On the same morning,

As soon as Joanne opened her eyes, she began to wait for Brian to go home. At the same time, Chris woke up, and was waiting for Freya who promised him yesterday.

But he was waiting until 10 o'clock, and Freya did not come.

He thought he was the CEO of Everbridge Group, whom nobody dared to let him wait for such a long time.

When his patience ran out, Chris dialed Freya's phone number.

Freya soon picked up the phone and said casually, "Oh, soon. I'll arrive soon."

Chris heard her casual voice, but he could not be angry with her.

Before that, he let Freya wait for the whole morning many times. Even if she was seeking her revenge, he could only take it.

"One more hour!" he said in a strict tone.

"Hm, OK!" Freya suddenly became adorable and obedient, and said, "Wait for me at home~"

Chris hanged up the phone. After 40 minutes, he was aware that there was something wrong.

He thought Freya's nature was full of noncompliance, as well as intangible aggressiveness. How could she be so obedient to him?

Sure enough, he did not see Freya come after one hour.

The damned girl!

He angrily took the phone and dialed Freya's phone number. She said in a casual tone, "I have business temporarily and won't be available until afternoon."

"..."

Chris held the cellphone heavily, and blue veins in his hands became evident.

Without thinking, he could imagine that Freya now must lie on the bed, shaking legs and laughing hysterically.

"Hmm, are you angry?" Freya pretended that she was guilty, but she only lasted for three seconds. Then, she laughed. "You can keep angry, see you in the afternoon!"

Chris's eyes appeared a trace of danger. "How dare she!"

"Dong!" The cellphone was thrown heavily, sliding from the table onto the carpet.

Not until Chris's anger subsided, the bell rang again, showing the name "Wendy".

He had to pick up the cellphone and answered the call.

At the same time, Freya was sneering away from dozens of kilometers.

Hanging up Chris's call, she took the car key. "Mom, Dad, I'm leaving."

"How urgent is it to go without eating lunch?" Freya's mother did not understand.

"Very urgent!" Freya laughed in a sense of pride. "If I did not leave, someone will tear down the house."

She waved to her mom and dad and ran to the garage.

Freya's father smiled helplessly with hands behind the back, but he felt more comforting. "She is so happy, let her go."

He only hoped Chris could make her daughter always happy.

Freya's mother did not say anything and signed. She followed the husband to the dining room. When she sat down, she saw Freya's car drive out like a gale.

When Freya was in the United States those years, in addition to eating, the most common thing was driving a car at the top speed with a group of dudes. Now she could drive better than most men.

The powerful sports car in her hand, as if having transformed into a flexible dragon, draw beautiful lines and arcs on the long road.

After a beautiful brake, the red Ferrari halted under Chris's apartment.

She was teasing Chris when she said she would only see him in the afternoon.

Why did she do this?

The first reason was to revenge his apathy. The second was to scare him or give him a surprise.

Freya threw the car keys into the bag, and then pushed open the door to get off. Just then, her eyes inadvertently swept to Chris's figure-he was coming out of the apartment.

He was in leisurewear, which did not look like that he was going out.

So what was he doing downstairs? It was impossible for him to know that she had arrived.

Freya sat back in the driver's seat with eyes glued to Chris's figure and found that he did not come to her, but... towards a young girl standing at the door.

That girl...

Suddenly, Freya remembered Chris took this beautiful young girl to attend the last small party of Top Model. At that time, she wondered when Chris changed the taste in girls.

Was there any relationship between Chris and that girl?

Freya's eyes were like a torch, staring at Chris. Just then, she saw Chris handed that girl a check.

The girl looked wronged, bit her lips, and took the check. When Chris said to her gently, the girl suddenly smiled like a flower that could attract people.

When Chris looked to the girl, he looked unusual.

It was not love, but he seemed to care about the girl.

The girl carefully collected the check, and hugged Chris as if saying goodbye to him. Then she got into a taxi to leave.

Chris was watching the taxi to drive far away before turning back, but he did not find Freya.

Freya was sitting in the driver's seat unconsciously.

If it was what she thought, what would she do for the relationship between Chris and the girl in the previous period?

For his ex-girlfriend, ex-ex-girlfriend, she could ignore them. But after he said they had a chance to be together, she could not accept it if he was involved with other girls.

At last, Freya forgot how she went upstairs and pressed the doorbell mechanically. Her mind went blank.

From the looking-through hole on the door, Chris saw it was Freya and opened the door with his brows knitted. "Don't you have the key?"

Freya was gazing at Chris straightly. After a while, she said, "Ah?" as if she did not remember she had the key to Chris's home.

Chris knew Freya well and pulled her in. "What's the matter?"

She said on the phone that she would come over in the afternoon, but now, in less than two hours after hanging up the phone, she showed up in front of his house. Apparently, Freya tried to scare him.

But her expression was not right. If she wanted to scare someone, her expression would not be like this.

"Chris," Freya looked at his eyes seriously. "That night, you told me that we may be together, and then there is a time when we basically didn't see each other. Is there anything you should tell me during that time?"

Her beautiful big eyes were filled with too many complex emotions-uncertainty, hesitation, and uneasiness.

Accustomed to her taking a firm stand, Chris suddenly felt interested to see such an expression on her face for the first time.

"There were a lot of things during that time in the company, and... in my personal life." Chris deliberately emphasized the word "personal" heavily. "What should I tell you?"

Personal life...

Freya pondered on these two words and became surer that Chris and the girl had something. She gritted her teeth, and said, "Just now you went downstairs to see a girl. I have seen it! Give you a chance to explain!"

To Freya's surprise, Chris smiled.

She stared. "Why are you laughing? Be serious!"

Chris shook his head and sighed, guessing that Freya had seen and misunderstood Wendy and him.

He laughed because Freya could not hold back.

Freya was different from Joanne. When such things happened, Joanne might investigate silently and orderly like she was working.

But according to Freya's personality, she tended to choose to ask everything directly and clearly, just like now.

"She is my cousin, and her name is Wendy." Chris stopped smiling and explained. "Last time when I took her to the party, I brought her to have fun."

Freya cannot help biting her lips. "Chris, this 'cousin' excuse really... sucks." It was too bad to bear and she almost wanted to make up a new one for Chris herself.

Chris shrugged, and confessed, "You can ask Joanne."

"Is there a 'stupid' word on my face?" Freya was speechless and wanted to roll her eyes. "I've never heard Joanne mention that you have a cousin."

Chris felt a slight headache and rubbed his forehead. "Wendy is my aunt's daughter, Joanne has not seen her because Joanne was not born at that time. In addition, my aunt left Steven and immigrated abroad. Joanne has not even seen my aunt, how could she talk about Wendy with you?"

Freya continued to stare at Chris closely, but he was magnanimous and was not afraid of anything.

She shook her head decisively, constantly warning herself. "Sober! Sober up!"

Just like a capitalist, Chris was really good at convincing others. Even if he said that there was a cow in the sky, he could make it sound persuasive. The listeners could only be persuaded.

Chris seemed to know what Freya was thinking, thus a sense of warning appeared in his eyes. "Freya, this is the first time I've explained this kind of thing."

"... So?"

"So," Chris slightly raised lips, but the look appeared unhappy. "You'd better not make a fool by lingering on this matter, because I do not have too much patience."

Freya always appeared that she was not afraid of anything, but at this moment, she felt afraid.

She asked, "I met you at the party at that time, why didn't you tell me?"

Chris said it without thinking. "I like to see your jealousy."

"..." Freya thought Chris liked such evil jokes.

"By the way, don't forget you ran away that day." Chris said casually, "if you did not run after the party, I will probably tell you that I took Wendy for avoiding disturbing actions from women."

"... You're so dark, does your cousin know?"

Chris said, "She still thought I took her for fun."

"..." Freya was completely speechless.

After the explanation, Chris decided to explain everything clearly. He pulled Freya to the living room to sit down. "Just now I gave money to Wendy because she and my aunt had a conflict. She studied in medical school, but my aunt didn't agree with her becoming a doctor after graduation."

"Because it's too hard?" Freya asked.

"Yes." Chris continued, "but she insisted on having an internship in the hospital after graduation, so my aunt refused to give her living expenses."

At that moment, the puzzlement in Freya's mind was solved.

No wonder Chris would look tender just now. No wonder Wendy looked sad and helpless.

It was she who had too many misunderstandings for Chris.

Freya coughed. "I... I know now."

Chris rarely did not have a tease for her, looking at her seriously, and said, "If such kinds of things happen in the future, you will ask me like today. Do not guess on your own."

He knew too well about women's imagination. A simple thing, fermented by their imagination, could turn into a big play that was full of complex plots.

Freya smiled and got close to Chris. "Are you saying that I am doing very well today?"

Chris raised eyebrows. "Hmmm."

Freya was so happy like flowers blossom in her heart, while the smile on her face was brighter.

At this moment, she thought she and Chris would be fine in the future.
