Freya helplessly said, "I have hands and feet; I can move. If you spoil me like this, what if I become lazy in the future?"

"It's okay. If you become lazy, I'll personally take care of you."

This unexpected sweet talk made the junior brothers behind them feel a pang of jealousy.

The eldest junior brother whispered, "Agni, hurry up and learn. Maybe if you learn the romantic charm of Felix, you’ll find a girlfriend too."

"Hmph, who doesn't know how to say sweet things?"

"Then say something and let us hear."

Agni touched his hair, pursed his lips, imitated the cold and ruthless look of a dominant CEO, and said, "Woman, you have successfully caught my attention. I will make you mine!"

"Tch –"

A group of junior brothers scoffed scornfully.

"Dressing up to look cool is so outdated."

"Oh, if you're so capable, then say something yourself. I want to see what you can do!" Agni grumbled in dissatisfaction after being mocked.

Suddenly, a senior brother approached him and forcefully embraced Agni's waist. Before Agni could react, he was already pulled into his embrace. The next moment, his chin was lifted, and a deep male voice sounded in his ear, "Aggie, you are my destiny. I will not marry anyone else in this lifetime but you."

"..."

Ugh! The brothers were all clutching their stomachs and pretended to vomit out of disgust.

"Brother, you’re too disgusting. How can you say such things!"

Although Agni was a second-generation wealthy person, he had little experience in romance. Suddenly being hugged like this made his face turn red, and his heart beat irregularly.

When he was a little out of breath, he pushed his senior brother away forcefully, saying, "Joe, don't mess around. I’m straight. I’m not into guys!"

The senior brother named Joe Walters touched his nose and felt disgusted by himself. He awkwardly smiled, "Don't worry. I like women too."

Despite what was said, Joe also felt his ears burning.

What's wrong? Just hugging a man made him this nervous?

Agni let out a sigh and secretly glanced at Joe, who was also looking at him, making him felt even more nervous.

He even had trouble speaking, hesitantly saying, "Alright, Senior Brothers, let’s take the water back to the villa. I'll take a walk in the woods."

While the situation was awkward here, the two people ahead were focused on collecting herbs, completely unaware of what was happening.

Freya picked a ganoderma lucidum, and blew on it to clean off the dirt.

"This natural ganoderma could earn a lot of money if sold!"

Ganoderma lucidum was already rare to begin with, not to mention this valuable variety, which was even more rare and over ten years of age, making it extremely precious.

Before, when Freya purchased medicinal herbs, she had also tried ganoderma, but none were as pure as this one.

"Are you planning to use these medicinal herbs to treat Master?" Bradley asked curiously.

Freya nodded. "These medicinal herbs are quite precious, and they might come in handy when picked. However, dear, you need to be mentally prepared. It will take time to cure Master."

Dear?

The group of disciples who were frolicking all looked stunned.

"What? They just got together, and she’s already calling him ‘dear’?" Agni thought he misheard and even rubbed his ears.

He then heard Bradley gently say, "In the past, you were able to cure my headaches and relieve me of my manic disorder. This proves that your medical skills are extraordinary. I believe you can also cure Master’s illness because you are the famous physician Lexi, and no one’s medical skills can surpass yours."

When these words were spoken, not only Agni was dumbfounded, but the other disciples were also at a loss.

They understood now, so... Felix and Ms. Freya had known each other earlier?

Agni's face was full of disbelief.

But why? Why did Felix refuse to see Freya? Could these two be playing a cat-and-mouse game?

"Aggie, don't doubt it; these two have been together for a long time," Joe blurted out.

Agni was so shocked by the sound of 'Aggie' that he got goosebumps all over his body. He shuddered and said, "Joe, stop acting. Can we be normal?"

With these words, Joe shrugged.

He was disgusted with himself too!

"No, I still think it’s not that simple. Felix might have secretly married a long time ago."

"Impossible!" Agni snorted. "If they are married, why wouldn’t Felix say anything?"

"You know what kind of person Felix is. He's a closed-mouthed person. There’s no way he’d tell us."

Agni thought it over and found it reasonable.

It seems that in order to know the relationship between the two, he’d have to eavesdrop. Hopefully, the bug device he planted was hidden well enough to dig out Felix’s secrets.

...

Freya gathered the herbs she needed and held hands with Bradley as they made their way back to the mansion.

Night was approaching quickly, and wild animals were starting to emerge from the forest, making it unsafe.

Upon returning to the villa, Freya first organized the herbs she had gathered before changing into clean clothes in her room.

As she opened the wardrobe to take out underwear, a black object suddenly flew out, causing Freya to scream in shock and drop all the clothes in her hands.

"What is this?" She stepped closer and picked up the bug on the floor, frowning deeply upon recognizing it as an invisible bug.

But why was there a bug in her clothes?

Recalling the small camera in the ceiling during the day, Freya began to understand what was going on. After changing her clothes, she called Bradley, "Which room are you in? I'll come to find you; I have something to tell you."

"Next door!"

A deep male voice sounded in her ear. Freya took her phone to the balcony, but when she turned her head, she bumped into a handsome and charming face.

"Bradley, you, you, how did you end up here?"

"I live here."

The man curved his lips, and then leaped over from the balcony with agility, landing right in front of her and embraced her.

"There's only a folding screen separating our two rooms. How did you not notice?"

Freya hadn’t noticed. Having spent the whole day either in acupuncture or out walking, she hadn’t taken a good look around.

She didn’t expect Bradley to be so scheming, arranging for her to be placed here.

If she hadn’t noticed, was this man planning to break in at night and sleep with her? What a clever plan, it's spot on!

“Okay, you’ve had your fun. Was it enjoyable?” Freya pushed him away, pouting.

First, he teased her with the identity of Felix, and then arranged for her to stay in the room next to his. Was this a way to indirectly monitor her?

Seeing her upset, Bradley coaxed her gently, "Leiton Island is full of men. If I don’t arrange for you to stay here, how can I feel at ease?"

"So, did you plant this bug?"

Freya threw the bug at him. Hiding this thing in her underwear? That’s totally perverted!
