“You’re right.”On the other end of the call, Ryan looked happy and had a captivating smile on his face. He knew for sure that Rodney had been kicked out of Freya’s world entirely from that day onward.So what if Rodney was the child’s father?After the call had ended, Ryan held a glass of red wine and looked at the moon outside the window. The moonlight reflected the gleam in his eyes. “Don’t blame me, Rodney. You’re the one who dug your own grave.”He knew that Rodney would come over that day, so he especially told Aunty Loretta to keep an eye out.Sure enough, Rodney’s actions were more surprising each time.In fact, Ryan did not have to tell Freya those things.However, telling her would make her more disgusted with Rodney.As such, Freya would never give Rodney any more chances, even if it were for the sake of the child.What Ryan needed to do was sever Freya and Rodney’s relationship completely. So what if Rodney regretted it? It would be useless no matter how regretfu
Sarah was discharged from the hospital.Ever since she was admitted into the hospital, Rodney did not visit aside from spending time in the hospital on the first day. He only had the sitter accompany her.That made Sarah extremely irritable.After returning to the villa, Rodney did not return home at all either. He evaded her by saying that he was busy at work and then told the sitter to remind her to take her antidepressants on time.When Sarah went to look for him at the company, he was not there. When she called, he would always say that he was busy. At home, Sarah threw hysterical tantrums every day and broke things. Even the sitter could not stand her sometimes. If not for the high salary, the caregiver would have resigned.However, Sarah no longer dared to lose her temper at Rodney.She was not stupid. She could sense that Rodney was not indulging her like before because he knew Freya was not the cause of her injuries. It had nothing to do with him, so he did not feel as
Although the man before Sarah did not have a pretty face like Rodney, his net worth, status, and future were definitely better than Rodney’s.Since Rodney was no longer fond of her, it was time she prepared another option. Luckily, Sarah’s looks were still passable. As for her disabled legs…If things did not work out, she would win the man over even if she had to hypnotize him.When they arrived at the hospital, Aunty Willow was so anxious that she wanted to contact Rodney.However, Sarah quickly stopped her and said tearfully, “Don’t disturb him. Even if you manage to contact him, he won’t come. He detests me because I’m crippled and an embarrassment to him. I know it all.”As Aunty Willow recalled Rodney’s recent coldness, she had no words.The man beside them looked sorry for Sarah. “Your husband is too much.”“From how I look right now, it’s normal that he detests me.” Sarah clutched her legs in pain.“It’s okay. Since I was the one who bumped into you, I’ll accompany yo
“Did you tell him to pick you up?” “I told him that he needn’t come because the company’s team would be picking me up.” Freya harrumphed. “However, women always mean the opposite of what they say. I was on a business trip for two months! He didn’t come just because I told him not to? This is absolutely unacceptable.”“You have a point there. Why don’t you break up with him?” Catherine said casually, “Isn’t it just a man? There are other men everywhere.”“...”Freya blinked and did not say a word. Catherine burst out laughing. “Are you reluctant to do so?”At that moment, she arrived at her car and unlocked it.Freya opened the door of the passenger’s seat. Then, she bit the bullet and replied, “Ahem. What’s there to be reluctant? However, he’s the prime minister’s son and a handsome young man. It’ll be quite a pity if we broke up without having sex yet.”Catherine, who was putting the luggage in the trunk, gave Freya a profound glance. “You want to have sex with him?”“It’d
“Alright. Stop teasing her,” Catherine joked, “Freya was just kidding. She wouldn’t bring herself to break up with you.”“Yes, that’s right,” Freya said quickly. “I was just bragging.”Catherine was speechless.Her best friend had no guts at all. She looked at Freya’s careful expression. Freya’s words may sound nonchalant, but she actually cared a lot.“Alright, you little bragger. Come and sit at the back with me.” Ryan beckoned with his finger, and his mouth was curved into a doting smile.“...Um, never mind. I’m too tired and lazy to move.” Freya continued shrinking into her seat. She desperately wanted to bury herself in a hole.Upon seeing that, Catherine started driving.Since a man was in the back, the best friends’ conversation became more conservative. “By the way, Eliza said she wants to treat you to a meal and have a gathering when you’re free.” Catherine joked, “We know that you’re definitely not in the mood for that today.”“Yeah. I miss Dani a lot.” Freya could
Although Freya had not seen Ryan for the past two months, their relationship had progressed a lot. They had even said cheesy words that they rarely said face to face when they chatted on WhatsApp. After being lovey-dovey on Whatsapp, even Ryan, who had been a serious person in the past, started making some naughty jokes. It felt flirty, and it always made Freya’s heart beat faster. She did not hate it. After all, they were dating. It was normal between adult men and women who were dating. However, the awkwardness resurfaced now that the two were meeting face to face again. That was because she understood that she and Ryan might never be able to go back to an innocent relationship with just kissing like before.Freya did not hate that either. She was just a little flustered and confused.After Catherine’s sports car left, Ryan had two of Freya’s huge luggage in both his hands. He gazed at the woman in front of him with his dark eyes without holding back. He had not seen her
“No, didn’t I say I was just bluffing?” Freya quickly explained, “Cathy and I usually talk without filters in private. Don’t take it seriously.”“But… I’ve already taken it seriously. I’m scared too. I’m afraid that I’m not important to you at all.”His handsome face was cloudy. His dark eyelashes were aggrievedly downcast, covering his attractive narrow eyes. In this world, how many women who prioritized looks could remain indifferent when they saw a handsome, good-looking, younger guy being upset?Especially when that person was someone Freya liked and felt guilty toward.She felt heartbroken at that moment. She was inexperienced in coaxing a guy.After feeling flustered for a while, she flung herself over and hugged Ryan’s neck on impulse. She kissed him on the lips. “No, that’s not true. You’re very important to me. I like you so, so much. I was just embarrassed to admit my feelings in front of my friend. I assure you that I’ll never say those words again.”“Do you only l
Ryan buried his face in Freya’s shoulder. “When will you let me, this handsome young guy, devote my body to you? Didn’t you say that it’d be a waste not to have sex with me?”Freya desperately wanted to crawl into a hole. At the same time, her heart failed her and started tingling.Before she could react, Ryan’s kisses rained down on her. The temperature in the car rose. She was bewitched by Ryan’s scent and slowly reciprocated his kiss.After a long time, her brain was in a mess.When his lips left hers slightly, she could see his flushed handsome face clearly. Her heart itched. She blurted out, “Let’s do it next time, okay? I haven’t showered today…”After she spoke, she buried herself in his chest.Ryan hugged her tightly and chuckled. “Okay. Next time.”He was not planning on doing anything that day anyway. He knew that Freya missed her child. Even if he brought her upstairs by force, she would be distracted.“Don’t let me wait too long, okay?” Ryan kissed her silky hair
