Chapter 292 Time Will Tell


    After spending a few moments in the living room, Freya returned to her room, whereupon she gave


    Melissa a call tofort her for Benjamin’s passing, not to mention the previous incidents that were


    bothering her. Because of that, Freya was worried about Melissa’s mental state but was grateful that


    Hannah was there to apany Melissa and give her some emotional support. As time went by, Freya


    already hear someughter from the other side of the phone during their tele-conversation.


    On New Year’s Eve, Freya finally left the Kaufmann Residence and paid Brandon a visit, as well as to


    check on Trisha’s health condition. “It looks like Mrs. Lane’s illness has been cured. Freya smiled and


    added. “In fact, she seems to be fitter than you are now.


    When Trishagheard that, she became worried. “Are you saying that Brandon has health issues?”


    “Nah, it was just a metaphor.” Freyaughed it off.


    Unlike the Kaufmann Residence, the area where Brandon lived was filled with a strong festive vibe. In


    the meantime, Brandon looked like he would indulge himself in celebrating the asion, as he had not


    celebrated the New Year Festival in his hometown for years.


    While the entire courtyard was decorated with colorful lights andnterns, the walls and pirs were


    covered with drawings and paintings. Also, there were striking string lights that ran from one streetlight


    to another, brightening up the entire region.


    Standing at the courtyard’s entrance, Freya gazed at Brandon with her hands right behind her back.


    “You don’t look like you’re celebrating the New Year Festival, Master. Instead, you look like you just got


    married.”


    At that moment, Brandon was busy grinding wood in the courtyard. Despite the cooling weather, he


    was so absorbed in his work that he didn’t feel cold at all. In fact, his forehead was even covered in


    sweat. Upon


    earing Freya’s words, the man responded with a cold chuckle. “I think you’ve been idle around a lot


    lately. Ever since you came back from Vroria, you haven’t reallyid a finger on a piece of wood, have


    you? Intly, I thought you were busy with your postnatal duties of looking after Jolly, but it’s been almost


    half a year since then. So, what’s it going to be now? Have you grown tired of learning?”


    “No, I haven’t.” Freya quickly responded, whereupon she paused briefly and added, “But it’s cold I don’t


    want to expose my hands.” Freya reacted confidently, but her response didn’t seem to sit Brandon, who


    just blew his own mustache in frustration.


    Soop. Trisha brought out two cups of tea and handed one to each of them at the door. Then, she si she


    watched the bickering between Freya and her mentor. Although they didn’t have children, Trisha long


    treated Freya as one of her own. As Freya always seemed like a disciple and perhaps a daughter to


    Brandon, she was expected to be there and give Brandon a decent funeral when the day came.


    After that, they sat on the porch and enjoyed their tea. Then, Freya couldn’t help but notice the steam


    that a rising from the teacup and the tea bowl as she suddenly spoke. “Master, I have a question I’d like


    to

    Fire away Brandon gazed at Freya.


    Do you know about the matter between me and Radley?” Freya fixed her gaze upon the steam that


    was wafting in the air. “When I first regained my memory, I was so overwhelmed by both love and rage


    that I besane worried that I might have split personalities. Nevertheless, that feeling has slowly


    disappeared over thest six months.” Freya then turned around and looked at Brandon. “Instead, the


    happy days I spent with Radley in West Geftter have helped me suppress those negative emotions


    greatly.”


    Brandon yawned and asked, “So? Are you nning to give Radley a chance now? Considering the fact


    that you’ve regained your lost memories, you must never go back on your own words. For that, I urge


    you to think twice before you act.”


    Freya frowned and pursed her lips. “I don’t know about it either. While the emotions I feel from the


    incidents in the past might have faded a lot, there is something that still bothers me deep down”


    “Then, don’t think about it. Life is all about going with the flow Brandon smiled.


    Freya took a deep breath. Yes, life is all about going with the flow, but I can’t stop Radley from


    disturbing me amidst my sleep in the middle of the night. Ever since Melissa got into trouble, Radley


    would call her once every few days out of concern. However, he knew where to draw the lines;


    otherwise, Freya would have blocked him if he had called more frequently.


    Freya bit her lips and looked up at the sky, thinking she finally understood how meticulous and careful


    Radley was when he was dealing with her. Nevertheless, she could never ept him so long as she


    didn’t take the initiative to get over the incident that had been bothering her, yet she didn’t know what to


    do to move on from those incidents.


    “Fine, forget about it.” Freya smiled coldly.


    “Time will tell. So, just take it easy.” Brandon gazed at Freya as she nodded in response. After having


    lunch at Brandon’s ce, she returned to her car and left the ce.


    The next day was a special day of the New Year Festival. When Freya went downstairs, she saw Sylvia


    holding Jolly, who was dressed up like an adorable mascot, in her arms.


    “New Year is just around the corner, but you seemed to be away from home thest few days. Why?”


    “I went to visit my master. It was something I had to do out of courtesy.” Freya smiled.


    Hyia nodded and said, “Well, you’re right. By the way, your oldest cousin ordered some tea leaves and


    had them delivered here yesterday. Mr. Lane is a huge fan of tea, isn’t he? Bring him some, perhaps.”


    Freya picked up the tea leaves and got into her car. Upon arrival at the Monaghans’ mansion, Freya


    took a deep breath as she hadn’t set foot in this ce for about half a year. Nheless, the security


    guards at the entrance could still recognize Freya, whereupon they let her in directly. After that, she


    drove all the way to the front of the vi and pulled up at the door. When she stepped out of the car,


    she was greeted by the buder and ushered into the living room.


    Unlike the unforgiving winter on the outside, the living room was warm and cozy. Upon entering the


    living room. Freya immediately saw Danie sitting on the couch right opposite her, noticing her gray


    hair as well as the nket on herp.


    Come bere, Frey. I want to take a closer look at your lovely face.” Danie’s voice sounded weaker


    than it ever did before as she stuck out her arms to seize Freya’s hands.


    Freya immediately felt a lump in her throat, walking closer to the olddy as she was told. “Grandma.”


    ‘Comes beside me,” Danie held Freya’s hand.


    Previously whenever Freya paid Danie a visit, the olddy would always grab her hands angrily if


    she waste, even by a bit. However, she reacted with a smile without showing any signs of anger at


    all th time even though Freya had not visited for nearly half a year.


    Freya’s lips trembled as she looked closely at Danie’s gray hair. After all, Danie still had some dark


    hair six months ago, but now, it had all turned gray. Old people seem to age faster than young people. I


    guess At the thought of that, Freya was suddenly overwhelmed by a pang of guilt and regret, thinking


    she should never neglect Danie on purpose despite the conflict between her and Radley. Grandma


    has always loved me, yet I treated her like this. How heartless I am! Freya scolded herself in her heart.


    After chatting with Danie for a while, Freya helped her up “Grandma, I saw the flowers blooming in


    the yard when I came. Why don’t I take you to the window to have a closer look?”


    The smile on Danie’s face stiffened. She then smiled gently and said, “It’s alright. I’m good. If you


    want to take a closer look at the flowers, feel free to go to the courtyard. Bring a few of them so that I


    can have someone ce them in the vase in the bedroom.”


    Freya rested on Danie’s shoulder and replied, “If you’re not going, then I won’t go either. Freya’s


    lovely reaction melted Danie’s heart.


    When it was lunchtime, Danie insisted that she wasn’t hungry, to which Freya responded by


    furrowing her eyebrows. Then, her gaze fell on the nket that was covering the olddy’sp as a bad


    feeling surged through her heart.
