“Me?”Freya was a little stunned. “Are you sure?”“Actually, I suspect that the people who rescued Patrick from prison and the people who are targeting Hill Corporation are the same,” Catherine said with a complicated tone, “It’s too much of a coincidence. Both events happened at the same time and the orders came from the executive council.”“You mean… because I offended Patrick, those people are targeting Hill Corporation as you’re my friend and Shaun is your boyfriend?”“No, I suspect that it’s Linda.”Catherine made a guess. “We know very well about the Jackson family’s ability, especially after seeing the look on the faces of Patrick’s parents. They were really powerless and even gave up on saving their son, but he was suddenly released. It’s definitely thanks to someone close to him and who wanted to save him, so it’s very likely to be Linda.”“Linda?” Freya was astonished. “Is she that capable? As far as I know, Linda has been overwhelmed these days. The Shelby family is go
“Actually, I think it was Linda who incited him.”Catherine said, “We’ve known Patrick for a long time. He’s actually a little similar to Ethan, but he’s not as despicable as Ethan when it comes to the business world. Every step he takes is genuine, and he has never thought about taking shortcuts. To put it bluntly, he’s just indecisive when it comes to relationships. He’s naive and easily cheated by innocent-looking but calculative women.”Freya was silent. She agreed with Catherine on that point.“Look, didn’t Ethan come to his senses later?” Catherine continued.“That’s because what Rebecca loved wasn’t Ethan himself. What she loved were his bright prospects. When Ethan was left with nothing, she wanted nothing more than to get rid of him. But Linda… truly loves Patrick.” Freya suddenly lowered her voice. “If she didn’t love him, she would’ve given up on him already. I think… now that Patrick has been released, he’ll be even more grateful to Linda.”“You’ve forgotten something.
Rodney’s handsome face immediately turned dark.“By the way,” Freya suddenly looked back as an odd look flashed on her beautiful face. “Well… I might be seeing Patrick often in the coming days.”Rodney froze and blew up after a few seconds. “Freya Lynch, are you insane? You’re still going to him even after what he did to you? Are you that unwilling to move on from him? Are you that foolish?”“I’m less of a fool than you are.”Freya originally wanted to have a proper talk with him, but his unpleasant words had made her angry.“I’ve already turned over a new leaf, but you’re the one who wants to meet him while carrying my child. Don’t even think about it,” Rodney said angrily, “You’d better know your place and don’t embarrass the Snow family. Did you forget how you were slapped back then? Wake up.”“I know all that. Don’t talk as if I’m that kind of person. I’m different from you. I want to meet him because I want to find out who saved him. Cathy said that the person who saved Patr
Then, Rodney hurried away. His figure looked like he was fleeing.Freya stared and finally reacted.Sinusitis?Did he think she was stupid?Did he get a nosebleed from being too excited after seeing her?She was originally a little embarrassed, but she suddenly found it interesting.Was there a need for such an exaggerated reaction? It was not like he had never seen a woman before. He made it seem as though he had never seen a woman’s bare flesh in his life. Tsk, his fire burned quite strongly.After changing into loose loungewear, Freya put on a gloating face.She knocked on the door of the next room. “Hey, Rodney, have you died of blood loss?”Bam!The door was suddenly opened, and Rodney appeared after changing into a mint-green shirt. The refreshing color made him more pretty and charming, like a complete lady killer.Although Freya thought the colors this man wore were too over-the-top, she had to admit that the bright colors of his clothes made him look like a teen ido
Rodney sneered.She was not trying to mock him? It was clearly an undisguised personal attack.“Freya Lynch, you’re mocking my masculinity. I’ll prove it to you right now.” Rodney pressed one hand on her shoulder and slammed the other on the wall.The man’s body was much taller than her.Although he was not a bulky man, it still made her tense and she found it a little difficult to breathe when his aura pressed down on her. Furthermore, he had just showered, so there was a faint fragrance on his skin.However, Freya refused to admit defeat. She looked up as her eyes curved into a smile. “Are you sure you want to prove yourself to a woman who’s five months pregnant? If I resist, won’t it cause two deaths instead of one?”Rodney, who had summoned up his courage after a lot of difficulties, instantly deflated like a balloon.“Freya, you’re really cruel. Just you wait. I’ll settle the score with you sooner or later.” Rodney could only hold back and snort.Freya clicked her tongue.
“...”Freya was stupefied.She gawked at Rodney in front of her. His pretty face turned slightly red and he looked a little embarrassed. For some reason, she found that he was slightly… cute…?Rodney scoffed and pretended that he was still high and mighty as though he was a haughty peacock. “Since we’re married now, I can’t get another woman to solve my needs. Even if you agree, I can’t do it.”“Oh.”Freya suddenly did not know what to say. It was probably because she did not expect him to be so aware. “You’re not saying that just to look good in front of me, are you?”Rodney, who was being questioned again, glared at her. “I’m serious. I’m also serious about this relationship. Freya, I’ve never thought about divorcing you after getting married.”“What?” Freya was stunned. “Didn’t we agree to wait until after your uncle became prime minister…”“I’ll tell you the truth. Since we’re married, I’m prepared to give my child a complete family. Although we fight all the time, I don’t
“I hope everything will go according to your plan.” Freya sighed.“Freya, when it comes to people like Patrick, rather than preaching to him about reason, it’s better to just shed a few tears. This is why you lost to Linda and why you haven’t gotten back at her yet.“...”Freya was extremely depressed.Although Catherine was right, she still found the truth a little hard to accept.It seemed years of hard work and effort could not compare to a few tears....Before long, Patrick appeared in her field of vision.It was obvious that his previous time in prison had dealt a blow to him. He had lost a lot of weight and his shirt looked loose. He used to look handsome and gentle, but now, he looked dejected and gloomy.This Patrick was not the elegant and graceful young man Freya used to love.She sighed in her heart and drove the car over. She wound down the window. “Get in. Let’s find a place to talk.”Patrick sat in the car and looked at her coldly. She was wearing a long purpl
Freya yelled. Coupled with the tears in her eyes, Patrick’s heart suddenly tightened.“Freya, since you still care about me, why didn’t you get back together with me when I went to you back then? If we got back together, we wouldn’t have ended up like this.”Patrick’s heart ached. How could he not have any regrets about their relationship?Yes, he was dating Linda, but it was not the same as when he was dating Freya.He only agreed to date Linda because she had done too much for him, and because he knew that it was impossible for Freya and him to be together anymore.“Because I really couldn’t stand how you and Linda were always together. You’d spend more time with her than with me. I felt like you didn’t love me.”Freya lowered her head and told the truth. “If she were your real sister, then I’d have nothing to say, but she isn’t. I can only support two people in a relationship, including myself. Later, I moved to Canberra because I wanted to slowly forget about you and start af
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester
Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis
Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do
Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
