Jason was speechless.
With so many relatives present today, the incident would surely reach Nathan and Heidiâs ears even though they had gone abroad.
The two of them were already averse to Rodney. Hence, this incident would only offend them even more. Ryan was their only son, and they usually pampered him a lot. Yet, Rodney heaped so much humiliation on him tonight.
After some time, Old Master Snow said, âHanding Snow Corporation to Jessica might be the best decision. Iâve gotten over it. If Rodney were to take over the company, he might screw it up. Heâs not cool-headed enough. Bear Freyaâs words in mind. Donât ever let him take Dani to Sarah. Seeing how badly my grandson has been trampled on, I donât want my granddaughter to be ruined too.â
Jason and Wendy nodded.
They could tell that Old Master Snow had completely given up on Rodney.
Even they stopped having expectations of Rodney, let alone Old Master Snow.
They would just let Rodney do whatever he wanted in the future.
As the van traveled on the road, Freya looked out the window quietly.
She realized that she would be in a bad mood whenever she met Rodney.
She had no idea how other couples ended up after they were divorced, but she could only be enemies with Rodney.
The car stopped in The Lodgeâs car park.
After she got out of the car, Ryan wheeled her into the house. Freya turned around and said to Ryan politely, âYou can go back and rest. You must be tired today. Iâll put Dani to sleep tonight. She canât possibly rely on you all the time.â
âI donât mean for Dani to rely on me all the time either. This is just for the time being. Youâll be able to put her to sleep after you recover.â
Ryanâs deep, dark eyes were fixed on her. âYou donât care about what Rodney said tonight, do you?â
Freya was at a loss for words.
Of course, she did. On her way back, she even wondered whether Ryan was interested in her.
âYouâre overthinking it.â
Ryan smirked playfully. âTry to recall how we first met.â
Freya was momentarily stunned. She could surely recall it. She met him the day Nathan and Heidi acknowledged her as their goddaughter. After they came with Ryan, she addressed them as âgodfatherâ
and âgodmotherâ. At that time, Ryan looked at her curiously while standing at the side.
Ryan said in a provoking tone, âBefore you were pregnant, you didnât even wear any makeup. You looked pale and frail. And when you got pregnant, you had a giant belly, and your face was as big as a plate. After you gave birth to Dani, you looked even worse during your confinement. With your appearance, how could I possibly have fallen in love with you? Donât overthink it.â
Freya was instantly maddened by his words. âRyan Snow, do you know how to speak nicely? Youâre the one who has a face as big as a plate. Did I look that bad? Who wouldnât get fat during pregnancy?â
âYouâre mad at me for telling you the truth. Are you only interested in hearing nice things?â Ryan mocked.
âYes. I only want to hear nice things. Although Iâm fat, my features are pronounced, and Iâm still a great beauty. Get out. I donât want to see you.â
Freya lost her temper. âFine, fine. Iâll get out.â
Ryan walked away with a helpless expression.
Only after he walked out of the villa did his handsome face sink in frustration.
If possible, he wished to tell Freya that he liked her.
He was not concerned about what his relatives would gossip about it.
However, if he said it, Freya would shun him. Then, the two of them would no longer be the same around each other anymore.
That was not what he wanted.
