Crossing Paths With Love Again Chapter 87
Freya showed Harper five fingers."Fifty grand?" Harper asked."Do you think I'm only worth 50 grand after so many years of writing?" Freya pretended to be offended."Do you mean 500,000 dollars?" Harper was shocked. "How did you receive so much for writing novels? Did your novel become viral?""I sold the rights to my novel for a TV adaptation. After tax deductions, I still have more than 500,000 dollars left. If you need it, I can lend it to you. I don't need this money for now." Freya was telling the truth. Besides getting a gift for Daniel, she didn't need money for anything else. Moreover, she already bought the gift.Harper wasn't going to bother with the formalities. "You're doing well, even selling the rights for your novel. That's amazing! I'll ask for your help if I need the money at that time." "Sure."They started discussing the bookstore—from the location to the interior design, even about the dining table and couches. They eventually felt tired. Only then did Ha

In the next few days, Freya didn't have to go jogging in the morning, but she couldn't skip the one-hour walk after dinner.Gradually, she loved taking a walk with Daniel. On the walk, they would casually talk about many topics.On this day, she went for a walk as usual with him. Even though it was a winter night, it didn't deter people from going out on dates. It was almost New Year's, and the trees lining the streets were decorated in lights of all shapes."Does your best friend, Harper, have a boyfriend now?" Daniel asked."No. She's been really busy recently. Besides working, she has to keep a tab on the renovation of her house and store every day."After Harper discussed it with her parents, they decided to open up a bookstore, which also provided a self-study space and café. Initially, Freya lent her 300,000 dollars, and even the IOU was already drafted. However, Harper's parents thought it wasn't fair because Freya was the one who came up with the idea and money, so the

On Saturday, Harper and her blind date agreed to meet in a café in a mall at 10:00 am. After breakfast, Freya hung around the house until Daniel drove her over when it was almost time.By the time she arrived, Harper was already waiting for her at the mall entrance. Harper greeted Daniel politely and took Freya away by her arm."There's still some time. We'll buy some beverages. There's a decent beverage booth on the second floor. The drinks are refreshing and not too sweet. My colleagues are always ordering them for delivery."Freya tilted her head, resting it on Harper's shoulder intimately with a happy expression. "Thanks, Ms. York. You can always count me in whenever there's something delicious."Harper giggled. "Of course. You're my best friend!""By the way, Harper. Have you given up on marriage?" Freya wasn't sure what Harper's thoughts on this were."Every woman dreams of marriage, but it takes a lot of courage to spend the rest of your life with another person. Maybe som

Freya and Harper arrived at the café right on time at 10:00 am after buying their drinks. As soon as they entered, a man looked in their direction. They exchanged nods. Harper led Freya to a seat across from the man. "Mr. George Cullen?" "Yes, that's me," George replied. He stood up. "Ms. York." George's gaze lingered on Harper. "Would you like something to drink?" Harper sat down and showed the drink in her hand. "Thank you, but we already bought some." Since this was just a blind date, they probably wouldn't meet again. Harper didn't bother introducing Freya. Freya observed George quietly. He wore a perfectly tailored suit. His hair was slicked back and glossy. He carried the pleasant scent of cologne, and the watch he was wearing looked expensive. Yet something about him felt off. He was somehow lacking in masculine energy. "Ms. York, I can tell you're a straightforward and efficient person from the way you dress, so I'll get straight to the point." George was rubbi

Nathan was holding a glass in his hand. He stood beside George, looking down at him disdainfully. "You!" George shot to his feet. Trembling, he pointed at Nathan. He seemed torn between lashing out or cleaning his coffee-soaked clothes. "What about me?" Nathan pushed George back into his chair effortlessly. "Since you're a bottom, just continue being a slut. Why are you here to disgust others? I'm sure you have a mother. This is how you show respect to women?" Freya applauded silently. She was giving Nathan a mental standing ovation. What a sharp tongue!Though Nathan's words were harsh, they rang true. They were meeting for the first time, yet George had casually proposed to use Harper as a surrogate. It was outrageous. George deserved the scolding. Given how society worked nowadays, Freya had no prejudice against homosexuality. What angered her was George's disrespect for women. Yet no matter how furious she was, she couldn't conjure up the kind of words that would truly

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

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 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

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
