Freya felt more and more uneasy.
Bradley clearly knew her identity.
He was just not sure yet, so he repeatedly tested her.
"I don't want to fight you. Let me go, or else I..."
"What will you do? Hm?"
"I won't be polite anymore."
After she said that, she shoved him away.
Her legs hooked around him, trapping his waist between them, and they fell to the ground together.
However, he was too strong. With a flip, he pinned her down.
He reached out and slowly touched the mask on her face.
Freya's heart raced, and she bit down on his arm.
The man grunted and narrowed his eyes.
With his other hand, he quickly pulled off the mask, revealing a delicate and exquisite face.
"Frey…"
Freya slammed her eyes shut in despair.
She had been exposed.
"You deceived me for long." The man's rough fingertips gently slid across her face as his voice deepened. "If Shadow One hadn't discovered you, how long do you plan to hide it from me?"
"Who are you then? Why are you always wearing a mask?" Freya opened her eyes and stared back at him.
Upon closer inspection, she felt that this face was incredibly familiar.
Her mind returned to the year she was twelve and the boy she met on the mountain…
He carried a mask, just like this.
"No one knows what Leonard Newman actually looks like. Wearing a mask can keep my identity concealed."
"One more question. Seven years ago, did you get hurt and escape to the mountain?"
"Yes!" he truthfully answered. "Seven years ago, I was being chased by Ian's men and escaped to the mountain where I was saved by a girl. The Shadowfang Jade Whistle in your hand was also mine... I gave it to her, so that she could blow the whistle when she needed help. I promised to grant her one wish."
Hearing that, her heart raced, and her breathing became somewhat heavy.
How can it be?
How could the man in front of her be that boy?
"Did you fulfill her wish?"
Freya's voice was somewhat hoarse.
As it was dark, Bradley did not notice the unusual light flashing in her eyes.
Even her shoulders were trembling slightly.
"No," he said. "The girl asked me to take her away at the time. I promised to pick her up the next morning, but that night, my villa caught on fire and I couldn't meet up with her."
"After that, did you go back to pick her up?"
She kept asking.
She had waited for him for so many years, even if he had broken his promise at the time.
What about afterward?
After he woke up, did he not think to find her?
When I woke up again, it was already three months later. I immediately sent my men to that mountain to find the girl, but she was nowhere to be found."
Three months.
Freya calmly thought back to that time.
At that time, the boy did not come to pick her up, and she waited on the mountain for three whole months.
Three months later, she fell to a high fever and became dumb. Then, she left the Smiths and did not return for another month.
Afterward, she learned how to be a doctor and would often pretend to be dumb and run out. However, she did not return to that mountain again.
Even if she did go back, she would only stay for a short while before leaving in a hurry.
She remembered the photos she had asked Ella to investigate. They had shown Bradley with extensive burns all over his body.
How severe was his condition to have him be in a coma for three whole months?
At that moment, tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes.
She flipped them around and looked down at him, saying, "Bradley, look at me. Do you know who I am?"
Bradley was taken aback.
Soon, his lips curved into a smile. "You are Freya, my wife."
"No, take a good look. Don't I look like that girl from back then?"
Upon hearing that, the man narrowed his eyes.
He gazed deeply at her.
The figure before him gradually merged with the girl from years ago.
"Frey, are you that girl?"
"Yes, it was me."
She could not hold back her tears.
She never expected that the boy she had been looking for was right by her side.
Bradley's emotions became even more agitated.
No wonder she was so nervous when she lost Shadowfang Jade Whistle back then.
However, he then thought of something, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
If she was indeed the girl from back then, then her identity...
Poppy, the best hacker in the world?
He stared at her once more.
He had never delved deep into investigating her identity before as he never expected her to have so many secrets. It was a shock.
Freya knew that her identities could no longer be hidden.
She helplessly smiles. "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Mystica, the best assassin of the dark web, and also Poppy, the top hacker in the world."
"You lied to me again, didn't you?"
He had always noticed how Poppy's eyes resembled Freya's.
Now, he knew it was all because the world's number one hacker was her.
He never thought that she would be so capable with each revealed identity more impressive than the last.
They were all the best in their fields, and it left him at a loss.
"You were pretending to be foolish and fooling me before," she haughtily said.
"I had my reasons."
Bradley helplessly shook his head.
"I also had no choice."
Mystic's identity made her many enemies in the international arena.
Poppy was a hacker who had taken on many tasks in the past that would cause her trouble if she revealed herself.
Both of these identities were not ones that could be openly revealed, so she can only keep them tightly under wraps.
Bradley said, "I am your husband. Whoever you are, I can accept it."
"That's different. All my identities are very dangerous. I don't want to bring trouble to you."
The man sighed deeply upon hearing that. "Alright. You have a point."
"I am just being honest. Besides, you have other things to confess too."
Freya solemnly looked at him. "Come clean. The man who broke into the Lawson Mansion and kissed me was you, wasn't it?"
She had not thought about it before.
However, upon closer inspection, the man's figure and appearance were roughly the same as Bradley's.
Clearly, they were the same person.
"It was me." He softly chuckled and pulled her into his arms. "A kiss seals the deal. Otherwise, why would I have married you and brought you to the Royal Garden Mansion? I promised that I would take responsibility for you."
Freya was stunned.
She remembered that he did say something along those lines at the start.
She just did not expect the man to be Bradley.
His so-called way of taking responsibility was to marry her.
How very dramatic.
"You rogue. You're clearly a wolf in sheep's skin." Freya punched him, but not too lightly nor too hard.
Bradley grabbed her hand and said, "If I don't pretend to be a sheep, how else could I have captured a little lamb like you, hm?"
Upon hearing that, Freya punched him again.
"Anyway, now that you know, I'll return the Shadowfang Jade Whistle. However, you have to first tell me this. What's the mystery behind this jade whistle?"
This jade whistle could summon a wolf pack. That was its biggest secret.
She had no idea what this thing was.
However, she had feeling that it was definitely something special.
