“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
“As long as you know that.”Freya was happy. She went over and pecked Ryan on the cheek.Ryan’s hand on the steering wheel shook. He patted her hand resignedly, “Be good. I’m driving. Don’t flirt with me.”Freya blinked her eyes innocently. “You’re hopeless. It’s just a kiss.”“I’m only hopeless when I’m with you.”Ryan chuckled. His voice was doting. Freya’s lips curved.After experiencing two failed relationships, she had been lacking in self-confidence. However, she was slowly gaining her confidence back through Ryan.Upon returning to the official residence, Freya found Dani in Aunty Loretta’s arms right away.Dani had grown up a lot in the two months they did not meet. She got even cuter and prettier than before. Her face was chubby too. It was apparent that Dani had been doing fine when Freya was not with her. Freya felt bitter and relieved at the same time.“Dani, do you still remember me? I’m your mom.” Freya kissed Dani hard.Dani blinked her big, dark eyes in
Nathan nodded. “That’s right. You can try dating if you meet a suitable person. Don’t be like a certain someone…”After he spoke, he directed his gaze of disdain toward Ryan. “He’s still wasting time now. If you dare bring a man back one day, I’ll definitely break your leg.”“Dad, I’ve only been going to the manor aside from going to work. How would I even have the chance to bring a man back here?” Ryan muttered. Bang!Nathan put down his fork with force. “Now that Freya is back, you don’t have to take care of Dani anymore. To prevent you from mingling with those people, I’ll have someone transfer you to the prime minister’s office. You’ll take up the position of chief secretary. You’ll be in charge of strategic planning for the future.”Freya was taken aback.After being stunned for a few seconds, Ryan smiled and said, “Dad, I’m doing pretty well at the grassroots level. Besides, you were the one who said that you’d make me work at the grassroots level for my whole life if I do
“What do you want to do to me? Anyway, you can close the door.” An ambiguous smile flashed across Ryan’s eyes.“Ew, I’m the one who’s supposed to say that to you. You’re the pervert. Hmph.” Just as Freya finished speaking, she saw her daughter yanking the collar of Ryan’s robe mischievously. A huge patch of fair skin and vague outlines of the man’s pecs was exposed. “...”Freya was dumbfounded. It turned out that her daughter was the pervert here.Wait, where was her daughter’s naughty little hand touching?Not even Freya had touched that spot before.“Dani, stop. I’ll feel ticklish if you do that.” Ryan had no choice but to pull Dani’s hand away.Dani kept babbling incoherently. She thought Ryan was playing with her, so she got even more worked up.“You want me to lift you up high?” Ryan lifted Dani up and down.After doing that a few times, the child’s laughter echoed in the living room.Freya gawked at them.Dani truly liked Ryan. She was not even that happy when she was
