[I’m Freya’s university coursemate. She’s pretty nice. My family’s financial situation was bad back then, so I was often mocked for wearing old clothes. Freya was the one who stood up for me and helped me. She was already good friends with Catherine back then. Although their families were well-off in Melbourne, they were both nice people.][I remember too. Freya and Catherine were the University of Melbourne’s campus belles. They didn’t like going out to fool around as well.][Since Freya’s first love has stepped up, it should be true. They had dated for a few years, so he must know Freya well. Moreover, it seems like he regrets not cherishing her back then.][Rodney should just get lost. Stop showing up and disgusting people.][Learn from Freya’s first love. Although they had broken up, he had realized his mistakes, and he didn’t talk bad about his girlfriend.][Please, don’t you guys know Rodney likes lunatics like Sarah? Can he be a proper and nice person?][That’s right. I ca
“The prime minister thinks that Ryan’s personal matters have caused a commotion, which has brought great negative influence upon the prime minister’s office. As the prime minister, he can’t show favoritism because Ryan is his son. After this, Secretary Snow will not be participating in work related to internal government affairs. He’s planning to further his studies and pursue a Ph.D.”The reporter asked, “Is the prime minister supportive of Ryan and Freya being together?”“The prime minister is neither supportive nor against it. He thinks that Secretary Snow is an adult. Love is about freedom, and he can’t meddle in those affairs. However, the prime minister and his wife have officially ended their relationship with Freya as godparents and goddaughter.”The interview was swiftly uploaded on the internet. When Freya, who had yet left for the company, saw it, she was shocked. She did not expect Ryan to resign out of the blue. No, it was not out of the blue. He did mention in his
The call ended.Freya’s heart that had been hanging since last night finally calmed down. Thinking closely, many things had happened ever since she came to Canberra.When she got divorced, she often suspected that she was a failure as a woman. She had felt despair, outrage, and sadness. However, on that day, the netizens were on her side. Many unfamiliar alumni from back then stood up for her, and even Patrick voiced out for her. She suddenly thought she was not a failure, after all. A person would experience many things in life. There were good things and bad things. As long as people stayed true to themselves, there would still be fairness in the world.Something fake would always be fake, and if one had not done something, then nothing could change that. …In Minister O’Connell’s villa. When Rodney saw that most of the comments on the internet were scolding him, he smashed his phone on the spot with a twisted expression. He never thought Patrick would stand up
Although Minister O’Connell knew Nathan’s son was not simple, he did not think Ryan would be so seasoned at his young age. Every step of his was calculated. Ryan might just go further than his father in the future. Rodney gazed at the ground in a daze. He was in disbelief. After everything he went through, he did not manage to ruin Freya and Ryan. Instead, he made the people support their relationship.Why did things turn out this way?What about those two people was worth being congratulated?“Minister O’Connell, our young master had troubled you last night. I’m deeply sorry.”The sound of footsteps came from the door. At that time, a deep voice rang from the direction of the door. Rodney raised his head abruptly. It was Master Snow of Snowden, who entered with a few subordinates behind him. “I’m the one who should apologize for having made you all wait at the door for a whole night.” Minister O’Connell smiled nonchalantly while holding a cup of tea. “I’ll drink this a
“Mm.”Jessica nodded and lowered her gaze. Her long eyelashes left a dark shadow on her pretty, capable face. “Brother has really gone crazy,” Carson said furiously. “Minister O’Connell is Uncle Nathan’s rival.”Jason’s expression was filled with sadness. He was a failure of a father. He did not educate his son well. “It’s my fault. After Sarah’s incident was exposed, I should’ve sent him overseas by force. I thought he was just stupid. I didn’t think he…”He let out a long sigh after he spoke.Wendy’s eyes reddened. “That child was deceived too badly by Sarah. His mental state is imbalanced. He can’t stay in the country anymore this time. Jessica, arrange for a private flight to send him overseas immediately. He shouldn’t return anymore in the future.”Jason and Old Master Snow did not speak. They gave their silent agreement. Jessica sat on the chair. She ran her fingers across the armrests unconsciously. Her gaze was knowing. “Things have already come this far. Will sendin
Old Master Snow looked as if he had aged a lot in an instant. He thought he had been pretty successful all along. Looking back, he was an utter failure. What demon did he create for the Snow family?Jason did not say a word.Rodney was his favorite, but he would not be so muddled as to continue begging for leniency. Wendy said agonizingly, “Jessica, do you expect us just to watch Rodney die? No matter what, he’s still your biological brother. Don’t you have any other way? I just want him to be alive. I’m not thinking of anything else.”Jessica felt bitter. However, she could only say calmly, “Let Uncle Nathan’s family make the decision. This issue isn’t one that I can decide by myself.”Everyone simply stared at each other. In the end, the living room regained its peace again.…Ryan and his family only knew about the matter in the evening. In the official residence, Nathan rubbed the middle of his brows with a fatigued expression. He smiled bitterly. “What a person the Sno
Upon hearing that, Nathan and Ryan went silent. After a long while, Nathan said resignedly in a low voice, “Let’s do as your mom said. I’ll talk to your uncle about this. I think they’ll agree to this. Your aunt said that it’s enough as long as Rodney is alive.”Ryan did not say anything else. He simply sighed and felt a heaviness in his heart. Being a bad guy was fine, but a person had to have limits. Rodney was so bad to the extent that he had no limits. Therefore, he was fated to end up miserable.…5:00 p.m. Ryan drove his car to look for Freya. He could finally enter her place openly with the identity of her boyfriend. He even bought a beautiful bouquet on the way. When he arrived at the Lynch family’s courtyard, Freya, who had been waiting for the whole day, opened the door and ran out as soon as she heard the sound of a car.Ryan stood with his back facing the light. He wore a white hoodie and a pair of blue jeans. His straight, slender figure left a long shado
In the living room, Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, and Forrest were present. Mr. Lynch’s expression was pretty gentle, while Forrest had a hardened face that was cold and expressionless.Ryan did not take it too seriously. His future brother-in-law had always had that expression anyway. He had never seen him smiling. “Mr. Lynch, Mrs. Lynch, I’m sorry. I’ve caused a lot of trouble to you two during these two days.” The first thing Ryan did after entering was apologize. “However, I truly love Freya. Our parents are no longer against us. I hope both of you will allow Freya and me to be in a relationship.”Mr. Lynch let out a harrumph on purpose. “Even if we disagree, aren’t you two already dating? My daughter ran out immediately after hearing the sound of the car. She’s been waiting for you all day.”Freya, who was exposed so soon, blushed and glared at her father in frustration. She stomped her feet. “Dad… It’s just because I’m touched. He even resigned from his job for me…”“Ryan, did you
Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As 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.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity
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, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity 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.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” 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?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun 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.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its
“You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once 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.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s 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. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While 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.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why 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 Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s 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. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in
“I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity 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. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s 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.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y
“Suspect that the child is yours?” 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. “As 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 hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I 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?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m
Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I 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. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
