Chapter 1896


    That day, Freya appeared to be the same as usual. Freya smiled gently as she spoke to Adrienne.


    However, no matter how well she was trying to hide it, Adrienne could still feel the sadness in her


    eyes.


    Freya had asked for a divorce so decisively because she really loved Freddy. Her love for him ran


    deep, so she couldn''t tolerate anything that marred their rtionship.


    What was more, a pregnant woman had appeared at their door seeking for Freddy to take


    responsibility for her pregnancy. That was a tant insult toward her.


    The strong facade that Freya was putting on made Adrienne''s heart twist in pain. Adrienne grabbed


    Freya''s hand tightly and said, "Freya, we all know that you and Freddy love each other. The way


    your love blossomed was just like a fairytale, and the subject of so many people''s envy. I want both


    you and Freddy to be happy. Could you please give yourself, as well as Freddy, some time to calm


    down and think this over?"

    "Happy?" Freya sneered. "Adrienne, let me ask you this. What would you do if Jefferson had an


    affair with another woman and even got her pregnant?"


    "What? Freya, could it be that Freddy..." At the thought of Jefferson being intimate with another


    woman and conceiving a child with her, Adrienne felt a twinge of pain in her heart.


    The mere thought diforted her, extremely so. If such a thing actually happened to her, she


    probably would not forgive Jefferson for as long as she lived. And, thinking of Freya experiencing


    such a thing, the same Freya who loved Freddy so deeply, Adrienne suddenly could not find it in


    herself to continue persuading Freya.


    In the past, Freya often told her that love was a mysterious thing. There was such a thing as love at


    first sight, and also such a thing as falling out of love at another nce.


    Two people being together because of love, was a sweet and blissful thing indeed.


    If there came a day when one stopped loving the other, it would be better to tell the other party that


    directly. Moreover, after the breakup, one shouldn''t get into another rtionship if they still had


    lingering feelings from the past. Doing that would only hurt themselves, as well as the new


    rtionship.


    "I really wanted to stay with him for the rest of my life, and I''ve never thought of marrying any other


    man, but now..." The tears that Freya had been keeping in for a long time finally fell. She wiped


    them away forcefully and continued, "He was the one who betrayed me and our rtionship."


    "Freya, no matter what your final decision is, I will always support you. We deserve better than to be


    wronged." Adrienne no longer cared whether her guess as to the situation was correct. She simply


    couldn''t bear to talk Freya out of it anymore.


    Adrienne thought to herself that she couldn''t possibly know how much pain Freya was going


    through as she had not experienced it firsthand. It was an extremely selfish act to keep persuading


    Freya to let things slide and forgive Freddy.


    "Alright. Can you please go out and call Freddy in?" Freya patted Adrienne''s hand and tried her


    best to smile, as if assuring Adrienne thate what may, she would not give in.


    "Okay," Adrienne responded, getting up. "I''ll call him in and wait for you outside. When you''re done,


    let''s go and eat some delicious food together. I heard that a new restaurant that specializes in all


    kinds of roasted meat has just opened. Word is that it''s phenomenal! We should try it out."


    Smiling, Freya answered, "Okay. Let''s do that."


    Adrienne walked out of the lobby, seeing Jefferson and Freddy huddled in the left corner outside.


    They were talking with their heads down, and their expressions were somber. It seemed that the


    issue might really be as she had guessed.


    Walking over, Adrienne called out, "Freddy."


    Hearing her voice, Freddy immediately looked up with a hopeful expression on his face. "Adrienne,


    what did Freya say?"


    She replied, "Freddy, I''m sorry, I couldn''t bear to advise Freya against the divorce. You should go in


    and have a good talk with her."


    When Freddy realized that hisst lifeline was gone, his body trembled, and he nearly keeled over.


    Fortunately, he grabbed on to the wall in time. He muttered, "It''s my fault. I have to take


    responsibility for my mistake."


    Freddy''s concern and fears were definitely not for show. Adrienne knew that. They had grown up


    together. She understood Freddy and Freya''s rtionship clearly, even if other people didn''t.


    Could there be some sort of misunderstanding?


    Under Adrienne''s doubtful and worried gaze, Freddy staggered to the lobby of the Civil Bureau.


    Each step he took was heavy, as if he had exhausted all the strength in his body.


    At that time, Jefferson held Adrienne''s hand, bringing her to her senses. He said, "Freddy told me


    what happened. Yesterday, a woman went looking for them, saying that she was pregnant with


    Freddy''s child. It happened not long before we asked them outst night."


    Adrienne had already guessed what the exact situation was. Yet, she was still hoping that she was


    overthinking it; she tried to convince herself that she was wrong. Thus, after hearing what Jefferson


    said, she became enraged and anxious. She asked, "Did Freddy really hook up with another


    woman? And did that woman really conceive his child?"


    Jefferson nodded. "Well, that''s the case for now."


    "What do you mean by that?" Adrienne red fiercely at Jefferson, as if it was Jefferson who was in


    the wrong. "Why are all men like this? You men say that you love your partner, but you can''t even


    keep your own desires in check."


    Adrienne had utter faith in Freya and Freddy''s love for each other. She even believed that their


    rtionship wouldst forever. So, how could such a thing happen right then? How could Freddy


    hurt Freya so deeply?


    The more Adrienne thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so angry that she pinched


    Jefferson forcefully, huffing, "You stinky men!"


    The strength which Adrienne was pinching him with was undoubtedly just a tickle for Jefferson, but


    Jefferson still raised his eyebrows in reflex, because he was not, as she had said, a ''stinky man''.


    "Little Specky, watch your words. Don''t lump every man together."


    "Even when such a thing happened, how could you be on Freddy''s side? You''re not any good


    either!" Upon hearing Jefferson''s retort, Adrienne grew even more enraged. "Jefferson, I''m warning


    you now, if you don''t want me anymore in the future, just tell me in advance. You can get together


    with anyone you want after we end things. But if you dare to cheat on me behind my back, don''t


    me me if I beat you to a pulp!"


    "I promise that I won''t get together with any other woman for the rest of my life." Jefferson pulled


    Adrienne into his arms aggressively and said, "Little Specky, calm down. Listen to me and let me


    finish what I have to say."


    "What do you have to say?" Freddy was the one in the wrong, but Adrienne couldn''t hit him at the


    moment, so she could only vent her anger on Jefferson. She once again pinched Jefferson


    forcefully as she spoke.


    Not only did Jefferson not get angry with her, he even gently caressed her head as he replied, "I


    don''t think the matter is as simple as it seems. Freddy told me that on the night of the incident, he


    was drinking. He got so wasted that he didn''t even know how he got into the room. He only


    discovered that there was a naked woman at his side when he woke up."


    Drinking!


    Got wasted!


    The words that came out of Jefferson''s mouth made Adrienne feel guilty.
