Ryan pressed his lips together and did not say a word as if he was silently admitting it.


    Freya forced a smile. "I''ll congratte you ahead of time, then. It looks like I have to prepare a present soon..."


    "Do you wish for me to get married?" Ryan pulled her and stared into her eyes.


    Freya brushed his hand away and continued walking with her head lowered. She replied casually, "I''m not the one who''s getting married. It''s your own affairs. However, Godmother asked me to advise you. You can only remove the negative news outside through marriage. Godfather has given his orders as well. If you keep dragging things out and not get a girlfriend, he''ll think that you still can''t forget about that man. By that time, it''s your career that''ll be damaged.


    "You have to understand that it''s not certain Godfather can be re-elected as prime minister. Therefore, he can only help you for these few years. If you don''t grab this opportunity, it''ll be hard for you to advance in the future. This is what Godmother told mest night."


    "Do I look like someone who has to rely on my parents to achieve greater heights?" Ryan''s voice turned cold.


    His usually gentle face was obviously unhappy. "Am I that ipetent in your heart?"


    Freya was stunned.


    On a winter morning where the sun was shining brightly, things were disastrous here.


    "That''s not what I mean. I''m clear of your abilities. I just think we can take some shortcuts sometimes. With the help of our parents, we can avoid many twists and turns in life."


    Freya shrugged self-deprecatingly. "Maybe I should just mind my own business, but Godmother told me to persuade you. Forget it. I won''t meddle in your matters anymore."


    She turned around to leave after she spoke. She did feel aggrieved in her heart. She was just advising Ryan kindly. Why was his tone toward her so cold?


    Heidi had told Freya to advise him, but he did not like i t. Sometimes, Freya was troubled being stuck in the middle.


    Ryan gazed at her angry silhouette from behind. He wanted to say something else, but the dining hall was in front. He pressed his lips together and chose to keep silent.


    Throughout the entire breakfast, Freya was quiet. On the other hand, Nathan and Heidi would ask Ryan about yesterday''s blind date from time to time.


    Freya simply took a few bites and finished her breakfast. She went to thepany early.


    When she arrived at thepany, she gave Forrest a call. "Brother, when will our family''s vi''s renovation be done?" 1


    "I''m already urging the workers to speed up on it," Forrest said, "But such a huge courtyard and house can''t be done instantly. Besides, it has to be safe for Dani to live in after the renovation. We have to leave it empty for a few months, so it''ll only be ready earliest by May next year."


    It meant that Freya had to stay in the official residence for five more months. She was depressed.


    "What happened?" Forrest asked, "Is it ufortable staying in the official residence? Did the Snow family mistreat you again?"


    "No. My godparents are nice to me. They''re nice to


    Dani too."


    Freya stammered, "It''s just not convenient staying in the official residence. For example, you guys have to go through strict registration and procedures toe in to meet me. Moreover... Moreover, Ryan''s getting married next year. It''ll be ufortable when his newlywed bride moves in."


    Forrest thought about it for a while. He said, "Freya, you can move and live with me, but have you


    considered that the prime minister and the others will overthink it if you suddenly move out despite them treating you well? Besides, I''m always on business trips. Dani and the sitter will be at home. What if Rodneyes and snatches Dani away? I won''t be able to be on guard 24/7 to protect Dani. As for Dad and Mom, they''re busy handling some trivialpany matters in Melbourne. They can''te over for now."


    Freya went silent. Yes, she did have those worries as well. Therefore, she kept staying in the official residence even after her divorce.


    "The official residence is big and safe. Dani can live free of worries there," Forrest kept persuading her. "We''ll live with Dani in the future. There''s no need to rush things. As for Ryan''s marriage, I don''t think they''ll get married right after New Year''s. They have to make preparations for a few months at least. When the bride moves in, you can definitely move into our family''s vi too." "Okay." Freya had no other excuses to refute him.
