Freya and Ryan took Dani to the front courtyard for breakfast.Dani, who was in Ryanโs embrace, looked around with his big, dark eyes.Rodney tagged along shamelessly. โDani, Iโll take you to Grandmaโs house, okay?โDani turned her head around straight away. She wrapped her hands around Ryanโs neck as if Ryan was his biological father.Rodney became jealous. โRyan, return my daughter to me. Iโm bringing her back to the old residence, and Freya agreed with it just now.โโYou can take her there after I leave for work.โ Ryan said earnestly, โDani doesnโt want to part with me now. If I forcefully hand her to you, sheโll cry. Sheโs no longer the baby who knows nothing. She can now roll over, and she has her own opinions. Do you understand?โโI understand, and thatโs why I want to bond with her.โ Rodney said impatiently, โRyan, are you trying to be my daughterโs dad? Well, you can dream on.โFreyaโs 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. โYes, itโs your family affair, but Freya is my goddaughter. Please leave our house right now.โ As soon as she finished speaking, a few bodyguards behind her dragged Rodney out of The Lodge.Heidi warned, โRemember him. I donโt want him in The Lodge anymore.โRodney was furious. โAunty Heidi, donโt be a snob.โโIโm a snob?โ 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. โWhy are you so mad at a youngster?โโDidnโt you hear how sarcastic he was?โ Heidi said furiously, โIโve 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. Itโs 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 ifโฆโPlease stay focused.โRyanโs 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.โCome on. Iโve missed you.โ Ryan gave her a long, deep kiss while cupping her face. Amid the passionate kiss, the manโs voice was hoarse as though a surge of electric current had passed through him. His whole body was numb. โDid you miss me?โโ...Hurry up.โFreya urged him restlessly.โIโm asking you whether you missed me.โ Ryan nibbled on her lips. โIf youโre not honest with me, I wonโt let you go.โโI did. I did.โ Freya had no choice but to surrender, and her pretty face flushed red. โButโฆ
When Freya got in the car, she still felt guilty.The feeling of being secretive in The Lodge would surely torture her to madness sooner or later.Not long after, Ryan sent her a WhatsApp message: [I miss youโฆ]That message almost made Freya throw her phone out. It was driving her crazy.Soon after she arrived at the company, an assistant brought a bouquet to her. โManager Lynch, someone has sent you a bouquet.โFreya put down the test tube in her hand, took off her gloves, and took over the flowers wrapped in pink wrapping paper. There was not only one type of flower in it. In fact, hydrangeas, bellflowers, tulips, and many other species of beautiful flowers were matched together. It was gorgeous and fragrant.There was a small card on the bouquet. Freya opened the card, which wrote, โI miss you, my princessโฆโShe could not think of anyone else who would write such sweet words besides a certain someone. Freya grabbed her phone and sent Ryan a picture of the flowers: [Is this
โThatโs great.โEveryone in the meeting room cheered. The marketing department manager said, โWe even thought the acquisition would take a few months. I canโt believe would be completed in a week. Itโs too surprising.โโOsher Corporation is a spent force. Holding out will only be a waste of money.โ Catherine smiled faintly. โOkay. Once we successfully acquire Osher Corporation, there will be a large shift within the company's internal employees. Of course, Freycatheliโs status in Australia will level up as well, so the marketing department should get prepared. Let the outsiders know about this acquisition, and make it clear to them that the boss of Osher Corporation will no longer be Rodney but Freycatheli.โโAfter the acquisition, should the shop-in-shop of Osher Corporation at the malls be removed?โโNo, but change all of the signages to Freycatheliโs.โโ...โAfter the meeting ended and the senior managers left one after another, Freya said, โCan I not go to the contract sign
Five minutes later, Freya returned. Catherine and the lawyer had finished looking through the documents. โThereโs no problem. Letโs sign it.โAfter Freya, Catherine, and Rodney put down their signatures, Rodney said in a hurry, โItโs a big day today. Allow me to invite you all to have a meal at a restaurant nearby. Letโs take it as a celebration for the success of Freycatheliโs acquisitionโโโGeneral Manager Hoffman from our company will accompany you, President Snow. President Lynch and I have some other important matters to attend to later.โ Catherine refused politely without waiting for Rodney to finish his sentence.โPresident Jones, youโre making me look bad.โ Rodneyโs expression was not very good. โYou should be aware that quite many local and overseas companies were interested in acquiring Osher Corporation. However, I never considered them. Freycatheli came to my mind first, and I didnโt deliberately raise the price.โFreya could not listen to him anymore. She said while fe
...At the parking lot downstairs. Freya gave Catherine a thumbs up out of admiration. โPresident Jones, your domineering aura was overflowing just now. It was so satisfying to watch.โโI was annoyed with Rodney too. He still isnโt clear of his situation up till now. He acts as though itโs thanks to him that weโre able to acquire Osher Corporation.โ Catherine opened the car door and got in. โThatโs right. He wants us to show him respect? Who does he think he is?โFreya let out a harrumph. Just after she put on her seatbelt, Forrest called her. โThe date to move into the villa has been set. Itโs next Monday. The Lynch family will be having a banquet at a hotel and inviting some relatives and friends in Canberra.โโThatโs so soonโฆโ Freya was shocked.โDidnโt you say you wanted to move out as soon as possible? Thatโs why I made the contractors work overtime. The renovation work has already been completed for some time. The formaldehyde level was tested too. Itโs safe to move in.
Freya put down the things she held. She turned around and circled Ryanโs waist with both hands. โThereโs no helping it. If I keep staying here, and you keep beingโฆ like this, weโll be discovered sooner or later.โโLike what?โ Ryanโs depressed voice rang from behind her neck. โJustโฆ like this. Like what youโre doing now.โ Freya blushed. โYou always find excuses to make me go to your place in the morning or come over to my place after work at night. Someone will find it weird sooner or later. If I move out, there wonโt be people looking at our every movement. Itโll be more convenient to go on dates outside too.โRyan stared at Freya for some time. He sighed. โBut I have to work extra hours often. My dad will know if I donโt come back after work. If I go out frequently, theyโll get suspicious.โโHuh?โFreya blinked. โWhat do we do? Why do you have to be working with your dad?โโMm. I donโt want to as well, but I canโt be transferred for now.โ Ryan was troubled. Freya leaned again
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. โI didnโt expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. Iโm old.โLooking at Charityโs pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. โIf youโre considered old, Iโm even older.โโFor men, the older, the more charming,โ Charity said.โReally?โ Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. โDo you think Iโm charming?โCharity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. โNot in the slightest.โChester was exasperated. โEven if Iโm not, I wonโt allow you to escape my clutches.โAs 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.โGo away. You may kiss your girlโฆโCharity
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, โDo you want me to toss the bouquet to you?โ โNo.โCharity 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.โAlright. Although you donโt want it, it doesnโt mean he feels the same.โ 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?โWhat gives? Could he have done it with you?โ As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.โYouโre overthinking it.โCatherine said with a discreet smile, โEven if thereโs something wrong with that part of his, he couldโve done it if he wanted to.โโWow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.โ Freya chuckled. โCharity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.โHowever, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. โShaun 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.โ After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, โIt doesnโt matter to me. Iโll let nature take its
โYou havenโt answered my question.โ Charity asked in annoyance, โWhy were you in a hurry to get away from me?โ A miserable look washed over Chesterโs face. โIf I hadnโt done that, Iโm afraid I wouldnโt have been able to get hold of myself.โCharity looked down at the lower part of Chesterโs body. โIs it becauseโฆ you canโt control it anymore?โHer directness caused Chesterโs face to turn grim. โCharity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine canโt function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.โOnce 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.โCharity, next time, can Iโฆโ Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. โKiss you?โCharityโs 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. โCharity, itโs about time to wake up. Youโre going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.โWhile 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.โAre you planning to lie in?โAs it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. โLet me help you get changed.โBy the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaidโs outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. โWhy 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 Chesterโs deep, gentle voice. โCharity, wake upโฆโShe opened her eyes to see Chesterโs face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. โHow did I fall asleep?โHer hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her bodyโs 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. โWho allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.โโI called you, but you didnโt hear me.โChester lied without flinching. โI came in because I was worried something happened to you. Youโve been in
โI should be the one asking you why youโre in my room,โ Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.โ...โCharity 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. โAre you afraid that Iโll eat you up?โโYou think you can do that, huh?โ Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. โCan you do it now?โChesterโs 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.โSince you know I canโt do that, what are you afraid of?โ Chester gripped her waist. โCharity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you donโt stay here, you have nowhere else to go.โCharity stomped on his foot. โDid y
โSuspect that the child is yours?โ 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. โAs 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 hasnโt noticed it?โChester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. โDo you meanโฆโโPerhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasnโt exposed it.โ Shaun said indifferently, โI 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?โChester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. โMaybe she didnโt guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, โWhatโs wrong?โ โYour husband is bullying me.โ Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. โMove your paw off my wife,โ Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherineโs presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. โWhat are you doing?โCatherine glared at her husband. โChase and I are friends. Weโre besties. Whatโs with your attitude?โโThatโs right.โ Chase straightened his back with Catherineโs support. โI 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. Iโm so much better than you guys, yet I still donโt have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?โโIs he angry because of that?โ Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. โWas I wrong?โ Catherine threw the bag o
