"Don''t you know that a woman giving a man a belt means she wants to tie him to her with it?" Catherine said helplessly.


    "Can your thoughts be purer? He was the one who wanted me to give him a belt because his belt isn''t great." Freya rolled her eyes at Catherine.


    Catherine frowned. It was so obvious. She could not believe that Freya had not sensed anything at all. "Is h e hinting something to you?"


    "You think too much. Our rtionship is very pure. Moreover, he..."


    Freya''s voice stopped. She could not say that Ryan liked men. "He just treats me like a sister. I even gave him a scarf a few days ago." si n


    Catherine did not know what to say.


    Both Ryan and Freya''s actions were too intimate, yet Freya did not seem to notice anything at all.


    Catherine did not know whether Ryan was too crafty o r Freya was just too dense.

    "Okay. I''ll go shopping with you in the afternoon."


    It was quite easy to choose a men''s belt, and Freya


    paid for it. When she was pushing Dani to the garden for a walk at night, she went to Ryan''s ce on the way.


    Ryan had just returned. He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, talking about formal matters.


    Upon seeing that Freya hade, he quickly hung up the call.


    "This belt is my gift for you. You can take a look at it." Freya handed the bag to him.


    Ryan''s eyes lit up. He immediately opened it after epting the bag. It was a brown belt with a vintage touch to it.


    "Let me try it..."


    He then took his jacket off, revealing the shirt inside. His hands removed his old belt quickly and changed into the new one.


    Once Ryan had speedily put on his belt, Freya noticed his fit waistline. There was no excess b on his body.


    It was only a thousand-dor belt, but it looked like a branded belt when matched with his body and pants after he put it on.


    "Thank you. I like it a lot."


    Ryan grinned.


    "Of course. I''ve always had good taste." Freya was happy too. After all, it was satisfying to see other


    people liking the presents she gave.


    Moreover, she noticed that the scarf she gave Ryanst time was on his neck. Now, he had also put on the belt she gave him.


    A strange, indescribable feeling welled up in her, especially when Catherine''s words in the morning shed across her mind.


    Freya''s red lips moved reluctantly. "You..."


    Ryan''s phone rang again, to which he picked up his phone and nced at her helplessly. "I have quite a lot of work..."


    "You can go ahead. I''m taking Dani to resume our walk." Freya realized that she was about to ask an absurd question just now, so she quickly pushed Dani away and left.


    Ryan did not ask her to stay either.


    As Freya left, she turned around and saw him giving instructions about work with a stern face.


    On his waist, the belt that she gave him was particrly eye-catching.


    The next day, Freya noticed that Ryan was wearing the belt that she had gifted


    him when she went to the dining area for breakfast. Although his clothes covered some parts of it, it could still be seen vaguely.


    She secretly nced at him and saw him talking to


    Heidi with a smile.


    New Year''s Day wasing, so many things were going on in the prime minister''s office. Ryan and Nathan were busy all day outside. Even Freya had to attend some banquets with Heidi sometimes.


    However, a scandal about the prime minister''s office broke out before New Year''s Day.
