Let me go, Mr. Hill Novel [By Shallow South] Chapter 2169
“Well, you’ve said so much and thought about what will happen after you and Ryan get together. However, you’ve never once said that you don’t like him.”
Catherine cocked her head to the side and raised her eyebrows. “I thought you would say, ‘How can he like me? I’m his family, and I only treat him like family. I don’t have any feelings for him. How do I solve this problem?
“…”
Stunned, Freya’s pretty face flushed red.
“It’s alright. We’ve been friends for so many years. It’s nothing.” Catherine winked at Freya playfully. “Ryan is handsome, steady and smart, romantic and caring. He was even by your side, helping you when you felt utterly helpless. It’s not weird that you’re unknowingly attracted to him.”
“I… You don’t think I’m an easy person?” Freya asked embarrassedly as she bit her lip. “I just went through a divorce and gave birth to my child not long ago-“
“Stop right there. What does liking someone and being a divorcee with a child have to do with each other?” Catherine raised her hand to interrupt Freya. “Besides, didn’t Rodney get married not long after he divorced you? Who says someone has to carry and wallow in past hurt after ending a relationship that has wounded them?”
“When you… got a divorce with Shaun, you couldn’t forget about it too, didn’t you?” Freya glanced at Catherine.
“That was different. You and Rodney only got married at the beginning because of the child, and your relationship only stabilized after the child came along. However, just as you both were working to keep the marriage, Sarah appeared. From your interaction with Rodney during that period, I wouldn’t believe it if you said you fell in love with him. At most, you liked him a little. Moreover, you were tempted by his good looks, and you wanted to get along with him for Dani’s sake.”
Catherine hit the nail on the head. “Besides, if the person he had an affair with weren’t Sarah, you might not hate him this much.”
Freya thought, ‘As expected from my best friend that I’ve known for the longest time. She knows me better than I know myself.’
“Cathy, I really can’t understand why Ryan likes me.”
