âAlright. I was wrong. I shouldnât have joked about you having big boobs and no brain.â
Ryan crouched beside Freya. He spoke to her while staring at Dani, âAlthough youâre usually clumsy, youâre quite smart when it comes to your job. Look, youâve developed so many bottles and tubs of things. I wouldnât be able to do it if it were me. I admired researchers like you the most when I was young.â
Freyaâs lips curved into a smile at the praise. However, she quickly suppressed it. âIâm not a researcher at all. I just deal with cosmetics.â
âWhatâs wrong with cosmetics? It can make everyone prettier. Wow, if it werenât for remarkable researchers like you, thereâd be many weather- beaten faces in this world. Itâs you people who make the world more beautiful.â
Ryan suddenly turned his head around, and his dark eyes blinked playfully at Freya.
When Freya met his eyes, she unconsciously raised her hand and slapped his shoulder lightly. âYouâre exaggerating.â
âIâm not exaggerating. I respect each occupation and industry.â
After Rodney spoke, he glanced at the watch on his wrist. âI have to go to the main courtyard to meet a guest in my dadâs stead. Iâll come over when Dani is about to go to bed tonight. By the way, Iâve made an appointment with the photoshoot company. Weâll take Dani to her 1oo-day photoshoot this Saturday.â
Freya was taken aback. âIf youâre busyâ¦â
âItâs okay.â Ryan smiled before his silhouette disappeared amid the street lights outside.
Freya turned around and looked at her daughter. Dani was almost 1oo days old.
Not only did Freya think of it, but the Snow family members did too.
The next day, Wendy mentioned it when she came over to visit Freya. âYour grandpa asked if we should hold a banquet on Daniâs birthdayâ¦â
Freya shook her head and refused once she heard it. âNo need. Rodney and I are divorced. If we hold a 1oo -day banquet for Dani at this time, the guests might feel that itâs ironic. Thereâs no need to do it.â
Wendy sighed. âYou do have a point there. In that case, letâs have a meal at the Snow familyâs manor with a few relatives. Your grandpa hasnât seen Dani in a long time too. He misses her a lot. Donât worry.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, we didnât inform Rodney. Anyhowâ¦â
âIn fact, itâs not that he canât meet Dani.â Freya interrupted her. âAfter all, heâs still Daniâs biological father by law, so I canât stop him from seeing his daughter. However, I wonât allow it if he wants to take my daughter out alone. Itâs not that I donâ t want him and Dani to bond. Iâm just afraid that heâll take her to meet Sarah. Although his words of assurance are well-spoken, I wonât believe him.â
Wendy nodded. âFreya, I can see that youâre a reasonable girl through your thinking. Itâs too badâ¦
Forget it. Rodney didnât know how to cherish you, and there is nothing I can do about that either. I understand your worries.â
Ever since Wendy knew that Rodney had gotten Sarah pregnant, she did not believe her sonâs words either.
Besides, the recent power struggle between the three of her children had made her mentally exhausted. In the end, she discussed it with Jason. Since their children had grown up, they did not want to care about that nonsense anymore.
If they meddled too much, more people would end up getting involved.
Rodney could marry whoever he wanted to.
However, they would never allow Rodney to enter the Snow familyâs manor with Sarah.
âBy the way, should we take some portrait photos for Dani? Iâve seen other childrenâ¦â
âDani took the pictures yesterday.â
Freya lied. If Wendy were to know that Dani would be taking the photos the day after tomorrow, she would definitely want to come along as well.
However, Wendyâs back had not recovered yet, so she did not want to trouble Wendy. Taking photos was a tiring job.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â Wendy complained.
âI knew that your back wasnât feeling well, so I didnât inform you.â
