The large living room suddenly fell into an eerie silence. I didn't pay attention to Hendrix until I could no longer see Ian. Ian wanted to say something just now, but Hendrix had stopped Ian. Was there anything that he couldn't let me know?
I said, "Hend..."
"Mom!"
I was about to ask what happened when I heard a light voice from the door. I turned around and realized that it was Freya who had sent Anne back.
It had been a long time since I last saw her, and I really missed her. I brought her to the back garden with Freya, and forgot about asking Hendrix.
Anne looked more like Monique. She was filled with infinite energy. After playing for more than an hour, Freya and I could only sit on the bench and watch her run back and forth.
"It's so nice seeing Anne like this. When will Oliver grow up to her age..." Freya sighed with great emotion, as if she was in a bad mood.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"
I asked.
"It's the same old problem." Freya rolled her eyes. "When three generations live together, we have to be careful, especially towards Zachary's mother, who has become more and more difficult to live with. There are three nannies at home, yet she forces me to get up early to make breakfast for Zachary. I haven't done these at all before! Besides, if I'd done all these, why do I need a nanny?"
Freya had the support of the Moore family. She did not have to worry even if she planned to just enjoy herself for the rest of her life. Furthermore, she had the insight to invest her money. Every month, she would be able to earn a lot, and Zachary's parents might not have even known that. They probably assumed that she was just a housewife, and pitied their son for working so hard outside. That was why they wanted Freya to be a good housewife and mother.
I didn't know how to respond, and tried to give her some ideas. "Zachary didn't speak up for you?"
