Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2165 What did Ryan just say?
Did he say that he liked her?
How could this be? Did she mishear?
However, if it was all an illusion, why was his kiss so searing and deep? It was as if he wanted her to melt.
Then, Freya became so flustered that she pushed him away hard with trembling hands. âRyan, stop joking. Today isnât April Foolâs Day.â
âIâm not joking.â
Ryanâs thin lips grazed hers. He revealed his sincerity with quick breaths. âFreya, I told you before that I liked someone I shouldnât. However, it was never a guy. It was you. Iâm not interested in men at all. All along, Iâve only loved you.
âIf not, why would I treat you so well? I was angrier than anyone else to see Rodney betray you. I wanted to make you laugh more than anyone else when I saw you crying. I really wanted to k**l him when he kicked and hurt you. During this time Iâve been with you, all I want is to give you all the best things in the world.â
âNo, no⦠This isnât real.â
The more Freya listened, the more she panicked. âYou like men. There were even reporters who took pictures of you.â
âI did that intentionally. I wanted my parents to think that I like men. I wanted you to think that I like men. That way, youâd lower your guard with me, and I could treat you well comfortably. At the same time, my family will more easily accept you being together with me. After all, being together with you is better than being with men.â
Ryan cupped Freyaâs small face so that she could not avert her gaze. She could only meet his eyes.
âFreya, look at me. Iâll say it once more. I love youâ¦â
âNo. Donât say it.â
Freya pushed him away frantically like a little beast. She was panicking so badly that even her tears fell out. âItâs impossible for us to be together. Ryan, Iâm your parentsâ goddaughter, your godsister, and your cousinâs ex-wife. The whole country knows about this, hence no one will accept it. Your parents will go insane, and the Snow family members wonât accept it either.â
Ryan allowed her hands to hit his shoulders. He smiled bitterly. âIâm aware of everything you said.
Thatâs why Iâve been paving the way behind the scenes. Aside from my dadâs side, Jessica makes the decision with everything the Snow family related. No matter how much my grandpa and the others are against it, itâll be no use as long as she has no objections. As for my parents, I have made my own arrangements. I wonât put you in a difficult position. Freya, trust me. I truly want to be with youâ¦â
âYour thinking is too simple.â Freya shook her head and cut him off immediately.
âFreya, what you think is complicated has always been simple to me, hasnât it?â
Ryan wiped the tears on her face with his fingertips. âLike your divorce and you taking the blame for Eliza. The serious things to you are all small matters to me.â
Freya widened her eyes. âSo you knew I was taking the blame for Elizaâ¦â
âI knew it early on because I understand what kind of person you are. No matter how much you hate Sarah, you wouldnât kidnap and disfigure her. Of course, aside from your family, your close friends are the only other people youâll protect.â
Ryan said softly, âFreya, my love for you isnât just on a whim. I was attracted to you long ago, but you were married to Rodney and had his child at that time. When Rodney didnât treat you well back then, I tried to agitate him to give him a sense of crisis. That way, heâd treat you better. I used to congratulate you two sincerely, but he could not do it. When I saw you crying on the street, I thought I would be the one to bring you happiness in the future. I didnât want any other man to have you.â
âBut you were just saying those words to agitate Rodney. All of it was fakeâ¦â
âIf I had let you know that I like you from the start, wouldnât you have been so frightened that youâd hide and refuse my kindness?â
