Colton hurriedly went forward to catch Freyja to prevent her from falling down. He frowned tightly.
“Deedee, how can you push your aunt?” Deedee wasscared by his furious gaze.
She shrunk back a little and bit her lips to stop herself from crying.
Freyja took a deep breath and approached Deedee again.She lowered her voice and said, “Deedee,
I’m sorry.I shouldn’t have raised my voice just now.I was just too worried about you..."
Deedee pushed her hand away and cried, “My parents didn’t want me, and now you don’t want me
either." Freyja was stunned.
“Deedee, I didn't say I don't want you — "
“Liar! I heard everything you said that night! You’re going to send me away!” Deedee saton the floor
and bawled her eyes out, venting her spleen.
Freyja’s heart skipped a bit, and her chest tightened.She did not expect Deedee to have heard
everything she had said that night.
That was why she thought she did not want her and was going to abandon her.
But Freyja had never wanted to abandon her at all.
She did not want to keep Deedee by her side because not only was Deedee her brother’s daughter, but
she was also the Pruitts' only descendant.She would be the one to inherit everything from the
Pruitts.She had every reason to stay with the Pruitts, and Freyja was confident that her father would
take good care of her.
However, if Deedee stayed with her, it went without saying that she could take care of her just fine,but
what would the outside world think of Deedee? For the Goldmanns, Deedee was not related to them at
all, and Freyja could not possibly expect the Goldmanns to accept Deedee.
Even if Colton was willing to raise Deedee until she grew up, once Freyja had her own child, she might
end up neglecting Deedee and making her unhappy.
That being said, she did not know how to explain this to Deedee.
'Maybe, I am too selfish to think that I am doing this for Deedee’s own good?’ Freyja squatted down
and grabbed Deedee into her arms.
As she caressed her head, she said, “I've never wanted to abandon you, Deedee.” Deedee finally
calmed down after Freyja comforted her for a long while.
Perhaps she was tired from crying, so she fell asleep in Freyja’s arms.
Freyja carried her back to her room and tucked her in.
After that, she closed the door and left.
Freyja saw that Colton was standing in the corridor.
She couldn't tell if he was still angry or not.
Pressing her lips tightly, she approached him and asked, "Are you still angry?”
When Deedee pushed her, Colton was clearly infuriated.
However, Deedee did not know she was pregnant.
Besides, Deedee was doing that because she thought she was going to send her away.
Colton was calm as he asked, “Do you know how severe the consequences would be if I didn’t catch
you in time?”
The calmer hewas, the harder it was for her to read his emotions.
