When Dani was in Ryan’s embrace, she stopped crying immediately. She even pouted as if she had
gone through a lot of awful things just now.
“Baby Dani, stop crying, alright?” Ryan gently wiped away the tears on her face. ” Uncle will play with
you later, okay?”
He kept making funny faces, and Dani very quickly burst into laughter.
Rodney was drowning in jealousy as he watched. He utterly despised Ryan. It was because of Ryan
that the Snow family members agreed to his and Freya’s divorce. Ryan had his eyes on Freya, and he
even stole his daughter’s attention away.
These things were supposed to be Rodney’s.
He had the urge to smash everything around him.
Nevertheless, he knew that this was the official residence. Ryan was Nathan’s son. It was not a place
where he could simply make a fuss.
Rodney clenched his fists and held himself back.
At that moment, his phone rang. He took his phone out. It was Sarah who was calling.
He knew why Sarah was calling without even needing to pick up the call. She liked to think nonsense
these days. He bit the bullet and went to the side to pick up the call. “Didn’t I say I have something to
do tonight and won’t be going back to eat?”
“What do you mean you’re not coming back to eat? Did you go to look for Freya?” Sarah’s sobs came
from the phone. “You didn’t come back in the afternoon, and you’re not coming back for dinner either.
Are you disdainful of how I look now?
“Do you think I want to be like this? I hate my current state more than anyone else.”
Rodney had a headache as he listened to Sarah’s screams.
Ever since they saw Freya at the restaurant last time, Sarah’s words became increasingly harsh. If he
did not reply to her Whatsapp messages and pick up her calls in time, or if he was outside having a
business dinner, she would always suspect that he had gone to look for Freya.
It would always be the same topic every single time.
Rodney did not blame Sarah. After all, it was common to have a change in attitude if anyone were to
end up in such a state.
However, as time passed, he would sometimes feel tired of the endless suspicions and complaints,
especially when many things were not going smoothly at the company. His daughter would rather be
close to Ryan instead of him too.
Rodney felt like he was in agony every day.
This was the most miserable period in his whole life.
If he could, he desperately wanted a cure for regret.
He wanted to go back to the time before he hid Sarah.
However, there was no medicine to cure regret in the world.
Rodney could only lower his voice and say, “I didn’t. I just came to the official residence to meet Dani.
I’ll go back after dinner.”
“You only think of the daughter you have with Freya. Have you forgotten that we had a child before
too?”
The incident with the child pricked Sarah like a needle. “If it weren’t for Freya, I wouldn’t have lost my
child. I can’t even have children anymore. What meaning is there in me living? I should just d*e.”
“Stop talking nonsense, okay?” Rodney said tiredly.
“If I d*e, it’ll let you and Freya become a family of three.” Sarah hung up the call after she said those
words while crying.
Rodney was dejected. He had no choice but to g o back to the dining table. “Uncle, Aunt, I have
some urgent matters today, I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come and visit Dani again another day.”
