Why did I get nervous?
Every time I saw you, my heartbeat hammered irregularly in my chest, and my cheek flamed. Of course, I would be nervous!
But Freya wouldn't tell Kieran about this, instead, she gave a short laugh. "Well, I'm nervous when I see Mr. Fitzgerald. That's typical when I meet my elders."
Kieran's expression shifted from expectation to sulkiness after listening to Freya's words.
Elders…
In Freya's opinion, Kieran was that old?
Freya always messed around Seth, but she seemed to be tense and weird in front of Kieran.
Kieran was only 27 this year.
"Do you think I'm old?"
The study was abruptly filled with sudden tension. Freya breathed hard, and deep down her heart, she knew that Kieran was a dangerous man to cross.
Freya had no choice but agreed with a nod.
Freya nodded like a pecker, but she immediately denied it after figuring out what he meant.
A serious expression dawned on Kieran's attractive face.
The first reaction was Freya's most intuitive thought.
Kieran pursed his lips and stared at Freya silently. Freya realized that he must be upset about her answer. Her heart was hammering in her chest.
The dark brown in his eyes was getting deeper with his growing exasperation. Kieran would leap up from the chair and throw her out of the window at any time.
Then he might speak through his freaky smile, "Well, you ask for it!"
Freya's heart jolted. She was desperate to fix their relationship at this moment.
She laughed so hard that her mouth was cramped, "Mr. Fitzgerald, I don't think you're old. How could I be so blind? You're young and vibrant!"
Kieran's eyebrows furrow in confusion. Young and vibrant?
Kieran didn't believe her insincere comment.
At this moment, raw anger rose!
Freya's heart fluttered as Kieran was wearing a poker face in silence. She knew she was going to end up with miserableness!
Alright! Since Freya failed to make Mr. Fitzgerald happy, she changed the subject.
She tidied up the medicine cabinet while instructing Kieran in the doctor-like tone, "Mr. Fitzgerald, you have a high fever. Remember to take medicine on time. If the fever still doesn't go down, you must go to the hospital tomorrow for an injection."
"And please do not take cold showers again. You can't take a cold shower all night no matter how strong you are."
"I was drugged. I can only take a cold shower." Kieran explained to Freya as if he was a good student in front of the strict teacher.
"That's not the only way to wear off the drug effect!" Kieran could have been let Freya give him acupuncture, but Kieran kept resisting her treatment last night!
"Do you want me to fix it with another woman?" Kieran's eyes narrowed in suspicion, and a twinge of displeasure flashed across his face.
"You can if it works." Freya said truthfully, "Maybe you can try it with a man. Last night, Fabian was worried that you might disgrace him."
Freya burst into laughter as she thought of Fabian's frightened face last night. This suddenly put her at ease.
When he saw Freya's bright smile, Kieran's face shifted to a more aloof expression.
