“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
Ryan had no choice regarding that. “Mrs. Lynch, my mom’s plan is not to tell Dani about her biological father. Both of them won’t be able to meet each other anyway.”“That’s fine too. I don’t want Dani to know that she has such a father. It’s embarrassing,” Mrs. Lynch spoke with disdain, but she thought of something. After all, she was older by tens of years. She could quickly understand Heidi’s idea. If Ryan and Freya were to get married in the future, and Dani knew that he was not her biological father, it would create a barrier between the child and the adult. Dani was still young.If no one revealed the truth, everyone would think that Dani was Ryan’s child.Apart from wanting to avoid trouble, that must have been why Heidi had that thought.Upon thinking that way, Mrs. Lynch’s heart was more comfortable now. It looked like Ryan was not just all talk, and the prime minister’s wife could still accept her daughter. After giving it some thought, Mrs. Lynch’s expression t
After Ryan fell into a deep sleep, Freya tiptoed out of the guest room. Forrest and Mr. Lynch gave her a profound glance. Her face blushed instinctively. She explained, “I came out after waiting for him to fall asleep.”“Mm.”Mr. Lynch simply nodded and did not say anything.On the other hand, Forrest suddenly spoke, “I have no opinions about you two dating each other, but you should be careful. Don’t get pregnant before getting married again. You should’ve learned your lesson after having gone through it once.”“...Brother, I know that myself even without you telling me.”Freya rolled her eyes at Forrest out of anger and embarrassment. After that, she went to the playroom to play with Dani. An hour later.Ryan woke up just in time for dinner.After sleeping, he felt much better.Dani was especially excited when she saw him and kept wanting him to carry her. Ryan carried the baby in one hand and ate with the other hand. Dani blinked her eyes and stared at him eating while
“Two years…”Freya muttered. At that time, she would be 28. It was not too early nor late.“Darling, it’s considered late. You won’t look pretty when you become the bride if you wait for too long.” Ryan squeezed her hand softly. “Since you’ve never been a bride, don’t you want to try being one? Look, even Shaun and Catherine are planning to hold a wedding.”Freya was stunned.That was true. She was once married, yet she had never been a bride.At this thought, she was slightly swayed.“But… I might want to marry you in less than two years.” Freya blinked and draped her arms on his shoulders.“That’s wonderful.” Ryan said with a smirk, “Come on. I’m waiting for you to propose to me.”“...”Freya was dazed. When she came to her senses, she was so angry that she punched his chest. “Ryan, I’ll refuse to marry you if you’re like this!”He had gone too far. How shameless of him to ask a woman to propose to him.Dani noticed her mother hitting Ryan. She learned from Freya and lifte
Freya lay in Ryan’s arms, feeling a little dejected.When it was 8:00 p.m. or so, Mrs. Lynch could not help it. She entered the room and said, “Freya, I’m going to bathe Dani. Why don’t you go out and stroll around with Ryan? It’s rare that he’s here to visit you. You shouldn’t make him accompany the child all the time.”“It’s okay, Mrs. Lynch. I’m very fond of Dani. Let me bathe her.” Ryan immediately carried the child and leaped to his feet. “I’ve always bathed Dani before this.”Stunned, Mrs. Lynch promptly waved her hand. “No need. I…”“Mrs. Lynch, give me a chance to prove myself. I want to be Dani’s father really badly,” Ryan said with a flattering tone while grinning.He made his intention so obvious and straightforward that Mrs. Lynch did not know whether to laugh or cry.“It’s fine, Mom. Just let him do it.”Since her boyfriend was so proactive, Freya could not stop him. She said in a mocking tone, “It’s not easy to be Dani’s father. Take your best shot.”Ryan proactiv
