Freya did not know whether it was Rodney’s loud voice or its firmness, but her mind went blank for a few seconds.
Ryan liked her?
No, no. This was quite impossible.
Nevertheless, Ryan usually treated Dani and her very well…
Suddenly, Freya felt a little uneasy.
Besides her, everyone else’s eyes were fixed on Rodney as well.
Old Master Snow’s expression, in particular, was extremely ghastly.
Under everyone’s gazes, Ryan remained cool and said, “I do like her, but my parents like her as well. Of course, not only do I like her, but I also sympathize with her. My mom said that the more you get along with Freya, the purer you’ll find her. Perhaps you see her as a cruel and despicable woman, but all of us don’t think so.”
“Stop beating around the bush…” Rodney sniggered impatiently. “You’re just f*cking too cowardly to admit it.”
“Rodney, don’t you think you’re despicable?”
The gentleness in Ryan’s eyes was slowly replaced with frostiness. “Today is your daughter’s 1oo -day celebration, yet you insist on making me admit in full view of everyone that I like your ex-wife. Are you trying to save your dignity, or are you hoping everyone thinks that you divorced Freya because she cheated on you and that you’re innocent? Or do you feel slightly better to think that your wife is romantically involved with another man right after you got a divorce with her? Don’t you think you’re too selfish? Do you need me to inform everyone
that you officially married Sarah the day before yesterday? “
Ryan was always gentle and smiling. Hence, it was the Snows’ first time seeing him fly into a rage.
He had a passing resemblance to Jason. Despite his young age, his angry look was very similar to that of Jason, which could fill one with fear.
