"You... You actually booked a room upstairs for my brother? When did you do that?" Freya stuttered. She did not dare to imagine it. Jessica had drunk wine too. She would be sending Forrest upstairs. A young man and a young woman who were ex-lovers would be alone together. Things could easily happen between them.
"When I went to the bathroom before."
Ryan rubbed his stomach and said with a sick expression, "For the sake of Forrest and Jessica’s happiness, that was my first time pouring wine for other people at the table. How are you going to thank me?"
Freya rolled her eyes at him. "Did I beg you to do it? I was tricked as well, okay? Besides, Jessica is your sister, not mine. I haven’t even blamed you for setting my brother up."
"Haha, your brother might even be thanking me in his heart.” Ryan grinned. "Didn't you feel it? Your brother's aura changed when I brought Jessica over tonight. If he didn't care at all, he would've just shaken hands nonchalantly and said 'It's been a long time' when he saw his ex-girlfriend. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn't even look at Jessica. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Freya did not drink but she felt as if she had. She was getting confused.
"To think that you were married before. Your EQ is too low." Ryan glanced at her in disdain. 1
Freya was infuriated. "So what if my EQ is low? Do you dare to look down on me?"
"I wouldn't dare, and I don’t." Ryan suppressed his laughter and shook his head. "I'm guessing it’s because your brother hates Jessica. Think about it. They were madly in love back then, yet one of them got married all of a sudden after returning home.
Could he possibly not feel hatred? But he might be hating her only because he loves her. If there were no feelings at all, where would the hatred come from?"
Freya did not say a word. She recalled when she ran into Forrest and Jessica quarreling at the Snow family’s manor back then. The words her brother uttered from his mouth were very harsh. That was most probably hatred.
