Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
In truth, Rodney did not know what had happened to him. When he was downstairs and the Snow family
suggested that he marry her, he was not as resistant to it as before.
Maybe it was because of the child, or maybe it was because he thought that Freya was actually a good
person. She would be a good wife.
Maybe he had some feelings for her.
He admitted that he might not love her now, but he would slowly learn to love her and their child. He
would become a responsible man in the future.
Freya pursed her lips silently, and he became nervous. “Hey, say something. I’ll get nervous if you don’t
say anything.”
“It’s your second time proposing. What do you have to be nervous about?” Freya spat out.
Rodney froze and suddenly blushed when he remembered how he had proposed to Sarah in the
restaurant previously. “I was serious about Sarah before, but my relationship with her is a matter of the
past. It’s impossible between Sarah and me. I’m proposing to you seriously now. Actually… I think that…
you’re… not bad. Look, after we get married and the Snow family resolves this crisis, we can punish
Patrick Jackson together. Think about it, people outside are hurling abuse at us. Patrick and Linda must
be feeling very smug about it. Are you able to accept it?”
Freya gritted her teeth. Of course, she could not accept it.
“Rodney, I’m just unhappy with the fact that you’re proposing to me so casually after proposing to Sarah
before. You’re making me look like a scrap collector and I’m collecting trash that even Sarah didn’t want.”
Rodney Snow, the leftover scraps, became angry and blurted out, “You can’t say that. You were
abandoned by Patrick and I was abandoned by Sarah. Look how well matched we are.”
“What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying that I’m also trash?” Freya was in the middle of her
pregnancy, so she was particularly sensitive.
“Ahem, that’s not it. I’m just saying that we’ve gone through the same misfortunes, ” Rodney said
awkwardly, “Besides, I don’t think you’re trash.
You’re exceptional and the most promising cosmetic chemist in the world. You have a great future, you’re
five years younger than me, and you’re beautiful. If I marry you, I’d be like cow dung stuck on a flower.”
Freya was originally a little angry, but she could not help but laugh at his words. “Alright, at least you’re
self—aware.”
Rodney, “…..”
Yes, she had never expected him to become so humble and flatter her. He had never acted like this in
front of Sarah before.
“Um… Lady, can you let me get up now? My knee hurts from kneeling,” Rodney asked stiffly.
“What did you call me?” Freya raised a thin brow. “ I’m half a decade younger than you, but you have the
nerve to address me as ‘Lady’? Why don’t you call me ‘Ma’am’ instead?”
Rodney was exasperated. If she became ‘Ma’am’ before marrying him, would she become an empress
after marrying him?
“Also, I remember watching on the news back then that you knelt for a long time when you proposed to
Sarah. But now you’re saying that your knee hurts after just a while? Sure enough, your heart isn’t
sincere enough.” Freya snorted.
Rodney was desperate. “Ma’am, how long do you want me to kneel before agreeing?”
Freya smiled. “Just half an hour, then I’ll agree. ” Half an hour.
The corners of Rodney’s mouth twitched.
“What, are you unwilling?” Freya raised her brows.
“ .. No, it’s just half an hour. That’s child’s play, ” Rodney immediately said.
Freya glanced at him. “ Say, you didn’t care about the Snow family’s reputation at all when you were with
Sarah in the past, but you care about it so much now. You’re really trying hard in order to let your uncle
become prime minister.”
Rodney opened his mouth. After a moment, he said in a complicated tone, “The main reason is that…
I’m also responsible for this mess. Although no one is blaming me, my heart… still feels uncomfortable.
Our child will have to be born sooner or later. It’s not good for her to be an illegitimate child. If we get
married, at least others will know that she’s Rodney Snow’s daughter and no one will laugh at her. ”
