Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2136 Freya blushed. She snapped, âDonât you know how to use your hands to check the temperature?â
âMy hands are full. Even if my hands were free, they arenât clean.â Ryan smiled and shrugged his shoulders. âWhatâs wrong?â
â⦠Nothing.â
Freya glared at Ryan awkwardly.
âWhat did I do wrong?â Ryan put on an innocent expression.
â⦠Next time, can you not check my temperature⦠that way?â Freya stuttered after being in a dilemma for a while. â⦠That⦠is usually done⦠between couples only⦠Itâs too intimate.â
âYouâre saying that Rodney has checked your temperature like that before?â Ryan raised his eyebrows.
âNoâ¦â
âDid your ex-boyfriend do the same to you?â
â⦠He didnât either.â Freya suddenly felt dejected after answering.
âHow can you say that this can only be done between couples, then? You didnât even do this with your ex-husband and ex-boyfriend.â Ryan laughed. âI really had no choice just now. I was afraid youâd think my hands were d***y.â
Freya went silent.
Fine. After talking for so long, it made her seem silly.
âDo you feel better?â Ryan asked as he sliced onions.
âIâve gotten a lot better, but my throat still hurts a little.â Freya looked at his slender fingers. âThank you for last night. I didnât puke on you, right?â
âNo. The doctor said youâll recover after resting for two days if you donât have a fever. Go and have a seat. Iâm making chicken soup for you,â Ryan said gently, âItâll be done soon.â
Upon hearing his words, Freya got really hungry.
She turned around and walked out.
In less than ten minutes, Ryan brought out two bowls of chicken soup.
There was a layer of parsley scattered on top of the fragrant soup. It looked very appetizing.
âYou cook so quickly.â Freya sat down. She blew on the soup and took a sip. The chicken was aromatic and soft. âDid you make this with chicken broth?â
âNo. How could chicken broth taste so good? I made it from scratch during dawn while I was waiting for your fever to subside.â Ryan smiled. âYou can start eating first. Iâm going to brush my teeth and wash my face.â
Freya watched him from behind. Then, she glanced at the chicken soup. Her heart was full.
Ryan was too nice to her to the point she could not even describe it.
After breakfast, Ryan even prepared her medicine while she was sitting down to rest. âRest at home today. Iâm going to work. Iâll have someone send your food over in the afternoon. What do you want to eat at night? Iâll come over and cook for you.â
âYou donât have to,â Freya said quickly, âIâll just go back to the official residence in the evening after I feel better. Iâll let the sitter sleep on the first floor with Dani and Iâll sleep upstairs. I really miss Dani, and I donât feel at ease leaving her there alone.â
â ⦠Okay.â Ryan agreed after pondering for a while. âIâll pick you up after I get off work.â
âWill it disturb your work?â Freya said hesitantly.
âI get off work at 5:30 p.m. anyway.â Ryan smiled. âItâs good to do something else to divert my attention as well.â
When Freya heard that, she recalled his drunken look the night before yesterday. She also remembered the messy kiss.
She closed her eyes and took her medicine. Then, she took a sip of water. She asked with complicated feelings, âIs that⦠guy⦠the person you like?â
The atmosphere was quiet for some time.
Ryan lowered his head and looked at Freya. His gaze was deep and soft. âI have a person that I like a lot in my heart. However, Iâll face strong objections if I want to be with that person. I think no one will support us to be together. Everyone might find it absurd too.â
For some reason, Freya temporarily had difficulties breathing from Ryanâs overwhelming gaze.
She did not understand. She was not the person he liked, but why was he looking at her with such a gaze?
âWill you support me?â Ryan asked in a low voice.
