In truth, Rodney did not know what had happened to him. When he was downstairs and the Snow family suggested that he marry her, he was not as resistant t o it as before.
Maybe it was because of the child, or maybe it was because he thought that Freya was actually a good person. She would be a good wife.
Maybe he had some feelings for her.
He admitted that he might not love her now, but he would slowly learn to love her and their child. He would become a responsible man in the future.
Freya pursed her lips silently, and he became nervous. "Hey, say something. I'll get nervous if you don't say anything."
"It's your second time proposing. What do you have to be nervous about?" Freya spat out.
Rodney froze and suddenly blushed when he remembered how he had proposed to Sarah in the restaurant previously. "I was serious about Sarah before, but my relationship with her is a matter of the past. It's impossible between Sarah and me. I'm proposing to you seriously now. Actually... I think that
... you're... not bad. Look, after we get married and the Snow family resolves this crisis, we can punish Patrick Jackson together. Think about it, people outside are hurling abuse at us. Patrick and Linda must be feeling very smug about it. Are you able to accept it?"
Freya gritted her teeth. Of course, she could not accept it.
"Rodney, I'm just unhappy with the fact that you're proposing to me so casually after proposing to Sarah before. You’re making me look like a scrap collector and I'm collecting trash that even Sarah didn't want."
Rodney Snow, the leftover scraps, became angry and blurted out, "You can’t say that. You were abandoned b y Patrick and I was abandoned by Sarah. Look how well matched we are."
"What is that supposed to mean? Are you saying that I’m also trash?" Freya was in the middle of her pregnancy, so she was particularly sensitive.
"Ahem, that’s not it. I'm just saying that we’ve gone through the same misfortunes,” Rodney said awkwardly, "Besides, I don’t think you're trash. You're exceptional and the most promising cosmetic chemist in the world. You have a great future, you're five years younger than me, and you’re beautiful. If I marry you, I'd be like cow dung stuck on a flower.”
"Pfft."
