What on earth was going on?
Everyone looked at me each other and glanced at Freya, Hayden, and the beautiful women.
In addition to doubts, there was more gossip.
Hayden knew that he could not let Maura mislead the crowd. Otherwise, the rumors in the village would push Freya and her parents into hell.
So he immediately refuted Maura, saying,
“I have already proposed to call off the engagement. You are not my fianc?e. My fianc?e is only Freya!”
Maura didn’t expect that Hayden would deny it so directly. She could no longer maintain elegance.
“You get engaged with me. Now, you want to call off the engagement at will. Hayden, I’m not the one to be bullied!”
The short conversation made the onlookers guess that Hayden and that woman named Maura were an unmarried couple.
In this case, Freya’s situation was embarrassing.
Then, those villagers who were jealous of Freya for finding a wealthy boyfriend began to ridicule her.
“I thought she was a rich man’s girlfriend. It turned out that she’s just a mistress!”
“It’s no wonder that rumors spread all over the city. It turns out that she is both an assistant and a mistress. She hooked up with her superior and slept with him!”
Those villagers did not lower their voices. They deliberately discussed loudly. Their sarcastic words and laughter reached Freya and her parents’ ears.
Duncan and Maeve were embarrassed, let alone Freya.
She stood there frustrated, like an abandoned puppy, looking dazed and at a loss.
Seeing Freya’s expression, Hayden knew that she was very hurt.
He explained,
“Freya and I have been together since college. It’s my fault. I got engaged to another woman behind her back and still loved her. But in the end, I found that she is my only love. So I intend to call off the engagement and marry her…”
Hayden blamed himself for all the faults, making the crowd puzzled. At the same time, Maura felt extremely embarrassed.
She yelled at Hayden hysterically,
“Hayden, why did you treat me like this for that woman? She is just a farmer’s daughter!”
Maura still wanted to say something, but Duncan hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her.
“If you have anything to say, find a place and talk to Hayden.”
Hayden knew that Duncan didn’t want the villagers to listen to gossip and didn’t want Freya to be hurt by these contemptuous remarks.
He hurriedly said,
“Okay. I’ll find a place to talk to Maura first. Duncan, please take Freya home with
Maeve first. She drank a lot tonight, and she will feel uncomfortable.”
Hayden wanted to hold Freya’s hand and tell her a few words, but Freya looked very sad. She dragged her parents away without even looking back.
Seeing this, Hayden dragged Maura to the nearby river to talk. It was cold there.
The crowd saw that the main characters of this gossip left, and there were no interesting things to watch, so they left.
The river still ran in winter.
The cold wind blew, bringing the smell of damp and green grass.
Maura stood by the cold river. She didn’t like this smell and hated the damp and cold temperature here.
But what was colder than her body was her heart.
Hayden brought her here and asked coldly,
“What the hell do you want and then agree to break off our engagement?”
Maura was annoyed.
“I said I would not agree. It was you who decided to get engaged to me at first.
Even if you regret it, you can’t call it off. I won’t let you abandon me.”
“We will not be happy if we get married.”
Hayden never expected that Maura had such a crazy side.
“I don’t care. I want to be with you all my life!”
Maura stared at Hayden. She looked almost mad.
“But I don’t want to be with you. If you want any compensation, just say it. I will give it to you if I can do it.”
Hayden’s words angered Maura.
“Why do you want to be with Freya? Am I not as good as her? I am more beautiful and capable than her! And my family background is many times better than hers!”
Hayden shook his head, then looked at the cold moonlight in the sky.
“Actually, liking someone is not because of how perfect she is. She is the only one in my heart, and I want to see her when I wake up every day.”
Hayden persuaded Maura earnestly, saying,
“Maura, you will meet such a man one day. He will wish to give you the best in the world every day. But that person is not me. Do you understand?”
But Maura said,
“I don’t want anyone else! I only want you! Hayden, I only want you!”
Others thought Hayden chose Maura. But in fact, Maura had a crush on him many years ago. When Hayden and the Gollust family said that they wanted to make connections with the Chambers family through marriage, Maura was very excited. So even after Donny investigated and told her that Hayden’s first love still stayed with him, and the relationship between the two was ambiguous, Maura still agreed to be engaged to Hayden. Although she found out Hayden had a relationship with Freya after she got engaged, she didn’t show anything. She thought she had enough time to win Hayden’s attention.
Unexpectedly, before her happiness started, Hayden stopped But Maura knew that Hayden was determined to leave her today. It would be futile to continue the conversation.
“You’ll regret what you did to me today!”
Maura said this and left quickly. Hayden thought Maura figured it out, so he didn’t think too much and went back to the Mcbride House. At this time, Duncan and Maeve were in the living room. Freya lowered her head with a guilty look. Hayden quickly explained the matter between him and Maura to them,
“It’s not Freya’s fault. I don’t want to let her go.”
He said and tried to hold Freya’s hand, but Freya pushed him away, so he tried again until Freya no longer broke free from his hand. Freya’s parents didn’t speak during that process. Seeing Hayden hold Freya’s hand, Duncan finally spoke.
“Hayden, we’ll talk about your relationship with Freya after you have settled those matters.”
“But…”
Hayden was worried that Duncan didn’t want him to be with Freya anymore. But Duncan said,
“You’d better solve those things first. Otherwise, the outsiders will discuss Freya. I don’t want my daughter to be called a mistress.”
Hayden wanted to say something more, but he knew Duncan and Maeve Mcbride couldn’t accept Maura’s relationship with him. In the end, he could only say,
“Well. I’ll go home tomorrow and solve these matters.”
Duncan and Maeve’s mood was ups and downs today. They were tired and soon went back to their room to sleep. Hayden hurriedly followed Freya back to her room as soon as they left.
“Freya, are you still angry with me? Don’t be angry, okay? I’ll come back to you as soon as I settle these matters.”
He hugged Freya from behind. But Freya said,
“If I got angry with you every day, I would have died of anger. I was sad and self~condemned. I caused my parents to suffer these rumors.”
Hayden turned Freya to look at him and said,
“Freya, I promise you.
After I settle everything well, I won’t let such a thing happen again.”
He continued,
“I suddenly had an idea after I saw the fish raised by your father in the past two days. I plan to build an ecological farm in this village and sell the wheat and fish to other cities.”
That night, Hayden hugged Freya and didn’t do anything.
He said many things, including the matters he would deal with and his plans for his career.
“Tomorrow, I will quit as the general manager of the Gollust Group and hand over everything.
“I have some savings over the years and plan to invest some money in the village to build an ecological garden.
Some are open to people in the city to visit and experience rural life, and some are used to plant green food and sell agricultural products to the city.
“In addition, I plan to start e-commerce. This business in New York has the best development prospects, so I plan to go to New York to implement this business.
“When the e-
commerce is ready, I need you to inspect…”
Freya knew that Hayden worked hard to build their future and tried his best to connect everything with her, trying to make her feel involved and have confidence in their future. She leaned in his arms and was full of expectations about their future. Early the next morning, Hayden was about to leave. When Freya sent him away, she still cried.
“Freya, trust me. I will never leave you alone again.”
Hayden held her tightly and promised.
“! know,”
Freya said. Tears fell down her cheeks. But no matter how hopeful Hayden promised, they knew their future was full of obstacles. Not to mention other things, the Gollust family alone was a big challenge to Hayden. Brian put a lot of effort into grooming Hayden these years.
He would never let his son marry a country girl, who had no help to Hayden’s career. What was more, his son even decided to give up everything he owned for that country girl. So Hayden would face a great challenge after he returned to the Gollust family. In addition, his road to entrepreneurship was not that easy.
“Can Hayden withstand these pressures and stick to our love?”
The more Freya thought, the more she felt their future was bleak. She wanted to go back with Hayden to overcome these difficulties, but her parents didn’t let her go with him. Hayden was a treasured son of his parents, and Freya was their dear daughter. They would not let Freya go back with Hayden and be hurt by the Gollust family. What would Freya do if Hayden couldn’t bear the pressure from his family and finally chose to inherit his family business? So this time, Duncan and Maeve did not compromise. Freya felt even more helpless.
“Don’t be afraid. I will make a video call with you every night.
Freya, trust me, okay?
“By the way, I prepared a gift for you and put it at the bedside. Go home and remember to open it.”
Under Hayden’s comfort, Freya finally stopped crying. She tried her best to smile and watched Hayden leave. But she burst into tears when he left. In the end, she had the strength to walk back to the room only by wanting to see what gift Hayden had prepared for her.
The gift Hayden prepared was a small USB flash disk.
Freya turned on the computer and found that the contents in the USB flash disk were her group photos from dating to the present and their individual photos of each other. Some were taken on campus, and a few were taken together in their graduation caps. As time went by, their outfits in these photos gradually became mature, and their appearance began to fade away from youthfulness. Among them were a few photos taken in the village recently. In these few photos, Hayden’s smile was obviously brighter than when they were in the city and on campus. Freya thought it should be why Hayden gave her these photos as gifts.
