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
In the wee hours.Freya and Ryan parted at the parking lot of The Lodge.When Freya returned to the bedroom, Aunty Loretta was accompanying a sleeping Dani. Upon noticing her return, Aunty Loretta said softly, “She just woke up and drank half the bottle of milk.”“She didn’t cry, right?” Freya asked.“No.”“Thanks, Aunty Loretta.” Freya was quite embarrassed that she was out with Ryan late at night. Now that Aunty Loretta was under Ryan, she was surely aware of the affairs between the two of them. Aunty Loretta said with a smile, “Considering that Young Master treats me very well, this is my duty.”Freya was ashamed. “Ryan is nice. We know that the two of us shouldn’t… I’m sorry, Aunty Loretta. You’re the only person who can cover up for us so far…”Aunty Loretta sighed. “When Young Master often came and accompanied you and Dani a while ago, you guys really looked like a family. In fact, the two of you are well-matched in terms of age and appearance. Unfortunately, the two of
