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 Ryanโs matters during mealtimes.โDo you think Ryanโs place should be refurbished?โ Heidi said excitedly, โIf Summer joins our family, she might not like Ryanโs bedroom because it looks too cold. Girls like warm tones.โโAlright. But where will Ryan stay if his place is under renovation?โโHe can stay in the guest room or our building. The Lodge is so big. Will we ever run out of rooms?โ Heidi grinned. โIsnโt that right, Freya?โโOh! Um, yes,โ Freya replied with her head low.โChild, you havenโt been talking much recently. Are you feeling down?โ Heidi asked out of concern.โIโm just thinking about our companyโs celebration this year.โ Freya forced a smile. โFreycatheliโs 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.โโThatโs great. Fr
Since Ryan wanted to make Freya jealous, Catherine did not mind making Ryan jealous too.โIsnโt that the professional makeup artist, George Kelly? Letโs go and talk to him.โ Catherine pulled Eliza away lightly and hinted at her with her eyes.Eliza quickly got the hint and joked to Freya, โCathy 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.โโIโll try my best.โ Stunned, Freya also spoke jokingly and nodded with a smile.After Catherine and Eliza had walked a distance, Eliza said, โYouโre 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 complicatedโฆโโOf course not, but perhaps admiring some good looks once in a while will make Freyaโs mood better.โ 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 isnโt just any daughter from a wealthy family. Sheโs the prime ministerโs goddaughter, Freya Lynch.][The Freya Lynch who was abandoned by the Snow familyโs eldest young master some time ago? It canโt be. Sheโs surprisingly beautiful.][Sheโs not just pretty. Sheโs also the founder of Freycatheli, okay? All of Freycatheliโs products are developed by a team led by Freya.][Sheโs 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 doesnโt 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 Freyaโs? Iโm speechless.][Although she is a divorcee, sheโs 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?โMiss Lynch, this isโฆโ Peter asked puzzledly.Ryan glanced at him calmly. โRyan Snow.โPeter 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.โHello, Young Master Snow.โ Peter extended his hand excitedly. โIโm Peter Maddison.โRyan shook his hand politely but did not let go of it immediately. He smiled vaguely and said, โI know. The dramas that youโre in are pretty popular. You're charmingly handsome as well. I like that a lot.โPeter 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 Ryanโs words possibly beโฆ that
No kidding. If pictures of the prime ministerโs son touching a male celebrityโs hand were taken, the prime minister would personally target Catherine.โฆIn the lounge, Freya slammed the door shut after yanking Ryan in.โRyan, are you crazy?โFreyaโs body trembled as she glared at the man in front of her. โThere are so many people and pairs of eyes at this banquet tonight, yet you have the guts to hit on Peter so openly. Youโre too shameless. Donโt forget that youโre dating Summer. Are you still thinking about that man you like? I donโt understand why youโve become like this. If todayโs incident is exposed, the scandal that Godmother and Godfather have painstakingly suppressed will surface again. Donโt you know that?โโDonโt worry. Catherine is a smart person. She wonโt let a word of tonightโs incident get out.โRyanโs 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. โSince
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. โRyan, stop joking. Today isnโt April Foolโs Day.โโIโm not joking.โRyanโs thin lips grazed hers. He revealed his sincerity with quick breaths. โFreya, I told you before that I liked someone I shouldnโt. However, it was never a guy. It was you. Iโm not interested in men at all. All along, Iโve only loved you.โIf 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 Iโve been with you, all I want is to give you all the best things in the world.โโNo, noโฆ This isnโt real.โThe more Freya listened, the more she panick
Ryan countered Freya.She glared at him viciously. โRyan, youโre full of schemes.โโMost of the mind games Iโve schemed in my life are all because of you.โ Ryan laughed bitterly. โFreya, think about it. For you, the whole world thinks that I like men. I really have no image left at all.โโYou liar.โFreya muttered in anger. She was caught off guard at such an unexpected confession and did not know what to do at all. โItโs useless no matter how well you phrase your words. Itโs impossible for usโฆโโHow is it impossible? Youโre divorced, and weโre not blood-related.โ Ryan persuaded her stubbornly.โI donโt like youโฆโ Freya just thought it was too absurd. She could not agree to it at all.โYou donโt like me?โ Ryan was not upset. In fact, he laughed. โFreya, ask yourself. Do you really not like me?โ โI really, truly donโtโฆโโOkay, let me ask you this.โ Ryan pressed his finger against her lips to stop her from talking. โYou got angry when I carried your child to make Summer happy.
โMy career has never been reliant on any woman.โRyan held Freyaโs hand with a smile. โFreya, I remember telling you that people are saying I might become the youngest prime minister. However, I never really cared about it at all. Iโm not as ambitious as my father and grandfather. To me, having a stable job, a house, a car, and being able to provide for the one I love and my children is enough.โโYouโre too simple-minded about it. Youโre from the Snow family, so there are many things you canโt do as you wish.โ Freya said stubbornly, โYou once said those words to me. Just like Jessica, isnโt she the best example?โโHasnโt Jessica started seeking her own happiness as well?โRyan patted Freyaโs hair. โFreya, Iโm not who Jessica used to be. If I werenโt confident about this, I wouldnโt have brought it up with you. Youโve been hurt several times in relationships, so I have to be even more careful. I canโt just have you. I have to treat you well, marry you, and make you my wife.โFreya
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. โI didnโt expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. Iโm old.โLooking at Charityโs pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. โIf youโre considered old, Iโm even older.โโFor men, the older, the more charming,โ Charity said.โReally?โ Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. โDo you think Iโm charming?โCharity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. โNot in the slightest.โChester was exasperated. โEven if Iโm not, I wonโt allow you to escape my clutches.โAs 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.โGo away. You may kiss your girlโฆโCharity
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, โDo you want me to toss the bouquet to you?โ โNo.โCharity 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.โAlright. Although you donโt want it, it doesnโt mean he feels the same.โ 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?โWhat gives? Could he have done it with you?โ As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.โYouโre overthinking it.โCatherine said with a discreet smile, โEven if thereโs something wrong with that part of his, he couldโve done it if he wanted to.โโWow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.โ Freya chuckled. โCharity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.โHowever, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. โShaun 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.โ After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, โIt doesnโt matter to me. Iโll let nature take its
โYou havenโt answered my question.โ Charity asked in annoyance, โWhy were you in a hurry to get away from me?โ A miserable look washed over Chesterโs face. โIf I hadnโt done that, Iโm afraid I wouldnโt have been able to get hold of myself.โCharity looked down at the lower part of Chesterโs body. โIs it becauseโฆ you canโt control it anymore?โHer directness caused Chesterโs face to turn grim. โCharity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine canโt function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.โOnce 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.โCharity, next time, can Iโฆโ Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. โKiss you?โCharityโs 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. โCharity, itโs about time to wake up. Youโre going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.โWhile 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.โAre you planning to lie in?โAs it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. โLet me help you get changed.โBy the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaidโs outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. โWhy 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 Chesterโs deep, gentle voice. โCharity, wake upโฆโShe opened her eyes to see Chesterโs face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. โHow did I fall asleep?โHer hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her bodyโs 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. โWho allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.โโI called you, but you didnโt hear me.โChester lied without flinching. โI came in because I was worried something happened to you. Youโve been in
โI should be the one asking you why youโre in my room,โ Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.โ...โCharity 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. โAre you afraid that Iโll eat you up?โโYou think you can do that, huh?โ Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. โCan you do it now?โChesterโs 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.โSince you know I canโt do that, what are you afraid of?โ Chester gripped her waist. โCharity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you donโt stay here, you have nowhere else to go.โCharity stomped on his foot. โDid y
โSuspect that the child is yours?โ 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. โAs 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 hasnโt noticed it?โChester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. โDo you meanโฆโโPerhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasnโt exposed it.โ Shaun said indifferently, โI 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?โChester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. โMaybe she didnโt guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, โWhatโs wrong?โ โYour husband is bullying me.โ Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. โMove your paw off my wife,โ Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherineโs presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. โWhat are you doing?โCatherine glared at her husband. โChase and I are friends. Weโre besties. Whatโs with your attitude?โโThatโs right.โ Chase straightened his back with Catherineโs support. โI 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. Iโm so much better than you guys, yet I still donโt have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?โโIs he angry because of that?โ Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. โWas I wrong?โ Catherine threw the bag o
