Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1393 In truth, Rodney did not know what had happened to him. When he was downstairs and the Snow family suggested that he marry her, he was not as resistant to it as before.
Maybe it was because of the child, or maybe it was because he thought that Freya was actually a good person. She would be a good wife.
Maybe he had some feelings for her.
He admitted that he might not love her now, but he would slowly learn to love her and their child. He would become a responsible man in the future.
Freya pursed her lips silently, and he became nervous. âHey, say something. Iâll get nervous if you donât say anything.â
âItâs your second time proposing. What do you have to be nervous about?â Freya spat out.
Rodney froze and suddenly blushed when he remembered how he had proposed to Sarah in the restaurant previously. âI was serious about Sarah before, but my relationship with her is a matter of the past. Itâs impossible between Sarah and me. Iâm proposing to you seriously now. Actually⦠I think that⦠youâre⦠not bad. Look, after we get married and the Snow family resolves this crisis, we can punish Patrick Jackson together. Think about it, people outside are hurling abuse at us. Patrick and Linda must be feeling very smug about it. Are you able to accept it?â
Freya gritted her teeth. Of course, she could not accept it.
âRodney, Iâm just unhappy with the fact that youâre proposing to me so casually after proposing to Sarah before. Youâre making me look like a scrap collector and Iâm collecting trash that even Sarah didnât want.â
Rodney Snow, the leftover scraps, became angry and blurted out, âYou canât say that. You were abandoned by Patrick and I was abandoned by Sarah. Look how well matched we are.â
âWhat is that supposed to mean? Are you saying that Iâm also trash?â Freya was in the middle of her pregnancy, so she was particularly sensitive.
âAhem, thatâs not it. Iâm just saying that weâve gone through the same misfortunes, â Rodney said awkwardly, âBesides, I donât think youâre trash.
Youâre exceptional and the most promising cosmetic chemist in the world. You have a great future, youâre five years younger than me, and youâre beautiful. If I marry you, Iâd be like cow dung stuck on a flower.â
Freya was originally a little angry, but she could not help but laugh at his words. âAlright, at least youâre selfâaware.â
Rodney, ââ¦..â
Yes, she had never expected him to become so humble and flatter her. He had never acted like this in front of Sarah before.
âUm⦠Lady, can you let me get up now? My knee hurts from kneeling,â Rodney asked stiffly.
âWhat did you call me?â Freya raised a thin brow. â Iâm half a decade younger than you, but you have the nerve to address me as âLadyâ? Why donât you call me âMaâamâ instead?â
Rodney was exasperated. If she became âMaâamâ before marrying him, would she become an empress after marrying him?
âAlso, I remember watching on the news back then that you knelt for a long time when you proposed to Sarah. But now youâre saying that your knee hurts after just a while? Sure enough, your heart isnât sincere enough.â Freya snorted.
Rodney was desperate. âMaâam, how long do you want me to kneel before agreeing?â
Freya smiled. âJust half an hour, then Iâll agree. â Half an hour.
The corners of Rodneyâs mouth twitched.
âWhat, are you unwilling?â Freya raised her brows.
â .. No, itâs just half an hour. Thatâs childâs play, â Rodney immediately said.
Freya glanced at him. â Say, you didnât care about the Snow familyâs reputation at all when you were with Sarah in the past, but you care about it so much now. Youâre really trying hard in order to let your uncle become prime minister.â
Rodney opened his mouth. After a moment, he said in a complicated tone, âThe main reason is thatâ¦
Iâm also responsible for this mess. Although no one is blaming me, my heart⦠still feels uncomfortable.
Our child will have to be born sooner or later. Itâs not good for her to be an illegitimate child. If we get married, at least others will know that sheâs Rodney Snowâs daughter and no one will laugh at her. â
