“I know an excellent divorce lawyer. I’ll come along with you.”
“No need. Just let me know the lawyer’s contact details. I want to have some quiet time alone on my
way there.”
After Freya finished speaking, she saw Catherine’s anxious gaze fixed on her. Then, she forced a
smile. “Don’t worry. I’ve gone through all kinds of situations over the past few years—from being
physically abused by Patrick to being insulted by Thomas and even having no choice but to leave
Australia. But after I returned, I became the prime minister’s goddaughter. When Senator Mead
prepared to rebel, I was kept under surveillance every day and had to be cautious. I almost thought I
was going to die, but I survived those days. I’m no longer the same as how I was back in Melbourne.
What’s more, I can’t give up, or what’s going to happen to Dani?”
She gnashed her teeth and said with a hoarse voice, “If Rodney plans on marrying Sarah in the future,
I’m sure Sarah won’t treat Dani well. I need to take Dani away.”
“Freya, we’ll help you.” Catherine was saddened by Freya’s words. “ If things really get that bad, I’ll ask
my mom for help. As much as I don’t want to acknowledge her, I can ask her to get Uncle Titus’ help.”
“Thanks, Cathy.”
Somehow, Freya felt more at ease with Catherine’s presence.
At the very least, she was not lonely in Canberra. She drove around the city.
Her phone rang many times.
Those calls were from Rodney, but she did not pick them up.
At the sight of his number, Freya was too weak to answer it.
It felt as though her head was going to explode. She was desperate for a way to vent her feelings.
She parked her car at the roadside.
She walked into the convenience store to buy a packet of cigarettes.
She had never smoked, but she felt like trying it now.
When she lit a cigarette and took a drag of it, she coughed until tears came out of her eyes.
It was terrible.
Just now, she told Catherine that she had survived all those experiences. However, she did not add
that those experiences had been miserable for her.
As the eldest young lady of the Lynch family, why was she living this kind of life?
In the past, she just wished to live an ordinary life with a good-looking, capable man who loved her.
It did not matter if he was not rich.
All she wanted was a happy family just like what her parents gave her, but why was this so difficult?
“Freya, are you crazy? Why are you smoking alone here?”
A man came from behind. He grabbed the cigarette from her hand and tossed it on the ground. Then,
he stepped on it to put it out.
Freya remained still.
Feeling helpless, Ryan pulled her up. He froze the moment he saw the tears on her face.
He was passing by this area to deal with something. He happened to feel thirsty, so he came to the
convenience store to buy some water. He spotted her squatting at the roadside, but he did not expect
that…
“What’s wrong with you? ” As he held her up, he recalled the matter that she asked him to investigate
earlier. “Is it because Rodney bullied you?”
“Leave me alone. I want to have some quiet time.” Freya did not move nor look at him.
She really did not want to see anyone from the Snow family.
Ryan pursed his sharp, thin lips.
