Chapter 341 I Can’t Forget
Freya narrowed her eyes and turned to look at Radley.
Radley politely declined. “Master, please answer her question first. I can eatter.”
Brandon was angry. “Radley, you’ve learned from me for a few days and even called me ‘Master. Yet,
you won’t stand up for me?”
Freya didn’t dwell on the matter for too long. She knew Brandon was in a difficult position.
After a short tea break, Freya stood up and said, “I’ll go help Mrs. Lane prepare the meal.”
As she got up, Radley followed suit. “I’ll help too.”
Freya questioned him, “Do you know how to cook?”
Radley’s expression remainedposed as he replied, “I can help with the preparations.”
His tone carried a formality that resembled the signing of a formal document.
Freya didn’t say anything more and headed to the kitchen. The kitchen was situated in another part of
the courtyard. Radley followed closely behind. However, Trisha was quick to intervene.
“Why are you bothing to the kitchen? There’s a strong smell of cooking here. You’ll feel
ufortable.”
Freya smelled the strong aroma of food in the air and nced at Radley.
For some, it was a mouthwatering scent, but for the clean freaks, it felt as if the smell was infiltrating
their body.
It made them feel ufortable all over.
Radley, however, remained unperturbed. “Mrs. Lane, is there anything we can assist with? We’re here
to help
Trisha couldn’t drive the two away, so she assigned them the easiest task. She gave them a basket of
green vegetables to be picked.
“You can help pick these vegetables. Do it in the living room. It’s too smelly here.” Trisha was aware of
Radley’s cleanliness issues.
Freya sneered, “No need, Mrs. Lane. We’ll just pick them here. It’s warm in the kitchen”
Both of them took seats on small stools, facing a low table, and began picking the vegetables.
asionally, Freya would catch the aroma of Mrs. Lane’s buffalo wings in the air. “Mrs. Lane’s buffalo
wings must be in erdibly delicious. I’m starting to crave them just from the smell.”
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Radley, who was holding two greens in his hand.
Hle meticulously picked them one by one, even carefully ttening any folded leaves.
Freya was left speechless.
At this rate, it would probably take them until evening to finish picking this basket of vegetables!
She reached out and decisively took the vegetables from Radley’s hand. “Pick them a bit faster at this
rate. We’ll have to wash them againter.”
Radley lowered his gaze and looked at Freya. “Alright.”
Freya was skilled in cooking. She used to always cook for him in the past, but he had never tasted her
food.
Even with Freya’s guidance, it took them more than twenty minutes to finish picking the basket of
vegetables. Most of the time, Freya was pointing out Radley’s mistakes.
Those poor vegetables, even if they had the slightest w, would end up in the trash when they
reached. Radley’s hands.
Freya rubbed her forehead, feeling drained. Finally, they had finished picking the vegetables. She felt
she was more exhausted than Radley.
“Why don’t you return to the living room and enjoy some tea with Master?” she suggested.
Radley lowered his gaze and looked at Freya’s resigned and annoyed face, then chuckled softly.
“It’s okay, I’ll stay with you.”
Freya’s heart skipped a beat. “There’s not much work left here. You can go back.”
Trisha, who was cooking, turned her head and immediately took out a bag of garlic from the cab.
“Frey, help me peel these garlic cloves with Radley.”
Freya looked at the dozens of garlic cloves, feeling speechless. Mrs. Lane, you’re being too obvious!
The two of them sat back at the table and started peeling the garlic. This time, Freya no longer had to
teach Radley. They peeled the garlic cloves and ced them in a bowl.
Freya leaned in and asked in a hushed tone, “I’ve heard that the Monaghan Group is currently targeting
the Freeman Group. Is that true?”
Radley’s gaze flickered slightly. “There’s no such thing.
“But I’ve also heard that the Hond Group is going after the Freeman Group. Radley, if this is because
of me, it’s unnecessary. Both our families are deeply entrenched in the business world, and you should
understand that adding another enemy can be problematic. Especially since the Freeman Group has
been a fixture in the capital for many years with deep roots. If we push them too far, who knows how
they might retaliate?”
Radley’s tone remainedposed, with a hint of coldness. “They wouldn’t dare.”
For now, they have only terminated a few partnerships with the Freeman Group. If they dared to make
a move Radley was determined to make the entire Freeman family suffer.
People should pay the price for their mistakes. Riley’s problem lies in her character and upbringing.
She’s the daughter of the Freeman family, so Freeman Group should bear some responsibility for her
actions.
Freya frowned. “Is this still considered doing nothing? All Riley did was attempt to tarnish my reputation
during thepetition, and she didn’t seed. Besides, this is my matter.”
Radley’s expression remained unchanged. “Your matters are my matters.”
Freya felt a bit flustered, but Trisha served her a piece of meat before she could argue further.
“Frey, taste this for me.”
Freya felt that Trisha had “betrayed” her.
They stayed in the courtyard until the afternoon. Freya chatted with Trisha and checked her pulse.
Her pulse was steady, and her heartbeat was strong.
Freya felt relieved.
Thinking about the uing surgery, she told Brandon, who was beside her, “Master, I have some
things. to take care of in theing weeks, so I won’t be able to visit for about half a month.”
She nned to stay with Braxton after the surgery to monitor his post-operative condition, just in case.
Brandon waved his hand dismissively. “You disappeared for around three months when you gave birth
to Jolly, and you disappeared for almost a month when you participated in thepetition. I’ve used
to it.

Freya suddenly felt a little sad. It was her strong suggestion for her master to stay, but she hadn’t
fulfilled her duties as a disciple.
“Don’t worry; once I’m done with these matters, I’ll make sure to visit two to three days a week to catch
up with you and Mrs. Lane.”
Trisha, who was nearby, reprimanded Brandon, “Young people have many things to do, have all the
time in the world. Stopining.”
Even when Trisha reprimanded someone, her voice remained gentle and soft. Brandon, with his
stubborn temperament, couldn’t utter a word in response, captivated by Trisha.
“I was just saying…” he mumbled softly.
Freya and Radley left the courtyard together.
They walked side by side on their way back, and when they reached a crossroad, Freya turned to
Radley.
“Radley, did youe over today because you knew I was here?”
Radley fixed his gaze on her and replied, “Yes.”
Freya’s gaze fell on his neck and wrist, where the skin had turned slightly red from exposure to cooking
fumes.
This was a joychological reactionmon among individuals with an obsession with cleanliness,
triggeng physical responses. It could be considered a stress-induced allergy.
I understand your intentions She sighed softly, “Radley, I have genuinely forgiven you; from the bottom
of my heart, and I have let go of the hatred of the past two years. However, those merries have
resurfaced, and they linger. I can’t forget those things. Tean’t forget them, do you understand?”
Even though love was present in her memories, and even though she still loved Radley deep down,
she felt that some distance had developed between them.
Radley furrowed his brow, standing still where he was.

“Give me some time. Let me think this through. Your actions in Hartterre truly touched me, and I still
have feelings for you. But betrayal… How can I simply let it go?
“I know you love me now, but if I forgive even betrayal, it’s like stripping away my pride and self-
esteem. You’re hurting me.”
