A man who looked 30 years old or so was standing at the entrance. Standing roughly 1.75 meters tall,
he wore a formal navy- colored jacket with brown casual pants and black leather shoes. He had a pair
of glasses on, and his features were well-defined. He exuded a refined, intellectual aura.
Freya knew at first glance that he was Jack. She had seen him in pictures before, but his temperament
was much better in person than in the photos.
Jack spotted Freya too. She was wearing a wine – colored coat, with her black curls resting on her
shoulders. Her charming features were more three-dimensional and deep-set than an average
person’s. Even her forehead, which was revealed by the blowing wind, was naturally beautiful.
When Freya came closer, he noticed that her makeup was very light. Her eyelashes were long and
well-defined, and her eyes were bright and pretty. She did not look like someone who had been married
and pregnant before at all.
Although Jack had seen many pretty, young girls in the university, he could not help but feel attracted to
Freya.
He did not understand why Rodney would have a mistress when he had such a pretty, young wife at
home. What was wrong with Rodney’s eyes? Perhaps those young masters from wealthy families had
a different mindset than ordinary people.
“Hello, I’m Jack Morgan.”
He extended his hand politely. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“The pleasure is mine. Let me introduce myself. I’m Freya Lynch.”
Freya shook his hand.
That was her first blind date in her entire life.
“Miss Lynch, let’s head inside. I’ve already ordered the food,” Jack said gently. “I should’ve gone to pick
you up, but I had a class that only ended at 5:30 p.m. today. My school is quite far away, and the
journey to come over here is long…”
“It’s okay. I work near here anyway, so making my way here is quite convenient.”
After being seated, Freya and Jack started chatting casually. Jack seemed quite natural in person and
was not as dull as when they were chatting on WhatsApp. Moreover, he was a Physics professor, so he
was quite knowledgeable. However, on the occasional times that they touched on Physics, Freya did
not understand a thing as she used to be weak in her science.
Therefore, they talked about their past. Most people knew about Freya’s story already, but Jack, on the
other hand, also had a marriage before overseas. He fell in love at first sight with his ex-wife. After
spending some time together, he realized that they were not a good match, so they got a divorce.
Currently, his child was under his parents’ care since he was relatively busy and often participated in
some confidential experiments.
Halfway through the meal, Freya got up to go to the bathroom.
At that moment, Ryan sent her a WhatsApp message: [How’s your blind date going?]
Freya lowered her head and typed to reply to him. As she was not paying attention to the path in front
of her, she accidentally bumped into a wheelchair.
“Don’t you watch where you’re going?”
A familiar, angry man’s voice rang out. Freya was so stunned that she raised her head only to meet
Rodney’s… expressionless face.
They had not seen each other for some time now, ever since Dani’s one-month-old celebration.
However, the Rodney in front of her did not look well. There was stubble all over his face, which used
to be clean and handsome. He did not look as young and good -looking as before too.
The wheelchair that Freya had bumped into was Sarah’s. Sarah was sitting in the wheelchair and
wearing a mask. Only her forehead and eyes could be seen, but she was so thin that she was just skin
and bones. There were even wrinkles below her eyes.
Rodney and Sarah’s transformation made Freya disoriented for a moment.
Rodney was stunned too, and amazement flashed across his eyes. Freya was certainly dressed nicely
that day. He could even see that she had put on the delicate makeup that she mentioned before. The
clothes she wore also matched her skin tone, and even her skin was glassy and bright.
Both of them were divorced, but she did not look haggard at all. In fact, it seemed like… her life was
getting even better.
