Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2114 âAlright, then. Can you go to a movie with me after your dinner?â Ryan gazed at Freya with an expression filled with anticipation. âA thriller started screening last night, and I really want to watch it.â
Freya had heard of the thriller Ryan mentioned as well. It seemed to have received many praises and was a box-office hit.
However, leaving after having dinner with Jack on a festive day like that was not very polite. What if he had arranged other activities?
âYou donât want to? Itâs okay then.â Ryan sighed disappointedly and turned to leave after seeing that Freya did not say a word.
âNo⦠Itâs not that I donât want to. You can book the tickets. I should be done with dinner by 8:00 p.m.,ââ
Freya could not help but say.
âAlright. Iâll book the tickets for the 8:30 p.m. movie. âTell me where youâre having dinner afterward, and Iâll drive over to pick you up.â Upon hearing Freyaâs words, Ryan turned his head and smiled with his eyes.
âOkay.â
Freya nodded, and only after Ryan did she feel annoyed at the fact that she would be getting into another manâs car just after having dinner with Jack. She felt like such a player.
However⦠Ryan was her godbrother in-name. Their relationship was absolutely pure.
Amidst her overthinking, Freya arrived at the company.
She received some small Christmas gifts from her colleagues. The gifts were not expensive, but it was the thoughts that counted.
When it was time to get off work, many gentlemen came to the company to pick their girlfriends up.
Shaun was no exception either. However, he brought two other adorable children, Suzie and Lucas, with him as well.
âGodmother, Merry Christmas. Weâre going to have some western food with Mom and Dad.â Suzie looked elated in a Christmas hat. â Would you like to come with us?â
âYour godmother has a date tonight.â Catherine patted Suzieâs face with a smile. After that, she asked Freya, âIs someone coming to pick you up? If not, we can give you a ride.â
Freya shook her head and got in the car without hesitation.
After she told Shaun the address of her destination, he drove to that place.
In the car, Suzie stated her opinion. â Godmother, are you going on a date with your boyfriend? I think heâs no good for not picking you up personally on Christmas. Heâs not gentlemanly at all.â
âI was the one who told him not to come,â Freya explained with a smile. It would be their first time meeting, so she did not want Jack to know about her workplace.
âDid he give up on coming because you told him not to?â Suzie harrumphed. âLook at my mom. She never allows my dad to pick her up, yet he still does it brazenly. Dad said that women are animals who say one thing but mean another.â
Freya laughed. âSuzie, you sure know a lot. Are you already dating at such a young age?â
âWhatâs the fun in puppy love? Iâd rather eat.â Suzieâs cheeks puffed up. It was so adorable that it made everyone laugh.
The atmosphere in the car was joyous throughout the journey. Even Lucas, who was usually indifferent, smiled a few times.
Freya watched them enviously. Not long ago, she, Dani, and Rodney once were a happy family as well.
Unfortunately, it did not last long. It was only temporary.
At times like that, she would feel an ache in her heart. It was not because she could not let go of Rodney. She just hated that he took no responsibility toward his child at all.
Upon arriving at her destination, Freya waved goodbye to Catherine and her family before she got down the car and walked toward the restaurant on the opposite side of the road.
