Freya’s mind went blank for a few seconds before she stammered, “A good personality and temper, loyal to relationships, patient toward children, able to tolerate me, and will treat me well when I’m young or even when I’m old in the future. Of course, he has to look decent. He doesn’t have to be super handsome, but he can’t look crooked too. His financial situation shouldn’t be too bad. I don’t dislike guys who don’t have a wealthy family background, but there will be more common topics between us if we’re of equal status.”Ryan gave a profound response. “Mm.”Freya was embarrassed. “Are my standards too high?”“They are not high,” Ryan said as he smiled. “Aside from looks which are inherited from parents and uncontrollable, there is no need for a man to marry a wife if he can’t be gentle, caring, and loyal to his significant other. He can just get a sitter.”“You think I’m right too, right?” Freya was delighted. “I don’t want to be choosy either, but I have no choice. It’s precisel
Therefore, Ryan whispered in her ear again, “It’s okay. I don’t mind.”“...”Freya avoided him. She really did not want to keep whispering with him in the ear like that. It was too intimate, so much that she felt like half of her brain had gone numb.As for Ryan grazing her ear just now, he might have done it accidentally.However, her reaction was a little too big. Was it because she had gotten older and that she was feeling lonely?It… could not be, right?Freya’s face flushed red, and she started spacing out. She did not pay attention to what was going on in the middle of the movie.When they came out of the cinema after the movie, it was already past 11:00 p.m.The mall was closed, so the audience who were leaving could only take the elevator downstairs. As there were many people, the small elevator was packed.Freya was in the corner but not squeezed because Ryan was standing before her. He put his hands against the elevator walls and maintained a distance from her.Then
Ryan almost lost control.He could only turn his face away. “Get in the car. Let’s go home.”On the way home, Freya opened the box. There was a starry moon necklace inside, and tiny diamonds were embedded on a small moon. It was dazzling.“It’s so pretty,” Freya praised, and her eyes lit up. “But… It must be expensive.”“It’s not expensive. Just a few thousand dollars. There aren’t a lot of diamonds on it.” Ryan did not want her to feel burdened.A few thousand dollars was indeed not expensive to a family like theirs.However, as the person receiving the present, Freya felt embarrassed. “You’ve given me such a good gift, but I don’t have anything for you…”“Didn’t you give me a scarf last time?” Ryan said nonchalantly with a smile.“That scarf was only more than a hundred dollars…”“If you feel embarrassed, I don’t mind you giving me another small gift.” Ryan stopped being polite. “However, there’s no need to return the gift. You don’t have to get me a present of the same valu
“Don’t you know that a woman giving a man a belt means she wants to tie him to her with it?” Catherine said helplessly.“Can your thoughts be purer? He was the one who wanted me to give him a belt because his belt isn’t great.” Freya rolled her eyes at Catherine.Catherine frowned. It was so obvious. She could not believe that Freya had not sensed anything at all. “Is he hinting something to you?”“You think too much. Our relationship is very pure. Moreover, he…”Freya’s voice stopped. She could not say that Ryan liked men. “He just treats me like a sister. I even gave him a scarf a few days ago.”“...”Catherine did not know what to say.Both Ryan and Freya’s actions were too intimate, yet Freya did not seem to notice anything at all.Catherine did not know whether Ryan was too crafty or Freya was just too dense.“Okay. I’ll go shopping with you in the afternoon.”It was quite easy to choose a men’s belt, and Freya paid for it. When she was pushing Dani to the garden for a w
It was in the morning, and Freya had woken up earlier than usual. She heard two maids who were doing the cleaning discussing in hushed voices.“Is what you all said true?”“I’m not sure, but there might be a possibility. I’ve never seen Young Master dating any women before.”“...”“What are you two talking about?” Freya suddenly spoke, which startled the two maids, and their brooms fell to the ground.“No… Nothing.” The maids’ faces were pale.Freya looked at their nervous expressions and put on a stern look. “Tell me the truth. I heard you two were talking about the young master with my own two ears. Is it Ryan?”“Miss Lynch, please don’t misunderstand.” The maids were so frightened that their bodies were shaking. “We weren’t talking about it on purpose. We were only curious because we saw the news and exchanged a few words about it. We won’t dare to do it again.”“What news?” Freya had just woken up, so she had not looked at her phone yet.“This morning’s news. It’s about Yo
After standing there for over ten minutes, Freya saw Ryan walking downstairs. His handsome face was ashen, and a scar was on his forehead. He was probably hit by something.“Are you… okay?”Freya looked at him nervously. “Do you need…”“No need.” Ryan lowered his head and walked outside.“Stop right there.” Nathan’s somber voice sounded from behind. “I don’t care how you do it, but you must clarify this matter. Also, you have to get a girlfriend within half a month. I can’t afford to lose my dignity.”“Lose your dignity?” Ryan looked back and gave a deep, sarcastic laugh. “As your son, I don’t even have the right to fall in love with someone.”“Shut your mouth, Ryan. Same-sex marriage may be legal, but don’t ruin your life.” Nathan glared at him. “Break off your relationship with him right away.”Ryan pursed his thin lips before he turned around and walked away.Then, the living room fell into an eerie silence.Freya could feel her scalp turn numb. Nathan’s reaction had made h
“Hi. May I know whether you’re the phone owner’s friend? He has drunk a lot in the bar. I’m the server here.”“I am.” Freya immediately leaped to her feet. “Which bar is that? I’ll come right away.”After the server told her the address, she informed the sitter about it, took the car key, and hurried over to the bar.Not many cars were on the road in the dead of night.As such, she arrived there in about a half an hour’s drive.Ryan was lying on a couch in the corner of the dark bar. One of his hands was resting on his eyes while the other was holding a wine bottle, looking drunk. He did not move a muscle. She walked over and glanced at the empty wine bottles on the table. Then, she pushed Ryan violently.He moved his arms. With his drunken eyes, he looked at her in confusion and dejection. On his forehead, the scar from being hit was still visible.The sight of him tore at her heartstrings for a moment. Having known Ryan for a long time, she had seen many of his sides. Howe
In the end, Ryan left Freya only when both of them could not breathe from the kiss. Nevertheless, he shut his eyes and smiled as his lips rested on Freya’s. “Is this how it feels to kiss a woman?” His breathing surrounded her. From his handsome face, he looked like a kid who had gotten candy.At that moment, Freya was at a loss for words. She did not even dare to look into his eyes. The nervousness, embarrassment, shyness, and awkwardness that overwhelmed her made her look like a puppet.The only thought on her mind was that she and Ryan had kissed…“W-We…”She spent a long time stammering anxiously, but before she could finish her sentence, Ryan suddenly fell on her body and passed out.“...”Freya stood under the tree like a statue. She could not believe that he fell asleep right after kissing her.How was she going to bring him into the car?“Madam, do you need me to help you with bringing your boyfriend into the car?” Fortunately, a security guard at the door came ove
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
