Ryan: [I know. That’s why I’m confused now. Don’t tell anyone else.]
Freya: [I won’t tell other people, but you can’t continue being like this.]
After that, Ryan did not reply to her anymore.
Freya stared at the ceiling in a daze. She suddenly felt like sharing that information with Catherine. However, that was Ryan’s secret. She could not speak carelessly about it.
She kept telling herself that Ryan was definitely lying to her.
However… What if it was true?
Moreover, Heidi had said that Ryan never interacted or dated girls since coming back to Australia. Freya only heard that he had dated a girl overseas for a short period. After that, she did not hear him talking about his love life anymore.
Perhaps Ryan’s sexual preferences changed during the period he lived overseas.
Freya could not sleep that night.
Even at midnight, she had yet to fall asleep. She got up and glanced at the building where Ryan lived. It was dark. He had not returned yet.
Maybe he was quietly sulking somewhere.
The next day, Ryan did not come for breakfast.
Only after asking the butler did Freya know that he returned during dawn and had not woken up yet.
Heidi let out a hmph and said, “He must be avoiding me because he doesn’t want me to nag about yesterday’s blind date.”
Nathan smiled. “Don’t be so hasty. He’s only 26 years old.”
Freya lowered her head and pretended to be looking at her phone. Half a minute later, she exclaimed, “I just saw a gossip magazine saying that a well- known celebrity might be gay.”
Heidi scooped a bowl of oatmeal. “There are many other countries where same -sex marriage is legal. It’s no big deal.”
