“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.
The cramped space in the car was filled with Freya and Ryan’s panting.Freya was hugging him more passionately than before. Although she was shy, she felt very excited.“Where’s the chauffeur? When is he coming?” she asked in a husky voice.“I haven’t informed the chauffeur.” The tip of Ryan’s nose was touching hers, and his eyes were dark. “Let’s go to North Hills and rest first, okay?”“...”Freya’s face went scarlet.She was no longer the innocent, inexperienced young woman.She was going to a man’s house to rest in the middle of the night instead of going home. It surely would not be as simple as lying on the bed and closing her eyes.In fact, when she was on her way here, she was doubtful as to why he picked a place near North Hills for supper.Now that the moment had come, she still could not help but feel disconcerted.She wondered if their relationship was developing way too fast.Nevertheless, Ryan treated her so well and had sacrificed so much for her.She could n
The rainwater pattered against the window.Freya’s mind was in a mess.By the time the rain stopped, she was sober. Only after she caught sight of the rain marks did she realize that it had rained just now.“Do you want to shower together…”Ryan hugged her from behind. The satisfied man sounded a lot deeper and hoarser.“...Nope.”Freya got a fright. She was tired and a little sleepy at first, but his sentence had startled her awake.Ryan let out a deep laugh, and his chest shook her. “Why are you acting like a stranger?”“I… I’m not used to it.”Freya slipped out of his embrace and picked up a shirt from the floor, only to find that the shirt belonged to him.She put it on her body and sneaked into the bathroom.When the soft water fell on her body, she recovered from her musings.She actually did it with Ryan.He was her ex-husband’s cousin and her so-called brother.The outsiders must think that this was absurd.However, at the thought of everything that happened just
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As 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.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
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, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity 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.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” 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?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun 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.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once 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.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s 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. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While 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.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why 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 Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s 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. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity 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. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s 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.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” 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. “As 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 hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I 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?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I 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. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
