Chapter 231
Chapter 231 I Like You
Four days passed in the blink of an eye.
Freya’s recent lifestyle was very simple. She went to work at the West Geft Joint Department during the
day and returned to the Kaufmann Residence at night,forting Isabe over the phone.
Today was the day Isabe and Braxton got engaged.
:
Because of the banquet procedures, Isabe arrived at the Kaufmann Residence early in the morning
to start preparing.
On the first floor, Isabe and Freya stayed in a room together, leaning against the window and looking
outside.
The flowers that were just airliftedst night were now arranged and embellished in the Kaufmann
Residence’s garden, adding a touch of spring and vitality to thete autumn garden.
Freya smiled andmented, “My mom rarely hosts dinners at home. She doesn’t like it when others.
make a mess of the house. This is the first time I’ve seen the house decorated so grandly.”
Isabe, who had already had her makeup and hair done by a stylist, stood there with her hands
trembling slightly.
Freya’s gaze shifted from outside the window back to Isabe’s trembling hands.
She chuckled and tried tofort her. “Isabe, there’s no need to be so nervous, right? It’s just an
engagement banquet for now. If you’re this nervous, won’t you faint at the wedding banquet in a few
months?”
Isabe coughed lightly, her voice sounding as if it was squeezed out of her throat.
“I… I consider this… a long-cherished wish fulfilled. How can I not be nervous?”
Freya gently caressed her belly and nodded. She was wearing an exceptionally loose evening gown
today, with only a stretchy band below her chest, and the rest of the skirt was loose.
Isabe looked at the time and said, “No, I have to change into my dress quickly. The emcee will call us
on stage soon.”
Freya cooperated with Isabe and, with the help of two maids, slowly fastened the gorgeous
engagement dress.
“It’s done.”
Music started ying outside.
It was time for the female protagonist to make her entrance. Isabe, with her dress held up, walked -
towards the stage with a stiff smile on her face.
Freya followed behind, and the two of them walked from the vi to the Kaufmann Residence’s garden.
In the garden, Isabe, holding up her dress, sat down next to her mother with a stiff smile on her face.
The engagement banquet this time was designed by Isabe with a mix of foreign and local styles and
some scenes of interaction between the emcee and the engaged couples.

Freya watched the lively scene and noticed her best friend standing on the stage with a stiff back.
She chuckled softly. Braxton stood beside Isabe and reached out to hold her hand.
The two of them whispered something to each other, and Isabe rxed.
After interacting with the emcee, it was time for the engaged couple to dance their first dance.
Braxton led Isabe onto the dance floor, starting with a waltz.
Freya caressed her pregnant belly as young men and women around her entered the dance floor.
H
She sat there calmly, remembering how she used to hide in a corner during dinners before. Now, her
belly had be her lucky charm, and no one would invite her to dance.
As Freya was thinking about this, a familiar voice sounded beside her.
“May I have this dance, little fairy?”
Freya raised an eyebrow and turned her head to see Matthew extending his hand beside her.
She chuckled and casually replied, “Fairies usually don’t dance casually.”
Matthew didn’t mind and sat down on the chair beside Freya.
“Fairies usually don’t dance,” he said. “The ceremony is already over, so why are you still sitting here?”
Freya caressed her belly and saidzily, “I’m a pregnant woman. If I don’t sit here, do you want me to
go in and really dance?”
She looked at the figures of Braxton and Isabe on the dance floor.
One was looking up while the other looking down as if their eyes and the world only had each other.
Freya could empathize with them, and a radiant smile appeared on her face.
“I’m relieved to see my brother and Isabe finally get engaged.”
Freya’s face was filled with happiness and relief for her brother and Isabe.
Matthew’s gaze lingered on Braxton and Isabe for a while before quietly shifting to Freya.
“Now that your brother is engaged, you should also consider your own lifelong matters.”
Freya caressed her belly, feeling carefree. “I’m not in a hurry. Even if I never get married in this lifetime,
it doesn’t matter.”
Matthew’s gaze deepened slightly as he thought of what his parents had told him when he returned
from Hartterre.
“After I came back from Hartterre this time, I heard that Radley announced some news at Wilson’s
seminar, saying that the child in your belly is his. Does Radley know the truth?”
Freya was originally immersed in the happiness of her brother and Isabe, but when she heard
Matthew’s words, she suddenly snapped out of it.
She was startled and looked around, checking her surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around,
she lowered her voice.
“Lower your voice. Don’t let anyone hear you!”
Seeing Freya’s reaction, Matthew raised an eyebrow and figured out what was going on. “Seeing how
scared you are, Radley probably doesn’t know the truth yet.”
Freya red at him and thought for a moment before saying, “Radley’s current understanding is the
same as your previous identity.”
Matthew chuckled. “So, you mean Radley thinks that the child in your belly is mine, but he’s willing to
be the father of my child? I didn’t expect him to be so magnanimous.”
Matthew’s tone was filled with a sense of schadenfreude.
Freya red at him in anger.
“Alright, stop sitting here doing nothing. Take me for a walk in your backyard.”
Matthew pulled Freya to her feet.
Freyazily said, “You’ve been to my house so many times. Can’t you go for a walk by yourself? Why
do you have to drag me along?”
A faint smile appeared on Matthew’s handsome face as he stared at Freya intently.
“Let’s go. I have something to tell you.”
Freya could only follow him as they walked towards the backyard.
As they gradually moved away from the main venue of the banquet, the surroundings became quiet.
Freya stopped, feeling a bit tired.
“Matthew, are you sure there’s no one here? Even the surveince cameras here are silent. What do
you want to say?”
Matthew turned around and looked at Freya solemnly
Feeling as if she was being scrutinized, Freya suddenly felt like she was being yed.
“Is this what you wanted to say? I can’t believe I thought you had something important!”
Freya had heard these words from Matthew countless times since they first met.
