Crossing Paths With Love Again Chapter 68
Freya glanced at Daniel, and when she saw him nod, she followed Yvonne and Kate to another room.Once they were far from Daniel, Yvonne finally spoke up, "Freya, I didn't know you were scared of my brother.""What?" Freya was slightly puzzled.She wasn't scared of Daniel. It was just that since it was their first time meeting, she didn't quite know how to interact with them, so she constantly looked to Daniel. Plus, Kate and Yvonne were so unpredictable with their words and actions. Freya was worried she wouldn't be able to handle it and might cause trouble for Daniel."No worries. You're not alone. I'm scared of him too. In our family, the only ones who aren't afraid of Dan are Grandpa and Dad." Yvonne glanced in Daniel's direction as she spoke. "Freya, has Dan been treating you badly?"Freya answered without thinking, "No.""Is living with Dan boring?" Yvonne asked."I'm used to living on my own, so it's not boring," Freya replied.Hearing that, Kate kicked Yvonne under the

While Freya was drinking coffee with Kate, her attention remained on Daniel and Yvonne.Yvonne kept a respectful distance from Daniel but spoke with a mix of determination and playfulness, "Dan, my birthday is coming up. You should buy the adaptation rights for this novel and turn it into a drama. I want to play the female lead."Daniel rested lazily against the couch. "The female lead? You, an obscure, minor actress, want to play the female lead? Where am I supposed to find a suitable male lead to pair with you?"Yvonne couldn't believe what she heard. She had appeared in big-budget films alongside A-list stars, even if her scenes were brief. Still, being featured in a multi-billion-dollar production was impressive.If Christopher had said something like that, he would have been beaten up by now. However, when it came to Daniel...Looking at Daniel's tall frame, rugged looks, and muscular legs, she could only swallow her anger. Like it or not, she had no choice.She then said, "

Freya lifted her gaze and met Daniel's concerned, dark eyes. "I never realized it before, but after hearing your conversation today, I realized how well-off your family is. Your grandfather really shouldn't have made the promise for you to marry me back then."Daniel was puzzled. "What does my family's situation have to do with me marrying you?"Freya thought about his late nights and constant business trips. She replied, "It has everything to do with it. You should marry someone who can help with your career so that you won't have to work so hard."Daniel realized what Freya meant. She was concerned about him and sympathized with how hard he worked."The external conditions and resources of the Talbot family are not mine alone. They belong to several generations of the Talbot family and were built through the efforts of many," Daniel said slowly and earnestly, hoping she would understand.He continued, "I only have the right to manage it and the duty to make it flourish. Along th

After getting off work, Freya returned home and cooked, bathing in the sunset. Meanwhile, Daniel was washing fruit at the sink nearby.The phone he had placed on the kitchen counter suddenly rang. "Freya, can you answer the call for me?"She put down the spatula, picked up Daniel's phone, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Freya had no intentions of prying into his privacy, so she directly placed the phone to his ear after answering the call."It's okay, just put it on speaker."Freya did as he asked, and Yvonne's excited voice came through. "Daniel!""What?" Daniel frowned. This younger sister of his was too noisy."How's the matter with the novel's copyright going?" Yvonne eagerly asked."I've arranged for someone to handle it.""When can it be done?""I don't know.""Can it be quicker?" Given Yvonne's impatient nature, she couldn't wait any longer."Hey, I'm your boss," Daniel asserted his authority."But I'm your sister.""Are you talking to me about personal ma

Freya was completely absorbed in her writing, unaware of Daniel's attention on her.Daniel typed the author's name, Yvette Castro, into the search bar and soon found the author's information.There were only two full-length novels. Love Under the Starlight was completed while Blooming Rose in the Dark was still ongoing. There were also several short stories, each around tens of thousands of words.Daniel's hand paused on the mouse for a few seconds while looking at the ongoing Blooming Rose in the Dark before finally clicking on it.The words were familiar. It was the same content he had once seen while standing behind her, watching her type, delete, and undo repeatedly before deciding what to keep.The fact that his sweet wife was Yvette Castro was something Daniel had expected, but it still made his heart ache a little.With so many words recorded, it must have taken a lot of time considering she typed 2,800 words per hour, along with the time spent on planning and refining.T

At the CEO's office of Talbot Corporation, Daniel instructed Michael, "Call the person in charge of negotiating the novel's copyright to come over. Also, arrange a meeting with the head of the novel platform.""Mr. Talbot, are you…" It was the first time Daniel had pushed for the progress of a project. However, it made sense for him to show extra care since this was about Yvonne."It's nothing. I just want to check the author's manuscript fee.""Okay, I'll ask them to prepare the relevant information.""Also, have the entertainment company prepare the scriptwriters and actors.""Okay, Mr. Talbot." Michael finally left the office after making sure that Daniel had no further instructions.Daniel already had a plan in mind. He intended to make his sweet wife's book a big hit while preparing a gift for her. However, under no circumstances could Freya find out that he knew her identity.Thinking of how guilty she had looked when she denied it, she probably didn't want him to find out

"Okay," Connor agreed and lowered his head to continue eating.Freya took her phone and walked to the terrace outside the restaurant before answering the video call.Daniel's bare upper body immediately appeared on Freya's phone screen, startling her so much that she quickly covered the screen with her hand."Have you reached the hotel?" Daniel had just finished showering and was drying his hair while video-calling her."I arrived. Sorry, I forgot to video call you. I'm eating right now," Freya said sweetly, her tone genuinely apologetic.Seeing her obedient demeanor, Daniel decided not to hold it against her. "Are you eating alone?""No, I'm eating with Professor Sloane."Daniel frowned, his tone displeased. "Why are you eating with him?""This is a business trip, and all expenses need to be reimbursed. Of course, we're eating together," Freya explained, thinking Daniel probably wouldn't understand such things as a CEO."You eat by yourself, alone. I'll pay for the meal."F

Connor hadn't expected his offhand comment to cause such a strong reaction from Freya. Hence, he quickly softened his tone and said calmly, "It's my fault for speaking out of turn, so just keep being yourself. My feelings for you should never be a burden. Besides, those feelings are in the past now. I've gradually lost those emotions for you."Connor picked up his glass and took a sip of ice-cold water while silently reminding himself. From now on, his feelings for Freya would only exist in his thoughts, in the quiet of the night. They would always remain a secret.Freya finally felt relieved after seeing the serious expression on Connor's face, the same serious look he had when demonstrating a carotid artery puncture.She genuinely didn't know how to handle these situations as things were straightforward in her world. She had clearly told Connor she was married, hinting she would never reciprocate his feelings.However, letting Connor misunderstand her this time was indeed her fau

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
Crossing Paths With Love Again Chapter 92
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
