Freya got into Kevin’s car. Suddenly, all of them were silent. Alice secretly glanced back at Bella, her eyes filled with guilt. If she had known that Freya would come, she would not have left the seat beside Kevin to this cheap woman.
Alvin had drunk some wine. Although he was a little dizzy, he was incredibly conscious. He also felt the strong smell of gunpowder behind him.
“You’ve been drinking, haven’t you?”
Kevin’s eyes were sharp as he stared at Alvin. Alvin nodded, “Well, I’ve drunk a little.”
“Can you drive? I’ll drive.”
“Oh, no, no, it’s okay. I am a secretary. How can I let you be the driver?”
Alvin flattered him. In fact, Bella was clear in her heart that Alvin just didn’t want to get between her and Freya. In fact, it was true. Alvin was also familiar with Freya. If he sat next to Freya, they inevitably have a conversation. But Bella also sat in the back seat too. If Alvin talked with Freya, it would be deemed that he would set oneself against Bella. It was better to be a driver than to sit next to Freya.
Kevin also didn’t want to make Bella feel embarrassed, but he couldn’t be too ruthless to Freya. After all, they had known each other for three years. Even if a stranger asked him for help on a rainy day, he wouldn’t be able to ignore him.
It was just that Alvin was too blind.
Alvin drove the car slowly, and soon it blended into the traffic coming and going. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The whole city seemed to be plunged into an underwater world. There was no sound of breathing in the car, and the breathing was still messy and irregular.
“Drive slower in case of any traffic accidents.”
“Yes.”
As soon as Kevin spoke, the red light in front of him came on and a row of cars stopped. Suddenly, Alvin lost control and slammed on the clutch with a loud thud. The car collided with the cars parked in front of him.
Ah-.
With a scream, the glass of the car crackled and shattered. Bella and Freya fell into great panic, but in the moment of danger, Kevin held Bella out of instinct.
Freya was startled. She couldn’t believe what she saw. She always thought that Kevin loved her deeply, but at the most critical moment, he protected another woman.
Alvin caused a very serious tailgating accident. The scene quickly descended into chaos. Kevin’s forehead was pierced by a small piece of glass shards. He was bleeding, but he did not care about himself. He hugged Bella asked nervously, “Bella, are you okay? Are you hurt?”
Bella shook her head palely, “No, I’m fine. Are you alright?”
Seeing the blood flowing from his forehead, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her pocket, “You’re bleeding. Your forehead is bleeding!”
“I’m fine.”
Kevin was completely oblivious to the injuries he had received, only caring about whether or not Bella was hurt, “Let me see. Are you hurt?”
Freya’s heart broke as she looked at the two of them. She finally realized a cruel reality. The man who loved her so much didn’t like her anymore.
The police arrived, and the ambulance also arrived. Alvin and Alice who were sitting in the front row were more seriously injured. And they were quickly pulled away by the ambulance. Only then did Kevin realize Freya’s existence. He turned around to ask her, “Are you injured?”
Freya looked at him coldly and replied, “I’m hurt.”
“Where?”
“Here.”
Freya pulled her shirt down, revealing the spot on her chest where his name was carved, “See, here, I am hurt.”
Bella stared at the character on her chest and slowly turned her head back.
Kevin pulled her clothes up for Freya and said in a deep voice, “Don’t do that.”
Freya shook off his hand and angrily pushed open the car door. She ran into the vast rain.
She ran to the Tranquil Sea Villa and knocked on the door of Celeste’s apartment. When Celeste opened the door, she was surprised and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Godmother…”
Freya threw herself into her arms with a wow and cried hysterically.
Celeste patted her on the back in distress and soothed, “Don’t cry. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened.”
“What should I do? Kevin doesn’t love me anymore.”
Freya’s heart tapered at the thought of the image of Kevin ignoring her.
“Change your clothes first. Then tell me what happened in detail.”
Celeste pulled Freya to the bathroom, and then she found a clean dress and handed it to her, “Take a shower first. I will make you a cup of hot coffee.”
Freya came out of the shower and sat on the sofa. Celeste handed her a cup of hot coffee, “Drink it. This is antler coffee from South America. It’s good for you to calm down.”
“Thanks.”
Freya took it with one hand, and after gently sipping it, she began to tell the story of what had just happened. She burst into tears when she said that Kevin had used his body to protect Bella at a critical moment.
“He doesn’t love me anymore. He really doesn’t love me at all. Even if he still has a little bit of love left for me, he won’t forget me sitting next to him.”
Celeste sighed, “Freya, don’t worry. I will help you get that man by hook and crook. That man must be yours.”
Celeste added in her heart, “Only if you get that man can Bella be my son’s.”
“Godmother, what’s your solution? What can you do?”
“It’s not easy to be together, but it’s easy to break a couple apart.”
“But they seem to be very close now.”
“So what? Since ancient times, no good relationship has ended well. I assure you that Kevin will return to your side.”
Celeste knew Freya when Freya had just arrived in France three years ago. Freya applied for a job in her company, and Celeste inadvertently knew that Freya was in love with Patrick’s son and that also Patrick used his means to separate the two. Therefore, Celeste recognized Freya as her goddaughter. With a common enemy, the relationship between the two was naturally extraordinary close.
Freya stayed at Celeste’s house until eleven o’clock. Conrad called, “Why aren’t you back yet?”
“My car broke down. Can you come and pick me up?”
“Where are you?”
“At the Tranquil Sea Villa.”
Conrad hung up the phone. Half an hour later, he drove the car to the Tranquil Sea Villa. Freya was already waiting at the intersection. She was no longer in a bad mood after getting reassurance and support from her godmother.
“Why are you still awake?”
“How can I sleep with peace of mind if you haven’t come back?”
Conrad thoughtfully tied her seatbelt for her. The two of them lived less than a hundred meters away from each other when they returned to China. Conrad didn’t see her car, so he called her.
“There’s no need to wait for me later. We are not in France. I won’t get lost or kidnapped.”
He didn’t say anything. He drove the car out of the Tranquil Sea Villa. The rain had stopped an hour ago. Freya pulled the window halfway open, the cold wind on her face mixed with the smell of damp rainwater.
“Didn’t you go to Mr. Jobson’s birthday banquet? Why were you here?”
Conrad asked.
“I’m in a bad mood, so I came to talk to my godmother.”
Conrad pulled over to the side of the road and got out of the car, standing in front of a huge statue of the Goddess of Vienna. His hands were rested on his hips. He was looking at the water droplets spewing out of the fountain.
“What’s wrong?”
Freya also got out of the car and stood behind him.
“I don’t like that you’re so close with Celeste.”
Conrad didn’t hide his feeling of repulsion towards Freya, “This woman’s mind is like a bottomless pit. You don’t even know what’s going on deep inside her heart.”
“Conrad, how can you say that about my godmother? Have you forgotten how she helped and cared for me like a mother during those three years in France?”
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. She takes care of you and helps you for some reason. You must be of use to her. Otherwise, with all the Chinese in France, why does she prefer to care for you alone?”
“We get along well with each other.”
“That’s no reason.”
“We have a common enemy.”
“It’s not a reason either.”
“These are all the reasons to me. What can Godmother use me for? Now Kevin doesn’t like me at all. I’m completely useless, but she’s still willing to help me. It only proves that she really treats me like her daughter.”
Conrad smiled sarcastically, “I really don’t know whether to call you stupid or simple. Do you know that Celeste’s son likes Bella?”
“Yes.”
“So if Kevin comes back to your side, who will Bella end up in the hands of?”
Freya shrugged in disbelief, “So what? Even if she has such selfish thoughts, I don’t care. All I care about is whether Kevin will come back to me.”
Conrad’s eyes flashed with surprise, “Freya, when were you so selfish?”
Many years ago, Conrad saw a young girl supporting a blind old woman crossing the road in a snowy field. At that time, she had a gentle smile on her pure face, leaving a wonderful impression in his mind. Unfortunately, when he met her for the second time, she was as his cousin’s girlfriend. He could not restrain his affection for her, but he could not be so evil as to rob her. After that, the three people got along like close family members. Although he never expressed his love to Freya, Freya always knew it.
