hapter 168 She Will Be the Only Bully
Freya was still slightly stunned because Radley could have easily avoided the attack. Even she could have easily dodged the attack despite being seven months pregnant.
Moreover, she had seen Radley’s combat skills before and knew he deliberately didn’t dodge the attack.
She pursed her lips,
“Freya?” Daniella urged.
Freya quickly reacted and smiled. Then, she looked at Rosie across from her, who nodded at her.
Feeling complicated feelings, Freya replied, “Yes.”
“Radley, you can’t mistreat Freya anymore, do you understand?” Daniella held Freya’s hand. “Look. She even has calluses on her hands from cooking for you every day!”
After speaking, she lowered her head and looked at Freya’s soft hands, a little confused. “Where are the calluses?”
Meanwhile, Freya fell silent. She had lost her memory, but she had been living a comfortable life in the Kaufmann Residence for the past six months since she woke up. Her mother and brother were unwilling to let her do any work, so how could there be calluses on her hands?
There were only some light calluses from holding a surgical knife, but they were barely visible on the side of her fingertips.
Radley looked at Freya’s hand with a deep gaze.
After she left him, she had been cherished like treasure by the Kaufmanns.
That was how she was treated before marrying him.
The only difficult time she had experienced in all her life must be when she married him.
Feeling a sharp pain in his heart, Radley turned pale.
“Grandma, don’t worry. From now on, she will be the only bully. I will never mistreat her.”
Freya was taken aback and looked up at the man.
Though Radley seemed to be coaxing Daniella, her heart trembled inexplicably because of that promise.
Daniella held Radley’s hand with one hand and Freya’s hand with the other, bringing their hands together.
A while later, she seemed dazed as she looked at Radley. “Radley, when did you come back?”
Freya took the opportunity to withdraw her hand.
After accompanying Daniella for dinner and putting her to sleep, Freya left the Monaghan Residence.
Radley came out to see her off, and Freya’s face fell. “I drove here, so you don’t have to send me off.”
The excessive intimacy made her feel an inexplicable sense of danger.
There seemed to be a whirlpool between her and Radley, and it was trying to pull her in.
Freya didn’t want to get involved with him, so she deliberately distanced herself.
Radley stood at the door, watching Freya leave, and then returned to the mansion.
In the meantime, Rosie was sitting in the living room. When she saw him coming in, she sighed softly.
“Radley, have a seat. I need to talk to you.”
Once he sat down, Rosic looked at her son with a serious expression, and her eyes turned red.
“Radley, Freya has been coming to see your grandma recently, and I have had more contact with her. She is indeed a good woman, and I can see that you have feelings for her-
She hesitated for a moment. “But, you are divorced now, and she is pregnant with someone else’s child. Have you thought this through?”
Looking calm, Radley spoke with determination. “She will be my only wife.”
A bitter expression appeared on Rosie’s face. It would have been so much better if he hadn’t divorced Freya because all of this wouldn’t have happened, and Freya wouldn’t have been pregnant with someone else’s child.
But all of this is also related to Danna.
And I allowed Danna to bully Freya.
Rosie’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.
She selfishly wanted her son to have his own child rather than directly becoming the father of someone else’s child.
But she couldn’t avoid her inner thoughts, nor could she ignore the mistakes she had made in the past, which led to her son’s subsequent emotional misfortune.
“Freya told your grandma that she won’t be able to come for a visit during the next half month.”
Rosie smiled when Radley looked up. “Freya is going to Vroria for half a month. Her grandmother, the old madam of the Marshall family, is about to have her birthday.”
Radley nodded. “I know.”
After a while, he looked at his mother. Thank you, Mom.
Radley didn’t stay at the mansion and went straight back to Smalzot Yard.
At 9 p
p.m. Connor and Radley’s trusted subordinates were called to work overtime at the Monaghan Group.
At Caltun Airport, Freya and Braxton boarded the plane.
Their seats were next to each other, and as soon as Freya got on the plane, she took out an eye mask and asked for a blanket to take a nap.
Braxton frowned. “It’s only a two-hour flight. You won’t be able to get much sleep?
After a lazy yawn, Freya complained, “Brax, you shouldn’t have booked a morning flight!”
“7 a.m. isn’t early. You’re just lazy.”
Freya didn’t say anything. As her belly grew larger, her body became increasingly tired, and she would still feel lethargic even though she slept for longer hours every day.
When the plane was about to land, Braxton woke her up.
The two of them walked out of the corridor and saw that the Marshalls had arrived to pick them up.
This time, many of them came, including their uncle, Noah Marshall, and aunt, Ashley Donnelly.
Freya happily ran out of the corridor and hugged Ashley first.
Ashley was in her forties and took good care of her health. Also, she spoke softly and kindly and was also smart and quick-witted.
In addition, Freya had always had a good relationship with her.
Bending over slightly, Ashley smiled gently. “Be careful of your baby bump.”
Noah pretended to be angry on the side but couldn’t hide the smile on his face. “Who is your biological uncle? How could you be closer to your aunt than me?”
That made Freya laugh. “Uncle Noah, are you jealous? But my aunt is beautiful and elegant, and I like her a lot.
Noah huffed in anger.
Freya laughed. “I miss you too, Uncle Noah.”
This time, it was Noah who laughed. “Come here and give your uncle a kiss.”
Ashley smiled and scolded, “Freya is all grown up. How can you still ask her for a kiss? Aren’t you afraid she might find it embarrassing?”
The group laughed and joked as they left the airport.
When they arrived at the car, Freya was surprised.
“Is this RV a bit too big?”
Noah chortled. “You’re pregnant, so your aunt insisted on using this car, saying it would be more comfortable for you to lie down on the way home.”
While clinging onto Ashley, Freya smiled brightly.
“Why didn’t my mom come with you?”
Ashley smiled. “Your mom is at home with your grandma. We can’t all come here at once, right? It’ll be time for the birthday banquet soon, and someone needs to be in charge of the preparations. I missed you so much, so your mom let me come and pick you up.”
Braxton smiled elegantly on the side. “I wanted to invite Melissa to come back with us, but she refused. She said she wanted to wait for Ryan. I think Ryan has things planned for today, so they will probably
return tomorrow.”
On the other hand, Noah sat opposite them and had a dark expression when his children were mentioned. “Those two little brats, one of them refuses to take over the Marshall family, and the other one runs to Caltun to study. They are such a pain!”
“If they are a pain, why do you keep mentioning them every day?” Ashley teased Noah.
On the way from the airport to the bustling city center of Vroria, Freya leaned against the car window and hummed a tune. “It’s been a long time since I’ve returned to Vroria. This feels great.”
Vroria and Caltun were both highly-developed cities but had very different architectural styles.
Since Vroria was also a popular tourist destination, many places still maintained the rustic styles from before but were constantly renovated. When Freya rebuilt the West Geft district in Caltun, she also took inspiration from Vroria.
The car quickly arrived at the Marshall Residence. The Marshall Residence was located in a very expensive coastal area in Vroria. The matriarch of the Marshall family, Sarah Burgess, loved planting. Therefore, the landscaping at the Marshall Residence was excellent, and even the exterior walls of the villa were covered with ivy. The entire estate was hidden among various green plants and vaguely visible.
