“Oh, you…” Wendy once again lamented losing such a good daughter-in-law. “But my back has been
doing well lately. I just have a headache from being pissed off and annoyed by a lot of things.”
Freya thought that if she were to have a son like Rodney, she would not only have a headache. She
would even have high blood pressure and brain hemorrhage.
Saturday was Ryan’s day off.
At 9:00 a.m., the driver drove the business car to a children’s photo studio in Canberra.
Freya did not ask which photo studio it was as she believed in Ryan’s competence.
She only found out that the photo studio was situated among the villas near the esplanade when they
arrived. The interior design was exquisite, and there were many styles for children’s photoshoots.
There were also all types of designs of children’s clothing, which were all brand new.
“This place must be expensive. How much is it? I’ll transfer the money to you…”
Freya spoke to Ryan while the employee had gone to pour them a cup of tea.
Ryan smiled and said, “No need. Didn’t you tell Aunt Wendy that Dani had taken her pictures? She
asked me how much it had cost in private. I told her a figure, and she transferred me the money.”
Freya clasped her forehead speechlessly for a while. “You didn’t have to take her money. You could’ve
just told me…”
“Don’t be silly. Does your money fall from the trees? Rodney didn’t give you a single penny when you
guys got divorced. What’s wrong with them paying for Dani’s pictures?”
Ryan said in a serious tone, “You’ve even agreed to hold the 1oo-day-old banquet at the Snow family’s
house to make the elders of Snow family happy.
Since the Snow family members are my family, and they usually treat me very well, I can’t comment on
anything. However, you have to understand that if it weren’t for my and Jessica’s help this time,
Rodney would most probably be the successor of Snow Corporation.”
Freya stammered, “It’s because I know it… That is why I don’t want their money.”
“Okay. I won’t accept their money next time.” Ryan nodded.
Freya was taken aback. “Aren’t you going to persuade me anymore? Didn’t you say I was silly?”
“Maybe I keep protecting you because you’re so silly.” Ryan flashed Freya a smile.
Freya felt a sting in her nose.
She could not put it into words, but she knew that Ryan was sincerely treating her well. “Ryan, you’re
so nice to me. From now on, I’ll treat you well too. I’ll also be nice to your wife and your children.”
‘Please don’t say anything if you don’t know what to say,’ Ryan thought.
The following photoshoot did not go well.
Aunty Loretta was helping at first, and Dani was quite obedient. However, less than half an hour into
the photoshoot, Dani became irritated. She cried and completely ignored the facilitator. As such, Aunty
Loretta could not handle her, and the facilitator could not do anything either. Since Dani was unfamiliar
with other maids too, Ryan stepped forward and interacted with Dani. He made Dani laugh from time to
time.
Freya could feel how tiring it was to accompany children for a photoshoot even though she was in a
wheelchair. However, Ryan did not find it troublesome at all. Whenever Dani was about to cry, he would
pick Dani up in his arms and walk around the room. He would feed her milk, too. The facilitator poured
a cup of hot tea for Freya with a smile and said, “Your husband is doing so well. I couldn’t even be of
help.”
