Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2105 Upon hearing that, Ryan shot a look at Freya with a grin. âIâm sorry, but it might not have been possible for your mom to give birth to a younger brother like me a few months after you were born.â
This meant that he was denying it.
A female colleague who was in her 30s laughed and said, âThatâs what I said. Both of you seem to be around the same age, so how could he be your brother? Plus, both of you donât look alike.â
Freya was worried that they would misunderstand her, so she promptly explained, âActually, heââ
âLetâs go and eat.â
Before Freya could finish her sentence, Ryan directly draped his hand around Freyaâs shoulders and left.
The colleague behind her said with a sigh, â Sure enough, thereâll always be excellent men pursuing a rich and pretty woman even if sheâs divorced.â
âIsnât this good? Is she supposed to wait for her ex-husband to change his mind? Forget it. She might as well get in a relationship with a handsome young man and live freely to p**s her ex-husband off.â
âSo we donât have to sympathize with Miss Lynch at all. Some men donât know how to treasure a woman but sheâll be treasured by another man.â
ââ¦â
Meanwhile, Freya only shook off Ryanâs arm after being dragged to the car park. âWhy didnât you clarify it just now? My colleagues must think that youâre my boyfriend. I just got a divorce, so how could I have gotten a boyfriend? Sigh.â
âHow should I have clarified it?â Ryan asked with a smile. âShould I have told them that Iâm your godbrother? Everyone in Australia knows that your godbrother is the prime ministerâs son. If my identity is exposed, will they be able to face us? They mightâve gotten so nervous that they would stammer.â
âThatâs trueâ¦â
It struck Freya that she was too impulsive just now.
âDonât overthink things. With my looks, itâs your honor to take me out.â Ryan caressed her head. He lowered his head and gazed at her with a discreet smile. âA hand some man came to pick you up all of a sudden when youâve just gotten a divorce. Do you think everyone will sympathize with you? Theyâll surely admire you for being able to restart your life and live in an unrestrained manner.â
ââ¦.â
His words made Freyaâs cheeks flush a little.
Recently, she could sense how her colleagues in the laboratory had been cautiously looking at her when she was in the office. They even avoided mentioning their husbands and families during their conversations with her.
Sometimes, she had a strong urge to tell them that there was no need to do so.
It did not really matter to her.
When she recalled Rodney buying her expensive gifts every day and showing them off some time ago, however, she felt that it was all a slap in the face.
Now that she thought about it, she found it embarrassing.
âI think other peopleâs sympathy is what you need the least,â Ryan suddenly said, â Sometimes, itâs even less hurtful when people donât take pity on you.â
âExactly.â
Freya strongly agreed. âItâs merely a divorce. Why does everyone need to sympathize with me as if getting a divorce is pathetic?â
âGetting a divorce isnât pathetic. It marks the beginning of a new life. It means there are numerous paths you can choose from in the future.â
Ryan pulled open the door of the car. âLetâs go. Since Iâm not bringing Dani along, I can bring you somewhere to have fun. Weâll head home at seven-ish.â
â⦠Where are we going?â Freya had not come to her senses.
âA place that can bring you happiness.â Ryan winked at her playfully.
Freya was stunned.
After the car drove out of the car park, she was still filled with warmth. âAre you under the impression that Iâm upset because of Rodneyâs plan to hold a weddingâ¦â
Ryan did not say a word. He only darted a sharp glance at her while driving.
Freya curled up in the seat. âI was a little upset in the morning, but⦠after eating the spaghetti carbonara you ordered for me, I felt much better.â
âItâs now daylight. After you go home at night and deal with your crying child, you might tend to overthink things in the d**d of night,â Ryan said directly as he turned the steering wheel smoothly.
