Chapter 324 Let Him Suffer
He whispered a sentence, cursing that guy as a gloomy spirit. Then he quickly walked up to Freya, blocking her path, and whispered, “That person is Elijah’s man. He came to Mede to recruit someone.”
Freya looked over and saw Maddox. At this moment, Jeff called out to Freya, “Jane, Mr Greyson is very sincere. How about we discuss it together?”
Ronan stared in astonishment, realizing that Elijah’s man was here to recruit Freya. This was unbelievable.
Freya told Jeff, “I’ve already said that I won’t agree, and I won’t even consider it.” After saying that, she pulled Ronan along and walked away.
Jeff had no choice either, he couldn’t force the matter. He told Maddox, “I’ve relayed your words to her, but she didn’t agree.”
Maddox felt hopeless and disappointed, but when his gaze fell upon Jeff, a glimmer reappeared in his eyes. “I think you would be a good fit too…”
Jeff immediately shook his head, “No, I can’t.”
“But…”
“There are no ‘buts’!” Jeff decisively refused.
Maddox hung his head in disappointment.
Meanwhile, Freya pulled Ronan away. Ronan looked at her, “You’ve become so fluent in English in just six months?” Listening to her speak, he couldn’t help but feel inferior.
“I was already fluent.”
“… Well, what else do you know?” asked he.
“French, German, Spanish.” Freya replied.
Ronan was genuinely impressed. “You know so many languages.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I had no choice but to learn.”
“What do you mean by ‘no choice’?” Ronan curiously asked.
Thinking about Leo Stone’s intentions and that person, her voice grew heavy, “To seduce men.”
“… Who are you trying to seduce?” Ronan asked.
Freya didn’t answer him, but instead pulled him into a restaurant.
Ronan pressed on, “It’s not Elijah, is it?”
Freya glanced at him. The look in her eyes said it all. At this moment, Ronan was nearly consumed by jealousy. Elijah, Elijah, the man who constantly cast a shadow over him! He really wanted to have a showdown with Elijah, to see who was superior.
As they sat down, Freya asked him, “What would you like to eat?”
Ronan had a lot on his mind and didn’t have the appetite to eat. He said, “Anything.”
Freya placed their order, including what she wanted to eat. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, her appetite was good. While waiting for their food, Ronan couldn’t hold back any longer.
“The child in your belly is…” asked he.
“Elijah’s,” Freya said bluntly.
He was the only man for her. And there would only ever be him. From now on, she would never fall in love with anyone else. Ronan might have known in his heart, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. Now, that glimmer finally died. He took a deep breath, “I guess I’m a masochist.” He calmed himself down and asked, “Why did you make everyone think you were dead? Why did you leave Elijah?”
That last question was the one he wanted to ask the most. Was it because she no longer loved Elijah, that she left?
“It’s not that.” Freya picked up her glass and took a sip of water.
“Then why? Was it because you were disfigured and afraid that Elijah would reject you, so you…”
Freya didn’t deny it, “I really didn’t want him to see me like this.” If she had to leave a mark in his heart, she wanted it to be a beautiful one. Monstrous scars were out of the question.
“Does he know that you’re pregnant?” Ronan asked again.
Freya looked up at him.
Ronan chuckled, “You don’t want to say, I won’t force you.”
“I don’t know,” Freya pursed her lips, “You must keep my secret.”
“That, you can count on me.” Ronan was currently at odds with Elijah, how could he possibly tell him that Freya was still alive? He wanted to keep it from him more than anyone and let him suffer.
“By the way,” Freya had an important matter to discuss with him. She took out a document from her bag and handed it to him, “Take a look.”
Ronan had no reason to doubt her, so he reached out and took it. He opened it, and then he was shocked.
“You…”
