In the evening.
At the Lynch family's villa.
When Freya’s car entered the parking lot, she immediately saw Ryan's black Audi that was parked there too.
She was stunned and quickly went into the house. She found Ryan in the living room playing with Dani. Dani was giggling.
"Why... Why are you here?" Freya was puzzled. They were glued to each other for the entire morning. She never heard him mentioning anything when he drove her to work in the afternoon.
"Mrs. Lynch told me to come. I also came because I missed Dani."
Ryan tickled Dani's chin with a smile as he spoke.
Usually, Dani would stretch her hand to be carried when she saw that her mom had returned. On that day, her attention was entirely focused on Ryan. She did not notice her mom at all.
Freya felt slightly jealous and pinched Dani's small face. "You ungrateful kid. Don't you miss Mom?”
"Mama..."
Dani suddenly spoke to Freya.
Freya was stunned. It was the first time Dani addressed her. She urged excitedly," Dani, say 'Mama' again, okay? Call me again."
Dani blinked her big, bright eyes. She turned her head away and ignored Freya all of a sudden.
Freya was a little disappointed. Ryan consoled her, saying, "Don't be hasty. Dani's still young. It’s good enough that she said it once."
"You’re right. I’ll go tell my mom about this."
Freya left them and went to the kitchen to look for Mrs. Lynch. "Mom, Dani called me ' Mama' just now."
When Mrs. Lynch turned her gaze to Forrest, who was having his meal in silence, her expression darkened. She suddenly asked, “Forrest, answer me truthfully. Do you not like women?"
"Cough.”
Forrest almost choked on his food. He only recovered after coughing several times. The cold outline of his face twitched.
Freya almost burst out in laughter. “That’s right, Brother. Our family is open-minded. I f you like men, you can say it out boldly. I can introduce an excellent young man to you."
Mr. Lynch let out a harrumph. "You’re mistaken. Your parents aren’t such open-minded people. I only have one son. I'm still counting on him to carry on the family line."
"It's easy to carry on the family line. It's enough as long as Brother contributes his sperm," Freya teased.
Forrest's cold gaze swept across Freya as h e gave her a warning. "Don’t talk nonsense."
