Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2118 Freya was taken aback. Then, she realized something. âHow did you know that my dinner has ended?â
She looked around instinctively.
Ryan explained, âIâm parked near the restaurant where you were having dinner, and I saw you coming out. Get down. Iâll come over to pick you upâ¦â
âIâve already got out of the car. Iâm ahead, where the cars are turning.â
âWait for me.â
Freya waited there for less than five minutes when Ryan drove his Audi in front of her. The passenger seatâs window was open, revealing a handsome face. âGet in.â
After Freya got on, she glanced at the half- finished McDonaldâs on the dashboard and the laptop at the backseat. She was astonished. â This is your dinnerâ¦?â
âMm. I worked extra hours until 7:00 p.m., so I just drove here.â
Ryan smiled nonchalantly. âWhatâs wrong with burgers? I ate them a lot when I was studying abroad.
Theyâre convenient and quick. Besides, todayâs a festive holiday. There are couples everywhere on the streets. Am I not making myself suffer if I have dinner by myself?â
After he spoke, he glanced at Freya helplessly. âI donât like other people giving me pitiful gazes.â
Freya understood what he meant.
She hated things like Valentineâs Day, New Yearâs Eve, and Christmas when she was single. Those celebrations would only make her feel alone.
However, she felt inexplicably guilty to hear those words from Ryan.
It was as if she had abandoned Ryan first, and she felt bad about it.
âActually⦠I didnât have my fill just now. Should we go and get some more food?â Freya looked outside the window. âThat restaurant. How does mac and cheese sound?â
ââ¦Okay.â
Ryanâs lips curved into a grin, and he found a place to park his car.
The mac and cheese store was small. However, it was crowded since it was a holiday. There was even a queue.
Freya went to grab a seat. Not long after, Jack sent her a message: [Remember to send me a message when you get home. Donât worry. I didnât take your ex-husbandâs words to heart. Iâll see with my own eyes whether youâre a good woman or not.]
[Thank you.]
After Freya replied, Ryan came over with two bowls of mac and cheese. He glanced at her phone and then gave her a spoon. âWell, how did the blind date go? Didnât you say dinner might only end at 8:00 p.m.? Was it unpleasant?â
âWe met Rodney and Sarah Rodney said some harsh words in front of Jack that embarrassed me,â
Freya complained in annoyance. âDid he have to do that? Weâre divorced. Iâve even given him a child. I just want to start a new life, yet he looked like he wouldnât stop until he destroys my reputation.â
âHe despises you because of Sarahâs incident.â
Ryan mixed the mac and cheese and said gently, âDonât overthink. If Jack cares about something like that, it means that heâs not worth you getting to know him better.â
âJack doesnât mind it. He just sent me a message to explain,â Freya said while lowering her head.
âActually, heâs not badâ¦â
He just did not make her heart flutter. Although they had common topics to talk about and the atmosphere was not awkward, he did not step up to defend her when she was quarreling with Rodney.
However, it was understandable. They had only met for the first time.
Nevertheless, if Ryan were there in that situation, he would never allow the bystanders to look at her differently.
