Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1915 Freya turned around, only to see Ryan dressed in a dark suit. A ray of gorgeous light shone on his elegant, handsome face. He might look gentle with a smile, but she knew that in reality, he was restrained and stoic, just like his father, Prime Minister Snow.
âI received an invitation card, so here I am. â Ryan shrugged. âWhereâs Rodney? You look unhappy without his company.â
âHeâs over there.â Freya then went quiet for a moment. âRyan, have you heard of Mr. Micheal?â
Ryan shook his head. âWhat gives?â
âCan you help me nose around on him?â After some thought, Freya said, âLast night, Rodney didnât come at all. He said that Mr. Micheal is an expert in lithium batteries, and Iâm not quite sure about it.â
âYou think heâs lying to you?â Ryan frowned. âI donât think he would.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âBased on my understanding of him, he wouldnât sink so low as to lie to you even though he speaks harshly and has a low EQ.â Ryan said, âHeâs a direct person, but he doesnât really know how to hide things.â
Deep down, Freya chuckled. She had thought the same as well.
That was why she still could not stop dwelling on it ever since Rodney lied to her.
âPerhaps Iâm overthinking it. Please help me to find out about it.â Freya pursed her lips. âI have no idea who to ask for help. Since youâre here and considered my little brother, how about you do me this favor?â
âA brother whoâs three months younger than you?â Ryan darted a helpless yet doting look at her. âYou might not feel ashamed to call me your little brother, but Iâm too shy to acknowledge it.â
Freya said dispiritedly, âThatâs too bad you were born three months later than me. Your parents were the ones who acknowledged me as their goddaughter. â
Ryan choked before laughing out loud. âFine. Iâll do you this favor and give you an answer tomorrow morning.â
âSo soon?â Freya was astonished.
âDuh. Itâs just a small matter.â Ryan shrugged. â Iâm currently in charge of immigration, so I can just check it using the computer.â
Freya was at a loss for words.
It turned out that it was such an easy task for him.
At the sight of her dumbfounded expression, Ryan could not help but burst into laughter and touched her head. âWere you dwelling on this for a long time? Some things you donât have to keep to yourself.
You can always ask for my help.â
His words warmed Freyaâs heart. Just as she was about to speak, Rodneyâs fierce criticism rang out beside her.
âRyan, what are you doing with your hand?â Rodney strode toward Ryan and slapped the latterâs hand off. With a cold tone, he said, âSheâs your sister-in-law. Donât touch her however you like.â
Ryan raised his brows, but those words made Freya uncomfortable. âWhat are you doing? Heâs your cousin.â
âEven so, he shouldnât put his hand on your head. â Rodney snorted. He was clear about Ryanâs motive. âWe have to keep boundaries with the opposite S*x.â
âAlright. Iâll be careful next time. â Ryan dropped his gaze, which hid the annoyance in his eyes.
Then, he waved his hand and took his leave first.
As Freya watched Ryan leave, she felt that Rodney was too petty. âYouâre right in saying that we have to keep boundaries with the opposite sex. But when Iâm with my biological brother or Ryan, my non-
biological little brother, weâre as clean as a whistle. Can you not make a big deal out of it? I donât know a lot of people in Canberra, but because of your behavior, Ryan and I will feel awkward when we see each other next time.â
âI didnât say both of you canât greet each other. Iâm fine as long as he doesnât touch you.â
Rodneyâs mouth twitched. âI have no choice but to be petty because I care about you.â
He almost blurted out the word âjealousâ. What else could Freya say?
After all, when men were jealous, it meant that they cared.
