Chapter 1671


    Seeing that he was about to leave, she asked anxiously, "How... How long would it take?"


    She immediately regretted it after asking him that question. Since young, she hated being a woman


    due to the patriarchy practices within her family. Because of that, she never relied on anyone. But now,


    she was slowly starting to rely on him and was actually worried that he would just ditch her.


    "I''ll be back very soon," he answered.


    "Alright," she replied.


    After Matthew left the room, she curled herself up in the nket as she felt a sense of helplessness.


    Luckily, he returned shortly after with two sets of clothes—one of them men''s clothing while the other


    women''s clothing. They looked simple since they were off-the-rack clothing.


    Matthew looked down as he threw the clothes onto the bed. "You should change into them first. I''ll be


    waiting outside the door. Let me know if you need anything." He then headed out and shut the door.


    She had mixed feelings as she looked at the clothing in front of her. She stretched her hands out to


    touch the female clothing. Although it wasn''t anything fancy, she had a strong urge to try it out. Growing


    up, she never had the urge to dress like a woman.


    For the longest time, her only wish was to make herself stronger; she wanted to be better than all the


    men within her family so that the elders would look up to her and not despise her just because she was


    a woman.


    At one point, she even felt that being a woman was a disgrace; just because she wasn’t a man, she


    was worse off. The thought of dressing up as a woman never crossed her mind, and she even looked


    down on Zoey for always wearing eye-catching clothes. But now, she had a strong urge to try it on and


    would be content even if she only put it on for a minute.


    However, after a round of contemtion, she decided against it. She then reached for the male clothing


    and put it on before telling Matthew to enter the room. The atmosphere got rather awkward as both of


    them stood inside.


    Soon after, Matthew spoke. "Gregory and Lord Voodoo must have gone to look for Freya, so we


    shouldn''t stay here for too long."


    "Alright, let''s find a hiding spot first. I will contact my family and get them to bring us back!"


    After leaving the ce, they got into the car and drove away. It took them less than two hours to reach


    another urban district next to Granville. Once they settled down, the first thing Tristan did was to


    contact her family.


    Matthew gave a call to Crystal too. After finding out that she was in the ne headed to Eastcliff, he let


    out a sigh of relief. He was initially worried that Freya would make things hard for Crystal after he ran


    away. However, based on this, he could tell that Freya was a principled woman.


    "That''s great." He nodded.


    "Even if Freya is highly capable, she wouldn’t expect us to leave GranvilleContent property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
