Freya was utterly disappointed. “My dad can’t arrest people by force,” Ryan explained. “We’re not sure how much Rodney is willing to go for Sarah either. If Rodney spreads the word that my dad abused his status as a prime minister to randomly arrest others after we catch Sarah, it’ll leave an unerasable stain on my dad’s career. In the next election, some politicians will surely use this to defame my dad.”Freya tightened her grip on the fork and knife. Rodney. It was Rodney again. “I’m sorry. Actually, Shaun personally contacted me regarding your question as well.” Nathan sighed. “However, I told him that although I won’t make a move in this matter, I can turn a blind eye. Therefore, I asked him to figure it out himself.”Freya’s eyes lit up. She understood his meaning. After breakfast, Heidi said, “Yesterday, Rodney kept making a fuss at the gates, wanting to come in. I didn’t let him in, but I think he’ll still come over. You should hide in the official residence for the n
Ryan stared at Freya’s blushing face. He suddenly laughed. “So you’re feeling embarrassed. This isn’t a big deal. When I was studying abroad, I saw plenty of foreign women breastfeeding in public at the stations.”“...”That was another country and not Australia. Moreover, Freya was a young girl from the new generation. She was easily embarrassed. “But… I still respect women.”Ryan patted her head as he smiled. Then, he turned around and left.Freya touched the spot on her head where he had patted her just now. It felt weird. However, she did not think too much of it. After breastfeeding, Freya unboxed the cake that Ryan brought over. It was not very big, just a small slice. She took a bite of it, and it was unexpectedly tasty. The taste was similar to the authentic French desserts that she had when she was working overseas.However, the cake was too small. After finishing the slice, she was left wanting more.Therefore, Freya sent Ryan a Whatsapp message. [What’s the nam
“Miss Lynch, I heard that you’re planning to divorce Rodney Snow. Is that true?”“I heard that you both have decided to hold a wedding at the end of the year, but now it’s canceled. May I ask why you two are getting a divorce? You guys seemed to be very in love before.”“Is it because Rodney has betrayed you? Or is it because you have another man?”“What will happen to the child if you and Rodney are divorced? Will you be chased out of the Snow family and no longer be the goddaughter of the prime minister?”“That’s right. After all, everyone knows that the prime minister only took you in as his goddaughter because you were pregnant with Rodney’s child back then.”“...”A series of questions were asked. Freya, who had just come out of the laboratory, was utterly confused. She did not even know why those reporters would come over all of a sudden.She should have brought someone with her if she had known.Freya was caught off guard.She lost her balance because someone bumped i
Did people not say that Freya would not have the backing of the prime minister’s family after she and Rodney divorced? Why was the prime minister’s son helping her even now?Those reporters regretted it badly. They initially wanted to get a piece of breaking news, yet they offended someone instead.Ryan smashed another camera on the spot. His sharp gaze swept across those reporters. “I meet local and foreign reporters every day. However, this is the first time I’ve seen reporters like you bunch who have no standards at all. Are most of the reporters in Australia like all of you? Or are you guys the problematic ones? Do I have to get the Department of Communications to check whether you’re all qualified to be reporters?”“Senator Snow, we were wrong.”A female reporter stepped forward and stammered, “We were just too impatient.”Ryan went to Freya’s side and helped her up from the ground. Then, he replied to the female reporter, “You’re not impatient. You guys just like to add in
Ryan was Freya’s brother in name. However, he was also a senator, a figure that made people fear him. Screech.There was the sound of tires skidding. A limited-edition sports car stopped in front of Freya and Ryan.Rodney hurried down the car. He heard some media had found out that he and Freya had canceled the wedding. He was afraid those reporters would not dare to look for him and would look for Freya instead.However, he did not expect that he would see Ryan holding Freya’s hand when he arrived. They were about to get in the car. Freya was following Ryan with an obedient look. She did not have the haughty expression that she usually showed Rodney. With just a glance, that scene triggered Rodney intensely.“Ryan, you bastard. I knew none of your words were true.” Rodney threw a punch after he rushed over. Ryan’s eyes gleamed. Actually, he could have dodged the punch. In that split second, he pulled Freya behind him and took the punch. Seeing that Ryan, who had help
Ryan patted Freya’s shoulder to soothe her. He said, “It might’ve been that way at first, but there has to be fate between people as well. After interacting with her, my parents thought Freya was nice, so they willingly took her in as their goddaughter. My mom also believed that there was fate between them. Otherwise, why did they help Freya at the end instead of you?”After pausing for a moment, Ryan added, “Rodney, the reporters were asking the same things that you were saying just now. Many outsiders are gossiping about it as well. No wonder other people don’t respect Freya whenever she goes out. To be frank, isn’t it because you, her husband, have those same thoughts as well? That it’s only because of you that she has her current identity in Canberra?”Freya silently agreed with Ryan’s words. At the same time, he made her feel supported. In the past, Freya’s interactions with Rodney were shallow. Even in her heart, she believed that with his status, Rodney would not fall for
Rodney knew that his cousin had been clever since young. Ryan even got admitted to a top university overseas. Not only that, he had obtained certificates in various types of martial arts when he was abroad. Rodney calmed down and said furiously, “Freya, if you want to get a divorce, I’ll fight you till the end for the child’s custody rights. I don’t care what Grandpa has promised you. I won’t hand Dani over to you.”Matters that involved children were always the final straw between husband and wife. Freya was utterly infuriated. “You told me to abort the child when I was pregnant back then, but now you’re fighting me for the child’s custody rights. Do you know no shame? When the child was not feeling well and crying a few days back, you were with Sarah the whole night. You have no right to take care of Dani at all.”“Why don’t I have the right? My blood flows in the child too. Besides, I do well on usual days except for that particular night. Dani relies on me a lot too. Usually,
Freya could not understand it. No matter how awful Rodney was in the past, she thought that he still had some good traits.How did things turn out like this?“I’m sorry.” Freya glanced at Ryan while feeling depressed. “If there’s really a need to file for a divorce, I’ll solve the problem myself.”She did not want Ryan and Rodney’s relationship to turn awkward. She did not want to hold him back from his future either. Freya was well aware of Ryan’s capabilities. It was highly possible that he would become Australia’s youngest prime minister in the future.“It’s okay. You don’t have to take Rodney’s words to heart,” Ryan said nonchalantly. “But…”“Some things aren’t that simple.” Ryan reminded her. “The situation with Snow Corporation is quite different from my dad’s side. My uncle has three children.” Freya said, “But didn’t you say that the subsidiary that Rodney has will be the largest development project in the future?”After a moment of silence, Ryan glanced at her. “
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
