Chapter 2114

“Alright, then. Can you go to a movie with me after your dinner?” Ryan gazed at Freya with an
expression filled with anticipation. “A thriller started screening last night, and I really want to watch it.”

Freya had heard of the thriller Ryan mentioned as well. It seemed to have received many praises and
was a box-office hit.

However, leaving after having dinner with Jack on a festive day like that was not very polite. What if he
had arranged other activities?

“You don’t want to? It’s okay then.” Ryan sighed disappointedly and turned to leave after seeing that
Freya did not say a word.

“No… It’s not that I don’t want to. You can book the tickets. I should be done with dinner by 8:00 p.m.,”‘
Freya could not help but say.

“Alright. I’ll book the tickets for the 8:30 p.m. movie. ‘Tell me where you’re having dinner afterward, and
I’ll drive over to pick you up.” Upon hearing Freya’s words, Ryan turned his head and smiled with his
eyes.

“Okay.”

Freya nodded, and only after Ryan did she feel annoyed at the fact that she would be getting into
another man’s car just after having dinner with Jack. She felt like such a player.

However… Ryan was her godbrother in-name. Their relationship was absolutely pure.

Amidst her overthinking, Freya arrived at the company.



She received some small Christmas gifts from her colleagues. The gifts were not expensive, but it was
the thoughts that counted.

When it was time to get off work, many gentlemen came to the company to pick their girlfriends up.
Shaun was no exception either. However, he brought two other adorable children, Suzie and Lucas,
with him as well.

“Godmother, Merry Christmas. We’re going to have some western food with Mom and Dad.” Suzie
looked elated in a Christmas hat. ” Would you like to come with us?”



“Your godmother has a date tonight.” Catherine patted Suzie’s face with a smile. After that, she asked
Freya, “Is someone coming to pick you up? If not, we can give you a ride.”

Freya shook her head and got in the car without hesitation.

After she told Shaun the address of her destination, he drove to that place.

In the car, Suzie stated her opinion. ” Godmother, are you going on a date with your boyfriend? I think
he’s no good for not picking you up personally on Christmas. He’s not gentlemanly at all.”

“I was the one who told him not to come,” Freya explained with a smile. It would be their first time
meeting, so she did not want Jack to know about her workplace.

“Did he give up on coming because you told him not to?” Suzie harrumphed. “Look at my mom. She
never allows my dad to pick her up, yet he still does it brazenly. Dad said that women are animals who
say one thing but mean another.”

Freya laughed. “Suzie, you sure know a lot. Are you already dating at such a young age?”



“What’s the fun in puppy love? I’d rather eat.” Suzie’s cheeks puffed up. It was so adorable that it made
everyone laugh.

The atmosphere in the car was joyous throughout the journey. Even Lucas, who was usually indifferent,
smiled a few times.

Freya watched them enviously. Not long ago, she, Dani, and Rodney once were a happy family as well.
Unfortunately, it did not last long. It was only temporary.

At times like that, she would feel an ache in her heart. It was not because she could not let go of
Rodney. She just hated that he took no responsibility toward his child at all.

Upon arriving at her destination, Freya waved goodbye to Catherine and her family before she got
down the car and walked toward the restaurant on the opposite side of the road.
