Two days later, Freya returned home after getting off work. When she arrived at the dining hall’s door
while pushing Dani in her stroller, she heard pleasant laughter ringing inside.
“Summer, you’re so adorable.” Heidi was grinning from ear to ear.
Freya’s footsteps halted. In that split second, Heidi saw her and waved her hand. “Freya, you’ve gotten
off work. Come over quickly. Let me introduce you.”
Under the bright chandelier, a sweet-looking woman was sitting beside Heidi. She looked like she was
in her 2os. She was graceful, and her smile was bright when she smiled at Freya. At first glance, she
was a woman who would be adored by elders. One could tell she was a polite person.
“This is Summer. I’ve mentioned her to you before. She’s also your godfather’s closest friend’s
daughter. ” Heidi’s voice was filled with delight. “I asked Ryan to bring Summer over for a meal.”
“Hello, Freya. Nice to meet you.” Summer showed Freya an elegant and sincere smile. Then, she
pouted her pink lips and said playfully to Ryan, who was sitting on the sofa, “Ryan, your sister is so
pretty.”
“Who said she’s my sister?” Ryan looked as if someone had stepped on his tail. He quickly glared at
Summer. “She’s almost the same age as me, okay?”
“She’s still older even though it’s just by a few months.” Summer covered her mouth and chuckled.
“That’s right. I’m two years older than you, so shouldn’t you address me as ‘Brother’?” Ryan winked
and made Summer blush in embarrassment.
Heidi was pleased as she watched from the side. She was worried that her son would refuse to come
to his senses, but she finally saw hope. “When you guys were younger and our families gathered for
meals, you would always call Ryan ‘Brother’ when you saw him. You would call out to him so sweetly
back then. However, you didn’t address him that way as much after growing up. Whenever I chatted
with your mom after that, we’d even joke about when we could become in-laws.”
“Mom, you’re talking about this when Summer’s only here for the first time. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll
scare her away?” Ryan teased.
“I won’t be scared away. My parents often said Aunt Heidi is friendly. She’s the role model for the
women in Australia. I’m here to learn plenty of things from her today.”
Summer circled Heidi’s arm, and that made Heidi very happy.
Freya found a place to sit down. She listened to them chat and suddenly felt like an extra, especially
when she saw Ryan and Summer talking to each other. Sometimes when they exchanged gazes or
smiled upon meeting each other’s eyes, the intimacy between them made Freya’s heart feel stuffy.
She was really annoyed at Ryan.
It turned out that he was getting along well with Summer. It did not seem like he disliked women at all.
If so, why did he have to kiss her as an experiment that day?
Never mind if it was an experiment, but why did he say those strange words and make her imagine
things? After that, he simply brought his blind date back home in an instant.
What did he… take her for?
“Freya, let’s eat. Are you daydreaming?” Heidi called Freya.
Freya quickly sat at the dining table while carrying Dani.
Summer glanced at Dani, who was in Freya’s hands. She said lovingly, “Freya, your child is so cute. I
like kids quite a lot.”
“I’ll carry her over and let you watch all you want if you like, ” Ryan said all of a sudden.
Freya’s body stiffened. For some reason, a wave of fury spread from her chest.
