Chapter 2165
What did Ryan just say?
Did he say that he liked her?
How could this be? Did she mishear?
However, if it was all an illusion, why was his kiss so searing and deep? It was as if he wanted her to
melt.
Then, Freya became so flustered that she pushed him away hard with trembling hands. “Ryan, stop
joking. Today isn’t April Fool’s Day.”

“I’m not joking.”
Ryan’s thin lips grazed hers. He revealed his sincerity with quick breaths. “Freya, I told you before that I
liked someone I shouldn’t. However, it was never a guy. It was you. I’m not interested in men at all. All
along, I’ve only loved you.
“If not, why would I treat you so well? I was angrier than anyone else to see Rodney betray you. I
wanted to make youugh more than anyone else when I saw you crying. I really wanted to k**l him
when he kicked and hurt you. During this time I’ve been with you, all I want is to give you all the best
things in the world.”
“No, no… This isn’t real.”
The more Freya listened, the more she panicked. “You like men. There were even reporters who took
pictures of you.”
“I did that intentionally. I wanted my parents to think that I like men. I wanted you to think that I like
men. That way, you’d lower your guard with me, and I could treat you wellfortably. At the same
time, my family will more easily ept you being together with me. After all, being together with you is
better than being with men.”
Ryan cupped Freya’s small face so that she could not avert her gaze. She could only meet his eyes.
“Freya, look at me. I’ll say it once more. I love you…”
“No. Don’t say it.”
Freya pushed him away frantically like a little beast. She was panicking so badly that even her tears fell
out. “It’s impossible for us to be together. Ryan, I’m your parents’ goddaughter, your godsister, and your
cousin’s ex-wife. The whole country knows about this, hence no one will ept it. Your parents will go
insane, and the Snow family members won’t ept it either.”
Ryan allowed her hands to hit his shoulders. He smiled bitterly. “I’m aware of everything you said.
That’s why I’ve been paving the way behind the scenes. Aside from my dad’s side, Jessica makes the
decision with everything the Snow family rted. No matter how much my grandpa and the others are
against it, it’ll be no use as long as she has no objections. As for my parents, I have made my own
arrangements. I won’t put you in a difficult position. Freya, trust me. I truly want to be with you…”
“Your thinking is too simple.” Freya shook her head and cut him off immediately.
“Freya, what you think isplicated has always been simple to me, hasn’t it?”
Ryan wiped the tears on her face with his fingertips. “Like your divorce and you taking the me for
Eliza. The serious things to you are all small matters to me.”
Freya widened her eyes. “So you knew I was taking the me for Eliza…”
“I knew it early on because I understand what kind of person you are. No matter how much you hate
Sarah, you wouldn’t kidnap and disfigure her. Of course, aside from your family, your close friends are
the only other people you’ll protect.”
Ryan said softly, “Freya, my love for you isn’t just on a whim. I was attracted to you long ago, but you
were married to Rodney and had his child at that time. When Rodney didn’t treat you well back then, I
tried to agitate him to give him a sense of crisis. That way, he’d treat you better. I used to congratte
you two sincerely, but he could not do it. When I saw you crying on the street, I thought I would be the
one to bring you happiness in the future. I didn’t want any other man to have you.”
“But you were just saying those words to agitate Rodney. All of it was fake…”
“If I had let you know that I like you from the start, wouldn’t you have been so frightened that you’d hide
and refuse my kindness?”
