Freya lowered her head. All her life, she was in deep gratitude towards her adopted father, Noah Keller. Even if she had to marry Gideon to help her adopted father, she felt it was worth it.

Although it was a rocky marriage, and her husband had a lousy attitude towards her, she held no grudges.

Freya pondered briefly before she said calmly, “I understand. You just focus on watching your health. Don’t worry about me.”

“Sigh. Why didn’t your father come with you this time?”

“He… he’s caught up with work. He was unable to take leave, so he sent me over to visit you.”

The old lady sighed dejectedly. “I see.”

Freya and Gideon left the old folks’ home at noon.

Freya wanted to thank Gideon for his help earlier. However, after rehearsing a lot of lines in her head, she could not bring herself to speak the moment she looked at his cold face.

‘The man was able to smile at her warmly when they were at the old folks’ home, so why did he seem so unapproachable now?

Freya made up her mind to say something.

She looked at the man and said, “Mr. Carter, thank you for helping me today. From now on, when we have to visit Uncle Charles, I will do the same and accommodate you.”

“Uh huh,” replied Gideon patronizingly.

‘The sound of a ringtone could be heard and Freya took out her phone. She saw that it was Rebecca calling her.

She answered the phone and lowered her voice. “Yes?”

“I called to tell you someone has already settled the bill for all your grandmother’s expenses for the coming quarter and next year. You don’t have to worry about it from now on.”

“What?” Freya was stunned. “Was everything paid for?”

“Your gorgeous boyfriend did it. Freya, you should be nice to him. Not only does he look hot, but he is also rich.”

Rebecca hung up when she was done talking to Freya.

Freya went quiet.

Aminute after hanging up the phone, Freya felt she did not want to keep owing Gideon such a monetary favor, so she had to return it soon.

However, getting an advance on her salary was out of the question now.

How was she going to return him the favor?

Freya suddenly recalled the woman she encountered at the president’s office earlier called Ms. Davis.

‘Was she Gideon’s type?

Gossip around town mentioned the love of his life was lying bedridden, so then who was Ms. Davis?

She glanced sideways at Gideon. “Mr. Carter, can I ask you a question?”

‘The man did not respond.

Freya took the silence as a yes.

She continued speaking and said, “That lady this morning. Ms. Davis, right? Do you like her?”

‘The man stepped on the brake and the Rolls Royce Ghost jerked to a stop the moment she finished her sentence.

Gideon’s face instantly turned icy cold as he spoke firmly. “Get out!”

“But we aren’t there yet. Also, there is only one bus service to go back to Ocean City and it runs once a day. It is already 6:00 p.m. Look, the sky is already completely dark at 6:00 p.m this time of the year. I… am scared.”

“Do I have to repeat myself?” Gideon looked completely annoyed. He spoke without so much as turning to glance sideways at her.

Freya got anxious. She turned sideways, looked at the man, pulled his shirt without hesitation, and said pitifully, “Mr. Carter, my bad. I am sorry. I really shouldn’t have mentioned her. I shouldn’t have asked about your personal affairs. On account of my sincerity, can you forgive me? From now on, I won’t

do it again… Can you not kick me out halfway in the middle of nowhere?”
