Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1377 âForget it. Since you helped me this time, Iâll treat you to a meal,â Freya suddenly said, âThereâs a Mexican restaurant thatâs quite good downstairs. Iâll treat you to that.â
Rodney was taken aback. He was surprised. âO-Okay.â
It was about time to get off work too.
Rodney immediately closed his computer and followed her downstairs.
The Mexican restaurant was just at the adjacent building. Freya ordered a serving of quesadillas, guacamole, nachos, and some other dishes.
Rodney glanced at the menu. He could not resist saying, âThis place is a little too cheap, Iâ¦â
âWhat? Are you expecting me to treat you to expensive food?â Freya blinked her eyes. âYouâre not worth me spending more than 500 dollars.â
Rodney was speechless. âNo, I can treat you. I donât have the habit of letting women pay the bill.â
âNo, I already said Iâm treating you.â Freya shook her head.
âThen Iâll treat you to a meal next time, â Rodney said hurriedly. There was a word for that. It was to reciprocate.
Freya glanced at him with a vague smile. âRodney, donât take me as a stepping stone to enter the Snow family. Iâll go to the Snow family and discuss it with your grandpa for them to agree to let you return to the Snow family. I have the baby of the Snow family in my stomach. Theyâll surely follow my wishes. â
Rodney was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect that she would be so kind. âWhy are you helping me? Actually, my grandpa asked me to marry you so that I can marry into the Snow family. Thatâs because they hope the child can have a complete familyâ¦â
âIf the childâs parents donât love each other but force themselves to be together, the child wonât have a complete family either.â Freya shook her head.
âDonât you hate me? You even cried last time, and you were quite agitatedâ¦â Rodney said reluctantly, â I can sense that you donât like your current life. â
â I have no choice. The doctor said I might not be able to get pregnant again if I abort this child.
Moreover, itâs already been a full three months. Itâs impossible to abort it now. This is my fate.â
Freya said regretfully, âThe things in the past canât be changed, but the future is in my own hands. I donât want other people to manipulate my fate.â
âIâm sorryâ¦â Rodney gazed at her in a daze. Actually, he thought Freya was quite pitiful too.
Especially after meeting Patrick, he felt that Freya was not any better than him in terms of relationships.
âActually, your parents also hope that you can return to the Snow family. Whenever Iâm with Aunty Wendy, she looks quite sad when she mentions you. She might say that she has gotten over it and doesnât care about it anymore, but she canât deceive me.â
Freya said, âTo be honest, I hate you. However, I understand your love for Sarah. You canât control who you fall in love with. I just hope you can be more alert in the future and think more about your family who loves you. Donât hurt them again because of your selfishness. You can love someone, but it shouldnât hurt others.â
These days, maybe it was because she had been triggered by Patrick, Freya had the time to think things through.
It was pointless for her to keep hating Rodney.
Looking back at herself, had she not kept clinging to Patrick, that unworthy guy, for so many years as well?
The most pathetic thing was that Patrick only remembered her shortcomings even though she had done so much.
Freya laughed. She lifted the cup of coffee and took a huge sip.
Rodney pressed his thin lips together with mixed feelings. Freyaâs words surprised him.
It seemed like he could finally understand why the Snow family said Freya was nice.
She was really nice.
Why was he so blind back then that he abandoned the Snow family, Freya, and his child for Sarah?
He even passed off Freya, a pearl, as rubbish.
