At least now was not the time yet.
A few days later, Nathan and Heidi came back from overseas.
Both of them had gone to participate in an international meeting, and some new changes had taken place in the
international landscape.
However, Freya was not worried about those things since she had no knowledge of them.
On the day they came back, Nathan flew into a fury a t the dinner table. “Rodney is going too far. You and Freya are
just siblings, yet he unreasonably accused you guys of having an affair without considering the consequences. I
must’ve pampered him too much. He doesn’t even think with his brain now.”
Heidi furrowed her brows. Despite her old age, she was still elegant. However, her face was full of dissatisfaction. “
I heard Osher isn’t doing very well lately, and there are a lot of scandals about it.

“I won’t care about him, and he’ll have nothing to do with me from now on. He’d better not show off out there using
my name.”
Only after Nathan’s temper flared did he start eating.
Freya and Ryan kept quiet.
After dinner, Heidi gave Freya a few gifts she had brought from overseas. They chatted until 8:00 p.m., and Freya
returned to her place.
Ryan wanted to return home too. However, Heidi made him stay in the end.
The two of them faced each other. Heidi observed her son in front of her and asked suddenly, “Ryan, be honest
with me. Are you in love with Freya?”
“Mom, you believe in Rodney’s nonsense, huh?” After being momentarily stunned, Ryan smiled. “ He’ll find Freya
indecent whenever she becomes close to a man.”
“That’s good to know. After all, you and Freya aren’t related by blood, and both of you are almost of the same age.”
Heidi stopped probing into the matter. Instead, she reminded him, “In fact, Freya is a good woman, and
I quite like her too. If she had married someone unrelated to the Snow family instead of Rodney, I wouldn’t object to
you getting together with her even if she was divorced. When it comes to relationships, it’s up to you. I’ll never
force you to get a well-matched marriage. But since she was married to your cousin and we’ve acknowledged her
as our goddaughter, you can never be with her.”
“You’re overthinking things.”
A vague smile spread across Ryan’s face. He understood his mother’s thoughts.
Now that he was not capable enough, he did not want to argue shamefacedly. There was no need for it as it might
hurt Freya in the end.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing how cool her son was, Heidi sighed in relief.
“Ryan, your dad is the prime minister, so our words and actions will be the model in Australia. As the prime
minister’s son, you need to be careful with your words during his time in office.”
Heidi said helplessly, “You’re not young either. You should find time to go on a blind date. You must get along with
other women apart from Freya.”
“Mom, you’re exaggerating things. My workplace is filled with women. Plus, I don’t want to go on a blind date
because those women will pester me after each session. It’s annoying.”
Ryan turned her down impatiently.
Heidi was speechless. “They only pester you because you’re brilliant.”
“That’s that.” Heidi was resolute. “You may go back and sleep now.”
With that, Ryan turned around and left. Hah. He was fine with going on a blind date.
However, he would not be interested in any of them.
Even so, he could not turn Heidi down, or she would suspect that he was interested in Freya.
How annoying.
Which dumb*ss in the Snow family made his parents acknowledge Freya as their goddaughter?
