No kidding. If pictures of the prime minister’s son touching a male celebrity’s hand were taken, the
prime minister would personally target Catherine.
…
In the lounge, Freya slammed the door shut after yanking Ryan in.
“Ryan, are you crazy?”
Freya’s body trembled as she glared at the man in front of her. “There are so many people and pairs of
eyes at this banquet tonight, yet you have the guts to hit on Peter so openly. You’re too shameless.
Don’t forget that you’re dating Summer. Are you still thinking about that man you like? I don’t
understand why you’ve become like this. If today’s incident is exposed, the scandal that Godmother
and Godfather have painstakingly suppressed will surface again. Don’t you know that?”
“Don’t worry. Catherine is a smart person. She won’t let a word of tonight’s incident get out.”
Ryan’s handsome face was calm. He was not flustered at all.
The more he behaved that way, the angrier Freya became, so much that she did not even filter her
words. “Since you like men so much, you shouldn’t date girls. What you’re doing is cheating and being
a sc*m.”
“Who said I liked men?” Ryan raised his eyebrows.
“Everyone knows it. I even saw it with my eyes just now. Your expression was really… sleazy.” Freya
paused for a moment before saying that last word with disappointment and annoyance.
It was not her first time witnessing that kind of thing. When she was overseas, she had seen a lot of
men come out of the closet. She supported true love and did not discriminate. However, she could not
accept Ryan’s attitude.
To her, he should not be that kind of person.
“I see.”
Ryan was not angry at all. Instead, his thin lips curved up into a smile. “I have no feelings for Peter. I
did that earlier just to show you what type of person is the celebrity you like.”
“You’re lying.” Freya did not believe him. On the contrary, she thought he was making excuses.
“I’m telling the truth.”
Ryan came closer to Freya all of a sudden. His usually gentle voice was deeper and raspier. The
surrounding air seemed to thin as well.
“Weren’t you sitting and chatting away happily with him tonight? Too bad he likes men. Didn’t you see
him blushing when I hinted at him just now?”
Furious. Freya raised her head, wanting to glare at him. However, she realized that their bodies were
almost touching each other and took a step back instinctively. “You were the one who forced him,
okay? Peter is not g*y.”
“Oh, even if he’s not, did he push me away when I gave him hints? He has no guts or manliness at all.”
As Freya stepped back, Ryan stepped closer, cornering her until she was against the cupboard.
She had nowhere to run and was speechless from his rebuttal.
Freya had to admit that what Ryan said was right. She used to think Peter was quite manly, but alas, it
was all just an imagination caused by the screens.
Her image of Peter had crumbled. She might not be able to like that celebrity anymore.
However, she still kept making excuses for him. “Do you know how hard it was for Peter to achieve his
current position? You have a high status. If he were to offend you, banning him would only take mere
minutes for you. You’re abusing your power to bully people.”
Ryan laughed coldly. “How can he, a man, throw away his backbone just because of identity, power,
and status? So you like those timid guys who have no backbone at all.”
“So what if I like them? What does it have to do with you?”
Freya blurted out in exasperation.
“Of course, it’s my business. Because I like you.”
After saying that with a hoarse voice, Ryan placed his hands on both sides of the cupboard, caging
Freya in the middle. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her hard.
Boom.
Freya felt as if thousands of fireworks were going off in her head.
It was just like the night they went to the theme park and sat on the Ferris wheel.
When the Ferris wheel gondola reached the highest point, the whole night sky was brightly lit.
Freya’s head began to spin.
