Don’t you know that a woman giving a man a belt means she wants to tie him to her with it?” Catherine said helplessly.
“Can your thoughts be purer? He was the one who wanted me to give him a belt because his belt isn’t great.” Freya rolled her eyes at Catherine.
Catherine frowned. It was so obvious. She could not believe that Freya had not sensed anything at all. “Is he hinting something to you?”
“You think too much. Our relationship is very pure. Moreover, he…”
Freya’s voice stopped. She could not say that Ryan liked men. “He just treats me like a sister. I even gave him a scarf a few days ago.”
Catherine did not know what to say.
Both Ryan and Freya’s actions were too intimate, yet Freya did not seem to notice anything at all.
Catherine did not know whether Ryan was too crafty or Freya was just too dense.
“Okay. I’ll go shopping with you in the afternoon.”
It was quite easy to choose a men’s belt, and Freya paid for it. When she was pushing Dani to the garden for a walk at night, she went to Ryan’s place on the way.
Ryan had just returned. He was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, talking about formal matters.
Upon seeing that Freya had come, he quickly hung up the call.
“This belt is my gift for you. You can take a look at it.” Freya handed the bag to him.
Ryan’s eyes lit up. He immediately opened it after accepting the bag. It was a brown belt with a vintage touch to it.
“Let me try it…”
