At least now was not the time yet.


    A few dayster, Nathan and Heidi came back from overseas.


    Both of them had gone to participate in an international meeting, and some new changes had taken ce in the internationalndscape.


    However, Freya was not worried about those things since she had no knowledge of them.


    On the day they came back, Nathan flew into a fury at the dinner table. "Rodney is going too far. You and Freya are just siblings, yet he unreasonably used you guys of having an affair without considering the consequences. I must''ve pampered him too much. He doesn''t even think with his brain now."


    Heidi furrowed her brows. Despite her old age, she was still elegant. However, her face was full of dissatisfaction. "I heard Osher isn''t doing very welltely, and there are a lot of scandals about it. Having said that, let''s not be bothered about his affairs anymore."


    "I won''t care about him, and he''ll have nothing to do with me from now on. He''d better not show off out


    there using my name."


    Only after Nathan''s temper red did he start eating.


    Freya and Ryan kept quiet.


    After dinner, Heidi gave Freya a few gifts she had brought from overseas. They chatted until 8:00 p.m., and Freya returned to her ce.


    Ryan wanted to return home too. However, Heidi made him stay in the end.


    The two of them faced each other. Heidi observed her son in front of her and asked suddenly, "Ryan, be honest with me. Are you in love with Freya?"


    "Mom, you believe in Rodney''s nonsense, huh?" After being momentarily stunned, Ryan smiled. "He''ll find Freya indecent whenever she bes close to a man."


    "That''s good to know. After all, you and Freya aren''t rted by blood, and both of you are almost of the same age."


    Heidi stopped probing into the matter. Instead, she reminded him, "In fact, Freya is a good woman, and I quite like her too. If she had married someone unrted to the Snow family instead of Rodney, I wouldn''t object to you getting together with her even if she was divorced. When ites to rtionships, it''s up to you. I''ll never force you to get a well-matched marriage. But since she was married to your cousin and we''ve acknowledged her as our goddaughter, you can never be with her."


    "You''re overthinking things."


    A vague smile spread across Ryan''s face.


    He understood his mother''s thoughts.


    Now that he was not capable enough, he did not want to argue shamefacedly. There was no need for it as it might hurt Freya in the end.


    Seeing how cool her son was, Heidi sighed in relief.


    "Ryan, your dad is the prime minister, so our words and actions will be the model in Australia. As the prime minister''s son, you need to be careful with your words during his time in office."


    Heidi said helplessly, "You''re not young either. You should find time to go on a blind date. You must get along with other women apart from Freya."


    "Mom, you''re exaggerating things. My workce is filled with women. Plus, I don''t want to go on a blind date because those women will pester me after each session. It''s annoying."


    Ryan turned her down impatiently.


    Heidi was speechless. "They only pester you because you''re brilliant."


    "That''s that." Heidi was resolute. "You may go back and sleep now."


    With that, Ryan turned around and left.


    Hah. He was fine with going on a blind date.


    However, he would not be interested in any of them.


    Even so, he could not turn Heidi down, or she would suspect that he was interested in Freya.


    How annoying.


    Which dumb*ss in the Snow family made his parents acknowledge Freya as their goddaughter?
