Mrs. Lynch waved her hand. âLook. Theyâre both from the same family, but why are they worlds apart?â
âForget it. Letâs drop the subject. Itâs good that Freya has gotten a divorce.â
Mr. Lynch sighed before saying to his daughter, â Freya, donât overthink things. Perhaps itâs good that youâve divorced Rodney. If you were to notice his flaws only a few years later, you and Dani would be older already. It would be more inconvenient to divorce him then. After we buy a house in Canberra, you can move in and stay with us. We wonât force you to get married soon. When you meet someone you like next time, you can marry him. Otherwise, itâs fine to stay with us forever.â
Those words made Freyaâs eyes redden. âThanks, Dad.â
Although God made her go through a tough time in relationships, she would never collapse because she had her family backing her.
âMy poor daughter is such a nice person, yet those men donât know how to appreciate her.â
Mrs. Lynch took great pity on Freya. Then, she said to her son, âYouâd better work hard in Lynch Corporation. Iâm not expecting you to surpass Snow Corporation, but you must at least make Lynch Corporation one of the top five enterprises in the country. I want those who abandoned my daughter to notice how blind they were.â
Forrestâs mouth twitched. He forced a smile and nodded. âMom, Iâll try my best.â
âItâs all too easy for you to say that you want Lynch Corporation to be one of the top five enterprises in the country.
âLynch Corporation couldnât even make it to the top five enterprises in Melbourne when I just took over the company.â
In the next few days, Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch went to scout around for a house. The two of them were indeed decisive. On the third day, they called Freya cheerfully to tell her a piece of good news.
âFreya, weâve already bought a threeâstory villa near the seaside. Itâs quite spacious. Thereâs a swimming pool, a lawn, and a field. Also, itâs quite close to your office. Youâll be able to reach home in half an hour if you use the beltway. But you still need to wait for half a year. The renovation has just been done, and itâs still empty there. Dani canât stay there yet.â
Mrs. Lynch was extremely delighted. â Iâll return to Melbourne with your dad to handle the issue, while your brother will stay here to build the new company. As such, weâll have a house in Canberra. â
âMom, you guys⦠were too quick in deciding.â Freya sighed.
âItâs all thanks to Ryan. Weâre not familiar with this area either, so itâs difficult to find a good location.
Ryan found us a reliable agent to help us. After expressing our interest in the villa, we bought it at a discounted price since Ryan has connections with the developer. After you recover, you have to treat him to a meal.â
â⦠Alright.â
After hanging up, Freya sent Ryan a WhatsApp message. [Do you owe anyone a favor after helping my parents purchase a villa in Canberra?]
Ryan promptly replied: [Only other people owe me favors. Iâll never owe anyone a favor.]
Freya laughed. She lowered her head and replied, [Anyway, youâve helped my family a lot. Iâll treat you to a meal after I recover.]
Ryan: [You should really treat me to a meal. I almost risked my life because of you.]
Freya: [Okay. Youâve worked really hard lately, Minister Meadâ¦]
Ryan: [Iâll pick you up when youâre discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Iâll also invite your parents t o The Lodge.]
Freya: [Forget it. The procedure of entering The Lodge is troublesome. My parents said theyâre returning to Melbourne tomorrow. Iâll invite you to our new house next time.]
Ryan: [Itâll be my great honor.]
