Freya's first day of work flew by just like that.

She finished up her handover notes and dropped by to check on Ben again. After informing him to contact Lucas, who was on duty, if there was anything urgent, she got off work.

Daniel had texted her over ten minutes ago and said that he was waiting for her at the basement parking lot.

Freya took the elevator down to level B1. As soon as the elevator door opened, she saw him immediately. He had been standing right in front of the elevator.

She was stunned when she walked out of the elevator.

Daniel explained, "My car was parked somewhere farther away, so I was worried you might not be able to find it."

After that, he naturally reached for Freya's hand. She tried to remove it from his grip, but he just held her hand tighter.

Daniel turned around and looked at her, confused, "What's wrong?"

Freya looked around and noticed cars passing by. She figured they should talk once they were back and instead replied, "It's nothing. Let's head

    Freya only came to her realization when she was preparing dinner. Daniel only told her that he liked her, but had never asked if she liked him back.She wondered what he was trying to get out of it.He was only confessing his feelings when he told her he liked her. As for whether she liked him back or not, it was another matter entirely.Although Daniel liked her, Freya was free to decide on her feelings. But could she still interact with him in the same way as before?That seemed unlikely. After all, no one was able to interact with someone else the same way as before after finding out that they had feelings for them.Freya wasn't sure if she liked Daniel back.She set the soup on the stove to reheat it and started preparing the rest of the meal. She had already chopped the vegetables and assembled the casserole during the weekend, so she only had to put it into the oven now.By the time the soup was hot and ready, her casserole was also fresh out of the oven.A wave of cedarw

    Freya's and Daniel's lives continued quietly. As time passed, their relationship began to change in subtle ways.Daniel was waiting for Freya to get off work outside the hospital as usual. As soon as she got in, she noticed a box of sweets and a wedding invitation on the seat."Can I have some of those sweets?" she asked, glancing at him with hopeful eyes."Go ahead—they're all for you." Daniel glanced at her before continuing to drive. "I need you to come with me to a wedding this Saturday.""Do we have to go?" Freya asked reluctantly. She wasn't big on overly crowded events as they always made her feel out of place and alone.Besides, her new novel had just been signed. She was hoping to get some serious writing done during the weekend.Daniel replied, "We don't have to go if you don't feel like going. I'll just get Michael to deliver the wedding gift instead."Freya felt relieved hearing it as she unwrapped a chocolate and popped it into her mouth. As it tasted good, she got

    Both Daniel and Freya were in the study at night. The quiet room was filled with the fast and rhythmic sound of her typing away on the keyboard. The keyboard was something she rewarded herself with the royalties she earned this month.Freya's novel usually had average traffic. But to her surprise, it took off after it wrapped up. As such, she treated herself with a keyboard she had been eying for a while without hesitation.Another reason was that her laptop keyboard had started acting up, and it was slowing down her typing speed.Freya usually had no issue with the opening of her novels, and she was excited about the upcoming plot, so she was completely focused on writing.She did not even notice when Daniel had stood behind her. It wasn't until she had to search for her phone to look up some information that she spotted black leather indoor slippers near her chair.Freya was quick to snap her laptop shut. She turned behind to look at him with a sweet smile.Dressed in a dark gr

    Daniel placed Freya on the bed and unbuttoned his loungewear. When she saw his sexy Adam's apple, she returned to her senses."C-Can you c-change the punishment?" She tried to negotiate with him cautiously.Daniel stopped unbuttoning her clothes and stared at her. "What punishment do you think is better, babe?"Upon hearing that, Freya was elated. She remembered that the most severe punishment she received from her father when she was naughty in the past was getting her palm hit. "Hitting my palm," she answered sincerely.Daniel leaned closer to her and placed his arms on both sides of her body. Then, he whispered into her ear, "I don't want to hurt you."His warm breath brushed across her neck, making her feel ticklish. Because of that, her body stiffened and she held her breath.When Daniel saw how pure Freya was, he asked deliberately, "Babe, do you have other punishments in mind?""I'll make delicious food for you.""None of that can beat you."Didn't that mean Daniel had

    Once everything had ended, Daniel carried Freya into the bathroom. When she realized that he wanted to shower with her, she closed the door while feeling embarrassed and locked him outside."I can shower on my own." It was only a round. She didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Nevertheless, based on his gentle actions and considerate tone, he seemed to have taken extra care of her.At least, she felt more happiness than pain. Wasn't it strange? Why would she feel happy because it was the first time?Freya turned off the hot water. When she peeked out with wet hair, she saw Daniel. It was obvious that he had showered. He must have showered in her previous room.He wore a pair of cotton sweatpants and was waiting for her with her loungewear and towel. With a smile, he walked over to her. Immediately, she stopped him. "Place the stuff on the vanity. I'll take them myself.""Alright. I'll enter after you put on your clothes." Daniel placed the things on the vanity before stepping out o

    In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the bedroom, Freya woke up. She stretched her back and let out a satisfied sigh, which meant that she had a good sleep.Perhaps it was because she had exercised too much last night that she slept soundly. Out of habit, she turned to see if the pillow in the middle was still in place. It was only then that she realized Daniel was staring at her with dark eyes. He had propped himself up. He looked at her as if he were waiting for his prey to wake up so that he could have a good meal.Freya stopped stretching and smiled awkwardly. "Good morning.""Do you feel unwell anywhere?"It was a question Daniel had asked several times, but Freya's answer remained the same."I'm fine."Freya got up and went to the bathroom. She wondered why Daniel didn't exercise that day. As they didn't turn off the lights last night during the punishment, she remembered all his actions and expressions. She even remembered his voice and appearance wh

    Freya had already gone through the onboarding period in the ICU. Her day would be the same as the day before for the rest of the time she was there. It was just that the illnesses she had to face were different every day. The challenges were different as well.Soon, it was Saturday. It was the day of Terence and Joanna Lane's wedding. Freya didn't tell Harper anything about Terence, so Harper had no idea that Terence was holding a wedding in Sureton City.Freya didn't want to ruin his wedding. She only wanted to know what his bride looked like. She was curious why he suddenly stopped loving Harper after being in a relationship with her for seven years."I might be pestered by other people later. I'll have to talk to them. Don't stray too far from me." Daniel stopped the car at the hotel entrance and opened the door for Freya before whispering into her ear.Upon seeing how excited she was, he was actually afraid that she would ruin the wedding. Nevertheless, he knew that she wasn't

    Terence wore a white tailcoat. The white bowtie looked noble and holy, but it was so white that it was glaring.When Freya saw his upright posture, she could vaguely recall the striking presence he and Harper had when they appeared in front of her back then. Back then, Harper was just as dazzling.Freya thought about how great it would have been if the bride that day was Harper. But thankfully, the bride wasn't Harper because Terence wasn't worthy of her.She put down the cake and walked in the direction Terence disappeared. At that time, he was on the balcony smoking a cigarette. When she saw the way he smoked, she could sense that he was lonely.Wasn't it his wedding? Wasn't he going to marry the woman he dumped his first love of seven years for? So, why was he unhappy?"Freya walked closer to Terence. "Terence."Confused, he looked at her. He was surprised, then he calmed down. "Freya, why are you here?""I'm here with my husband." Freya chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I'm just

    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
