“Be cautious when interacting with others, and feel free to call me anytime if you need anything,” Freya said as she approached the café counter. She requested a piece of paper, wrote down her phone number, and handed it to Luna.
Luna glanced at her but didn’t take it. “Didn’t you say I can go home with Orion? Why should I be cautious? Isn’t it about being genuine and treating people with sincerity?”
Before Freya could say anything else, Luna had already gotten into the car and left.
She stood there, watching the car disappear into the distance. She had a feeling that Luna was angry. But she couldn’t understand why Luna would be angry. Was it because she had lost her memory and changed her personality? Freya shook her head, trying not to overthink things. She paid for her coffee and took a taxi back home.
Elowen was holding the baby, and Kai was lying on her lap, looking at his little brother. Freya walked in and noticed that Elowen was wearing a necklace around her neck. She remembered seeing her mother wearing it when she was young.
“Mom, this necklace looks very familiar to me,” Freya said as she sat down on the couch.
Elowen touched it and replied, “It’s something you found among your belongings yesterday and gave to me.”
She thought about something from a long time ago. “Your father gave me this necklace. When Zane sold the house, I thought I would never see it again. But he kept it. I used to resent your father, but now that he’s gone, everything is forgiven.”
Elowen had such a broad-minded and open perspective, which made Freya feel relieved.
During dinner, Freya spoke up at the table, “I’m going to the hospital tomorrow for surgery.”
Elijah replied, “I’ll accompany you.”
“If you have something to do, go ahead. It’s not a major surgery, and I know the doctor who will be performing it. He’s the most renowned plastic surgeon in the country. He said it’s a simple procedure for my scar.” Freya said as she chewed on a piece of beef. She also took the opportunity to wipe her son’s mouth, unaware of the change in Elijah’s expression.
Elijah pretended to be nonchalant and asked, “Is the doctor who will be operating on you a man or a woman?”
Ever since he read Freya’s diary, he had become extra sensitive.
Freya answered truthfully, “A man.”
“Is he married? Young or old?” Elijah inquired further.
Freya finally looked up at him and retorted, “Are you checking his background?”
Elijah was not amused. “Just answer me.”
Frowning, Freya thought he was being ridiculous. “He’s much younger than you.”
Elijah remained silent.
“What do you mean? Do you think I’m old?” he raised an eyebrow, his eyes narrowing.
Clearly, Elijah was displeased. Freya didn’t want to argue with him at the dinner table. She decided not to be stubborn and said, “Not old, just the right match for me.”
Only then did Elijah’s expression improve.
After finishing dinner, Freya played with Kai for a while before checking on her younger son and then heading upstairs. Just as she opened the wardrobe to get clothes for a shower, Elijah hugged her from behind and brought her to the bed. Her body sank deep into the soft sheets, and the mattress bounced a few times, making her head spin. “Elijah, are you…?”
Before she could finish her sentence, he covered her mouth with his lips. Elijah was a bit rude.
Freya struggled, “I haven’t showered yet.”
Elijah forcefully nibbled on her neck.
“Ah!”
He was really hurting her.
Freya frowned. “Be gentle.”
Was this man out of his mind?
However, Elijah didn’t ease up at all. With each movement, he exerted even more force than before.
