“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
“Tsk, tsk. That was unexpected.” Catherine looked at Freya with a grin.“What was unexpected?” Freya was confused.“Nothing. It doesn’t matter whether you’ll marry Ryan in the future. But when Ryan is appointed to that position more than ten years later, your name might appear in Australia’s records.” Catherine mocked, “Someone might write you a biography by then. I’ve come up with some book titles for you. ‘The Woman Who Managed to Deal With the Prime Minister’, ‘The Prime Minister’s Unforgettable Lover’, ‘The Life of the Youngest Wife of Australia’s Prime Minister’.”Feeling speechless, Freya’s mouth twitched. “How amazing of you to have thought about the different possible fates of mine. Aren’t you afraid that once my affair with him is exposed, it’ll leave a stain on him? He might be criticized by the public. How can he rise to the top then?”“No rush. I’ve come up with a title for that too, such as ‘The Prime Minister’s Son and Goddaughter’s Ridiculous Life’.Freya was at a l
“Rodney is disgusted just like that?” Freya began to laugh derisively. “If he catches Sarah having an affair, he’ll probably go mad. After all, Sarah is his true love.”“It’s only because he has been neglecting Sarah that she was so quick to cheat on him.” Catherine snorted. “Let’s wait. Given that Osher hasn’t been doing well, Sarah is probably treating Rodney with contempt. When she feels that her relationship with Grady has become steady, she’ll initiate a divorce. Rodney will then see through her true colors and deal with her in person. We won’t need to do anything.”“Will he?” Freya frowned in uncertainty. “Rodney is very stern to everyone except Sarah. He can forgive her time and again.”“Rodney has gone through so much. Do you think he’s still the same person from when he was married to you?”Catherine said pensively, “He had everything when he was with you. It won’t be an overstatement to say that God favored him. He had a beautiful wife and a cute child. He was also close
Freya drove her car out. Meanwhile, Ryan was waiting for her at the main entrance of The Lodge.Under the street lights, the young man was chatting with a police officer. He was wearing the suit that she had previously bought for him. From his side profile, he looked nobly handsome.Upon noticing her arrival, Ryan openly got in the car under the police officer’s gaze. Since that was their first time going out on a date at 11:00 p.m., Freya was quite nervous. “Are we attracting too much attention? It might arouse other people’s suspicion.”“What’s suspicious about two family members who live together going out for supper at night?” Ryan said while fastening the seat belt. “Other people will only say that we have a close sibling relationship. It might seem even more suspicious if we try to dodge them and act surreptitiously.”“That’s true.” Before Freya started the car, she glanced at the man beside whom she had not met for days. “You’ve been working until late at night lately, and
Freya blushed silently for a while. In the end, she glared at Ryan. “None of your business.”“Of course, it’s my business. I can’t leave you to act recklessly out there.”With a smile, Ryan placed his hand on her hand that was holding the steering wheel. Then, he caressed her hand.…After arriving at the night market, Ryan hesitated for a moment before he took off his suit and tie, revealing his blue shirt inside.“What are you doing?” Freya was puzzled.Ryan pointed at the customers having supper and drinking in the open air. “If I go out in a trim suit, I’ll definitely look different among them.”“If anyone asks about you, you can say that you’re an insurance agent,” Freya said with a grin.“Do I look like an insurance agent?” Ryan pinched her cheek softly before kissing her lips.“Aren’t you cold like this?” Freya draped her arms around his neck.“I won’t be cold after some beer.”Ryan got out of the car while hugging her. Then, he brought her to the shop he mentioned.
