In the wee hours.
Freya and Ryan parted at the parking lot of The Lodge.
When Freya returned to the bedroom, Aunty Loretta was accompanying a sleeping Dani. Upon noticing her return, Aunty Loretta said softly, "She just woke up and drank half the bottle of milk."
"She didn't cry, right?" Freya asked.
"No."
"Thanks, Aunty Loretta." Freya was quite embarrassed that she was out with Ryan late at night. Now that Aunty Loretta was under Ryan, she was surely aware of the affairs between the two of them.
Aunty Loretta said with a smile," Considering that Young Master treats me very well, this is my duty."
Freya was ashamed. "Ryan is nice. We know that the two of us shouldn't... I'm sorry, Aunty Loretta. You're the only person who can cover up for us so far..."
Aunty Loretta sighed. "When Young Master often came and accompanied you and Dani a while ago, you guys really looked like a family. In fact, the two of you are well-matched in terms of age and appearance. Unfortunately, the two of you had to go through so much before this. However, you're so nice, and the prime minister and his wife are fond of you too. As long as you put in a bit more effort, they'll accept you.”
Freya knew that Aunty Loretta was trying t o comfort her. She, too, knew that some things were not that easy. However, she nodded and thanked Aunty Loretta for her kindness.
After Aunty Loretta left, Freya changed into her pajamas. At that moment, she received a WhatsApp message from Ryan. [I noticed that you were walking slowly just now.
Were you in pain?]
Freya’s body instantly stiffened.
She did not feel like talking to that b*stard.
Freya: [Hurry up and go to bed. You're annoying]
Ryan: [This isn't what you said when you were in bed. Women are really fickle ]
Freya: [I'm going to ignore you.]
Upon hearing that, Freya took pity on him too. He only came back about 4:00 a m. last night, so how many hours could he have slept?
After going upstairs, she washed up and picked up her phone. At 11:00 a.m., she received a message from Ryan. [Darling, are you awake?]
Freya: [I just woke up. You didn't sleep much last night. Are you okay?]
Ryan: [Mm. I didn't sleep at all ]
Freya: [You didn't sleep at all? Why?]
Ryan: [ I was so overjoyed and too excited when I got back that I couldn't fall asleep. After that, I was anxious and couldn't sleep too.]
Freya: [???]
She could understand that he was overjoyed and excited. However, she could not figure out why he was anxious later.
