All Chapters of Crossing Paths With Love Again: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Back at home, Freya approached Daniel for his Venmo."By the way, how did you get my phone number?" she asked."I got it from Grandpa."Freya nodded. After getting his Venmo, she immediately transferred half of the dinner bill to him.Daniel asked in confusion, "Why are you sending me money?""The dinner bill, we'll split it fifty-fifty," Freya said matter-of-factly.Daniel looked at her. "The moment we got married, I never expected you to pay for household expenses."Freya didn't understand the sudden seriousness in his tone and quickly explained, "This isn't about that. I just wanted to cover my own share since I ate, too.""I can easily take care of you. Keep your money for buying things you like," Daniel said as he opened a drawer, retrieved a bank card, and handed it to her."Use this card for household expenses from now on. I gave you the pin number before I left. Why haven't you used it? Did you forget the pin number?""I remember. I just don't have many expenses livin

The moment Daniel stepped out of the elevator after returning from work, the rich aroma of pork rib stew filled the air. Since this was a one-apartment-per-floor setup, he could easily tell where the delicious smell was coming from.When he opened the door, he saw Freya exercising in tight yoga clothes. She turned as she heard the door unlock, her face glistening with a fine layer of sweat. She was on her knees, her hands and chin resting on the mat, while her butt faced the entryway.The sight was so intense that Daniel instinctively reached for the shoe cabinet to grab his slippers.Freya stood up, noticing his dark expression. She figured he must have been exhausted from work and quietly put away her yoga mat before heading to the bathroom for a shower.Daniel sat on the couch and sipped on cold water, his gaze fixed on the closed bathroom door. After a while, he heard the water stop, and only then did he stand up and head to his own room.At dinner, Freya carefully observed Da

Freya was stirring the sauce for the crab when she heard the door open. She glanced up and simply said, "You're back."Daniel had changed into his indoor slippers and was now standing in the living room and watching her. She wore a loose black T-shirt and gray sweatpants. With her long hair tied up, her small frame made her look almost like a child.She was six years younger than him, and yet managed to give him a sense of home. The feeling was strange and made him almost irrational.Freya turned off the stove, covered the sauce, and reached for the steaming crab with oven mitts. When she turned around, she met his eyes. They had lost their sharpness, replaced by a softness of contentment."Why don't you go take a shower? I still have to make the mushroom soup before dinner."Daniel's gaze shifted slightly. "I'm hungry and don't want to move.""Then, sit and wait. I'll be quick."Freya turned away, still feeling his eyes on her. A flutter of nervousness made her heart race. Than

On graduation day, Freya rose early. As soon as she opened her phone, she saw Harper's reply. "Glad you like it. You're going to be a doctor from now on. Keep going!"The message was sent at just past 2:00 am. It seemed that Harper was truly busy. But with her gift and encouragement, Freya felt more confident than ever.She got ready and put on the cocktail dress and heels. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she marveled at Harper's thoughtfulness. After all this time apart, Harper had remembered her size perfectly. What a great friend.Freya took a cab to the university and picked up her graduation gown and hat at the assembly area. She sat quietly while waiting for all her classmates to arrive so they could head to the stadium together."Hey, isn't that our top student, Freya? What's she doing sitting here alone?" a voice called out. The group of students who had been taking photos turned their attention to Freya.What had been a peaceful moment for Freya shattered

Freya climbed the steps, meeting Daniel's gaze as they were nearly at eye level. She looked intently into his eyes and asked nervously, "Did you ever reply to a letter from someone named Cameron?"Daniel thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't recall."Freya prompted, "Her letters were always written on blue paper and folded into a leaf shape."Daniel's memory was jogged. He remembered the leaf-shaped letters, which he had accidentally damaged. "That was you? The one applying to our medical faculty?"He recalled writing a lot of words of encouragement to the sender, as the requirements to enter the medical faculty were much more difficult to meet compared to the finance faculty.Freya's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Yes! That was me."Daniel affectionately ruffled her hair and said with a smile, "I'm glad it was."Freya suddenly felt the atmosphere grow a bit intimate under Daniel's gaze. Smiling, she subtly avoided his touch and moved away.Daniel followed after he
