Chapter 237 I Miss You


    Freya felt something was off after she escorted Radley to the window.


    Although he had entered through the window, it wouldn’t be right to let him leave through it again.


    “Forget it. I’ll take you out,” Freya whispered. “We’re on the second floor, after all. I can’t afford for you


    to get hurt if you fall.”


    With that, she took Radley’s hand, intending to stop him from jumping out of the window.


    However, when she touched his warm palm, she blushed.


    Immediately, she held his hand even tighter.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Freya quietly opened the door, remembering the lesson she learned when she bumped into Brisa at the


    vist time.


    She first stuck out half of her head, made sure there was no one in the corridor, then pulled Radley out.


    Ten minutester, Freya avoided all the surveince and patrol personnel and brought Radley to the


    front gate of Kaufmann Residence.


    “Alright. You should


    go back now.” Freya was in much better spirits now.


    Radley’s gaze was meaningful as he spoke, “The next time Ie back, it will be after signing


    the contract.”


    “Okay.” Freya nodded. “That’s only a few days left, and I will keep an eye on West Geft.”


    She switched the topic to West Geft again.


    Radley smirked. “I’m not talking about West Geft. I’m concerned about whether miss me.”


    you will


    Freya’s face turned slightly crimson. “It’ll only be a few days.”


    After she finished speaking, she saw Radley still staring at her.


    “I’ll try to miss you.”


    Radley chuckled softly, amused by Freya’s somewhat shy and helpless response.


    “Now that we’re in a rtionship, what should a normal couple do when they’re apart?” he


    asked.


    Freya red at him. “Say goodbye!”


    She knew what he meant. He was expecting a farewell kiss, but she couldn’t do it right now.


    Radley chuckled softly then hugged Freya gently.


    However, it was merely a light hug before they separated.


    “I won’t push you too hard, and I’ll wait for you to ept me gradually,” Radley remarked before turning


    around and walking back to his car.


    Back at Kaufmann Residence, Freya touched her chest. When she was with Radley tonight, her heart


    was always beating fast as if there was a palpitation spreading from her chest.


    She and Radley were officially dating now.


    The realization kept creeping up Freya’s mind. She sighed softly, wondering if she was too impulsive.


    How could she agree to it?


    When she saw Radley appear in the room, she thought about how he had flown back from Iternia


    overnight.


    A smile appeared on her lips.


    She secretly told herself that since she had made the decision, she shouldn’t turn back on it.


    The next day, Freya didn’t get up until half past ten o’clock in the morning. When she went. downstairs,


    her mother, Sylvia, Sarah Burgess, and Ashley were already sitting in the living


    room.


    “Good morning, Grandma and Aunt Ashley.”


    “Good morning, Frey,” they responded with smiles.


    Sylvia nced at Freya. “Why did you get up sote today? Didn’t you rest earlyst night?”


    “I’ve been feeling a bit sleepytely,” Freya uttered nervously.


    “It’s fine. Let her sleep a little longer,” Sarahughed and then looked at Freya tenderly, “Frey, we’ve


    already had breakfast. Go and have yours.”


    Freya happily agreed.


    “Mom, don’t spoil her. She’s not a child anymore. In a little over two months, she’ll be a mother herself.”


    Sarah’s voice sounded from behind. A happy smile appeared on Freya’s face. If only Grandma will


    always be here at Kaufmann Residence.


    After breakfast, Freya got ready and went to West Geft Joint Department.


    Before leaving, she was nagged at by Sylvia again, while Sarah chimed in to defend her, reminding


    Freya to be careful on the way.


    Freya drove to West Geft Joint Department and went to Brandon’s office first.


    Brandon was in his office, carving wood. He looked up and waved when he saw Freyae in. “You


    came at the right time. Come here. I’ll teach you something new today.”


    Freya was stationed at West Geft Joint Department and didn’t have many tasks at hand. Hence, she


    didn’t return to her own office and instead learned how to make a multipurpose box with Brandon.


    The making of the multipurpose box was veryplicated. Although it was called a multipurpose box,


    it was more like a box with hiddenpartments.


    It had much better concealment than a multipurpose box.


    “This thing can keep a lot of stuff inside,” Freya praised when she saw the finished. multipurpose box.


    Brandon looked at the finished box with great pride.


    “Of course. I have one at home, and I’ve been using it to hide my personal savings for decades. My


    wife has never found it.”


    Freya chuckled, feeling like she had just found out about a big secret.


    “It will look even better after applying paint.” Brandon sighed, “These kinds of boxes could be enhanced


    with iy work, but the craftsmanship of iy work has been declining. Most of them are done by


    machines now. The soul ispletely lost in machines.”


    “Things that can’t be mass-produced will always be abandoned by capitalism,” Freya sighed softly


    while ying with the multipurpose box in her hands.


    From the surface, the multipurpose box looked like a twoyer antique dressing box.


    Even when one opened the drawer, the depth of it seemed to fit perfectly with the box,pletely


    making it impossible for one to imagine that there was a hiddenyer.


    This was something Brandon taught her by using thebination and ovey of wood to create visual


    deception.


    There seemed to be only a thinyer at the bottom, but in fact, it was deep enough to hold something


    an inch thick..


    Freya stared at it for a while and suddenly had a thought.


    The Compendium of Medical Wisdom was currently ced on her bookshelf in her bedroom, and


    although she hid it in another book, she still felt somewhat uneasy.


    Braxton mentionedst time that even if the thief didn’t know where the book was, they could easily


    steal The Compendium of Medical Wisdom if they stole the book that hid it.


    On the other hand, this multipurpose box would serve as a great hiding ce for The Compendium of


    Medical Wisdom.


    Freya pondered for a moment.


    “Master, teach me how to make another multipurpose box.”


    Brandon looked at Freya suspiciously. “Why are you so diligent today?”


    The master and apprentice worked around until the afternoon. Just then, Freya’s phone, which she had


    ced on the table, rang. She walked over, nced at Brandon, and went to a corner to answer the


    call.


    On the other end, Radley’s low voice carried concern. “Did you go to West Geft Joint Department?”


    “Yes. I have to keep an eye on things here since you’re not around. The matters here are almost done,


    so nothing should go wrong,” Freya whispered.


    Radley responded, “Take care of yourself and call me if anything happens.”


    Freya checked the time. “Aren’t you supposed to be ying golf with Wilson now?”


    “I am, but I sneaked out to call you.” Radley lowered his voice. “I miss you, so I called.”


    Freya’s face turned crimson instantly. In a volume only she could hear, she uttered, “Then,e back


    soon.”


    For someone like Radley, who was cold and aloof, saying “I miss you” was probably the most


    straightforward expression of affection.
