Let me go, Mr. Hill [By Shallow South] Chapter 2173
After Aunty Celine left, Mrs. Lynch lamented. “I was quite worried. But seeing that The Lodge had arranged a
babysitter to escort you back, they must really adore you. I’m relieved.”
Freya changed the topic. “Mom, isn’t Dad back yet?”
“They will be moving the headquarters to Canberra soon, so there are many things they have to check on here in
Melbourne. Your dad is very busy,” Mrs. Lynch said and sighed with concern. “But quite a few companies have been
approaching us for collaborations after the public heard that Lynch Corporation managed to get the piece of land in
Canberra. We’ve received many new projects recently and are much busier.”
“Mom, you have to remind Dad that earning money is just secondary. At his age, his health is the most important,”
Freya said.
Mrs. Lynch glanced at her. “Your dad is trying to stand up for you. Once Lynch Corporation grows bigger, he wants
Rodney to take a good look at how the Lynch family’s daughter, whom he never cherished, has a higher net worth

Freya burst out in laughter. She was very touched. “Actually, I’m already indifferent to it”
“You are, but your dad isn’t.” Mrs. Lynch carried Dani in her arms. She got more delighted the more she looked at
Dani’s adorable face. “It’s good that Dani looks like you and not her father. Oh, I wonder when will your brother get
married? I introduced him to a girl last time, but it went down the drain again.”
Freya’s heart skipped a beat. “Didn’t you say there was a possibility it might work?”
“Yes, but your brother suddenly made things clear to that lady a few days ago.” Mrs. Lynch thought it was a pity.
“She’s such a nice lady. I don’t exactly know what your brother’s type is.”
Freya immediately thought of Jessica.
It was such a coincidence. To think Forrest dropped the idea after having that meal last time. Could something have
happened between him and Jessica?
Upon thinking that she did not manage to get any clues from Forrest the last time, she became even more eager to
know what happened.
Ryan was the one who booked the room. Perhaps he knew something.
However, she did not want to ask him about it.
She did not initiate conversations with Ryan on WhatsApp anymore. When she was bored, she would go with Mrs.
Lynch to visit her maternal grandparents’ or relatives’ house.
Within a week of returning to Melbourne, she had attended one banquet and two dinners in Mrs. Lynch’s place.
After all, the Lynch family was one of the top families in Melbourne, and they were close with the wealthy families
there. At the end of the year, many partners and friends would send them invitations for year-end company
celebrations, marriage banquets, birthdays, or babies’ one-month celebrations.
After dinner, Mrs. Lynch handed an invitation to Freya. “Adam of the Harrison family is getting married tomorrow.
You can go and have a meal in my place. Didn’t you use to have a good relationship with Chase? The one getting
married is his cousin. He will definitely be there.”
To be honest, Freya really did not want to go. The last few times she ate out, she spotted quite a few mocking
gazes, as if her divorce was a disgraceful thing.

are theirs, and you can’t seal them. It’s fine as long as you’re happy.”
“Mm. I understand, Mom.”
Freya nodded.
…
The next day, she received Ryan’s message while driving to the hotel. [Melbourne’s weather has turned cold.
Remember to layer up.]
Freya fired back: [I know how cold it is. I don’t need you to remind me.]
Ryan: [You always give up warmth for fashion.]
After seeing that message, Freya glanced at her outfit.
Melbourne was three degrees Celsius that day, but she was wearing a vintage woolen jacket. It was fine as she was
in the car, but she would surely feel cold once she went out. However, as a divorced woman, she had to make a
dazzling appearance to show people how stunning she was even though she was divorced.
Seeing that the traffic light had turned green, Freya did not reply to Ryan. When she reached the hotel, she looked
at her phone again, only to see that Ryan had transferred her some pocket money with a message: [A year-end
gift.]
