Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2154 Two days later, Freya returned home after getting off work. When she arrived at the dining hallâs door while pushing Dani in her stroller, she heard pleasant laughter ringing inside.
âSummer, youâre so adorable.â Heidi was grinning from ear to ear.
Freyaâs footsteps halted. In that split second, Heidi saw her and waved her hand. âFreya, youâve gotten off work. Come over quickly. Let me introduce you.â
Under the bright chandelier, a sweet-looking woman was sitting beside Heidi. She looked like she was in her 2os. She was graceful, and her smile was bright when she smiled at Freya. At first glance, she was a woman who would be adored by elders. One could tell she was a polite person.
âThis is Summer. Iâve mentioned her to you before. Sheâs also your godfatherâs closest friendâs daughter. â Heidiâs voice was filled with delight. âI asked Ryan to bring Summer over for a meal.â
âHello, Freya. Nice to meet you.â Summer showed Freya an elegant and sincere smile. Then, she pouted her pink lips and said playfully to Ryan, who was sitting on the sofa, âRyan, your sister is so pretty.â
âWho said sheâs my sister?â Ryan looked as if someone had stepped on his tail. He quickly glared at Summer. âSheâs almost the same age as me, okay?â
âSheâs still older even though itâs just by a few months.â Summer covered her mouth and chuckled.
âThatâs right. Iâm two years older than you, so shouldnât you address me as âBrotherâ?â Ryan winked and made Summer blush in embarrassment.
Heidi was pleased as she watched from the side. She was worried that her son would refuse to come to his senses, but she finally saw hope. âWhen you guys were younger and our families gathered for meals, you would always call Ryan âBrotherâ when you saw him. You would call out to him so sweetly back then. However, you didnât address him that way as much after growing up. Whenever I chatted with your mom after that, weâd even joke about when we could become in-laws.â
âMom, youâre talking about this when Summerâs only here for the first time. Arenât you afraid that youâll scare her away?â Ryan teased.
âI wonât be scared away. My parents often said Aunt Heidi is friendly. Sheâs the role model for the women in Australia. Iâm here to learn plenty of things from her today.â
Summer circled Heidiâs arm, and that made Heidi very happy.
Freya found a place to sit down. She listened to them chat and suddenly felt like an extra, especially when she saw Ryan and Summer talking to each other. Sometimes when they exchanged gazes or smiled upon meeting each otherâs eyes, the intimacy between them made Freyaâs heart feel stuffy.
She was really annoyed at Ryan.
It turned out that he was getting along well with Summer. It did not seem like he disliked women at all.
If so, why did he have to kiss her as an experiment that day?
Never mind if it was an experiment, but why did he say those strange words and make her imagine things? After that, he simply brought his blind date back home in an instant.
What did he⦠take her for?
âFreya, letâs eat. Are you daydreaming?â Heidi called Freya.
Freya quickly sat at the dining table while carrying Dani.
Summer glanced at Dani, who was in Freyaâs hands. She said lovingly, âFreya, your child is so cute. I like kids quite a lot.â
âIâll carry her over and let you watch all you want if you like, â Ryan said all of a sudden.
Freyaâs body stiffened. For some reason, a wave of fury spread from her chest.
