Chapter 2380
“I didn’t forget that, but-.”
“But now that I’m the prime minister’s wife, does it mean that the Lynch family is riding on your coattails?” Heidi cut in, “Nathan, I’m fully aware that you wouldn’t have married me if not for my family’s status. After all, you were with your first love at that time.”
“That’s all in the past. Why are you bringing it up?” Nathan lowered his voice helplessly. “Our child is all grown up now. Don’t you know my feelings for you by now?”
“Nathan, if my dad comes up to you and tells you that you have everything today because of the Lynch family, will you feel comfortable with that?” Heidi suddenly asked.
Nathan nodded. “Fine. My dad has indeed gone too far, but he’s old. I feel torn being caught in the middle. What’s more important now is our son’s issue.”
Ryan, who wanted to stay invisible at the side, was suddenly called up. He immediately straightened up.
Heidi glared at her son and scoffed. “Your gay affair earlier must’ve been your plan. You wanted us to assume that you’re into men so we wouldn’t suspect your relationship with Freya, right?”
“You’re quite scheming.” Nathan gnashed his teeth in anger. “You were trying to fool your mom and me, huh?”
“Dad, Mom, both of you are wrong.”
Ryan said with an aggrieved look on his face, “Indeed, that was a diversion. But it was targeted at Freya, not both of you. At that time, I wanted to make her think that I was into men. Then, she would treat me as her best friend and not suspect my motive since I treat her well as a friend. If she knew that I liked her, she definitely wouldn’t have allowed me to pursue her and would’ve quickly moved out of The Lodge.”
Nathan and Heidi were stunned. The former frowned. “Do you think I’ll buy that?”
