Was Freya blind?
“Freya Lynch, why do you have to be so mean with your words?” Rodney nearly lost his temper.
“Uncle Rodney, you need to accept reality sometimes. That’s your age, ” Freya added grimly.
“Enough. Stop provoking him. We’re still in the car. I don’t want to be involved in an accident.”
Catherine reminded Freya helplessly after casting a look at a fuming Rodney.
At last, Freya let out a sigh and kept quiet. That sigh made Rodney’s heart clench.
He was not sure whether Freya sighed because Catherine already had a boyfriend or she herself could
not be with a handsome young guy since she was already married.
Soon after arriving at the Lynch household, the two women headed upstairs to rest.
Rodney tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
After some time, he sat up and looked into the mirror. He first looked at his eyebrows and then his thin
lips.
In the end, he could not help but send a WhatsApp message to his buddies in the group chat. [Don’ t
you agree that my brows are charming and my pursed lips look like a heart shape? I’m very handsome,
right? I think the four of us are the most handsome men in Australia. We’re handsome in different
ways.]
Chester: [Take some medicine if you’re sick.]
Shaun: [Your brain could have become heart- shaped.]
Rodney was speechless. [F*ck off. I met a mixed- race brat who has charming brows and heart-
shaped pursed lips. He has had Freya and Catherine bewitched.]
Shaun: [What? I’ll make you pay if you’re lying.] Chase: [How bratty is he? Is he a grown-up?]
Rodney: [He’s a 21-year-old handsome young guy. Freya kept drooling over him just now, and
Catherine taught him how to peel a crayfish. By the way, Catherine even peeled a crayfish for him and
made me send the guy home after supper.]
After sending the message, he somehow felt better. Since he was in a bad mood, he wanted to drag
Shaun down as well.
Shaun: [Are you kidding?]
Chester: [Are you trying to provoke Shaun and make him lose sleep at such a late hour?]
Chase: [D*mn. Don’t tell me that I have to go to Melbourne Airport to pick Shaun up in the middle o f
the night.]
Rodney: [Why would I be lying to you guys? But you have to thank me, Shaun. When Catherine was
away, I told the guy that Catherine is already married and has children. The guy looked heartbroken.]
Shaun: [I’m sure Cathy isn’t interested in that guy. What’s more, is there any man in Australia who’s
more handsome than me?]
Chase: […]
Chester: […]
Unable to stomach Shaun’s narcissistic behavior, Rodney replied mercilessly. [To be frank, you’re quite
handsome. Freya said the guy looks like Legolas, while Catherine said the sight of him gave her a
sense of familiarity and affability. By the way,
after Freya met the handsome young guy, she suddenly felt I’m too old.]
Chester: [Ahem. After Catherine met the handsome young guy, would she also think that Shaun is too
old?]
Chase: [Shaun, Rodney, don’t worry. We may be old, but we’re charming.]
Shaun: [Buzz off. Chase, come and pick me up at Melbourne Airport three hours later.]
Chase: [F*ck you, Rodney Snow. Can’t you talk about it only after you return to Canberra?]
Rodney: [I suddenly feel a little better. I think I can go to bed now.]
The next morning.
7: 00 a.m.
Catherine woke up. After all, it was not her room, and she had trouble sleeping on a strange bed.
Afraid that she would wake Freya, she stealthily put on her clothes and crept downstairs.
Nevertheless, she was dazed at the sight of a tall figure seated in the living room. She was under the
impression that she was not fully awake and her
eyes were betraying her, to think that Shaun was in the Lynch household.
