If Freya knew Ryan would use that photo to announce their relationship, she would rather they never took that photo. F*ck. Even if he wanted to make their relationship public, could he not inform her beforehand?To her, it was like a bolt out of the blue.In the middle of the night, Freya felt as if the sky was about to fall.At that point, Freya could only calm down and gather herself together to read the words Ryan posted. [We’re in love. Many people are against us being together, and many others are shocked by our relationship status. Yes, shocked. I’m the only one who isn’t. [I know very well that I’ve loved this woman for two years. [We met for the first time when my mom brought Freya to our home. My mom said that the Snow family owed Freya a favor and made my parents take her in as their goddaughter. She would be my sister in the future. A sister who was two months older than me.[I didn’t take it seriously back then. In my heart, I treated her as a peer of the opposite
[After that, Freya and Rodney got a divorce. To prevent Rodney from causing Freya trouble, my family let Freya move into the official residence. [Just after her divorce, she was severely lacking confidence. She felt like she did not deserve to have happiness as a woman after repeatedly facing failures in relationships. She thought she might not be good enough.[I encouraged her and consoled her. [I would send her messages every day, sending all sorts of articles and jokes her way.[Every day after I got off work, I’d bring her and the child to have a walk in the garden. [I’d buy various cakes and desserts for her. I’d say they were gifted to me by my friends and that I was giving them to her because I didn’t like them. [I was even afraid that treating her too well would arouse suspicions, so I pretended to be gay and even created scandals about me being gay to make her lower her guard around me. I wanted her to treat me as her best friend. [I pretended to have broken up wit
Initially, Freya was furious. She was furious that Ryan made their relationship public without consulting her beforehand and leaving her exposed. However, after reading what Ryan posted, she teared up in the middle of the night. When she blinked, tears rolled down uncontrollably. She knew exactly when Ryan started liking her. Freya had felt touched when she first found out. However, when Ryan put everything down in words and even opened up about his true feelings, she, the person concerned, was utterly moved.Nothing was more convincing than words. Moreover, she knew what Ryan said was true. The moments they shared together were still fresh in her memory. That man looked sly sometimes, but it seemed to prove his love for her. Freya suddenly felt regretful. In comparison to Ryan’s feelings, she was too weak and cowardly. She even blamed him just now. What right did she have to blame him? He did it all because he loved her. Ryan knew Freya well. However, even with a
“It’s already announced. What else can I think about?”Freya gazed at the bright moon in the dark sky. She suddenly felt relaxed. “Actually, Ryan knows me very well. I was happy being with him during this period. However, we always had to wear masks, sneak around, and be very cautious whenever we went out. Sometimes, I felt like what we had was stolen happiness. He would always talk to me about things far away into the future, but I didn’t even dare to think about them. I was scared, but not anymore. Who cares? Let’s just go with the flow. However, if the company’s reputation is tarnished, I’d feel extremely sorry to you all.”“Don’t say that. People are not fools. Even I was touched, not to mention everyone else. There might be some extreme individuals, but I believe that your relationship with Ryan will be supported by others.”Catherine said sincerely, “Freya, actually, I wasn’t really supportive of you risking everything for Ryan during the day. However, it’s clear he’s willing
“Stop fighting.”Heidi kept looking at the post with her phone. Seeing that Nathan and Ryan were almost done fighting, she raised her head and said, “Ryan isn’t wrong. Besides, what he wrote… It’s his true feelings. I just had a look at it. Things are developing well right now. Most of the people are touched.”“Really?” Nathan was taken aback. He quickly went over. “Let me see.”Heidi handed him her phone.Nathan did not forget to put on his glasses.[Oh, I can’t take this. I’m so moved. How can there be such a wonderful love?][I suddenly find Ryan very manly. Freya is quite pitiful too. Luckily, her hard times are over and she met Ryan. Love each other bravely. I’ll support you two.][“If only she had met me earlier, I’d never have let her be a divorcee.” These are the best words of love I’ve ever heard.][Oh my gosh. No wonder everyone was saying in private that Ryan liked men. I thought he really… Okay, he was simply putting on a show for Freya to see. I don’t know what to
[Freya responded. She stepped up and admitted their relationship too. Go and have a look.][I saw it. Catherine and Eliza voiced out too.]“...”There were tens of thousands of comments after that. Nathan did not read any more of them. After exiting the comments section, he found Freya and the others’ Facebook posts. His expression got better too. The weight on his heart finally eased. However…Nathan frowned. He let out a harrumph and handed the phone to Heidi. “We’ll see again tomorrow. Let’s hope the trend maintains this way tomorrow. However, my opponents might hire paid posters to discredit us.”“If they’re hiring paid posters, can’t we do the same?” Heidi said as she smiled. “Moreover, everything Ryan said is the truth. He didn’t hide anything. It’s because of that that the people are supportive of them. No matter how many paid posters other people hire, the public won’t believe them.”“Are you sure there aren’t any flaws in the statement?” Nathan looked toward his son
“Dad, I know you might not be used to me not being your right-hand man, but you can hire me as a special advisor. You can still look for me for matters you can’t entrust to other people. Also, I’m planning to get a Ph.D. during this period. I’m still young. I want to spend more time settling down. To be honest, I’m only 26 years old. If I stand out too much, others will get jealous and start to ostracize me. Sometimes, taking a step back can enable further advancement in the future.”Nathan had no words.His son had arranged everything well. He could not even refute him. He should be glad too. After all, Ryan was still young, yet he could think maturely and be independent. “Just do as he said.” Heidi nodded. “Young people shouldn’t just chase after influence and status. What you have now, you might not have in the future. The knowledge in your brain and the certificate in your hands will be the greatest things to rely on in the future. If there’s still enough time, you should lea
Freya: [But I really like you, you despicable man. I like you, and I love you.]The short message made Ryan stunned. His heart started beating intensely and quickly. Freya: [Would you be thinking of kissing me if I were in front of you?]Ryan: [You got me. Yes, I want to kiss you so badly and wrap you in my arms.]Freya: [Look for me tomorrow. I’ll let you kiss me all you want.]After she spoke, she sent a few kissing emojis. Ryan’s blood boiled in the middle of the night. If it were not for him needing to write a resignation letter later, he desperately wished to run to her side. Ryan sent an emoji that was laughing bitterly. [Little seductress, are you trying to make me lose sleep tonight?]Freya: [I won’t be able to sleep anyway. Who told you to announce our relationship with such touching words? I was truly moved. Ryan, I’m ordering you, you have to always treat me this well and love me for a lifetime. Do you get it? I’m taking it seriously because I’ve fallen deeply in
