Catherine smiled bitterly. “Didn’t the prime minister’s wife introduce three excellent men to you? To be honest, those three guys weren’t bad. They’re single, decent-looking men who come from good families and have a promising future. Yet, you didn’t fancy any of them. Tell me. Where can I find better men for you? There may be very handsome guys, but they might not be reliable, while those with good personalities might not look good.”“Am I that picky?” Only then did Freya realize that problem.“You’re not picky.” Catherine told her the truth, “It’s just that when you have better options before, those who come after will pale in comparison. Do you understand that? With Ryan being a benchmark, your eye for men will only get stricter. But where can I find someone like Ryan who’s rich, handsome, from a prominent family, gentlemanly, elegant, humorous, romantic, wise, and calm? Even if I give Shaun to you, you might not fancy him.”“...”Freya was speechless for some time. The corners
Freya got even more irritated. [If you’re not angry, why did your reply come so late?]Ryan: [Oh, I was in the middle of a call with Summer.]“...”Summer. It was Summer again.Freya was exasperated.She threw her phone aside angrily and did not want to talk to Ryan at all.Ryan sent a reply message: [Why aren’t you replying?]Freya sneered.She sent him a message, and he only replied after an hour. Yet when she did not reply, he immediately came and asked her about it. Why did he not think about how long he had made her wait?Freya: [Because I don’t want to disturb your call with Summer.]Ryan: [We’ve ended the call.]Freya: [Oh, no wonder Young Master Snow finally has the mood to talk to me.]Ryan: [Why are you being sarcastic?]Freya: [I just can’t stand a certain someone who prioritizes love more than friends.]Ryan: [You can’t possibly be talking about me, right?]Freya: [Haha. When I was with my blind date, I always replied to your messages first. I even abandoned
For the next few days, Freya did not see Ryan when she returned to The Lodge. However, she did hear Heidi and Nathan talking about Ryan’s matters during mealtimes.“Do you think Ryan’s place should be refurbished?” Heidi said excitedly, “If Summer joins our family, she might not like Ryan’s bedroom because it looks too cold. Girls like warm tones.”“Alright. But where will Ryan stay if his place is under renovation?”“He can stay in the guest room or our building. The Lodge is so big. Will we ever run out of rooms?” Heidi grinned. “Isn’t that right, Freya?”“Oh! Um, yes,” Freya replied with her head low.“Child, you haven’t been talking much recently. Are you feeling down?” Heidi asked out of concern.“I’m just thinking about our company’s celebration this year.” Freya forced a smile. “Freycatheli’s sales has made it to one of the top three in Australia this year, so the company is hosting a celebration tomorrow night. There are quite a few things to sort out.”“That’s great. Fr
Since Ryan wanted to make Freya jealous, Catherine did not mind making Ryan jealous too.“Isn’t that the professional makeup artist, George Kelly? Let’s go and talk to him.” Catherine pulled Eliza away lightly and hinted at her with her eyes.Eliza quickly got the hint and joked to Freya, “Cathy and I are going over to say hi. You can talk to Peter for a while here. Maybe he can introduce our brand to his fans.”“I’ll try my best.” Stunned, Freya also spoke jokingly and nodded with a smile.After Catherine and Eliza had walked a distance, Eliza said, “You’re not trying to set up Peter and Freya together, are you? I admit that Peter is handsome, but men in the entertainment industry are too complicated…”“Of course not, but perhaps admiring some good looks once in a while will make Freya’s mood better.” Catherine took her phone out as she laughed. Then, she sent a message to her assistant, Hans: [Arrange for Freya to sit with Peter later and make the live camera zoom in on them mor
[Those who can sit in the front row seats must not be ordinary people. Is she a daughter of a wealthy family?][Haha. The fairy that all of you are talking about isn’t just any daughter from a wealthy family. She’s the prime minister’s goddaughter, Freya Lynch.][The Freya Lynch who was abandoned by the Snow family’s eldest young master some time ago? It can’t be. She’s surprisingly beautiful.][She’s not just pretty. She’s also the founder of Freycatheli, okay? All of Freycatheli’s products are developed by a team led by Freya.][She’s so gorgeous and capable, yet Eldest Young Master Snow still had an affair. Were his eyes covered in sh*t?][Freya is so elegant. I think she and Pete make a lovely couple.][Please, she is a divorcee. No matter how great she is, she doesn’t deserve our Pete.][The one above, how great is your Pete? He has only acted in a few dramas. Can his status and achievements compare to Freya’s? I’m speechless.][Although she is a divorcee, she’s pretty and
Wait. What did Ryan mean by he was late? Freya did not seem to have not invited him at all.Was that man bewitched?“Miss Lynch, this is…” Peter asked puzzledly.Ryan glanced at him calmly. “Ryan Snow.”Peter was shocked. Throughout the years he had been in the entertainment industry, he usually interacted with people who had unique identities. Although he had never met Ryan before, everybody knew that name.He was the only son of the current prime minister and a politician with a bright future.“Hello, Young Master Snow.” Peter extended his hand excitedly. “I’m Peter Maddison.”Ryan shook his hand politely but did not let go of it immediately. He smiled vaguely and said, “I know. The dramas that you’re in are pretty popular. You're charmingly handsome as well. I like that a lot.”Peter was stunned. Only then did he recall the recent news revealing that Ryan liked men. Although it had been clarified, not many believed it. Could the meaning behind Ryan’s words possibly be… that
No kidding. If pictures of the prime minister’s son touching a male celebrity’s hand were taken, the prime minister would personally target Catherine.…In the lounge, Freya slammed the door shut after yanking Ryan in.“Ryan, are you crazy?”Freya’s body trembled as she glared at the man in front of her. “There are so many people and pairs of eyes at this banquet tonight, yet you have the guts to hit on Peter so openly. You’re too shameless. Don’t forget that you’re dating Summer. Are you still thinking about that man you like? I don’t understand why you’ve become like this. If today’s incident is exposed, the scandal that Godmother and Godfather have painstakingly suppressed will surface again. Don’t you know that?”“Don’t worry. Catherine is a smart person. She won’t let a word of tonight’s incident get out.”Ryan’s handsome face was calm. He was not flustered at all.The more he behaved that way, the angrier Freya became, so much that she did not even filter her words. “Since
What did Ryan just say?Did he say that he liked her?How could this be? Did she mishear?However, if it was all an illusion, why was his kiss so searing and deep? It was as if he wanted her to melt.Then, Freya became so flustered that she pushed him away hard with trembling hands. “Ryan, stop joking. Today isn’t April Fool’s Day.”“I’m not joking.”Ryan’s thin lips grazed hers. He revealed his sincerity with quick breaths. “Freya, I told you before that I liked someone I shouldn’t. However, it was never a guy. It was you. I’m not interested in men at all. All along, I’ve only loved you.“If not, why would I treat you so well? I was angrier than anyone else to see Rodney betray you. I wanted to make you laugh more than anyone else when I saw you crying. I really wanted to kill him when he kicked and hurt you. During this time I’ve been with you, all I want is to give you all the best things in the world.”“No, no… This isn’t real.”The more Freya listened, the more she panick
