Chapter 94 It''s Her Treat
Chapter 94 It''s Her Treat
Freya walked out of the building and waited until her colleagues were all gone before slipping into the car.
As if she were doing something sneaky.
Austin, sitting inside the car, saw everything she did. As she settled in, he frowned and asked, "What''s the matter? Is my car not luxurious enough for
you? Are you too embarrassed to sit in here?"
Freya turned to look at him and replied, "Why do you always twist my intentions? It''s because your car is too extravagant that I hesitated to get in
Don''t you realize that my reputation has suffered in thepany because of you?”
"Oh, enlighten me. How have I tarnished your reputation?” Austin asked while elegantly turning the steering wheel and driving away.
"Last time I overheard some employees gossiping in the restroom, saying that I was trying to seduce wealthy men though I have a kid. Don’t you think
that will smear my name?" Freya said frustratedly. She didn''t want to be the subject of rumors or being regarded as a promiscuous woman.
"Well then, it seems I must pay a visit to yourpany and rify these rumors”
"And how do you n to do this?"
"I''ll simply tell them that we''re already together. Anyone who dares to spread rumors again shall face the consequences.”
Freya shrunk back and red at him, saying, "Forget it. Don''t bother rifying. The more you say, the messier it bes."
"Freya, do you find it shameful to be with me?" His raised his eyebrow and asked
"Who said we''re together? Don''t make things up." Freyained
Austin bit his lip. One year was quite a long time, and he believed she would finally be his.
Freya didn''t want the atmosphere to be too stifling. so she broke the silence. "Were you having a meeting just now?”
"Yes." Austin replied.
"I hope I didn''t disrupt you." After all, she attended meetings frequently and knew how annoying receiving phone calls during them could be.
"As long as it’s your call, I will never be annoyed." Austin said while gazing into her eyes.
Freya''s heart skipped a beat. She couldn''t help smiling while ncing out the window, and then she thought of the twenty thousand dors and said,
"Thank you for the money.”All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
"Now that you''ve made some money, how about treating ourselves to a dinner?" Austin suggested as he drove the car.
Freya''s heart immediately tightened, and she responded somewhat stingily, "I can''t afford to buy you dinner with what I''ve earned."
She could never forget that breakfast for the rest of her life, and she shouldn''t be too generous in front of this man. Otherwise, a single meal would
wipe out her earnings. So, being a bit thrifty seemed like the safer option.
Austin looked at her and said a little grumpily, "You can choose the restaurant this time."
"Really?" Freya found it hard to believe. He was very selective when it came to food. How could he settle for an ordinary restaurant?
"Absolutely. You choase any ce you like, and I''ll go along with it," Austin said. He just wanted her to treat him to dinner, in case she would grow too
comcent.
Freya immediately thought of the barbecue restaurant she hade across at the mall. She was impressed by the amazing smell of food as she
passed by that time.
“Alright, once we pick up Daniel, let''s have dinner in the restaurant. But there is one condition. I get to pick the restaurant." Freya requested.
"Deal." Austin replied with a smile
After they picked up their son, Daniel was thrilled to hear that they could dine out because he had a reason to indulge in some snacks, and it had
been far toong since he had ice cream.
Following Freya’s guide, Austin drove the car to the mall. Freya held Daniel''s hand and led the way. Daniel reached the other hand, wanting to hold
Daddy''s hand as well.
Austin immediately grasped his little hand, and the three of them stepped into the bustling mall, looking like a picture-perfect family.
The restaurant was on the fourth floor, which was not the kind of ce Austin would usually dine in. As they entered the barbecue restaurant, there
were many avable tables. Freya chose a cozy spot by the window and sat down.
Austin furrowed his brow.holding Daniel in his arms, and watched Freya tick boxes on the menu.
nstead of seeking Austin''s advice,

ooked at Austin and asked:"Can

"Yes." Austin replied confidently.
"Medium spicy, please," Freya said to the waitress.
The waitress, a young girl in her twenties, couldn''t help but feel shy as she nced at Austin. Gosh! Both the father and son were so incredibly good-
locking. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.
He was even mere attractive than movie stars.
Of course, the charm of celebrities was often superficial, and their nobility and attractiveness an illusion. But this man sitting in front of her could
captivate any woman''s heart with just a single look.

Daniel''s eyes widened and blinked as he pondered. After a moment of thought, he replied excitedly, "Can I have an ice cream?”
"I meant the toy kind,” Freya rified. for she knew that he loved eating ice cream.
Daniel pouted, staring at her with his big eyes like a poor puppy, and begged, "Mommy, I want some Haagen-Dazs, please! Just one scoop."
Austin was amused. Only Freya could resist the cute and pitiful expression of Daniel
"Alright then! One ice cream scoop it is. Mommy will even give you an extra treat. But what about the toys? Do you till want them?”
"I do, Mommy! I do." Daniel was eager for both ice cream and toys..
"You naughty boy.” Freya yfully scolded
As Freya was smiling, their eyes met suddenly. She saw the gentleness in his eyes. She bit her lips and looked out the window, yet mixed feelings
surged within her.
What on earth was going on? Why she found this guy more and more appealing?
It wasn''t a good sign.
Ten minutester, the barbecue was served, with a special blend of tantalizing aromas that instantly stimted their appetites. Even Austin was
surprised to find that it smelled very delicious.
A bowl of fragrant noodles ordered for Daniel was served as well. Freya reminded him, "You can only have the ice cream after you finish this bowl of
noodles, OK?"
"Okay!" Daniel nodded and promised to eat it up.
As Austin picked up the fork, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. Seeing this, Freya knew he had obsession with cleanliness and rose from her seat,
saying, "Can you pass me your bowl and fork? I''ll give them a quick wash."
Austin was a little surprised. Was this woman truly so considerate to his moods and feelings?
