Elijah hadn’t even started getting angry yet. Ronan grumbled as he walked over, “Freya!” He had just dealt with the unpleasant incident involving Elijah, and now he immediately came to find Freya, only to discover that she was acquainted with Elijah.
Were they teaming up to play him?! And furthermore, Freya had said that Elijah didn’t like her, so why were they together again?
“Freya, I’m telling you, you have to give me an explanation!” Ronan acted as if he had been betrayed.
Freya had no idea why Ronan was so furious with her. She tentatively asked, “What do I owe you? Why do I have to give you an explanation?”
Ronan hesitated for a moment.
Did she owe him anything?
“When you asked me to help you hide your identity from Elijah, I did it. So why did you go back on your word and get back with him? Aren’t you going back on your promises?” Ronan thought that while there was a misunderstanding between Elijah and Freya, he could win Freya’s heart, not only stealing Elijah’s woman but also taking away Elijah’s child. But the plan didn’t work out as he had hoped.
“I pursued her first, do you have a problem with that?” Elijah also got out of the car, his gaze locked fiercely onto Ronan. If Elijah knew that Ronan had known Freya’s identity in Country M and deliberately hidden it from him, it wouldn’t have been as simple as finding an ugly woman to disgust him. He would have probably taken more drastic measures, making sure Ronan would never be a man again.
Ronan thought to himself that he couldn’t back down in front of Freya. He tilted his head up and said, “Yes, she’s not yours, is she? If I want to find her, I’ll find her.”
Elijah couldn’t help but laugh at his words.
“She’s not mine, but she’s yours?” His voice was cold and sharp.
“Yes, she gave birth to your child, but how many people know that she’s your wife? Do you have a proper marriage certificate? Did you have a wedding? Did you exchange vows? Have you taken wedding photos together? Do you have a picture of the two of you on your marriage certificate?”
Ronan questioned him one by one.
Elijah’s face darkened with each of his words, and his features became as gloomy as a storm cloud brewing before a tempest. Ronan’s words struck a nerve precisely because he couldn’t refute them.
His frustration, his anger, were mostly directed at himself. It was him, who didn’t give Freya a proper identity. No wonder Ronan was being snide. It was him, who didn’t give Freya a wedding, to let everyone know that she was his wife. That was why Ronan dared to provoke him.
When Freya always said thank you to him, Elijah realized then, that the relationship between him and Freya was too ambiguous. He thought there was no need for such politeness between husband and wife. Clearly, Freya was unsure about their relationship. He urgently needed to prove, to tell everyone that Freya was his wife.
Ronan, for once, had the upper hand in front of Elijah. Seeing Elijah unable to argue back, he became even more audacious. “So, I can pursue Freya, it’s not against the law, right?”
Elijah owed Freya. But that doesn’t mean he had no temper. He sneered, “Freya has cleanliness issues, are you still pure?”
“Elijah, you’re despicable and shameless!” Ronan was like a cat with its tail stepped on, instantly furious. His image in front of Freya had been ruined by Elijah. Not only did he lose face in front of Freya, but there were also his scandalous photos on many websites back home. He became the gossip of the common people. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He really wanted to tear Elijah’s face apart. He rolled up his sleeves, preparing to fight Elijah. He couldn’t believe it, that he would always lose to Elijah. At least in a fist fight, he could win against him, right?
“Are you sure you want to fight?”
Behind Elijah, a man walked over.
