“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
“Of course, you’re not.” Ryan grinned slyly. “You’re giving me the present now because you want to use it as an excuse to meet me at night, right? You miss me.”“Ryan, enough is enough…” Freya’s face was red. How did he make a correct guess again? She did have that thought, so she waited until nighttime to give him the present. That way, she would have an excuse to meet him at night too. However, this man was truly annoying.Did she not need her dignity?“Is it true?” Ryan’s eyes brightened. He smiled happily. “Freya, I’m so happy. I’m really happy.”The man repeated the same words a few times. The delight on his handsome face was evident.Freya bit her lip. Suddenly, she did not feel so shy anymore. Instead, there was a sweet feeling surging within her.“Here. I bought a set of new clothes and a watch for you.”She handed over the bag that was hanging on the stroller.“Come upstairs. I’ll try them on.”Ryan carried Dani upstairs. After hesitating for a moment, Freya follo
“Uh… I don’t think you have to…”Freya was shocked. A suit had made him think of being a groom. His thinking was truly non-linear. Ryan’s dark eyes gleamed. “What’s wrong? Haven’t you thought of getting married to me before?”Freya was taken aback. If it were any other man, that surely would have been a fatal question. However, because it was Ryan, Freya did not worry too much. “What if I said I never did?”“I’ll just continue working harder, then.” Ryan chuckled. “It’s definitely my problem if I can’t make a woman have the thought of marrying me.”Freya found that sweet. She was touched as well. “I won’t lie to you. I just got divorced and experienced a deep wound from another relationship. It’s impossible for me to enter that phase so easily again. At least not in these two years. Are you willing to wait?”“Luckily, I’m still young,” Ryan said confidently, “I’ll only be 28 years old after two years. Well, I’m a guy. At that age, that’s when a guy is the most charming. How ca
Freya suddenly thought of something. She smiled and said, “By the way, I haven’t congratulated you for becoming the prime minister’s secretary. Although I don’t really know the job scope, it sounds pretty amazing.”“Forget it. It’s only because my dad has been exhausted lately. Every one of his secretaries is planning schemes. They aren’t efficient in their work, yet they have many schemes. After thinking about it, he found working with me most comfortable. Besides, I’m on his side.”Ryan shrugged his shoulders. “Actually, I don’t really want to go. Being a secretary is too tiring. I prefer working at the grassroots level. There isn’t much work, and I can get off work on time. I used to think of achieving higher positions to earn more money, but there’s no longer a need to do that. After all, I’m already with a rich woman.”“...”Ryan patted Freya’s head. “I’ll try to help your brother more and let Lynch Corporation expand further. That way, your status will be higher in the future
