Chapter 2180

Mrs. Lynch said protectively, “I heard about what happened during the wedding. Linda kept spreading
rumors about our daughter. She deserves it. In my opinion, Linda is a hateful person. She might’ve
offended many people. The same goes for Director Cartman. He already has one foot in the grave, but
he still fools around with countless women.”

“I didn’t say anything. I was just asking,” Mr. Lynch said disappointedly, “After all, we’ve lived in this
place for tens of years. We had business exchanges with them, but I never knew they liked to gossip
so much behind people’s backs. It’s good that we’re leaving Melbourne soon.”

“That’s right. Our daughter wasn’t even gossiped about that way in Canberra.”

Mrs. Lynch was utterly dissatisfied.

Freya’s mood improved when she saw how her parents protected her.

Two days later, she and her mom went to the mall with Dani. Mrs. Lynch bought many new clothes and
food for her daughter and granddaughter.

Melbourne’s atmosphere before the new year was lively. Mr. Lynch was the most successful person in
the Lynch family. The Lynch family’s relatives would come over to the villa to celebrate the new year
together every year.

On that day, Mrs. Lynch and the housekeeper would be busy making steak and baked potatoes.

New Year’s Eve finally came, and all of their relatives came over.

Freya ate snacks and watched the television with her relatives while taking care of Dani.





Dani might be very young, but she was the apple of everyone’s eyes. Everyone liked carrying her and
playing with her.

Dani was beaming from ear to ear when she saw so many people.

When it was almost dinnertime, Ryan sent a Whatsapp message: [I’ve arrived in Melbourne.]

Cough.

Freya was so startled that she almost choked on her pistachio.

She quickly went upstairs with her phone. “Didn’t you promise me that you won’t come over? Are you
kidding me?”

“What I promised back then was that I wouldn’t come over tomorrow. That’s why I’m here on New
Year’s Eve.”

When he finished speaking, there was some noise on the other end of the phone.

“Excuse me, Sir.

“The exit is this way.”

“…”

Freya found it unbelievable. “Are you at the airport?”

“Mm. I called you right after the airplane landed.” Ryan smiled and lowered his gentle, soft voice. “I’ve
not seen you in a long time. I really miss you.”



It was just a simple sentence but across the phone, Freya felt as if an electric shock had pulsed
through her heart. She hated herself for being weak. During her time in Melbourne, she had not thought
much about Ryan. However, he just had to come over and make her heart a mess again.

“Ryan, go back. It’s New Year’s Eve tonight. You should be at the manor accompanying your parents
and grandfather,” Freya said.

“My parents aren’t in Melbourne tonight. They’ve gone to a countdown event in Perth. I initially had
some work to do, but I finished it beforehand.”
