Freya explained, “Orion saw a waitress who looks exactly like Luna and told me about it. I thought I didn’t have time to help him, so I just wanted to tell him to investigate and let me know once he found out. But he left before I could say anything.”
Elijah said, “You really shouldn’t worry so much. Look at how thin you’ve become. Go home and take care of yourself.”
Freya realized that her body was not as strong as before. She didn’t take good care of herself during her postpartum period, and the same goes for the previous time. Combined with her heavy worries, her health was deteriorating. If it weren’t for Linda and Elowen constantly taking care of her, she would have been completely worn out.
Elijah suddenly lifted her up. Freya was startled and instinctively held onto his neck. His sudden action caught her off guard. She stared at him, “Why are you so impulsive? We’re outside, surrounded by people. It’s not good if we’re seen like this.”
“What’s wrong with it? We’re husband and wife. You’re not feeling well, so as your husband, I should be more considerate, shouldn’t I?” Elijah carried her down the deck.
The shore was bustling with people. And here was Elijah, carrying her like this. They attracted quite a few curious glances. Freya’s face burned with embarrassment. She shyly buried her head in Elijah’s chest, pretending to be asleep. Elijah looked down at her. Her ostrich-like behavior was really amusing. Elijah carried her towards the car, and the driver quickly opened the door. He sat in the car while still holding Freya.
Freya knew she was safe now, with no one able to see her. She looked up at Elijah with a stern look, “If you do this again, I’ll be angry.”
“You won’t allow me to join you in bed?” Elijah raised an eyebrow. “You’ve already threatened me with that before.”
Freya, “…”
But soon, Freya felt relieved. Elijah had always been shameless like this, and she decided not to say anything more.
Elijah glanced at her, “Are you really angry?”
Freya pretended to be unhappy, “You’ve embarrassed me.”
Elijah, “…”
How did he make her lose face?
Other people clearly looked at them with envy, didn’t they?
Why did it become embarrassing when it came to her?
“Then in the future, I’ll let you carry me and embarrass me. Is that okay?” He said seriously.
Freya chuckled in frustration, “How can you be so shameless?”
Elijah held her in his arms and said, “I like seeing you smile.”
He was just teasing Freya. He didn’t want her to be weighed down by heavy emotions all the time. Now, Freya understood and leaned on his chest.
“My only wish now is to find our child as soon as possible, so that we can live together as a family.”
That was Elijah’s longing as well. He lost his parents at a young age. And the Silverton family was a treacherous place. It was not easy for him to grow up safely. He couldn’t even remember what warmth in a family felt like. But with Freya and their child, he could have a home.
“We will.”
…
Evan took the child back to their room, and by this time, Ronan had already woken up. He was struggling on the ground. Evan placed the child on the bed and walked over, untying the ropes on Ronan’s body. Ronan gained his freedom and immediately swung his fist towards Evan’s face, cursing, “You fucking schemed against me, you wanna die?”
Evan swiftly dodged the attack.
Ronan’s punch missed. He felt a sense of frustration and quickly threw another punch.
Evan caught his incoming fist and said, “You can’t defeat me.”
Ronan felt his dignity being trampled upon.
“If you’re brave enough, let’s fight one-on-one!” Ronan tore off the ropes from his body and stood up, ready to engage in a duel with Evan.
Evan didn’t have time to waste on him. “I don’t have the time to play with you.” He turned around and walked away.
Ronan deviously launched a surprise attack from behind.
