The words Rodney said were so sincere.
She really believed them.
However, all of them were lies. They were all meant to deceive her.
Had telling lies become a habit to him that even he believed in them himself?
Freya's chest felt suffocated.
She was depressed, ridiculous, angry, and sad.
She felt like a total joke.
She still could not understand why Rodney was lying t o her.
"Freya..." Ryan called out to Freya worriedly as she was silent. "Don’t worry. I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly for you—"
"No need. I might've guessed something," Freya interrupted him with a hoarse voice. "I'm fine on my own."
"Okay." Ryan could hear from her voice that she was holding back her tears. He was unhappy. "No matter what you decide, I'll always support you."
"Really?" Freya lifted her lips in a self-deprecating smile. "How will you support me? Ultimately, I'm still a n outsider in the Snow family. I may be your dad's goddaughter, but everyone knows the true reason behind him taking me in as his goddaughter."
"But I'm always on your side," Ryan said gently," Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you the truth today. If I were on Rodney’s side, I would've personally found him to teach him a lesson and tell him not to lie to you in the future. However, I think you have the right to know the truth. You can seek out the truth. If he has really disappointed you, I'll help you."
"How will you help me?" Freya could not help but ask i n confusion.
"I'll help you to fight for Dani's custody," Ryan said in a low voice.
Freya's eyes were almost wet with tears.
Why did she promise to get along with Rodney before? Actually, was it not all for Dani's sake?
