Mrs. Lynch said, "It's because she's not accustomed to the change in environment. Rodney spends the most time with her, so she probably wants her father to hold her..."
"Mom, don't say his name."
Hearing his name now made Freya angry. Even when she looked at the little bundle in her arms, she felt a little resentful. "Do you really want that *sshole Rodney? Let me tell you. He only took care of you for a while. I was the one who worked so hard to give birth t o you. You're so heartless.”
As if she understood that her Mommy was accusing her, Little Dani cried even harder.
"Why are you blaming her? She's still so young. What would she know? She'll hurt her throat crying."
Mrs. Lynch quickly carried Dani and coaxed her.
Freya sat on the bed, looking exhausted and bewildered.
She really did not know how her life ended up like this.
Under Mrs. Lynch's patient coaxing, Dani finally fell asleep.
After placing Dani in the cot, Mrs. Lynch said, "Rodney is at the door..."
"Don’t let him in." Like a firecracker that had been lit o n fire, Freya immediately exploded. "I don't want to see him ever again. What is he here for? Does he want t o take Dani away? Dream on. I gave birth to Dani, so I'll raise her."
"He didn't say he wanted to take Dani away, but... If he really tries to take her away from you, will you be able t o stop him?" Mrs. Lynch sighed. "The whole Snow family is behind him. Yes, you're the prime minister's goddaughter, but why did he acknowledge you as his goddaughter in the first place? It was because of Rodney."
Freya looked at the sleeping Dani.
Her heart ached.
She did not understand the pain of losing a child before she became a mother. Yet now, the thought of a divorce and the child going with Rodney made her feel like her heart was being torn apart.
"Mom, you should rest," Freya said in a low voice. She wanted to be left alone to calm down.
After Mrs. Lynch left, Freya did not sleep.
She missed the past.
She missed the ignorant but passionate Freya Lynch i n her adolescence.
These years, she had gone through so much that she suddenly found herself exhausted.
