"Alright." Freya stood up with her stiffened body. "Godmom, will you hate me if I insist on being in a rtionship with Ryan?"


    "I won''t hate you, nor will I go all out to separate you and Ryan. My arrogance and gentility don''t permit me to do such things."


    Heidi said solemnly, "I just want to let you know that it''s not possible to turn the tide o n certain things. A decision can change a lot of people''s fates. No one knows if you two will manage to ovee all adversities together or end up as an unhappy couple in the future."


    As soon as she finished speaking, she left.


    Freya sat frozen to the spot, feeling dazed.


    After some time, the door of the private room was kicked open. Ryan walked in anxiously. "Freya, I''mte. Did my mom say anything nasty?"


    Freya raised her head and stared at him nkly.


    This was the person she was currently in love with.


    He was so young, handsome, smart, and pure.


    If they carried on with their rtionship, would they manage to ovee all adversities together or end up as an unhappy couple?


    "What''s wrong? Say something. Did my mom say anything hurtful to you?" Seeing her nk and helpless expression, Ryan became so distressed that he directly pulled her from the chair and brought her into his arms.


    "No. Didn''t you tell me yesterday that your mom won''t speak harshly?" Freya forced a strained smile. "But you don''t believe it now, huh?"


    "Yes. As far as I know, my mom won''t do that." Ryan cupped her face, and a nervous look washed over his handsome face." Having said that, my mom is quite articte. I''m worried that she talked you into leaving me. I wanted toe over early in the morning, but I was tied up with work."


    Deep down, Freya smiled wryly. He knew his mother so well. "You have to work today, don''t you? Is it fine to leave just like that? Hurry up and get back to work." "I''m not going back. Something is wrong with you." Ryan stared intently at her.


    "Ryan, can you stop disregarding your work for my sake?" All Freya wanted at that moment was to be left alone. "Given that your role is to serve the nation and citizens, you should prioritize work. Rtionships shoulde second."


    "Now is the crucial period. To me, you''re my priority." Ryan held her arm, and he sounded on edge. "Don''t talk to me about serving the citizens. I''m merely a public servant, not the prime minister."


    "But if you continue to do this, you''ll let your parents down. They''ll think that I''m affecting your career." Freya pushed him." Get back to work."


    "I''m not leaving if you don''t tell me clearly what my mom told you just now."


    Ryan nted himself on a chair straight away. His shameless behavior made Freya frown tightly.


    "Godmom said... manyizens are like Rodney. Ryan, even if your parents can''t do anything to you, how will the public see us? Will they assume that we were having an affair before I got divorced just like what Rodney thought?"


    Freya looked at Ryan with trepidation. "A lot of people in this world have a terrible mindset. You''ve never experienced being falsely used despite not doing anything wrong. No matter how you argue, it''s pointless. That feeling of helplessness and despair is terrible. I don''t mind facing it for your sake, but I have parents and a child. Plus, I''m the founder of Freycatheli. If anything goes wrong, I''ll feel guilty toward Cathy and a bunch of passionate employees. When Dani grows up, she might be judged by others too."


    Ryan''s gaze grew darker. "Freya, you only promised me yesterday, yet you''re already showing distrust in me in less than a day."


    "Can you stop theizens frommenting? Can you stop the rumors about our affair from spreading? That''s an impossible task."


    Freya said with a pale face, "Others will discover it sooner orter. If things get messed up, not only will I be involved but others might also im that you seduced someone''s wife."
