Chapter 64
Freya fell into a long silence. She spoke vaguely, “Regret and not regret.”
In the current situation, she did have a bit of regret. If it weren’t for that impulsive and unwilling moment, she wouldn’t have to desperately try to escape from here because of the child in her belly. Without that night, she would have been a step closer to her dream. She could have done her internship at the General Hospital, become a formal doctor, and achieved her dream. If it weren’t for that night, she wouldn’t have any guilt towards Elijah. As a wife, she did indeed commit adultery.
“If you didn’t have the child in your belly, maybe you could…”
“I don’t regret it because of this child. Initially, I wanted to abort it, but it grew slowly in my belly. I could feel its heartbeat. Gradually, I couldn’t bear to, and I loved this child more and more. Now, I even feel like it’s an angel sent to me by God.”
Orion shook his head. “Humans are emotional beings. A child without a father, I don’t understand why you insist on giving birth. To be honest, you still have time to abort now.”
“Orion, if you say that again, I’ll be angry.” Freya touched her belly, as if afraid the child would hear.
“Alright, I won’t say it. But can you think of a sensible way? Don’t provoke Elijah so much.”
Freya scratched her head, “Liora and Elijah seemed to have a relationship. I thought…”
“It’s getting late, I have work. If there’s anything, call me.” Orion said.
Freya nodded, then, as if she remembered something, she asked, “How did Elijah know that I was helping Liora pursue him?”
“I don’t know.” Orion replied.
Freya made a sound of acknowledgment. After parting with Orion, she went to the dance studio.
Mrs Quinn said there were no classes today and invited her to go shopping. Freya wanted to refuse, but Mrs Quinn, enthusiastic and mentioning the matter of helping her husband secure an investment, managed to convince her to go to the mall. It had been a long time since she went shopping.
Seeing a baby store, she couldn’t help but want to go in. Thinking about it, her body moved accordingly.
Baby products were exquisite and adorable–small strollers, tiny clothes, little bottles, and toys that could melt one’s heart.
“It should be pregnant moms like these, right?” Mrs Quinn said, looking at Freya holding a tiny baby outfit.
Freya suddenly realized she was looking at baby products. She quickly smiled, “I have a friend who’s pregnant. I want to buy a gift for her baby.”
“Oh, that’s nice. You should choose carefully.”
Once she said that, Freya couldn’t help but buy. So, she bought a baby product gift box containing various baby items-exquisite and beautifully packaged.
“Your friend will surely like it.” Mrs Quinn said.
Freya smiled. In her heart, she wondered if it would be suitable for her own child. Because she didn’t know if it was a boy or a girl. The pink outfit was obviously for a girl.
Mrs Quinn bought clothes and then took her to a jewelry store. She wanted to buy something for Freya, to thank her for helping last time.
Freya couldn’t accept it. She already received her salary and she wouldn’t accept anything beyond that.
They ate outside before returning. Mrs Quinn offered to drive her, but she didn’t want to trouble anyone and said she could take a taxi.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Today, Freya didn’t have to work, so it was a bit early to go home. She decided to take a stroll alone outside. After all, there was nothing to do when she got home. She walked alone along the road. The traffic was bustling, but her heart was a bit lost.
“Freya Stone.”
Suddenly, a familiar woman’s voice sounded. Freya followed the voice and saw a red car parked on the side of the road. Inside was Liora Valentine, smiling, “Are you okay?”
Freya had a bad premonition.
She stared at her.
“Did you tell Elijah that I was helping you pursue him?”
Liora thought, a man she couldn’t get shouldn’t be allowed to be happy with Freya. If she wasn’t happy, Freya and Elijah shouldn’t be happy.
“Yes, I said it,” she smiled. “Isn’t what I said the truth?”
Freya didn’t show hysteria or anger in front of her. She was extremely calm because she knew what kind of person Liora was from the beginning.
If it weren’t for being pregnant, she would have to leave Elijah. She wouldn’t have cooperated with Liora.
“A person like you will never succeed.” After saying that, Freya took big steps away.
Liora expected Freya to be furious. But she was so calm. She couldn’t stand Freya’s arrogance. Therefore, Liora pushed open the car door and got out.
Freya heard the sound of the car door closing and turned to see her walking towards her. She took a few steps back.
“Freya, you’re really annoying. You always act so high and mighty. What do you have to be proud of?” Liora gritted her teeth, as if tearing Freya’s face.
Freya didn’t want to entangle with her here. “It’s not that I’m arrogant. It’s just that you feel ignored and want to find a sense of existence. Your jealousy is so obvious, it’s really unpleasant. Do you know why? Because women like you, no matter how beautiful you are, it’s just surface level. Inside, you’re rotten.”
“You…” Liora was furious, trembling.
Perhaps it was because Freya hit the nail on the head regarding her character, which made her angry.
“You better cultivate yourself well and be a good person if you want people to like you.” Said Freya. After saying that, she turned and left quickly. She didn’t want to be entangled with Liora here.
However, Liora couldn’t swallow this. She rushed forward, grabbed Freya’s hair from behind, and said, “Don’t think about leaving.”
Freya’s body was forced to step back, her hands dropping everything she held. Liora attacked from behind, and Freya couldn’t counterattack. For a while, Freya was very passive.
“Liora, let go of me!”
“I won’t let go.”
While speaking, she even wanted to scratch Freya’s face. Freya cleverly avoided it, but Liora’s nails scraped her neck.
“Freya, you finally fell into my hands once, right?”
Liora was happy to be in control for once.
“Let her go!”
Elijah had received a message from the monitor that Freya was being beaten. He happened to be nearby and rushed over. What he saw was Freya being pulled by her hair, in a pitiful state without the ability to fight back.
Liora turned around, and upon seeing Elijah. Froze, she uttered, “E-Elijah…”
