“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
“It’s good that you know. I just wanted to remind you that if you want to be with Ryan, you should brace yourself for the gossip soon. If you can’t take it, it’s best you break up with him as soon as possible.”Catherine admitted that she was very straightforward. Nevertheless, she could tell that Freya was falling deeper in love.She did not mean to separate Freya and Ryan. On the contrary, all she wanted was to get Freya ready for that.Freya nodded. She suddenly turned solemn from her originally cheerful mood.“Let’s have a meeting later.” Catherine suddenly said, “We should discuss the acquisition of Osher.”“Huh?” The quick jump in the subject left Freya puzzled.“Didn’t you watch the news this morning? Everyone knows about Sarah’s case yesterday. Now, all the netizens are making fun of Rodney. Osher’s stock directly hit a limit-down this morning, and huge amounts of funds have been withdrawn. Osher hasn’t been doing well for a while now. This time, it’s likely that they’ll
Freya furrowed her brows.She did not want to meet Rodney.However, just as she was hesitating whether to go upstairs for a shower or greet Dani first, Rodney walked out of the toy room with Dani in his arms. The moment Dani saw Freya, her eyes glinted. She stretched out her hands to ask for a hug.Freya quickly walked up to Dani, and Dani immediately threw her body toward Freya.To avoid her daughter from falling, Freya took two steps closer and promptly held her.As a result, she got slightly closer to Rodney.A familiar female scent wafted past the tip of Rodney’s nose. Looking at the charming smile on her face, Rodney realized that it had been a long time since he looked at her closely.She used to sleep next to him.However, he never treasured her.The three of them were supposed to be the happiest family in the world.Rodney’s heart had never felt so painful before. He wished he could gulp down a bottle of poison and die.Freya kissed Dani’s cheek and played with her
“I’m not as narrow-minded as you think. Hating someone all the time isn’t something nice.”Rodney instantly paled.The most pitiful thing in the world was that the person you used to care about did not hate you anymore.He might be happier if she hated him.At least hating him showed that she still cared about him.A moment later, he muttered, “Freycatheli is your brand. Since you want to expand it, I won’t object to it. I’ll allow Osher to be its stepping stone.”“Don’t make it seem as though you voluntarily sacrifice Osher to fulfill my wish.” Freya disliked the way he remarked it. “Even if it weren’t for Freycatheli, Osher would still be acquired. Moreover, Freycatheli can pay a better acquisition fee.”“Fine. I was wrong.” Rodney forced a bitter smile. “My reputation is terrible. If I continue to manage Osher, no one will be willing to acquire it.”“It’s good that you know.”After that, Freya realized that there seemed to be nothing else they could talk about.“I-I’m goin
Devastated, Rodney wished he could disappear right away.His pale, thin lips were shaking, yet he could not disprove what Freya said.“Freya… Regardless, I’m Dani’s biological father. You need to think for her. It’ll be better for her biological parents to live together…”After he pondered for a long time, that seemed to be his only plus point.Nevertheless, he did not know that the comment would disgust Freya even more. She did not want to talk nonsense with him anymore, yet he just had to linger around.“Rodney, don’t you think it’s too late to say such things?”All of a sudden, Ryan’s voice sounded at the door.He changed his shoes and walked in. Since Freya and Rodney were talking to each other, they did not notice Ryan’s arrival.Ryan was wearing a black suit, which was matched with a silk tie. He exuded the solemn and elegant aura of an elite in his field.He automatically walked toward Freya. “Did you think about Dani when you had an affair? You even wanted to snatch Da
