Chapter 257


    Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 257


    “I’m having a meeting at thepany which might go on until 5:30. I’ll drive there directlyter. Help me


    apologize to your parents for me,” Patrick said in a soft tone.


    “It’s okay, but you can’t bete. My dad hates people who don’t keep their word.”


    “Don’t worry, it’s a matter of my life. I definitely won’t bete. I’ve already prepared a gift that your parents


    will like. We’ll book our marriage early, and I’ll marry you.” Patrick smiled sincerely.


    Freya’s heart felt sweet as she listened to him.


    After hanging up, she drove to pick up her parents and then went to Jadeite Restaurant.


    It was exactly 5:30 p.m. when she arrived. After she ordered the food, her elder brother Forrest arrived.


    At 6:00 p.m., Patrick still had not shown up. Freya’s dad got a little impatient, saying, “Why isn’t he here


    yet? It’s not right to make us elders wait for him.”


    Freya said, “Dad, it’s rush hour now. There’s probably heavy traffic on the road.”


    Her mother nodded and agreed. “Thepany has a lot of things to be settled at the end of the year, so


    it’s understandable. Just be more patient.”


    Freya called Patrick, but he did not pick up. “He must not be picking up because he’s almost here.”


    After another half an hour, her father lost his temper. “It’s his first meeting with us but he stood us up.


    Even calling him is useless. I don’t think he’s sincere at all. I won’t agree to let you marry him.”


    This time, her mother did not say anything, and Forrest also had a steely face. “Break it off with him. It’s


    not like there are no other men in the world.”


    Freya paled. In the face of her family’s usations, she forced herself not to shed tears. She simply felt


    very disappointed and embarrassed.


    In the past, he had stood her up countless times, but now, he even missed the first meeting with her


    parents. Did he really love her?

    Her mother sighed. “Freya, the most important thing in a woman’s life is to find a man who is


    wholeheartedly good to you. You’re still young, so don’t rush to settle down. Now, let’s eat. The food is


    getting cold.”


    Throughout the meal, it was like she was chewing on wax.


    Until the end, Patrick did not call even once to exin.


    After parting with her family, she drove to Patrick’spany.


    His office was already dark.


    She began to feel a little anxious. She was worried that Patrick had gotten into a car ident or


    something.


    However, she did not know the numbers of Patrick’s parents. After hesitating for a moment, she called


    Linda.


    She did not expect that the person who answered would be a familiar male voice. “Hello, Freya…”


    Freya looked at her blurred silhouette on the ss window in front of her and suddenlyughed to


    herself. Did she look like a fool? “Why didn’t you answer when I called you? Why is Linda’s phone with


    you?”


    “Freya, I’m sorry. Linda got into a car ident in the evening. I’m in the hospital now. I was too anxious


    to check my phone earlier,” Patrick said guiltily, “Oh no, it’s sote already? Have you finished eating?


    Please say sorry to Uncle and Aunty for me. I’ll invite them to dinner next time.”


    “…There’s no next time,” Freya said in a hollow voice.


    “Freya, it was really an emergency this time…”


    “Yes, everything about Linda is an emergency. Is she dead? Lame? Doesn’t she have parents anymore?


    Does she only have you?”


    Patrick’s heart chilled. “Freya, how could you say such things? Did Linda want to get into an ident?


    Even if you don’t like her, you should at least show somepassion.”


    Freya sneered. “Alright, I’ll ask you a question. Is she dead? Paralyzed? Crippled?”
