Chapter 2182

Ryan: [Okay. I’ll be good and wait for you.]

He sent a kissing emoji afterward.

Freya: [If you keep sending those, I won’t go over anymore.]

Ryan quickly sent another obedient emoji.

….

About ten minutes later, she arrived at the hotel room door. The door opened just after she pressed on
the doorbell.

Warm air greeted her. Freya strangely started feeling nervous. Actually, it had only been seven or eight
days since the last time she met Ryan. However, they both felt as though they had not met in a long
time when they saw each other on New Year’s Eve in Melbourne.

Inside the room, Ryan wore a khaki-colored sweater with the collar of a checkered shirt peeking out of
the sweater’s neckline. He wore a pair of long casual pants below, which outlined his legs well. His
aura was soft, just like a piece of gentle and clean gemstone. However, his eyes seemed pretty tired.
They were even bloodshot.

Had he been very exhausted lately?

“Hi, Happy New Year’s Eve.” Ryan lowered his head and looked at Freya. A vibrant smile appeared in
his eyes. “Did you bring these for me?”

Freya bit her lip and glared at him nervously. “These are just leftovers from my house. My mom wanted
to throw them away but I brought them for you because I thought it would be a waste.”



“Oh, don’t throw the food. You can just give it to me. I’ve never had food from the southeastern side
before.”

Ryan pulled her arm lightly. After bringing her inside, he closed the door.

The suite was not big. It was about 40 or 50 square meters. However, it seemed too cramped for a man
and a woman to be together on such a night.



Freya was very nervous. Ever since Ryan came clean with her, she felt flustered and lost. She was
even scared of spending time alone with Ryan.

She returned from Canberra hastily, primarily because she wanted to avoid him.

There were very few of his belongings in the suite. There was a backpack on the sofa as well as a
padded jacket and a scarf on the hangers. That scarf was the gift Freya gave Ryan last time.

It was just a normal scarf, but he always wore it during winter.

Ryan walked over and opened the containers. His clear eyes lit up. “Mm, it smells good. Are these
baked potatoes?”

“We have a lot of potatoes, eggs, and meat here.” Freya opened another container and faked a smile.
“This is steak. We eat it on New Year’s Eve every year. I packed plenty of it for you.”

She knew that Ryan did not like to eat fatty foods. However, she did it on purpose that night.

“Since you’re the one who brought it, I have to finish it all.” Ryan took a plate of pasta and started to
eat.



The food was tasty. Although the steak was a little greasy, it was still savory and tasty.

Freya watched him eat with gusto with her chin resting on her hands. He was eating well compared to
the relatives at her house that night. She knew that her mom and aunts were good at cooking, but
everyone did not eat as much as before even though their living standards were improving. Therefore,
there were a lot of leftovers.

However, Ryan’s appetite was a little too big.

“Are you really going to finish all of these?”

Freya could not resist asking when she saw him eating another baked potato.

“Why not? This is my first time eating my mother-in-law’s cooking. I have to finish it all to honor her
cooking skills.”

Freya stepped on Ryan just after he said it jokingly.
