Ryan countered Freya.
She glared at him viciously. “Ryan, you’re full of schemes.”
“Most of the mind games I’ve schemed in my life are all because of you.” Ryan laughed bitterly. “Freya,
think about it. For you, the whole world thinks that I like men. I really have no image left at all.”
“You liar.”
Freya muttered in anger. She was caught off guard at such an unexpected confession and did not
know what to do at all. “It’s useless no matter how well you phrase your words. It’s impossible for us…”
“How is it impossible? You’re divorced, and we’re not blood-related.” Ryan persuaded her stubbornly.
“I don’t like you…” Freya just thought it was too absurd. She could not agree to it at all.
“You don’t like me?” Ryan was not upset. In fact, he laughed. “Freya, ask yourself. Do you really not
like me?”
“I really, truly don’t…”
“Okay, let me ask you this.” Ryan pressed his finger against her lips to stop her from talking. “You got
angry when I carried your child to make Summer happy. Were you angry simply because you didn’t
want Summer to carry Dani? Or was it because you saw me carrying Dani to please Summer? When I
went to look for you that night, jealousy was written all over your face.”
As if Freya’s final defense had been torn away, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. “You’re the
jealous one. I don’t even like you. How could I be jealous?”
“Then, are you unhappy because I’ve been treating Summer well lately? And I’m quite often out on
dates with her…”
“No. Never.”
Freya could not continue listening to him, or she would go insane.
As Ryan looked at how agitated she was, love and tolerance overflowed from his clear eyes. “You are.
Freya, nothing is going on between Summer and me. We’re not dating either. I’ve been close to her
these days to, for one thing, deal with my parents. Secondly, it was to make you realize your feelings
for me. Summer doesn’t like me either. We’ve known each other for many years, and we actually do
keep in touch often. She has a boyfriend overseas, who she has been dating for many years, but her
parents aren’t very supportive of it.”
Freya was stunned.
It turned out that there was nothing going on between Ryan and Summer.
For some reason, she felt like the stone that had been weighing in her heart recently was removed.
She did not feel as annoyed as well.
“Ryan, you liar.”
She glared at him with her glinting eyes. “But Godmother and Godfather are already refurbishing a
house for you and Summer.”
“It’ll be impossible for Summer and I. After the New Year, we’ll make things clear to our parents. As for
the renovated house in The Lodge, I hope you’ll be the one who will move in…”
Ryan pressed a kiss on Freya’s lips domineeringly after he spoke.
Freya blushed and quickly pushed him away. “It won’t be mine. I’ve had a divorce, and I have a child.
Ryan, please stop those thoughts of yours. You’ll meet a better girl in the future. She’ll be able to take
your career to the next level.”
