Catherine: [Hah. Even Tom, Dick, and Harry are now messing with Freya. Tell Freya to do as she wishes. I''ll take responsibility if anything happens.]


    Shaun: [Wifey, you''re such a bad*ss for another woman. Have you ever considered my feelings?]


    Catherine replied to Shaun: [Be good.]


    Shaun replied: [My wife is awesome.]


    Chase was speechless. How did it end up a public disy of affection? Enough was enough. He even had to witness them being lovey-dovey through the screen.


    A minuteter, Catherine posted an Instagram post with the caption: [Hah, even Tom, Dick, and Harry are messing with my best friend. How infuriating.]


    Of course, she posted it on her ount and made sure everyone was blocked, except Freya and Ryan.


    When Freya was scrolling through her Instagram as she had nothing to do during mealtime, she immediatelymented: [What? Are you talking about me? Has Chase told you about it?]


    Catherine replied in an instant: [Just be brave and do it. I''ll bear the consequences for you.]


    Freya sent a touched and crying emoji.


    However, after posting thement, she noticed Ryan''s reply in thements section. [Who bullied Freya?]


    Freya almost forgot that Ryan was Catherine''s Instagram follower.


    Just as she thought about that, her phone rang. It was Ryan calling.


    She declined the call, but Ryan called again. After a few times, it raised other people''s attention at her table.


    However, Ryan was relentless. Freya had no choice but to step outside with her phone. After picking up the call, she threw a tantrum. "Ryan, do you know you''re disturbing my meal?"


    "Are you sure you''re eating and not looking at your Instagram?" Ryan said, "Who bullied you?"


    It s none-


    "It''s my f*cking business." As soon as Freya opened her mouth, Ryan knew that she was about to repeat those five words. "What happened?"


    "It''s my problem. I''m not telling you." Freya harrumphed, not realizing that she was being more arrogant around Ryan.


    "I see. If you don''t tell me, I''ll have no choice but to call your parents. I''ll tell them that I''ve been in love with their precious daughter for a long time and that she''s currently getting bullied. I''ll feel ufortable if I don''t stand up for her," Ryan said wistfully.


    "Don''t you dare." Freya could not do anything against his threat. "Ryan, when have you be so brazen?"


    Ryan said rxedly, "I have no choice. I can''t woo my girlfriend or protect the one I love if I''m not brazen."


    "Shameless." Freya was scolding him, but her tone unconsciously became softer. Even the corners of her mouth curved upward into a smile.


    "Yes, yes. I''m shameless."


    Freya gave up. "I don''t need your help. It''s just a small matter. I can handle it."


    "But you''re definitely in a bad mood. Can you tell me about it? You might feel better if you share it with m e." Ryan coaxed her with a smile. "I''m willing to be your trash can."


    "I don''t want you to be my trash can." Freya hung up after she spoke.


    When she returned to her seat, Ryan had transferred her pocket money with a message: [Be happy, Baby Freya.]


    Freya suddenly felt much better amid the noisy banquet and everyone''s strange gazes around her.
