Chapter 136 Scolded
They chatted for a while, and Hannah brought Radley over.
“Freya, thank you for coming to my birthday dinner today.”
Hannah stood in front of the sofa and smiled shyly.
Freya smiled back. “Happy birthday.”
She took out a bracelet from her bag. It was the birthday gift she prepared for Hannah.
Radley frowned when he saw the bracelet. “There’s no need for an expensive gift.”
Hannah was surprised, “Is this bracelet very expensive?”
The bracelet was picked by Freya from her own jewelry box. She never wore it before, and it was bought for her by Braxton at an auction before.
It was valuable, and when Freya took it out, she thought of it as a way to repay Radley for his care toward her during their time in Lagresh.
“It’s not expensive. You take it, she said. “After all, our two families are now business partners. It’s only right that my gift is slightly better than others.
Hannah excitedly asked Melissa to help her put on the bracelet.
Freya scanned Radley. They hadn’t seen each other for several days. The man was dressed in a suit today and looked very noble.
He had deep eyebrows and a high nose bridge. His thin lips were tightly pursed.
His face was carved like a work of art. Although he was extremely handsome, the cold air between his eyebrows made it clear that he was not easy to mess with.
Their eyes met, and Freya’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She silently looked away.
The students from Evergreen University on the other side shouted, “Hannah!”
“Hannah, come over here! We’re all waiting for you!”
Hannah responded and turned to look at Freya. “Radley, please accompany Freya here. I’ll go over there.”
Radley nodded.
Freya awkwardly asked them to sit down.
She and Isabella sat on a sofa, while Radley and Matthew sat on another sofa opposite them.
The two men made them feel a bit awkward when they sat together.
Matthew was leaning on the sofa, looking relaxed, while Radley sat there with a noble demeanor and a slightly cold expression
These two men sat together but didn’t talk, and slowly, people around them noticed that
Everyone still remembered what happened between the Monaghan Group and the Hood Group not long ago. The two presidents sitting together right now was quite an eerie sight.
Freya silently tugged at Isabella’s sleeve, hoping she could help ease the tension in the atmosphere.
But Isabella was still angry and couldn’t be bothered about easing the tension in the atmosphere. She just kept drinking alone.
Freya gently rubbed her belly as she felt helpless.
Radley noticed and immediately asked the waiter to bring some juice in a gentle voice.
Matthew raised his eyebrows, with a hint of provocation in his tone. “Frey, how’s our baby doing recently? Is it causing you trouble?”
She glared at him. “It’s alright.”
“Have you done the prenatal examination? I’ll accompany you in a few days.”
The temperature in this space seemed to suddenly drop a few degrees.
She gritted her teeth. “No need!”
But Matthew was very happy. He was satisfied that he could make Radley angry.
Soon, someone came over to talk to Radley.
After two waves of people came to talk to him, Radley looked up and saw that Freya looked a bit tired.
He knew that she didn’t like this kind of occasion, and she didn’t like being disturbed.
He stood up. Tll come back later. If you need anything, just call me.”
Freya responded with a hum.
With his gaze on the table, he said, “Don’t drink red wine. Have some juice in moderation.”
This concern… seemed to have crossed a line.
She pursed her lips. “Okay.”
After a while, music started playing in the ballroom on one side of the hall. It was a waltz.
As the protagonist of tonight’s banquet, Hannah pulled Radley to accompany her in the first dance.
Some of the students from Evergreen University also entered the dance floor, and Darrell danced with a beautiful girl.
Freya watched the people on the dance floor with the juice that Radley gave her placed by her side.
Matthew smilingly asked, “What are you looking at? Do you want to dance?”
She rubbed her belly and said, “Nah. Forget it.”
After the first dance, Freya and Matthew talked about several projects that the Monaghan Group and the Hood Group were collaborating on recently
The second dance was a tango, and Freya found it a bit too noisy.
The low-spirited Isabella called out to Matthew. “Come on. Dance with me!”
Matthew was helpless and didn’t want to go, but he also understood Isabella’s personality. If he didn’t agree, he would skin him alive.
He looked at Freya.
“Go ahead” She smiled.
Watching Matthew and Isabella leaving. Freya leaned against the sofa alone.
Feeling a bit bored, she got up to go to the backyard to get some fresh air. When she passed the group of Evergreen University students, she heard a girl sarcastically say, “She’s pregnant and still out here seducing men. She’s really shameless, bringing shame to her family!”
Freya stopped in her tracks. Among the female guests present, she was the only one who was pregnant
now.
She turned to look at the girl who had spoken and found that the girl looked familiar. Hmm. From a family with some influence in Caltun
That girl glanced at Freya with a mocking smile on her face and then shifted her gaze away.
Freya looked to the side of the girl, and Darrell avoided her gaze.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. Thinking that these people were all from Evergreen University and in order to not make things difficult for Edward in the future, she decided not to say anything.
The girl thought that Freya was afraid and suddenly continued, “Hey, someone’s feeling guilty women like her who harm young men everywhere should get AIDS! Who knows, the child sh to might turn out just like her!”
Freya didn’t plan on arguing with anyone. She could ignore whatever anyone said. After all, the weren’t worth wasting her time fighting with.
But when she heard that, an unknown anger rose in her heart.
She turned around and went straight to sit among the students from Evergreen University. She s across from the girl.
The girl didn’t expect Freya to come over, and her face showed some disdain.
Next to her, Darrell gently pulled her hand and said, “Kaylee, stop talking”
As soon as Freya sat down, the students from Evergreen University were a bit at a loss because Freya had caused Cher to drop out of Evergreen University before!
The group of people didn’t speak much, and the atmosphere became very awkward.
But Freya didn’t feel it. She sat there comfortably and her gaze fell on Darrell. There was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
In the end, the girl named Kaylee had no choice but speak. “Miss Kaufmann, do you have any business
Freya’s eyes were indifferent and her voice cold. “No. I’m just sitting here for a while.”
Kaylee looked at Freya, then at Darrell. Her face darkened.
Is she sitting here with the intention of seducing Darrell?
