Chapter 2392

“So are you planning to give up?” Ryan’s eyes were filled with rage.

“I don’t know. Can you let me calm down for a few days?” Freya looked at him pleadingly with
reddened eyes. “I admit that I’m timid and weak. I’m not as tough as you are. I’ve experienced too
much and gotten betrayed over and over again, so I’m scared and lack self-confidence.”

Ryan rested his eyes on her in a daze for some time. His eyes contained misery, disappointment, and a
trace of anger.

Seemingly, he was the one pushing their relationship forward without being bothered about anything
else. He had planned everything and reached out his hands to her, yet she was like a tortoise curling
up in its shell, afraid of stretching out its head.

The two of them stayed silent for quite a while as they confronted each other.

Ryan took two steps backward with a long face.

“Okay.”

He nodded. “I’ll give you some time, but… If I try my best and take 99 steps toward you but you’re not
even willing to take a step forward, I can’t do anything about that.”

With that, he turned around and slammed the door before he walked away.

Freya closed her eyes, tears instantly rushing out of her eyes.

It was not that she was unwilling to take a step forward. She was afraid that if she did, she would be
condemned for getting together with him. Also, Rodney was a ticking time b**b. Judging from his
insane behavior, would he let the matter rest?









….

After going to the office in a trance, she headed to the president’s office instead of the laboratory.

Catherine was shocked at the sight of Freya’s distracted look.

“Cathy, they already know about my relationship with Ryan.”

Freya hugged Catherine and broke into tears. She told Catherine what had happened in stammers. “I
can tell that Ryan is disappointed in me. In fact, I know I’m being really selfish. Although I’m glad to be
in a relationship with him, I don’t dare to imagine what will happen in the future. I just want to enjoy the
present, but I’m afraid of thinking about the future.”

“Oh well, this is normal. You got into a relationship not long after you got divorced. Of course, you’re
afraid to think about the future, especially regarding your marriage. This is something to be pondered
over anyway.”

Catherine comforted her and said, “Actually, you’re right to be concerned. Judging from how worked up
Rodney was yesterday, he definitely won’t let the matter rest. He might even do something extreme.”

“Yeah. I feel that he has turned into a different person after being triggered by Sarah.” Freya suddenly
shuddered. “Cathy, if you were me, what would you do?”

After posing the question, she then said, “Forget it. What’s the point of asking you? Your mom is the
richest woman in the world, while your stepdad is very well off and powerful. If you want to get in a



relationship with any man, his parents will even want to butter you up.”

Catherine laughed. “If I were you, I would’ve made my relationship public first.”

Freya stammered, “W-What?”

Was there something wrong with her ears or was she hallucinating?
