Chapter 9


    Chapter 9 She Must Have Been a Lovesick Fool


    Freya withdrew her hand and turned to look.


    A noble-looking woman slowly descended the stairs. She dressed appropriately and had exquisite


    makeup on. However, her eyes were filled with displeasure and disgust toward Freya.


    So, Freya instantly knew it was probably the woman in front of her who didn’t like her and forced her to


    resign back then.


    Radley called out. “Mom.”


    Knowing the woman’s identity now, Freya only nodded at her, then smiled and said to another elderly


    lady, “Grandma, I’ll go wash my hands.” She was Radley’s grandmother, Danie Harper.


    Radley stared at Freya’s back for a while as she walked to the bathroom.


    He thought she would confront his mother as she did to him.


    At the thought of that, he tugged on the corner of his lips. Then, he said to his mother, Rosie Hamilton,


    who came to his side, “Mom, Freya…”


    Although Rosie didn’t like Freya, she restrained herself from showing that in front of Danie and only


    responded lightly, “Shouldn’t you wash your hands after youe home?”


    Freya was done washing her hands. She ignored Rosie and chatted with Danie.


    Soon, the servants called for dinner.


    Freya helped Danie sit down at the dining table and nced at the dishes on the table. Her smile


    faded slightly.


    She liked spicy food. However, the dinner today seemed so nd that it appeared unappetizing.


    Since she was married to Radley for two years, the Monaghans must know her preference.


    Rosie must have instructed the chef to make it nd when she went into the kitchen just now.


    Freya only took a few mouthfuls before putting down her cutleries.


    Radley noticed that she didn’t eat much and frowned, but he didn’t say anything.


    It was Danie who asked, “Freya, why aren’t you eating more? I remember you love these.”


    Freya’s heart skipped a beat. She was surprised. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    It seemed that the Monaghans really had no idea about her preference.


    Just what had she done before for the sake of Radley? Did she go out of her way to praise a table of


    dishes that she didn’t even like?


    She must have been a lovesick fool.


    And, she must have acted too well. Anyway, she couldn’t break the image that she had built all of a


    sudden, so she just smiled and exined, “I’m not hungry today, Grandma. It’s okay.”


    After dinner, Radley and Freya were ready to leave.


    Danie was very reluctant to bid goodbye. “Freya, I really like you as my granddaughter-inw. If


    there’s anything that you’re unhappy about, you must tell me, okay? I’ll help you to teach my stupid


    grandson a lesson!”


    The olddy had lived for a long time, so of course, she could see through family matters at a nce.


    Some things couldn’t be faked.


    However, Freya didn’t say much. She just smiled and promised, “Okay, Grandma. Don’t worry. Radley


    treats me well. I’lle to see you more often.”


    Just as the two were about to leave the family’s house, Rosie suddenly called to her son. “You stay. I


    have something to say to you.”


    Before Radley could reply, Freya had already decided. “I’ll leave first then.”


    Perhaps sensing that his mother had something important to say, Radley gave up on leaving together


    and said to Freya, “Wait, it’s toote. I’ll have the driver take you.”


    Freya didn’t mind. “Sure.”


    During the whole time, she had never looked at Rosie.


    This annoyed Rosie very much.


    After Freya had left, Rosie called her son into a room.


    Out of sight of others, she couldn’t bear to hide her disgust toward Freya any longer. “That girl was


    really rude today. Where is her manner…”


    As soon as she startedining, Radley’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he interrupted his


    mother indifferently, “Mom, don’t you have something to say?”


    Rosie stoppedining about Freya. She gave her son a cold nce before mming a phone in


    front of him and saying, “I just saw this today. Take a look.”


    Radley picked up the phone and frowned instantly.


    There were several photos showing Freya and Matthew posing together in the bar on that night.


    Freya’s face was clear in the photos, but Matthew’s was not very visible.


    Some of the photos were taken with an angle that the two seemed quite intimate.


    Radley tightly held onto the phone, pursing his thin lips. His eyes darkened.


    After a while, he exhaled a long breath and said deeply, “Mom, it’s a misunderstanding.”


    “A misunderstanding? You tell me it’s a misunderstanding with these photos here?”


    Seeing that she was about to say something more, Radley ced the phone with the screen facing


    down on the table and calmly announced, “Mom, Freya and I are divorced.”
