For some strange reason, Rodney was envious. He heard that they would be having a celebration on a cruise ship. There was a time when he was one of them as well. No matter where they went, he would never be left out. Rodney was the one who dug his own grave. He fell out with every one of them for Sarah.Now…Bitterness filled Rodney’s heart. He hesitated and agonized for a long time. Finally, he walked over. “Shaun, Chester, Freya…”When the last name came out of his lips, his gaze was filled with pain and guilt. He turned to Freya.Freya’s expression went cold instantly. She was extremely uncomfortable, looking as though she had swallowed a fly. She did not look at him but simply took out her phone and looked at the time. “It’s already 11:00 a.m. Shall we leave?”“Freya…” Rodney was anxious. He stood in front of her in a hurry. “I… I’m sorry. I apologize for everything I did to you in the past. I was too stupid. I was deceived by Sarah repeatedly and hurt you. I made such a
“Ah, why would he be afraid? He even abandoned his ex-wife and daughter for a murderer.”“Is there something wrong with his brain?”“He’s pretty handsome, but why is his brain all mashed up? No wonder he got cheated on.”“...”Rodney was like a zombie.They could just say all they wanted about him.That was because he was disgusted with himself as well. Just what kind of demon was he in love with for over ten years?He finally saw through everything that day.…At the parking lot, Shaun opened the car door. Before he got in, he suddenly said to everyone, “You guys can go on the cruise ship first. Cathy and I will only head over after getting our marriage certificate at the registry office.”It was not just Catherine who was stunned but the rest too. Freya widened her eyes. Then, she pulled her best friend’s arm and yelled in agitation, “Why didn’t you tell me about such an important thing? Besides, didn’t you say you’d wait for me? Are you going to abandon me and get marr
“It’s fine as long as they’re happy in their relationship. Besides, your best friend is such a smart person. Since she’s willing to let go of the past, it means she truly loves Shaun.”“You’re right…”Freya was aware that her situation was different from Catherine’s. She only got together with Rodney because of her pregnancy, while Shaun and Catherine had children out of love. Shaun had also never betrayed Catherine when it came to intimacy matters from the beginning till the end…”“By the way, we’re going on a cruise ship to celebrate later. Do you… want to go with me? Do you have time?”Ryan chuckled. “This is the first time you’re inviting me to meet your friends. I have to go.”“Aren’t you very busy?”“I knew that you guys would surely have a celebration today. To prevent you from getting drunk, I finished my work beforehand,” Ryan said gently, “I’ve been waiting for you all day.”“It seems like you’re quite tactful.” Freya found it sweet. Ryan was always very attentive. “Co
Catherine raised her head. As she gazed into the man’s gentle dark eyes, it was as if sweetness was overflowing in her heart. Shaun lowered his head and looked at his wife’s sweet eyes. He could not resist kissing her lips. “I can’t stand you two anymore. Stop bullying single people.” Freya found it so cheesy that she covered her eyes. “Come on, you’re not single.” Catherine teased her. Just as she spoke, there was movement from the back of the cruise ship. Not long after, Ryan walked over. He wore a spotless white shirt with black pants. When matched with that young, supple, and handsome face of his, he was like a dashing gentleman. There was a smile on the corners of his mouth and a bright gleam in his narrow eyes. He looked as clean and clear as water. For some reason, Freya found him particularly handsome that day. Although she thought Chester was good-looking just now, Ryan had the steadiness of a mature man and a brightness that Shaun and Chester did not.Having him as
“I’ve asked. It should be in two months.” Eliza gazed at the deep blue horizon afar. Actually, she did not really like the sea. It was because her past body had drowned to death in the ocean. “It takes that long?”“Isn’t that good? Death is a relief. What’s scary is the fear she’d face in these two months. Think about it. If you know you’re about to die, won’t you feel fearful every day? I’m guessing it’ll be hard to sleep at night,” Catherine said jokingly.Freya was stunned. She suddenly found the outcome satisfying. At that moment, there were some movements from below.The three of them looked down. They realized that Ryan had caught a fish. Freya immediately ran down excitedly. Ryan was removing a black-colored fish from the fishing hook. “Wow, you’re amazing. You caught a fish so quickly.” Freya’s gaze on Ryan was sparkly. There were still other people around them. Ryan was embarrassed by her gaze. The tips of his ears were a little red. “It’s just good luck. Look at
Catherine was wondering if she should help Ryan, but it turned out that she did not even need to offer him help.“Ryan, you know how to cut open a fish. That’s very amazing of you. Have you done it before?” Freya looked at him blankly. When she cooked with Ryan previously, the fish that he bought from outside had already been cleaned. All they needed to do was cook it. It was her first time seeing this side of him.“Nope. But I’ve watched how they butchered the fish when I went to the market last time.” Ryan smiled vaguely.Shaun was speechless.He was stung by Ryan’s words. He had been to markets and watched how fish were butchered too, yet he did not know how to do it.Young people these days… really put others in the shade. Fortunately, Shaun already had a wife.“You’re amazing,” Freya continued to compliment Ryan.Catherine found it so cheesy that she dragged Freya away and teased her. “I didn’t know you could say such sweet words now. I’ve never seen you praise Patrick like
Recently, Ryan had been occupied with work, whereas Sarah’s matter had been weighing on Freya’s mind. When Ryan and Freya met for meals or were in The Lodge, they would only touch each other’s hands secretly. Today, the two of them were very pleased.Freya had introduced Ryan to her friends. His excellence made her as sweet as honey.The two of them had secretly exchanged passionate looks several times on the cruise ship.Coupled with the fact that they had drunk some alcohol, things got out of hand as soon as they entered the room.Ryan hugged and kissed Freya so passionately that he almost melted her heart. “Freya, I love you...”“Ryan, I love you too.”Freya’s eyes lit up.She was not drunk moments before, but now that she was, she put her hands around his neck passionately……The two of them slept in the next day as a result of having a wild night.Freya woke up to find herself in the crook of Ryan’s arm.When she opened her eyes, she was still in a daze.At the thoug
Freya picked up her phone, only to find a few missed calls from Aunty Loretta.Thinking that the call was about Dani’s matters, she quickly returned Aunty Loretta’s calls.“Miss Lynch, you finally returned my calls.” Aunty Loretta said with a low voice, “Young Master Snow came over this morning, and he has been playing with Dani ever since.”Freya was stunned. After going quiet for a while, she said, “Please keep an eye on him, and don’t allow him to bring Dani out. Make sure nothing happens to Dani when he’s looking after her. After all, he lacks experience in looking after children.” “Alright, I know. But from what he said, it seems like he’ll be staying here for lunch.”“Whatever. Anyway, I’m going to work today and will be home very late.”After hanging up, she crawled up arduously and headed to the bathroom.The bathroom was in disarray. Ryan messed it up when he carried her inside for a shower last night.At the thought of their intimacy and absurdness last night, a blus
