"Rodney, Freya didn''t want to pick up your call, so she told me to do it."


    Ryan exined gently, "She''s putting Dani to bed. If you want to see Dani, you can pay The Lodge a visit anytime during the day."


    "She''s putting Dani to bed, but why are you there?" Like a jealous husband, Rodney warned Ryan coldly," Ryan, what are your intentions?"


    "Both of you are divorced," Ryan reminded him appropriately. He did not want to argue with Rodney as he knew it was pointless.


    "Even if we''ve gotten a divorce, she''s still my child''s mother." There was excruciating pain in Rodney''s chest, and he said furiously, "Stay away from her."


    "Rodney, it''ste. Since you have the time to control your ex-wife, why don''t you spend some time controlling your current wife? I think that would be better." With that, Ryan ended the call.


    In less than two seconds, Rodney called again.


    Ryan frowned. Was Rodney out of his mind tonight? The fuss was endless.


    In truth, he admired Rodney when he was young.


    However, he was beginning to look down on Rodney these days. Rodney chose this path on his own. He just held a grand wedding with Sarah a few days ago, yet he was calling his ex-wife now.


    Was he not having a roving eye?


    He was rash and had no sense of responsibility at all.


    Ryan blocked Rodney''s number straight away. 2


    When he returned to the bedroom, Dani had already fallen asleep with the milk bottle still in her mouth.


    As soon as Freya saw him, she handed the milk bottle t 0 him. Only after she gently carried Dani to the bed did she ask softly, "Why did Rodney call me?"


    "I have no idea. When he heard my voice, he criticized me for staying with you at such ate hour and told me to leave." Ryan handed the phone to her. "Even after I hung up, he wouldn''t stop calling. I was worried he''d disturb you, so I blocked his number for now."


    "Is he out of his mind?" Frey said with disgust, "He used to stay the night with Sarah and found it totally appropriate. But now that you''re with me here at 9:00 p.m., he thinks it''s inappropriate. What double standard is this?"


    "This goes to show that something must be going on when a man and a woman are togetherte at night and aren''t willing to return to their rooms."


    Then, Ryanughed and hugged her intimately from behind. The heater in the house was turned on. The woman in his arms was wearing a pink woolen pajama shirt. Her face was bare and clean, her skin was glowing, and she also had a fresh after-shower scent.


    He lowered his head and kissed her face in spite of himself.


    Freya''s pretty face turned red.


    They were in her room. Plus, it was already 10:00 p.m. As the abrupt burning sensation rose in him, Ryan could not help but have butterflies in his stomach.


    All of a sudden, footsteps sounded outside the room. Since the door was not shut, Freya hurriedly pushed Ryan away.


    "Miss Lynch, has Dani fallen asleep?"


    It was Aunty Loretta who came in.


    "She has just fallen asleep." Ryan quickly covered his mouth and yawned. "This kid was really fussy tonight. She insisted on having me y with her and didn''t want her mom to y with her at all. She finally fell asleep after she got tired of ying."


    "Dani is very fond of you, Young Master," Aunty Loretta said with a grin. "You''re the man that Dani is closest to. Although she''s too young to know what a father is, she has subconsciously taken you as someone important." "She has. Aunty Loretta, please sanitize the milk


    bottle. I''m going to bed first."


    Ryan handed the milk bottle to Aunty Loretta. Then, he turned around and winked


    at Freya before leaving.


    Once the house fell silent, Freya let out a deepugh. " Drama king." 2
