Chester knew everything. Yet, he still walked toward the bed and gazed at Sarah. He said, “Sarah, be more open-minded. Although Rodney has lost Snow Corporation, it also means that the Snow family won’t bother you and Rodney anymore. Both of you have gone through many hardships to finally be together. Rodney and your wishes have already been fulfilled in one way or another. From now on, stay by each other’s side. Even if your legs are crippled, Rodney is a person who takes relationships seriously. He’ll surely take good care of you.”Sarah did not feel consoled hearing Chester’s words. Instead, she almost coughed out mouthfuls of blood again. To hell with finally being together. She did not like Rodney at all!All she wanted was to be the matriarch of the Snow family. That way, all noble and influential people would fight to curry her favor.However, everything was gone.Rodney held Sarah’s hand and consoled her, “Sarah, you don’t have to think that you’ve dragged me down. I’ve n
“What ideas do you have in mind?” Freya became excited. Catherine said playfully, “Actually, Sarah doesn’t like Rodney. She’s simply using him. I think she likes Shaun more, but she just can’t get hold of Shaun at all.”“You’re right. I believe that if only Chester had shown a bit of interest in Sarah back then, she wouldn’t have chosen Rodney. Although Chester is sc*mmy, he is capable.”“Mm,” Catherine replied and smiled vaguely. “Say, once Rodney and Sarah get married — when they spend more time with each other, and Rodney’s career continues going downhill, do you think Sarah will want to have an affair when another man richer than Rodney appears?”“Ahem.”Freya, who was eating oranges, was so shocked that she choked. “Do you want Rodney to be cheated on?”“He has done the same to you. Don’t you want him to experience the feeling of being cheated on as well?” Catherine asked playfully, “Or will you feel sorry for him…”“To hell with feeling sorry.”Freya blurted out some fou
Why did she not think of that?Freya could not wait to see Rodney’s face when he was cheated on. It would be one of the most exhilarating moments in her life.…5:30 p.m.Just as the housekeeper had finished preparing the meal, Ryan entered the house with some stuff in his hands. Freya glanced at the shopping bags in his hands and asked, “Why are you back? Do you get off work this early?”“Mm. I had some business outside, so I didn’t head back to the office.”Ryan walked to the rocking crib, took a toy phone from a shopping bag, and placed it in Dani’s small hands.When Dani heard the music, she laughed happily.“You bought toys for Dani again.” Freya saw it too. She thought Ryan was spoiling Dani too much.“I bought it when I saw it while shopping for groceries at the supermarket.” Ryan’s brows arched into curves as he smiled. “There were a lot of children’s toys at the supermarket. It’s too bad that Dani is still too young. When she grows up, I can buy her Barbie dolls a
After being stunned for a while, Freya gave Ryan a thumbs up in admiration. “As expected of Young Master Ryan. Even the hotpot you eat is of high class and quality. I’m so lucky to be able to have this.”“And so?”Ryan looked up with his dark eyes that were filled with amusement. “You said you were going to treat me to a meal when I helped you last time. Yet, I’m the one treating you now. Say, how many meals do you owe me?”“You can take note of it. It’s hard for me to move around now, but I’ll return those favors slowly after I recover.”Freya had felt pressured in the past. However, perhaps it was because she owed Ryan too many favors that she eventually did not feel pressured about it anymore.Then, she eagerly took her spoon and continued scooping more vegetables from the hotpot.Ryan blocked her spoon. “What?” Freya glared at him with her big eyes, which looked as if they were whining. “Stopping someone from getting good food is more despicable than standing in the way of
“Yes, I am flat-chested from the start.” Ryan raised his eyebrows. “You’re my family now, so you’re flat-chested too, right? Don’t put yourself down as well.”Freya could not tolerate it anymore and cursed. “You’re ignorant. I’m a C cup.”“Is a C cup big? I wouldn’t know anyway,” Ryan replied as he cleared the rubbish on the table.“Don’t pretend to be innocent,” Freya said instinctively. “Men nowadays mature at a young age. You can’t possibly still be a…”Ryan raised his head. His bright eyes stared into hers. “Is that weird?”“...”F*ck. Did she just find out some breaking news?However, thinking about it, it seemed normal. Rodney was still a virgin even though he was 30 years old.Freya used to think it was rare, and she even felt touched. In the end, it was all b*llshit. A man turning bad had nothing to do with the age he lost his virginity.“Uh… It’s not weird.” Freya felt like her brain could not keep up with her mouth, and some awkward words blurted out of her. “Anywa
“Alright. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have joked about you having big boobs and no brain.”Ryan crouched beside Freya. He spoke to her while staring at Dani, “Although you’re usually clumsy, you’re quite smart when it comes to your job. Look, you’ve developed so many bottles and tubs of things. I wouldn’t be able to do it if it were me. I admired researchers like you the most when I was young.”Freya’s lips curved into a smile at the praise. However, she quickly suppressed it. “I’m not a researcher at all. I just deal with cosmetics.”“What’s wrong with cosmetics? It can make everyone prettier. Wow, if it weren’t for remarkable researchers like you, there'd be many weather-beaten faces in this world. It’s you people who make the world more beautiful.”Ryan suddenly turned his head around, and his dark eyes blinked playfully at Freya.When Freya met his eyes, she unconsciously raised her hand and slapped his shoulder lightly. “You’re exaggerating.”“I’m not exaggerating. I respect ea
“Oh, you…” Wendy once again lamented losing such a good daughter-in-law. “But my back has been doing well lately. I just have a headache from being pissed off and annoyed by a lot of things.”Freya thought that if she were to have a son like Rodney, she would not only have a headache. She would even have high blood pressure and brain hemorrhage.…Saturday was Ryan’s day off. At 9:00 a.m., the driver drove the business car to a children’s photo studio in Canberra.Freya did not ask which photo studio it was as she believed in Ryan’s competence.She only found out that the photo studio was situated among the villas near the esplanade when they arrived. The interior design was exquisite, and there were many styles for children’s photoshoots. There were also all types of designs of children’s clothing, which were all brand new. “This place must be expensive. How much is it? I’ll transfer the money to you…”Freya spoke to Ryan while the employee had gone to pour them a cup of tea
Hus…Freya’s pretty face twitched slightly. “He’s not my husband…”“Oh, then he’s your boyfriend, right?” Upon realizing that she had misspoken, the facilitator covered her mouth, feeling flustered.“...”Freya was speechless. Did Ryan and her look like they were intimate? “He’s my brother.”“...I’m sorry.”The facilitator’s face flushed red. All she knew was that the people who came to take photos today were of important status. Her boss had given them instructions personally, but she was unclear who was coming. “I really couldn’t tell because he looks around your age, and he’s patient and experienced with the child too. I’ve been working in this industry for so long. It’s rare to see dads who are much more patient than us, facilitators. He must be married, right? Your brother’s wife must be a really happy woman.”Freya laughed. “He’s not married yet…”“Really?” The facilitator felt even more embarrassed. “Okay. I’ve said the wrong thing again.”“You’re not completely wrong
