Chapter 9 The Richest Man in Town
Freya smiled as she stroked Daniel's little head. "Alright then. Like I told you before, I had no idea who your father was at the time. Can we stop looking for him?"
"I heard that almost every child had a godfather. I will definitely find myself a godfather and have him back you up." With his hands on his hips, Daniel said.
Freya was so amused by his words that she laughed out loud. She looked him into his eyes and said, "That’s not necessary, honey. I don't need you to find a godfather for yourself because I can protect both of us."
Daniel pouted as though he still had some hope for that thought he'd had.
"I have to go to work now. What do you think about having Aunt Shannon take you out to eat?" Freya said as she led Daniel to her office.
Freya asked Shannon, "Could you take Daniel to get something to eat? He didn't have anything for lunch. I think bread is fine."
"It's my pleasure! There's a really nice cake store around here!" Shannon said to Daniel with a smile.
"Goodbye, Daniel! I'll probably be working late today, so you can eat as much as you want." Freya said as she nudged him gently.
Daniel said with a nod, "Okay, mommy. I'll bring you back some cakes."
"Great! Can't wait!" Freya said as she stroked his little head with a smile.
When Shannon and Daniel left hand in hand, Freya said, "Stay safe!"
A moment later, Linda walked into Freya's office and asked, "Freya, how's it going?"
"Actually, Mrs. Dawson and I used to be friends. She did that just to make things difficult for me." Freya replied flatly.
"What do you mean? What makes you think she's trying to make things difficult for you?" Linda asked, puzzled.
Freya exhaled deeply before saying, "She's the woman who, back then, plotted with my ex-husband to kick me out of the Dawson family. Later she married my ex-husband and became Mrs. Dawson."
