“It’s normal for married couples to quarrel,” Rodney said awkwardly. “Didn’t you and Uncle quarrel before too?”“But your uncle wasn’t involved with his ex. When I was younger, I did suspect him. However, it was all just hearsay.”Heidi sipped her coffee to soothe her stomach before saying in a serious tone, “Rodney, Freya is serious about divorcing you. She’s not kidding nor forcing you to do something. She’s determined to do that because she’s frustrated.”Rodney’s heart sank, and a rush of helplessness overcame him. “Aunty Heidi, please help me to talk her out of it. I’ve never betrayed her. Why does she have to take it so far? Getting a divorce won’t be good for our child. Can’t she think for the sake of our child?”Heidi frowned. Although this nephew of hers sounded anxious, he was also seemingly blaming Freya for not being understanding.Indeed, Rodney was self-willed and tended to drive himself into a blind alley. However, Heidi did not expect him to be so extreme.“I won’
“Go back and calm yourself down. The Lodge isn’t a place for you to kick up a fuss.” Although Heidi’s tone was gentle, her eyes were fierce.After glancing around for a moment, he turned around and left in a huff.Ryan walked down the stairs from the second floor with his hand on the handrail. “Mom, was what I said right? He’s hopeless.”Heidi sighed in despair. “If he weren’t your cousin, I wouldn’t have explained to him so patiently. I really have no idea when he became like this. Although he was naughty when he was young, he would listen to reason.”“He has been behaving like this ever since he fell for Sarah.” Ryan let out a sigh. “I’m going to the back to see if Freya needs anything.”“Mm.” Heidi nodded before she said pathetically, “She’s quite pitiful. You should give her some advice.”After nodding, Ryan headed to the courtyard behind. …There were over ten buildings in the prime minister’s residence.The front courtyard was Nathan’s workplace, whereas the back courty
Aunty Loretta said with a grin, “Young Master is the best, to have had the ability to attract kids since he was young.”Upon noticing Freya’s confused expression, Aunty Loretta said, “Madam’s relatives always bring the kids over here to play, and the kids love playing with Young Master the most. Young Master is very patient with them. If I were to deal with those little devils, I’d feel troubled.”Freya was filled with mixed feelings as it was her first time seeing this side of Ryan.“Are you very fond of kids?” She could not help but say, “In fact, you’re not young anymore. You can get a girlfriend and have a child.”Ryan gave a vague smile. “Why are you behaving like my mom? I’m not even at the age where I need to get married.”Freya thought about it and reckoned that he was right. After all, he was a few months younger than her.She was 26 this year. It was appropriate for women of this age in Canberra to get married, let alone men. It would not be an issue for them to get mar
As soon as the car was parked, Rodney scrambled over.He was so worried that he did not sleep the entire night. With his unshaven face, he looked very disheveled. “Freya, you’re here…”He walked up to her and watched her get out of the car. Dressed in a pink hoodie and a pair of jeans covering her legs, she looked like a college student rather than a mother who had just given birth to a child.He hurried over and extended his hands to hold Freya, but she promptly dodged him.Desperate, he wanted to hug her by force. However, a strong hand stretched out and stopped him. “Rodney, Freya is here to talk about her divorce.” Ryan stared at Rodney gently, but his eyes carried a hint of warning.The second Rodney heard the word ‘divorce’, he glanced at Ryan, who was standing in front of Freya. The two of them were around the same age. One was pretty, and the other was handsome.The scene was an eyesore to him, and it made him boil with anger. “Ryan Snow, go away.”He moved Ryan’s
“Fine. You don’t have to explain further.” Freya looked at Rodney. “Rodney, if you explain again, I’ll find you even more disgusting. Unfortunately, you have no self-awareness at all.”Her eyes made no pretense of the hatred she felt.This time, Rodney was indeed hurt. She hated him?Why did she hate him?Did they have to end up like this?“Let’s go in.” Heidi’s head hurt listening to their argument. Anyway, she knew that it was no use communicating with Rodney. Hence, she walked directly into the living room.It was early in the morning, but everyone in the Snow family was there.Since Freya was determined to divorce Rodney, she would not treat the elders of the Snow family as cautiously as she did before.She placed the divorce papers on the table right away.Old Master Snow’s expression turned ghastly while Wendy leaped to her feet anxiously. “Freya—”“Mom,” Freya interrupted her. “This might be the last time I’m calling you Mom. I’m thankful for the Snow family’s care a
“Do you have to take it that far?”Freya’s gaze made Rodney go insane. “You hate me just because I’m helping Sarah out. Please, I’m your husband,” Rodney roared.He was unsure if he was shouting because of his disappointment in her or that he could not accept the situation. All it took was a few days for their relationship to fall apart.“Stop it.” Freya’s eyes mocked him. “When I caught Sarah in the apartment the day before yesterday, that was the last chance I gave you, but you didn’t cherish it. Instead, you hugged Sarah and criticized me. From that moment onward, our relationship has come to an end.”Rodney froze.Did it mean that she had already decided to get a divorce that day?He was so foolish to think that she was just angry for a while. “Is there a need to act like this?” he muttered. He seemed as though he could not resign himself to the truth, yet he was throwing piercing remarks.“Shut up,” Old Master Snow shouted at Rodney as he flew into a fury. Was Rodney unaw
“I won’t approve the divorce unless I’m dead.” Rodney kicked the table in front of him and glowered at Freya. Then, he turned around and rushed out.The Snows fell silent. After some time, Wendy said arduously, “Now that Rodney has left, let’s talk about your wedding some other day…”“I don’t want to drag this further,” Freya said indifferently. “Just decide whether you agree on our divorce now. If you do, please advise Rodney. I’m tired of such a life.”Old Master Snow’s face was grim.If they agreed to it, what would happen if Rodney, that b*stard, really does marry Sarah into the family?If they did not agree with it, Freya might go mad and kill Rodney one day, which would cause a lot of problems. At this moment, Heidi said, “Dad, I’ve discussed this with Nathan. Our grandchildren will have their own lives. Now that the Snow family is stable, we can’t be so inconsiderate toward Freya. After all, she has sacrificed a lot for the Snow family. We all know that Sarah should not b
Ryan thought to himself that Freya must hate Sarah very much.How much did Sarah hurt her?“So… did you actually like Rodney?” Ryan suddenly asked, his cool eyes sparkling with anticipation.“There was a time when he treated Dani and me well, and it was quite romantic. Besides, with his handsome looks, I definitely had feelings for him. At that time, I really did think about spending the rest of my life with him. In fact, I could choose to put up with him and be more strict with him to keep this marriage, but I don’t want to.”Freya pointed at her chest. “There’s a scar here. Even if Sarah really does leave, I’ll be reminded of how much effort I need to put in to keep such a man. Compared to Sarah, I’ll always pale into insignificance, which is why I gave up our relationship.”Her nose turned sour, and she looked out of the window. “There’s a deep scar in my heart, and I’ve tried to remove it. But Sarah would always show up and stab it. I don’t want to live in the darkness anymore
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
