He hoped she could know that this kind of life was what he yearned for the most, and it also made him the most relaxed and comfortable, and he wouldn’t leave her. After watching these photos, Freya’s mood calmed down a lot. When Hayden called her at night, she could even smile at him.
“Freya, why are you smirking?”
Hayden might be in his room, and the surroundings were quiet.
“It’s nothing. You look so silly in these photos, and I was amused,”
Freya said.
“You’re stupid too. From college to now, you’re still a silly girl!”
While coaxing Freya, Hayden didn’t forget to say sweet words, tempting her not to give up on him. He said,
“Keep these photos for me. I will use them at our wedding and tell everyone we are the happiest couple from school to marriage. I want them to envy us.”
Freya wrinkled her nose and said shyly,
“Humph! Who is going to marry you?”
Unexpectedly, Hayden smiled evilly and asked,
“If you don’t want to marry me, why did you agree to give me a baby?”
Freya thought of the crazy night and blushed uncontrollably. Fearing that Hayden would tease her, she quickly changed this subject.
“How about you? Did your family embarrass you?”
Hayden said,
“It’s better than expected.”
At least his father didn’t force him to marry Maura. He just said to let him find someone who was matched for marriage. But Hayden refused and even proposed resigning from the position of general manager of the Gollust Group. Brian was furious. Brian also said,
“I thought you were the most like me among my children. To achieve success, you would take advantage of anyone or anything. But in the end, you decided to give up everything you have for that country girl!”
When Brian was young, he fell in love with a woman, Mabel Deleon. But Mabel’s family background was not good, so the Gollust family did not accept her. Brian could only accept the engagement arranged by his family and keep a secret relationship with Mabel. To win a project, he even sent Mabel to a business partner’s bed who liked her. Mabel collapsed when she knew what had happened. But Brian promised he would treat her better if she continued to stay with him. Things didn’t go as he expected. No woman could accept the man she loved to take advantage of her. Not long after that matter, Mabel left him. He didn’t get any news of her for decades. Brian put his attention to his family. But when he was drunk, he would stay in the study and secretly watch Mabel’s photo. He never regretted his decision. He would only feel sad when he was drunk. He had long known about Hayden and Freya’s relationship. So he always felt that Hayden was the younger clone of him, who could do anything for benefit. They were the most suitable for doing business.
Brian planned to hand over all the Gollust family’s business to Hayden after he married a suitable woman. But he didn’t expect Hayden to back down at such a critical period. How could he not be angry?
Hayden told Brian,
“Dad, I don’t want to be like you to live the rest of my life with regrets and pain.”
“Regret? Pain? I don’t have it!”
Brian was furious, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Hayden said,
“I saw the photo of the woman hidden in your study. My mom should have seen it too. We knew you would look at that photo in the study when you get drunk.”
Brian paused for a moment but quickly came to his senses.
“That photo is just a symbol of the good memory of my youth. I just look at it occasionally. It doesn’t mean that I regret it.”
He didn’t regret how he treated Mabel back then. Otherwise, the rest of his life would have been a joke. B
“It’s good if you don’t regret it. I wanted to tell you that I saw a woman who was very similar to the woman in the photo…”
Hayden continued,
“But I guess you don’t want to see her either.”
Brian froze.
“Hayden saw a woman very similar to Mabel! Could that be Mabel? Is she still in this city? How come I haven’t heard from her for so many years?”
Brian thought in surprise. But after a while, he calmed down, thinking Hayden was lying to him.
He said coldly,
“I don’t want to see her. I am different from you. After all, I will never give up my career for a woman.”
Hearing what he said, Hayden smiled.
“Okay, since you don’t want to see her, there’s no need for me to tell you what I’ve investigated.”
Hayden thought the conversation was meaningless, so he returned to his room and made a video call with Freya. He felt at ease when he saw Freya’s smiling face.
“From tomorrow on, I have to deal with some taking over work and meet a few entrepreneurs in New York. I may be busy in the coming days. But don’t worry. I will make a video call with you when I finish my work.”
Hayden did what he said. No matter how late he was busy every night, he would make a video call and chat with Freya.
What Freya looked forward to the most was the video call from Hayden. But she could see that Hayden’s eyes were getting tired gradually. Occasionally, he would fall asleep before chatting for a few minutes with her. Hayden was fighting for their future, and Freya didn’t want to be idle. She used the funds invested by Hayden to start ecological agriculture in the village. According to Hayden’s previous idea, Freya packaged the agricultural products and invited two well-
known online celebrities to start live sales. Many villagers initially questioned the construction of ecological agriculture, and some people even opposed it. Freya didn’t argue with them. She started selling the fish her father raised, and the live-streaming background was the fishpond. Then, they used the method of placing an order in the live room and catching and packing immediately, which attracted many netizens to watch and place orders. A week later, the first batch of buyers gave feedback, saying that the products sold in this live room were good, the fish was much fresher than the supermarket”s, and the taste was also good. With the promotion of customers, the live room attracted many netizens. Time passed quickly. At the very beginning, no one was interested in the live room. But a month later, the live-streaming had been watched by countless netizens, and the supply exceeded demand. The Mcbride family relied on the income from the live-streaming and suddenly became the family with the most substantial income in the village. Other villagers learned that the Mcbride family had earned money that would take them several years to make in a short time, and they also began to believe in Freya’s promotion and sales model. They signed consignment contracts with her and let their agricultural products be sold in the live room. There were no middlemen to earn the price spread. The live sales doubled the villagers”
income.
After the municipal government heard the news, they sent an interview team to do an interview program for Freya. Freya wanted to tell Hayden this news, but he hadn’t contacted her for two days. She finally couldn’t help waiting for his call, so she made a video call. But she didn’t expect that Hayden would reject her call.
Upon seeing her video call request being rejected, Freya felt dejected.
“Freya, I made some chicken soup for you. You should eat it quickly. You’ve been looking thin lately.”
As Maeve brought the chicken soup, she noticed Freya staring at her phone absentmindedly and could guess what was going on. In fact, Maeve wasn’t very optimistic about Freya’s relationship with Hayden. It wasn’t that she thought Hayden didn’t love Freya enough, but she felt that the gap between their families was too huge. Love could be between two individuals, but marriage was about two families. If one side was never fully accepted by the other family, there would be a growing distance between the couple over time. Even though Freya never mentioned it, Maeve could still sense that Hayden’s contact with Freya had been decreasing lately.
The smile on Freya’s face was gradually fading. Maeve had advised Freya many times about this. But she was now worried that bringing it up again would only make Freya feel worse. So she tried to persuade her to eat something nutritious instead. However, Freya wasn’t very interested in the chicken soup, but she didn’t want to disappoint her mother, so she took a few sips. As soon as she had the first sip of the soup, Freya felt her stomach turning upside down. She quickly swallowed it and took several deep breaths to calm herself.
“What’s wrong, Freya?”
Maeve quickly noticed that Freya didn’t look well and gently touched her forehead.
“I’m fine. Just a bit hot! I’ll drink it later…”
Freya hurriedly replied.
“Well, make sure to finish it. I’ll go help your dad. If you’re tired, you should rest at home today and not go to the fish farm for work.”
Maeve was concerned about Freya but also worried about Duncan, who was busy at the fish farm. Lately, their fish had gained a great reputation on the live streams, and the sales were exceptionally hot. They had already started pre-selling fish for the next year, so Duncan had brought in a new batch of fish fry and was meticulously taking care of them, working tirelessly at the fish farm for days. Previously, Freya used to help Duncan at the fish farm, handle online orders, and sort out sales issues. Maeve thought Freya might be feeling unwell due to exhaustion, so she insisted that Freya shouldn’t work at the fish farm today. Freya had initially wanted to help at the fish farm, but the thought of the upset stomach earlier and the night she had returned with Hayden, where he pleaded for her to have a child with him, flashed in her mind…
Suddenly, Freya wondered if she might be pregnant. The thought worried her, and she became hesitant to go to the fish farm for help. After Maeve left, Freya stared at the bow!
of chicken soup, conflicted for a long time. In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to drink it and poured it down the toilet. In the evening, Hayden finally sent a video call request.
“Freya, what did you want to talk to me about earlier? I was busy at the time and couldn’t answer.*”
Hayden seemed to be at a party, dressed in a suit, with evident redness around his eyes, indicating that he had had quite a few drinks. At this moment, Freya had already forgotten what she wanted to tell Hayden earlier and was preoccupied with thoughts about whether she might be pregnant. But they had only been intimate twice without using protection, so it was unlikely she could be pregnant so quickly. Freya decided that she should buy a pregnancy test and have a serious talk with Hayden after confirming whether she was pregnant or not…
So, Freya didn’t bring up those questions.”I’m just curious about what you’re up to. Are you feeling okay after drinking so much alcohol?”
“I came to New York today and heard that Mr. Serrano is working on some electronic products. I want to see if there’s achance for collaboration.”Hayden just said that he wanted to see if there was a chance for collaboration, which stirred mixed emotions in Freya.In the past, Hayden used to be determined and relentless in achieving his goals.
But today…
Seeing him like this, Freya also felt uneasy.”How about I go with you?”When she was Hayden’s assistant before, she would help him with whatever she could, including investigating potential promising future collaboration of companies.Sometimes, she would accompany Hayden to businessmeetings and even drink with them to please the partners.Freya understood that achieving collaboration immediately without the Gollust Group’s support would be challenging.But she thought that being there to support Hayden, chatting with him when facing problems, and helping him overcome difficulties would be better than having Hayden fight alone.Hayden replied,
“No need, you stay at home and keep your parents company.
You just need to wait for me. I’ll come backsoon.”Hayden smiled at Freya, but he couldn’t hide his exhaustion.”But I…”
Freya wanted to persuade Hayden to agree andshare her earlier thoughts.However, Hayden interrupted her before she could finish her sentence,
“Freya, I don’t want you to work as hard as before.”He didn’t know how to cherish Freya in the past, so he alwaystook her to business negotiations.But Freya was very beautiful, so those people would always pay more attention to her.Several times, people from collaborating companies evensuggested that they would sign the contract immediately if Freya spent a night with them.Although Hayden had always rejected those awfulpropositions, looking back now, asking Freya to accompany those people and drink with them was also disrespectful toher.At that time, Freya must have been very upset.So, this time, no matter what, Hayden didn’t want her to be sad again.Just as Hayden was trying to say this, a few people came over to greet him, so he hurriedly ended the video call.However, after thinking it over, Freya still felt that she shouldgo and help Hayden.Otherwise, judging by Hayden’s exhausted appearance just now, she was genuinely worried that he might get sick fromoverworking.Freya was someone who took action, and she packed her luggage that afternoon.Duncan and Maeve looked at her suitcases and knew thatFreya couldn’t wait any longer.But they also knew that trying to stop her from going at this time would only hurt her.So, in the end, Duncan and Maeve said to her,
“We agree thatyou should go find Hayden, but Freya, you must take care of yourself. If Hayden still can’t Sa they 10)
happiness oy want time, then chrrie back home. Even if you neverplan to get married, we will continueto be there for you. This home will always be a place where you can liveat any time.”
Freya knew her father said thesethings out of concern, fearing haher feelings wittrHajded over theyears might lead to extremely bad outcomes if things didn’t work out.Freya cried, tears streaming down her face, and Duncan and Maeve’s eyes were also filled with tears.That afternoon, Rose drove anelectric motorcycle to take ejthe towqtp eaten Bidets the airport wher she unexpectedly found Freya retchin
After the scolding phone call from Hayden, Rose no longer blamed others.
She and her husband had started making money and improving their lives.
Taking action had proven to be the best solution to alleviateanxiety in this couple.During this period, Rose could clearly feel that the food ontheir dining table became more abundant, and even theirrelationship improved significantly.Moreover, they noticed the successful ecological agriculture project run by Freya.
They began selling the produce and livestock from their home in Freya’s live stream, increasingtheir income two or threefold.Their lives started thriving, and Rose realized that Hayden’swords were absolutely right.So, recently, she and her husband had brought many gifts and gone to apologize to Duncan and Maeve in person.After the conflict with the Yoris family was completelyresolved, Rose and Freya’s relationship also grew closer.When Freya was going to the airport this time, Rosevolunteered to send her.However, Rose didn’t expect to see Freya retching in therestroom.She quickly fetched a glass of water and squatted down topat Freya’s back gently.”Freya, are you feeling unwell? Maybe you shouldn’t leavetoday!”
“It’s alright, Rose. I just have some stomach discomfort…
“Though it took some time, Freya finally eased a bit, but her face was still pale.
“Did you catch a cold, or did you eat something wrong?”
as Rose asked, a scene suddenly came to her mind, and she added,
“Wait, are you pregnant?”Freya froze.Actually, she had thought about this possibility this morning and planned to buy a pregnancy test.However, because of the video call from Hayden, she hadn’thad a chance to think about it further.Seeing Freya’s expression freeze, Rose was almost certain about her guess.
“When I was pregnant before, I had the same symptoms. Have you been to the hospital for a check-up?”
Rose helped Freya sit on the couch and offered her a candy.”No, I haven’t had time yet. It’s probably nothing. I’ve had stomach discomfort before,”
Freya said.”Still, it’s better to find time to go to the hospital for a check-up. And you shouldn’t exert yourself too much during the first three months of pregnancy. Why don’t you stay today, and we can figure it out after you’ve had the check-up.”
Rose was concerned that if Freya went rushing around nowand had an accident, she might miscarry.”No need. I don’t think it’s anything serious.”Freya thought that it had been a long time since her last bout of nausea, and if it were pregnancy-related, it would probably happen more frequently.
Moreover, she and Hayden only made love twice withoutusing any condoms, so she couldn’t get pregnant all of asudden.”Rose, could you take me to the lqwn first? If I don’t cave Rdw, I might miss my flight.”Unable to resist Freya’s persuasion, Rose finally decided todrive her to the town on an electric motorcycle.Considering the possibility of Freya’s pregnancy, Rose chose asmooth route.After more than four hours of travel, Freya finally arrived inNew York.The moment she got off the plane, she called Hayden, but hedidn’t answer.Freya had no choice but to call Hayden’s secretary to askabout his whereabouts.After thinking for a moment, Freyafound a hotel near aig m charge a a ning gown, and harried to the party.
The banquet was held to celebrate the Hansen Group’s success in securing a multinational mega-project, so those attending were not just people from New York but also influential figures from all over the country.
As a result, newcomers like Hayden from a newly established company seemed rather inconspicuous amidst the crowd.
Nonetheless, Hayden tried his best to maintain a smile, greeted many people, and attempted to network, hoping it would benefit his company’s development.
What he didn’t expect was to see Maura at the party.
Maura looked stunning in her fishtail dress, with her long curly hair swaying elegantly as she walked.
She was engaged in a conversation with someone when she suddenly looked up and locked eyes with Hayden.
Seeing her, Hayden nodded in acknowledgment.
After all, they were once engaged.
As long as Maura didn’t become too stubborn, Hayden believed they could still be friends.
However, he didn’t anticipate that Maura would approach him.
and clink glasses with him.
“Long time no see, Hayden.”
