Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 2055

Ryan raised his eyebrows. “Jessica, you’re so smart.”

“You too.”

Jessica gave him a weird gaze. Then, she suddenly thought of something and chuckled. “Do you know why my parents and even Grandpa hoped Rodney could marry Freya? Actually, no matter how good her character is, she’s just an elite lady from a small place. She even had embarrassing scandals before.”

“Were there other reasons for that?” Ryan showed a rare expression of curiosity.

Jessica looked outside the window of the corridor. “ Last year, my mom took Freya’s birth date to a fortune-teller, Master Roberts,  to check her fortune. My mom asked me to accompany her that day. Master Roberts said that Freya’s life would be extravagant since young and that she would be showered with love by her parents, but her love life would be bumpy. However, after overcoming that, she would have good fortune like queens in ancient times. She would also bring good luck to her

husband and family. I didn’t believe in these things, but older people do.”

When she paused for a moment, she saw Ryan smiling. “We thought  the bumpy part of Freya’s love life was referring to her previous relationship and the incident involving Thomas and Sarah. After that, Sarah left, so we thought Freya and Rodney had finally overcome all adversities. My parents felt that Rodney’s fortune was almost equivalent to a prince in ancient times, so his wife would surely have a queen’s fortune too. Thinking back, it was wrong. Freya’s fortune might be better than that… ”

“I see.”

Ryan was astonished for a moment. Then, he chuckled. “I believe in this reading. Look at how successful Rodney’s career became after he married Freya. Actually, I started liking Freya a long time ago, but I didn’t share a good enough fate with her. I showed up later, but I’ve never thought of snatching her away. After all, they already have a child. Since I love her, it’s enough seeing her happy. Unfortunately, a certain someone could not give her happiness. Therefore, I decided to make her happy myself.”

“I  think nobody will give you two their blessing. Freya might even find it absurd herself.” Jessica shook her head.
