Therefore, Ryan whispered in her ear again, "It''s okay. I don''t mind."


    Freya avoided him. She really did not want to keep whispering with him in the ear like that. It was too intimate, so much that she felt like half of her brain had gone


    numb.


    As for Ryan grazing her ear just now, he might have done it identally.


    However, her reaction was a little too big. Was it because she had gotten older and that she was feeling lonely?


    It... could not be, right?


    Freya''s face flushed red, and she started spacing out. She did not pay attention to what was going on in the middle of the movie.


    When they came out of the cinema after the movie, it was already past 11:00 p.m.


    The mall was closed, so the audience who were leaving could only take the elevator downstairs. As there were many people, the small elevator was packed.


    Freya was in the corner but not squeezed because Ryan was standing before her. He put his hands against the elevator walls and maintained a distance from her.


    Then in came an obese man who shoved Ryan aside.


    Ryan was so caught off guard that his entire body pushed against Freya.


    The woman''s body was curvy, and she was stuck in his embrace like a kitten. 1 Ryan''s body almost lit up because of the fire burning inside him.


    Luckily, he tried his best to hold it in, so the person in his embrace did not notice anything weird.


    Freya''s entire face was against Ryan''s chest, and they were like a couple. As such, she started feeling ufortable all over, and heat rushed up from her feet to her head.


    When the elevator finally arrived at the parking lot, the people in the elevator left one after another.


    With that, Ryan and Freya walked out. Heined in a low voice, "I didn''t crush you, did I? The person behind me was like a mountain. He didn''t budge at all."


    "I saw him too." Freya pouted. "I almost got crushed t."


    Ryan did not say a word. He simply turned his head and looked at her slightly red, full lips. She had eaten a spicy hot dog in the cinema, so her mouth and face were red from the spice. However, they looked very seductive, making him want to kiss her.


    He had experienced many things that almost made him lose control that night.


    At that moment, Ryan, who always had incredible selfcontrol, realized that he might not be able to hold it in any longer.


    He walked toward the car and opened the trunk, where there was a bouquet of pink roses and a small gift box.


    Ryan took them out and handed them over to Freya." Merry Christmas."


    Freya was stunned. For a moment, she did not know what to do. "What... What are you doing?"


    "A Christmas gift. Didn''t you say many colleagues gave you Christmas presents today? It''d be outrageous if I didn''t give you a present when other people did." Ryan gave Freya a calm smile. "Take it. I give my family members Christmas presents every year."


    "Okay..."


    After Freya epted the gift, she felt relieved. However, she also had an indescribable feeling.


    Fine. She did find it romantic the moment she saw the present. A thought even shed across her mind. Did Ryan like her?


    In the end, she was just overthinking again.


    Ryan liked men.


    How could she forget?


    "Did you give Godmother flowers too?" Freya raised her head and asked.


    "If I were to give my mother flowers, my dad might beat me up." Ryan joked. "However, if I didn''t give you flowers, I think no one else would." 2


    "You''re such a meanie."


    Freya hit Ryan lightly with her hand, and her voice was soft. She did not realize that she was acting like a spoiled child.
