At least now was not the time yet.
A few days later, Nathan and Heidi came back from overseas.
Both of them had gone to participate in an international meeting, and some new changes had taken place in the international landscape.
However, Freya was not worried about those things since she had no knowledge of them.
On the day they came back, Nathan flew into a fury at the dinner table. "Rodney is going too far. You and Freya are just siblings, yet he unreasonably accused you guys of having an affair without considering the consequences. I must’ve pampered him too much. He doesn’t even think with his brain now."
Heidi furrowed her brows. Despite her old age, she was still elegant. However, her face was full of dissatisfaction. "I heard Osher isn’t doing very well lately, and there are a lot of scandals about it. Having said that, let’s not be bothered about his affairs anymore.’’
"I won't care about him, and he'll have nothing to do with me from now on. He'd better not show off out
there using my name."
Only after Nathan's temper flared did he start eating.
Freya and Ryan kept quiet.
After dinner, Heidi gave Freya a few gifts she had brought from overseas. They chatted until 8:00 p.m., and Freya returned to her place.
Ryan wanted to return home too. However, Heidi made him stay in the end.
The two of them faced each other. Heidi observed her son in front of her and asked suddenly, "Ryan, be honest with me. Are you in love with Freya?"
"Mom, you believe in Rodney’s nonsense, huh?" After being momentarily stunned, Ryan smiled. "He'll find Freya indecent whenever she becomes close to a man."
"That’s good to know. After all, you and Freya aren't related by blood, and both of you are almost of the same age."
Heidi stopped probing into the matter. Instead, she reminded him, "In fact, Freya is a good woman, and I quite like her too. If she had married someone unrelated to the Snow family instead of Rodney, I wouldn’t object to you getting together with her even i f she was divorced. When it comes to relationships, it’s up to you. I’ll never force you to get a well-matched marriage. But since she was married to your cousin and we've acknowledged her as our goddaughter, you can never be with her."
