Chapter 2174

Freya had received 143 dollars of pocket money from Ryan.

People who had dated before would know that 143 stood for “I love you”.

He was so annoying.

After cursing him mentally, Freya replied: [Stop giving me money. There’s no way we’ll be together no
matter how much money you give me.]

Ryan: [Why is it impossible? Unless there’s something wrong with your body?]

Freya laughed in exasperation. [You’re the one who has problems. I’m as fit as a fiddle.]

Ryan: [I’m pretty healthy too. I’ll be done with my work tomorrow, so I’ll board a flight tomorrow night to
visit you there.]

Freya was startled. [No. You’re not allowed to come over.]

Ryan: [What can I do? I miss you. I don’t even have an appetite when I can’t see you.]

Freya was speechless. Why did she not realize before that he was such a smooth talker? [My parents
won’t be able to accept it. If you come over, they’ll overthink, and I’ll be angry with you.]

Ryan: […Okay. I’ll video call you in the evening then. I’ll promise you if you let me take a look at you.]

Freya was utterly annoyed by Ryan. She already told him they had to keep a distance, yet she still had
to video call with him. It would be so awkward for both of them.

However, things would be worse if he were to come over tomorrow.

As such, Freya could only promise him for now.



Suddenly, a knock came from outside the car window, and Chase’s smiling face appeared at the
window. “I heard from your mom that you’d be attending the banquet today. Aren’t you going inside?”

“I was just about to go in.” Freya quickly got out of the car.



Chase eyed her from top to bottom and whistled before he said teasingly, “You’ve gotten prettier after
the divorce. You’re making me want to pursue you.”

“Brother Chase, stop kidding. Everyone knows you have high standards,” Freya joked. “By the way,
when are you planning to get married? Look at Young Master Hill’s children. They’re now old enough to
do household chores.”

“Marriage cannot be rushed, and it has nothing to do with age. If I meet someone whom I want to
spend the rest of my life with, I’ll get married.” Chase shrugged. “After all, I can’t ruin other girls’ lives.”

Freya nodded. Despite Chase’s carefree behavior, he had always been tactful about romantic
relationships.

As they were taking the elevator upstairs, Chase suddenly said, “I’m afraid there might be someone
you don’t wish to see here today.”

Freya was stunned. “Are you talking about Patrick or Linda?”

They were the two people whom she did not want to meet the most in Melbourne.

“The Harrison family has collaborated with RF Group recently. I heard that Linda has gotten married to
RF Group’s director and is now his second wife.” Chase smiled pensively. “That director is 70 years
old, so it’s pretty interesting.”



The corners of Freya’s mouth twitched. “How can Linda fancy a much older guy?”

“She has no choice since Patrick doesn’t want her and everyone knows about the b*tchy things she
did. Which wealthy person would want to marry her? She won’t even consider average families, so she
can only get married to an older man.” Chase had a mocking look on his face.

Freya was utterly speechless. She wondered what Patrick felt when his childhood sweetheart, whom
he thought was kind and innocent, got married to a 70-year-old man for wealth and splendor.

He must have thought he was an idiot.

However, it no longer had anything to do with Freya.
