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 Osher’s stock directly hit a limit-down this morning, and huge amounts of funds have been withdrawn.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
Freya and Ryan took Dani to the front courtyard for breakfast.Dani, who was in Ryan’s embrace, looked around with his big, dark eyes.Rodney tagged along shamelessly. “Dani, I’ll take you to Grandma’s house, okay?”Dani turned her head around straight away. She wrapped her hands around Ryan’s neck as if Ryan was his biological father.Rodney became jealous. “Ryan, return my daughter to me. I’m bringing her back to the old residence, and Freya agreed with it just now.”“You can take her there after I leave for work.” Ryan said earnestly, “Dani doesn’t want to part with me now. If I forcefully hand her to you, she’ll cry. She’s no longer the baby who knows nothing. She can now roll over, and she has her own opinions. Do you understand?”“I understand, and that’s why I want to bond with her.” Rodney said impatiently, “Ryan, are you trying to be my daughter’s dad? Well, you can dream on.”Freya’s expression shifted a little. She quickly turned her gaze to Ryan, who appeared calm as
It had been a while since Heidi received such a slap in the face. She flew into a fit of rage. “Yes, it’s your family affair, but Freya is my goddaughter. Please leave our house right now.” As soon as she finished speaking, a few bodyguards behind her dragged Rodney out of The Lodge.Heidi warned, “Remember him. I don’t want him in The Lodge anymore.”Rodney was furious. “Aunty Heidi, don’t be a snob.”“I’m a snob?” Heidi was driven to exasperation.Luckily, Rodney was soon taken away.Freya and Ryan were a little dazed. Little did they expect things to go that way.Nathan, who was caught in the middle, felt most awkward. “Why are you so mad at a youngster?”“Didn’t you hear how sarcastic he was?” Heidi said furiously, “I’ve had enough of him. What he did has caused so much trouble for us, yet we had to sort out his mess. Moreover, his behavior and personality are problematic. It’s fine that he spends time with Dani sometimes but certainly not in the long term. Although he mig
Freya was so shocked that her heart skipped a beat. She squinted at the door of the bedroom. Only when she realized that the door was half shut did she sigh with relief.However, she was not completely at ease. She was still quite nervous.What if the servant came upstairs all of a sudden?What if…“Please stay focused.”Ryan’s deep, muffled voice sounded from their thin lips.Freya was speechless. How could she stay focused?They were sneaking around and it made her seem like a thief.“Come on. I’ve missed you.” Ryan gave her a long, deep kiss while cupping her face. Amid the passionate kiss, the man’s voice was hoarse as though a surge of electric current had passed through him. His whole body was numb. “Did you miss me?”“...Hurry up.”Freya urged him restlessly.“I’m asking you whether you missed me.” Ryan nibbled on her lips. “If you’re not honest with me, I won’t let you go.”“I did. I did.” Freya had no choice but to surrender, and her pretty face flushed red. “But…
