't want one. You have the final say. Please don't cry. I was wrong. I won't bring it up again or fo

Freya sat at the dining table in a private room of a hotel. She was surrounded by the six members of the York and Sanders families. Daniel was by her side. What had started as Harper's blind date with George that morning had now turned into a discussion about marriage between Harper and Nathan. Watching the joyful harmony between the two families, Freya felt happy for Harper. Since Nathan had appeared at the café, Freya hadn't had a moment to speak privately with Harper. Initially, she and Daniel weren't meant to be part of this meeting. But Harper insisted, saying, "Freya is family to me. I need her here." Nathan also invited Daniel along. Under the table, Freya reached for Daniel's hand. He grasped hers firmly. Leaning in, he whispered, "What's on your mind?" "Nothing. I've never gone through this process before. I can see that Erica is happy on the surface, but deep down, she's a little reluctant and worried." "It makes sense. A mother's heart is always heavy when

Harper understood now. She glanced at Nathan, who was slumped over with his head hanging low. "Mrs. Turner, let me briefly introduce myself." Freya stared at Harper in disbelief. What was she doing? Was she trying to sell herself too?"I'm 26 years old, a certified architectural engineer employed by a state-owned enterprise. I've passed all the professional certifications I'm eligible for at this stage. My parents recently retired, and we've fully paid for a new house, which is currently being renovated. We're also refurbishing a shop, so at the moment, I'm carrying some debt." Nathan, who had been dejected moments earlier, perked up immediately. "Debt isn't an issue! I have savings, a salary, and even some retirement benefits from my service…" "Don't interrupt her." Kelly patted Nathan's shoulder, signaling him to calm down. "I've been in a relationship before. It started in my freshman year and lasted seven years. But we never lived together." She then looked at Nathan

Freya followed the voice and noticed a woman approaching them with a warm smile. She was dressed in a long back down coat. Though she showed signs of age with fine wrinkles on her face, her demeanor exuded elegance and composure. Her every movement was a delight to watch. "Mom!" Nathan stood up. Her presence caught him off guard. Ignoring her son, Kelly Turner placed her belongings with him and squeezed into the seat beside him. Nathan shifted to make room for her. He silently prayed that she wouldn't ruin his plans. Without hesitation, Kelly grabbed his phone and opened up his Venmo QR code. She smiled and held it up to Harper. "You must be Harper, right?" "Yes, I am. Nice to meet you, ma'am." Like Freya, Harper was taken aback. She was unsure what Kelly was up to. Nonetheless, she had to be polite. "Ma'am? You can just call me 'Mrs. Turner.'" "Uh… Mrs. Turner. Mr. Sanders and I are not really that close. This is only the second time I've met him." "It doesn't m
