"Are youforting me?" Freya smiled wryly.


    "Humans always need a little hope for the future." Catherine smiled. "If you really think about it, you two have already slept together. He''s good-looking and has a good figure..."


    "He''s not bad. He can be quite flirty too. He wears pink underwear." Freya could not help but spit out.


    "Ahem. You even saw him in his..." Catherine''s tone became ambiguous.


    "I saw it identally, okay? It''s not what you think," Freya hurriedly exined.


    "I know. After all, you two have slept together before," Catherine said with an understanding tone.


    Freya blushed. There was no way to clear her name. "I did sleep with him, but I didn''t take a proper look at him before..."


    "Does that mean you''ve been looking at him seriously recently?"


    "Catherine..." Freya gnashed her teeth. She did not want to talk to Catherine anymore.


    "Okay, I''m just kidding." Catherineughed. "Freya, no matter what you do, I''ll respect your decision. Just


    remember that you have to protect your own heart. If you do that, no one will be able to hurt you."


    "It''s not that easy to protect the heart," Freya muttered, "You didn''t protect your heart when you married Shaun before either."


    "Yeah, but even if you can''t do it, you have to remember that women should love themselves a little more," Catherine said.


    "Yeah, I know."


    Freya nodded. For the kind of dedication and love she once gave to Patrick, once was enough.


    In this world, the only person who would never hurt her was herself.


    Before long, there was a knock on the door from outside.


    Her heart thumped.


    Frankly speaking, she did not want to see the Snow family now.


    It was because it would make her feel stressed and guilty.


    After hesitating for a few seconds, she went over and opened the door.


    What she saw was Rodney''s beautiful face. At that moment, there was aplicated look on his face." Can Ie in and talk to you?" "Sure." Freya turned and walked in.


    Rodney closed the door, and the room was eerily quiet for a while.


    He took out a ring box and opened it. He knelt on one knee before revealing a dazzling diamond ring inside. "I hope you can marry me. I know I was very bad before and made many mistakes. Maybe in your eyes and in the eyes of others, I have no sense of responsibility. I even did things to hurt you for Sarah. But give me a chance. Let me take care of you and our child."


    Freya was stupefied.


    A proposal?


    She never expected Rodney to propose to her.


    After all, they had spent more time quarreling and fighting than peacefully living together.


    Furthermore, he did not like her. He was only acting like this for the sake of the Snow family''s future.


    "Will you... marry me?" Rodney looked at her apprehensively.
