Chapter 376
Freya lowered her gaze and remained silent. From the moment she found out she was pregnant until the explosion occurred, she had no intention of revealing that Jolly was Radley’s child.
Naturally, Jolly had Freya’s last name, but according to tradition in Florin, the child’s last name was usually taken from the father. Now that Freya had planned to reconcile with Radley, it was only natural to change Jolly’s last name back to Monaghan.
Freya didn’t mind this. She was just about to suggest changing the child’s last name when Rosie, on the opposite side, put down her fork and knife.
“Jovius Kaufmann. It has a nice ring to it.”
Freya was a little surprised.
She turned around and noticed that Daniella’s expression didn’t change, so she looked at Radley.
Radley’s expression was calm. “Yes, it’s not bad for Jolly to have the same last name as Frey. The next child can bear the Monaghan name.”
Freya thought. The next child?!
After dinner, Radley and Freya returned to Smalzot Yard, while Jolly stayed at the Monaghans’ mansion
When they arrived at Smalzot Yard, it was already 8 p.m. Looking at the time, Freya realized that it wasn’t reasonable to pack up and leave Smalzot Yard today.
She thought for a moment and decided to pack up after meeting Brandon tomorrow.
Freya was now staying in the master bedroom, which was right next to Radley’s room.
After bidding farewell to Radley and returning to her bedroom, Freya freshened up and then went to the study.
She had been secretly investigating the LEV organization, so she planned to continue her investigations today.
She had just turned on her computer when a push notification popped up in the bottom right corner. Freya clicked on it. It was about a fragrance brand from the Monaghan Group.
Frowning, she clicked in and read the article. Since Jolly’s accident, she had no interest in anything else. She had even forgotten about the perfume brand that she and the Monaghan Group had established.
The news article on the website stated that the Monaghan Group’s perfume brand had been finalized, and Freya was appointed as the director.
Freya hadn’t done anything recently, and Radley had arranged all the trivial work before establishing the brand.
Thinking that, Freya realized that she hadn’t checked on Leah for a while.
But with Radley around, everything should be well arranged.
Freya had been browsing through the internal networks of various countries these days, quietly accessing them and searching for information about the LEV organization, and then leaving quietly.
It was already 11 p.m. when she returned to her bedroom.
The next day.
At 8 a.m.. after breakfast, Freya and Radley set off for Brandon’s residence.
The atmosphere in the car was a little suggestive. Freya squinted her eyes and ignored Radley.
Radley had been force-feeding her during breakfast. She was dissatisfied, so she bit his finger.
Unexpectedly, instead of reacting in pain, Radley moved his finger in a circle within her mouth.
Freya thought. Tsk, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Mr. Monaghan, who appears cold in the eyes of others, is a pervert in reality.
When the car pulled up at the entrance of the alley, Freya was still secretly cursing Radley in her mind.
“Frey?”
“Hm?” Freya returned to her senses and met Radley’s smiling eyes. “We’ve arrived.”
She turned to look at the traditional courtyard outside and pursed her lips. “Let’s get out.”
She undid her seatbelt and was about to move when the person beside her pulled her over to him.
“What were you thinking just now?” Radley’s voice was deep and charming. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Judging by the tone in his voice, Freya knew right away that he had no good intentions. She leaned back, blushing.
“Nothing.”
Freya didn’t explain anything, but Radley seemed to be in a good mood.
He got out of the car and opened the door for Freya..
The two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard and knocked on the door. Soon, someone answered the door.
When Trisha saw them, her face lit up in joy. “You’re here, Frey. And you too, Radley.”
Freya had a sweet smile on her face. “Hello, Mrs. Lane!
“Come in, come in.” Trisha opened the door and let the two of them in. She also shouted into the courtyard, “Honey, Frey and Radley are here.”
There was a thatched pavilion in a corner of the courtyard. Brandon was carving wood there. When he looked up and saw Freya coming in, he snorted and ignored them.
Freya smiled, then stubbornly walked over to Brandon.
“What are you doing, Master?”
Brandon still ignored her.
Freya’s face drooped as she said pitifully, “Master, I was too busy recently, so I haven’t been coming here for lessons. Please don’t be angry.”
“You’re responsible for your skills, so what does that have to do with me?” Brandon’s reply was short.
Trisha stood behind Radley and Freya with a smile. “You set up a mortise-tenon learning exhibition hall last time, right? Brandon is now the curator, and he’s busy managing the exhibition items every day.”
With that, Trisha turned to look at Brandon.
Her smile remained gentle, but her voice softened a little more. “Brandon. Lane.”
Her soft voice made Brandon suddenly raise his head and cough lightly.
“Since you’re here, do have a seat.” With that, he cautiously glanced at his wife.
Trisha was finally satisfied with his performance. Smiling, she said, “They’re probably having difficulty managing the family business and dealing with so many things. You’re just childish.”
This time, Brandon didn’t dare to argue.
Trisha gently stroked Freya’s hair and said, “I’ll prepare some delicious food for you.”
Ereya sat on a stool, looking obedient as she said, “Mrs. Lane, we have already eaten.”
I’ll go prepare some dishes for lunch. You guys can chat first.”
Thinking of the matters to be discussed later, Freya didn’t stop her.
After Trisha left, Brandon regained his arrogance.
He glared at Freya and said, “Oh, now you’re here. I thought you had forgotten about your master!”
Freya smiled and said, “Master, please don’t be angry with me. I’ve brought a huge gift as compensation. for you and Mrs. Lane.”
Brandon
put down the tools in his hand and asked, “What gift?”
“You mentioned that Mrs. Lane had planted several pear trees in the Vincents’ castle in Lagresh, right?”
“Yes, but what about it? Are you moving the pear trees here or something?” Brandon asked.
Freya smiled and shook her head, saying, “That’s not a difficult task, but I have something else in mind. You and Mrs. Lane have been staying in Caltun for a long time. Mrs. Lane had lived in Lagresh for over
a decade, so maybe she missed it there. So, I plan to send both of you on a one-month trip to Lagresh. I will cover all the expenses.”
Freya said playfully, “When you come back, I will also move those pear trees back here. What do you
think?”
Brandon didn’t say anything.
“One month?” He looked up at Freya.
Freya thought about the matters of the LEV organization. They were so well-hidden that even if she was determined to risk everything, it might not be possible for her to complete everything in one month.
It one month is too short for you, we can also do three or six months, Freya said
Beside th
Radley frowned
Brandon put down the teacup he had just picked up and said, “Tell me, what exactly happened to you?
Freya’s heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained unchanged. “What do you mean?”
Brandon stared at Freya. The old man’s stubborn and unyielding expression had disappeared. There was an aura around him instead.
“Don’t hide anything from me. I may be old, but I’m still capable,” he said.
