Heidi was speechless. “It’s precisely because of your dad that I hardly voiced my opinions before this. I shall be honest with you today. It was Ryan who pulled strings in this matter, but I think he did it right. Sarah will be a stumbling block for Rodney sooner or later.”“Fine. I didn’t comment on anything either.” Nathan waved his hand and swiftly changed the subject. “By the way, I have a summit to attend in Country D a few days later. I’ll be there with your mom for five days. I need to meet up with hprime ministers of six to seven other countries. You guys take care of each other at home. Freya, if you need anything, feel free to ask Ryan for help.”Freya froze for a moment before she quickly nodded.After having a mouthful of food, she hesitated for an instant. She felt the need to officially apologize to them because of the incident earlier. “Godfather, Godmom, I’m sorry. Regarding Sarah’s kidnapping… I was too impulsive. I’ve caused both of you trouble. I promise…” “Sill
“Dani’s probably… used to having Young Master around.” Aunty Cally had no choice but to tell the truth, “Recently, it’s Young Master who has been getting Dani to sleep at night.”“...”In that case, Freya’s daughter was overly attached to Ryan, huh?As Dani’s mother, Freya found herself in an odd spot to be in.Knock, knock.A few knocks sounded on the bedroom door. Subsequently, Ryan’s voice sounded. “Aunty Cally, I heard Dani crying.”Aunty Cally turned her gaze to Freya. Only after she saw Freya nodding helplessly did she open the door.Ryan was wearing a set of white pajamas at the door. He reached out to carry Dani skilfully. After Ryan soothed her for a short while, she stopped crying and smiled sweetly.Freya was completely at a loss for words. She seriously doubted if her daughter could not resist handsome men just like her.Aunty Cally sighed. “Ah, Dani likes Young Master, who’s her biological uncle. No wonder it’s different.”Freya’s mouth twitched. Deep down, she w
When this thought crossed Freya’s mind, Ryan was already kneeling on the edge of her bed. He bent over and placed Dani gently on the left side.With this pose, a large part of his body was arched over Freya.He smelled like fresh mint after bathing. Freya looked up and noticed that his skin was fair while his features were attractive. His hair that had been washed hung over his forehead. At first glance, he looked like a university student, which was different from when he was dressed at work. He was handsome and cute at this moment. He was almost her age, yet he was very youthful.Freya turned her eyes from his pinkish lips to his prominent chin and exquisite collarbone.As he was bending his body, the collar of his pajama shirt was facing downward, so she could even see his chest...Somehow, her heart was racing madly.In truth, she did not want to see it. It was just that as a divorced young woman who enjoyed appreciating beautiful things, she could not help but glance at it
“Oh.”A faint smile flashed across Ryan’s eyes.After feeding Dani milk, he had breakfast with one hand.Once Dani finished the milk, her round face expressed her delight.Freya blinked her eyes. Indeed, her daughter was born to be a… princess. “Hand Dani over to Aunty Cally so that you can have breakfast first.” Freya could not stand the situation.“It’s fine. Dani is so cute. Why don’t you let her acknowledge me as her godfather?” Ryan said with a grin.“Cough, cough.”Freya choked. “Stop kidding.”“Do I look like I’m kidding? Forget it. We’ll talk about it when my parents are back.” Ryan changed the topic. “Do you want to eat hotpot tonight?”Freya’s eyes lit up. Recently, she had been having a bland diet. “But… the doctor said I can’t take spicy food.”“Don’t go for something that’s too spicy, then. Wait for me and we’ll eat hotpot together tonight. I’ll buy the ingredients after work. What do you want to eat?”“Sliced mutton, chicken, prawns, scallops, sliced beef, ne
Indeed, the chocolate was so tasty that Freya could not stop eating it. However, if she continued eating it, she would become obese.She took out her phone sulkily to call Ryan. “Can you not send so many snacks over? I’ve grown fatter in the hospital. Are you trying to make me obese?”“In that case… I’ll ask someone to take the chocolate away,” Ryan said in a low voice, “What a pity. After all, my friend told me one box of chocolate cost 8,000 dollars. Only the royal family in Country B can afford it…” 8,000 dollars…Freya’s mouth twitched. “Hang on. Uh, since you’ve sent it over, you can leave it here. This time, I’ll help you finish it, but you can’t do this again next time.”“Alright, alright, Madam Lynch.” Ryan flattered her courteously.Freya blushed. “Why are you calling me Madam Lynch? It makes me sound so old. I’m just a few months older than you.”“You’re still older than me. It means I’m younger.”“Get lost.”Unable to bring herself to listen to his words, Freya hun
“Didn’t Snow Corporation already make an announcement?” Upon hearing Rory’s voice, Rodney felt so annoyed that his temples jerked. It seemed that he was on the brink of breaking down.“What on earth did you do?” Rory raised his voice in disbelief. “You’ve been in charge of the alternative energy company. That bunch of old men actually dared to kick you out, huh?”“Yeah. My sister has long planted someone by my side. I just found out not long ago.” Rodney forced a smile. “My family deserted me again.”Rory was completely at a loss for words. “You can get Shaun and Chester to help you. With their competence, they can surely deal with Jessica together.”“Enough. Stop mentioning the two of them.”Rodney felt something piercing his heart.He was no fool. When he kicked up a fuss in the Hill family’s manor that day, he had a falling-out with Shaun. As for Chester, he did not quarrel with him, but there was already conflict between them. When Rodney stayed in the hospital to keep Sarah
Rodney had gone through this when the Snow family cut all ties with him last time.Nevertheless, he was not as helpless at that time.Even though he had lost everything back then, at least he still had the woman he loved.However, things are different now. Sarah was still with him, but he felt like he had nothing left.“President Snow…” Rodney’s assistant, Hans, went to his side. He watched the man who was clutching his head and crouching on the floor with a sad gaze. Rodney raised his head. His pretty eyes were lost and empty. “President Snow, I’m sorry. This is my… resignation letter. I’ve worked with you for six years, so I wish to hand this to you personally when I leave.” Hans handed over the resignation document. Rodney glanced at the document and grabbed Hans’s collar in disbelief. “Even you’re leaving me too. No matter how shabby I am, I still have Osher Corporation. There are many people fighting to be my assistant. Why? Is being Osher Corporation’s assistant not eno
Rodney did not say another word.Looking at the situation, Hans left silently.No one knew how long Rodney stood downstairs.…Rodney did not come to the ward even though Sarah had waited a long time.The nurse came to put her on the IV drip. It was a new nurse who came that day, and she did not manage to insert the needle properly the first time. As such, Sarah threw a tantrum. “Get the head nurse over to insert the needle for me. Doesn’t she know my identity? Why did she assign some random person who treats me like a lab rat? Are you guys asking to get fired?”The nurse’s expression turned cold. “I know even without you telling me. You’re a mistress, right?”“Who’s a mistress? Do you have a death wish?” Sarah immediately sat up straight. Her face, which was covered in wounds, looked mean and scary. “I’ll have someone fire you right now.”If it were before, the nurse would be afraid. However, she did not want to tolerate it anymore. “Do you really think you’ll marry the succ
