No, why did it turn out like this?

The words she just said were only meant to remind him that their relationship was just a contractual one, but the man misunderstood it as her complaining?

" Bradley, I didn't mean it that way, take back what you said, we are not getting married." Freya Lawson anxiously tried to grab his phone, but the man held it up out of her reach.

He was tall and almost six feet tall, standing there with his shirt rolled up to his elbows, revealing strong arms. His whole body exuded the charm of a mature man, with long narrow black eyes that were deep and mysterious, complemented by his handsome and compelling face, he looked almost perfect like a Greek sculpture.

Freya Lawson couldn't help but be moved by just looking at him for a moment, but quickly averted her gaze and tried to grab the phone.

Bradley grinned mischievously, "Spoken words are like water poured out, they can't be taken back."

"How could you do this, I never said I want to marry you." Freya Lawson looked at him angrily, her eyes were red and filled with frustration, she put all her effort in trying to grab the phone.

She hastily opened the call history, wanting to dial the person's number to tell him to cancel the whole thing.

But the result was...

The latest call record is half an hour ago.

In other words, Bradley did not make a call just now.

Freya Lawson felt deceived, she felt bad, and threw the phone at him directly, "You lied to me!"

Bradley smiled at her actions, his eyes deep and knowing.

"Are you truly that unwilling to marry me?"

Freya Lawson bit her lip, avoided his hot gaze, "You should rest well, I'm leaving.

Bradley stepped forward, grabbed her delicate wrist, "Freya, I will wait until the day you willingly agree, but remember, apart from me, you are not allowed to fall in love with anyone."

Freya Lawson didn't say anything, looked deeply at him, then took her hand away and walked out.

Her heart was in turmoil, she was afraid that if she stayed, she would uncontrollably admit to liking him.

This man had unintentionally plucked the string in her heart, stirred up waves of fear in her heart, and forcefully left a place in her heart.

But she promised her mother that she would not get married until she avenged her.

If Bradley is truly willing to wait, then give her some more time to fulfill her promise to her mother. When the time comes and she is willing to open up to him, she can marry him!

Bradley watched the girl's flustered steps, a faint smile on his lips.

She was moved.

She had feelings for herself.

Freya Lawson found James, who was sitting on the deck enjoying the sea breeze.

"Your wound is still bleeding, let me help you with it!"

James turned his head and smiled warmly at her, "No need, it's just a minor injury, Miss Mi has already bandaged it for me."

Freya Lawson glanced at his arm, wrapped in white bandages that were clearly done by Ella's method.

I'm sorry to have led you all into danger!

" She sat down next to him, dangling her legs out and looked bewildered at the pitch-black sea.

"Don't worry, why should there be any formality between us, has our three years together made our feelings fade?" James's voice was gentle and mellow; his words were like a spring breeze, comforting and without pressure.

But being with Bradley, his imposing presence made her uncontrollably nervous.

Freya Lawson shook her head, unable to imagine that while sitting with James now, her mind was filled with thoughts of Bradley.

Can we still be like we were before? she said into the darkness of the night.

James's heart trembled, turning to look at her face, he reached out and gently touched her temple, "Don't tell me, have you really fallen in love with Bradley?"

With that, he tenderly brushed away her stray hair, his deep and knowledgeable eyes bathed in the night, masking his true emotions.

However, his voice carried an unmistakable sense of sorrow and loneliness.

You're right, without my knowledge, he has already entered my heart, I...

The words were not finished when a warm hand covered her lips, James's voice was deep and hoarse, "Why him?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Freya Lawson turned her head to look at him.

James smiled self-mockingly, "I hope you can deceive me, at least give me some hope, let me know that between you and me, we can be more than just friends..."

"James." Freya Lawson interrupted him, "I don't want to lose you as a friend, but there are some things I need to make clear. I can't even explain the relationship between me and Bradley. In the beginning, I approached him just for freedom, but as I spent more time with him, I found that he was actually a good person."

"When he is unable to act, he will protect me in his own way, and even when I am in danger, he always appears in front of me first."

"That day, when Lola Lawson led me to the back mountain, he rushed up the mountain to find me regardless of everything. Do you know how dangerous the back mountain is? It's full of poisonous insects and fierce beasts. And this time, in a critical moment, he pushed me into the sea and took a bullet for me."

"Bradley is a crazy man, but it is because of this madness that I slowly fell for him. So James, let go of this feeling, we always seem to miss each other time and time again, this is fate, destined for us to be connected but not together."

"What a destined separation!" James sighed bitterly. "If I hadn't gone abroad to study back then, maybe I would be the one accompanying you now, willing to face any danger with you. Freya, I can bless you and let you be with him, but if he makes you unhappy, I will spare no effort to snatch you away from him."

"You won't have that chance!" A low, magnetic voice came from behind them.

Bradley walked out from the darkness, standing confidently behind the two of them. "The woman that Bradley loves will never be taken advantage of by others!"

On the vast sea surface, the man's words echoed for a long time.

Freya Lawson stared at him in shock, but the next moment she was pulled into his arms. "Were you sincere when you said those words just now? Do you really like me?"

Freya Lawson bit her lip, she never expected that Bradley would appear, let alone hear those words she said.

I, I didn't say anything, let alone that I like you."

Confessing and getting caught was really awkward, she refused to admit she had said those words.

As the two flirted and bantered, no one noticed James leaving heavily.

I heard it all, you said you had already fallen for me, so you must have fallen in love with me. Bradley's eyes were red, his strong arms tightly wrapped around her waist, he hugged her so tightly that Freya Lawson was worried his wound would burst open.
