Although it was nighttime, there were many visitors around. Some came with a group of friends, while some were young couples. As the weather was a little chilly, everyone was dressed in thick clothes and hugging each other.Freya was quite dazed by the bustling scene around her.During her university years, she used to go out and have fun with her friends like this too. However, she hardly did so ever since she started working. In fact, she was quite young and was now at her best age. Nevertheless, she was devastated by what had happened in recent years.Being here at this moment made her feel as though she was taken back to her younger days. Those days were wonderfully and rashly spent. Also, the future was filled with endless possibilities.As such, she had forgotten that Ryan was holding her hand.“Hold me tight. There are too many people here. Don’t get lost.” Ryan turned around and reminded her.“Okay.”Freya nodded. When she lowered her head, she saw her hand being tig
Ryan turned around and promptly swallowed the ice cream without being bothered about Freya. After finishing it, he gasped in pain. “Stop hitting me. The coldness of the ice cream is hurting my teeth.”“Serves you right. Who told you to snatch my ice cream?” Seeing him in a sorry state, Freya was both amused and angry.“I’m worried that you’ll get a stomach ache…” Ryan threw a helpless look at her while making the same remark. However, Freya was swayed this time.After pursing her pretty, thin lips, she took out a brown scarf from a paper bag and handed it to him. “I bought it for you just now. You’re not allowed to dislike it for being ugly, or I’ll break off our relationship.”Ryan swiftly unfolded the scarf to take a look at it. He wrapped it around his neck and flashed a smile, showing a row of white teeth. “Am I handsome?” Freya burst into laughter. “That’s tacky.”“How is it tacky?” Ryan’s face darkened right away.“I mean the way you’re wearing the scarf is tacky.” Freya
“Let’s get off after the Ferris wheel completes one rotation,” Freya said helplessly.“Don’t be scared. I’ll come and sit with you.” Ryan headed toward her.With that, the Ferris wheel shook twice. Freya yelled and wrapped her hands around his arm. She was so nervous that she did not dare look outside. Ryan extended his hand to hold her shoulders. With a gentle voice, he said into her ear, “Look at the night view…”Bewitched by his voice, Freya looked down. Bang! Suddenly, beautiful fireworks were set off from the palace attraction. The two of them happened to reach the top of the Ferris wheel ride, so the fireworks were so close to them as though they were only a stone's throw away.Any woman would be fond of beautiful things.Freya had never seen such beautiful fireworks from such a high vantage point in her life. On this starry night, there seemed to be an extremely gorgeous galaxy around the two of them. Those red, yellow, blue, green lights… resembled daisies and flying com
It was only after the crowd dispersed that Freya asked curiously, “Is Cabin 14 of the Ferris wheel such a hit?”“Yeah. I booked it by pulling some strings.”Ryan laughed and explained, “Since we’re here, we should definitely take a ride in the most unique cabin.”“But… that’s for couples.” Freya felt something strange, but the feeling was unspeakable.“What an unreasonable comment you made. Does it mean that I have no right to choose that cabin because I’m single?” At that point, Ryan threw a sulky glance at her.“I didn’t… mean it,” Freya stammered to deny it at once. “I’ve never taken a ride here before, and I had no one to accompany me. But after watching the ride online, I was curious about it.” Ryan gazed at her with a smile. “Thanks for coming with me tonight. The fireworks were gorgeous.”“I think so too.”Freya tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled.Why did she overthink things? Happiness was all that mattered.“I’m going to take you for another activity…”Ryan
However, Freya did not expect herself to have difficulty falling asleep.Whenever she closed her eyes, the grand fireworks display tonight would cross her mind. She was so excited that she could not sleep.Fortunately, she was young. When she woke up the next day, she still looked good.Ryan came over while she was having breakfast. Today, he was wearing a black jacket with a white shirt beneath as well as a brown scarf around his neck.At first glance, Freya could recognize the scarf. She had given it to him yesterday. She did not expect that he would still be wearing it today.Deep down, she was quite pleased that he liked the gift she gave him.As such, she had a few more pancakes for breakfast.After Heidi had some porridge, she asked with a smile, “Both of you came back together last night. Where did you go?”Before Freya could answer, Ryan said lazily, “She was in a bad mood. I was worried that she couldn’t get over some things, so I went out with her for a drink.”Heidi
“Are you referring to the incident yesterday?” Ryan shoved his hands into his pocket with a frank expression. “I was worried that my mom would nag me as she told me to socialize with a few international guests yesterday. I had to find a good excuse. It was great to make an excuse about you wanting to drink because you were sad. After all, it’s a problem if a woman gets drunk outside.” “It turns out that you had something important going on yesterday.” Freya began to feel guilty. “Don’t do this again next time. After all, socializing is important…”“Forget it. It’s more relaxing to deal with you than those international guests.” Ryan stroked her head. “Don’t overthink things. You should start chatting with the few people my mom introduced to you. Having said that, don’t contact them abruptly. Tell me which person you have a good impression of first, and I’ll help you judge their character. Those rich men are good at hiding their tricks. From their appearance alone, you can’t tell whe
Catherine’s mouth twitched. “I think their looks are acceptable, considering that they look elegant and decent with beautiful features. Of course, they’re incomparable to Patrick, Rodney, and Ryan. You must know that it’s rare to find a capable, handsome, and kind family man.”Freya was speechless.She had been in touch with some wealthy people in Canberra. Although Shaun and Chester were very handsome, many noble and wealthy men had long become bald and fat. It was good enough that they could fix those problems. Patrick’s good looks were probably why Linda kept pestering Patrick shamelessly. As for Rodney, he had good looks too, which explained why Sarah treated him as a backup. Fine. She had better not care too much about one’s appearance.Perhaps it would be safer to have a partner who was less handsome.Just like that, Freya was chatting mindlessly with the men. Nevertheless, it was a bit hectic to chat with the men while working. In particular, they were always chatting abou
“Alright, then. Can you go to a movie with me after your dinner?” Ryan gazed at Freya with an expression filled with anticipation. “A thriller started screening last night, and I really want to watch it.”Freya had heard of the thriller Ryan mentioned as well. It seemed to have received many praises and was a box-office hit.However, leaving after having dinner with Jack on a festive day like that was not very polite. What if he had arranged other activities?“You don’t want to? It’s okay then.” Ryan sighed disappointedly and turned to leave after seeing that Freya did not say a word.“No… It’s not that I don’t want to. You can book the tickets. I should be done with dinner by 8:00 p.m.,” Freya could not help but say. “Alright. I’ll book the tickets for the 8:30 p.m. movie. Tell me where you’re having dinner afterward, and I’ll drive over to pick you up.” Upon hearing Freya’s words, Ryan turned his head and smiled with his eyes.“Okay.”Freya nodded, and only after Ryan did she
