“Hmm?” Freya looked at him with wide eyes.
Elijah picked up a piece of food and offered it to her. “This one tastes good too, you should try it.”
Freya took the food from his plate and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly. Something felt off. She looked at Elijah cautiously. “You’re acting strange, aren’t you?”
Elijah shrugged. “You’re overthinking, just eat.”
Freya wasn’t convinced. “Are you really not hiding anything from me?”
Elijah replied confidently, “Why would I hide anything from you?” He hadn’t hidden anything from Freya, except for the fact that Zane had approached him. At the time, he was busy with work and didn’t meet Zane. Now, he realized it might be about Luna. He felt guilty, afraid that Freya would be angry if she found out he hadn’t dealt with the matter.
“Eat a little more,” he insisted, continuously putting food on Freya’s plate.
Freya’s plate was piling up like a small mountain. She sighed. Was he treating her like a pig?
“I can’t eat anymore.” Said Freya.
Elijah gently ran his fingers through her hair. “Then don’t force yourself.”
Suddenly, Freya had a thought. She put down her fork. With a serious expression, she stared at Elijah. “You didn’t, during the time I was away, get involved with another woman, did you?”
“What are you thinking?” Elijah responded with an equally serious face. “I would never touch another woman besides you.”
“Is that so?”
Freya couldn’t believe it for a second. When she was still Dr Jane in Country M, giving Elijah a massage, he made a dream. He even kissed her. If it wasn’t her at that time, he would have kissed another woman.
“Don’t you believe me?” Elijah’s expression became serious.
“I remember, you kissed Jane,” Freya reminded him, “At that time, you had no idea it was me.”
Elijah blinked his eyes, his thick lashes fluttering.
Did he?
How could he not remember at all?
“Freya, I’m not into that kind of thing, okay? You were dressed like that, with no place to kiss,” he explained.
Freya stared at him for a few seconds.
He was dreaming.
Dreams and reality are different.
Forget it, Freya told herself.
“I forgive you this time.” She tried to be magnanimous.
But Elijah wasn’t willing. “Unless you stole a kiss from me. I would not possibly kiss you like that.”
Freya sighed. It seemed like she stole a kiss while he was sleeping. Then he dreamed and held her head. Indeed, she was the one who initiated it.
“Ah, I’m full. Let’s go.” Freya intentionally changed the subject. Elijah saw through her little scheme with one glance, but he didn’t expose it. Instead, he took her away with him.
Sitting in the car, Freya fastened her seatbelt and said, “I want to go to my family’s house.”
Elijah started the car and reminded her, “Your mom is at our place.”
“I’m going to find Zane.” Said she. She knew Zane must know the whole story. Once she asked him, everything would be clear.
Elijah glanced at her. “Don’t you miss your son?”
“I do.”
Of course, she missed him. But she knew Kai was in good hands. From Orion’s words, she found out that Luna was missing, and she was worried. She could only first find out about Luna’s situation, and then go back to see Kai.
Elijah knew Freya was someone with ideas and plans. Perhaps he couldn’t change her mind. He could only go along with her.
…
Arriving at the house, Freya went to open the door, only to find the house was quiet. Probably no one was there. As she was about to close the door, they heard a loud bang that caught them off guard.
