Chapter 2409

“Dad, I know you might not be used to me not being your right-hand man, but you can hire me as a
special advisor. You can still look for me for matters you can’t entrust to other people. Also, I’m
planning to get a Ph.D. during this period. I’m still young. I want to spend more time settling down. To
be honest, I’m only 26 years old. If I stand out too much, others will get jealous and start to ostracize
me. Sometimes, taking a step back can enable further advancement in the future.”

Nathan had no words.

His son had arranged everything well. He could not even refute him.

He should be glad too. After all, Ryan was still young, yet he could think maturely and be independent.

“Just do as he said.” Heidi nodded. “Young people shouldn’t just chase after influence and status. What
you have now, you might not have in the future. The knowledge in your brain and the certificate in your
hands will be the greatest things to rely on in the future. If there’s still enough time, you should learn the
languages of other countries too. I hope you can master more than five languages.”

“I will.”

Ryan nodded and returned to his place. When he took his phone and had a look, there were many
missed calls. Two of them were from Freya.

His fingers got slightly nervous.

His gaze fell on the string of numbers. After a long time, he sent a message: [Are you asleep?]

A minute later, Freya immediately called him.

He rubbed the middle of his brows nervously. After picking up the call, the call connected. However,
there was no sound of anyone speaking.









“…Didn’t you see my Facebook post?” Freya asked in a low voice all of a sudden.

“Mm?” Ryan was stunned. “No, I’ve been handling matters this whole time. What did you post?”

Freya bit her lip. She said, “Can’t you see for yourself?”

After she spoke, she hung up.

It was mainly because she was embarrassed, nervous, and shy.

That feeling was similar to back when they had just confirmed their relationship.

Freya was overwhelmed with emotions when she called Ryan earlier. She had many things she wanted
to tell him. After the call connected, though, it was as if she became mute.

Ryan was stunned. He immediately tapped into Facebook. He saw the post she shared with the
caption: [We’re in a relationship. I wasn’t brave enough in the past, but in the future, I’ll do my best for
you.]

There were not many words.

However, it was indeed what he wanted to see the most.

Ryan smirked.



He said he was willing to walk 99 steps toward her before. As long as she took one step, he would be
delighted.

He was satisfied that she went along with him after publicly announcing their relationship.

Moreover, she said she would work hard for him.

That was enough.

Ryan entered Whatsapp. He asked her: [Are you really not angry anymore? I’m a little worried.]

Freya: [Hmph. You’re worried, yet you still announced our relationship without a word. That’s too much.
You didn’t even inform me about it.]

Ryan: [I was afraid you’d hesitate if I told you. You’re too timid. Besides… I could see that you had
thoughts about backing out in the morning. I was scared you’d leave. After announcing our relationship,
you won’t be able to leave me for some time.]

Freya: [Despicable guy.]

Ryan: [I admit to everything.]
