Early the next day.

Freya was awakened by the sound of her phone.

She reached out from under the covers and finally found her phone on the bedside table.

She answered the call, her voice unable to hide her fatigue, "Hello..."

"Freya, the crew of 'Fluttering Sleeves' is wrapping up today, are you interested in coming over to join the fun?" came Black Flame's voice through the receiver.

Freya was really exhausted right now, she had been talking all night with Madeline until dawn, and her mind was now completely muddled.

"No, I need to catch up on sleep, I'm so tired."

Upon hearing this, Black Flame expressed his regret, "The little sparrow has been missing you all this time, if you don't attend, she might be sad again."

Little Sparrow was the nickname Black Flame gave to Clara.

Freya was drowsy and on the verge of falling asleep, but she managed to regain some clarity upon hearing the words, "How is Autumn Autumn doing on the set recently?"

She had been busy with matters in the underground maze during this period, with no interest in keeping track of Clara's affairs. The last time she had any information seemed to be about a month ago.

"It's the same old, same old. But besides acting, she's been getting close to Jasmine and Leo recently. If these two suddenly have a change of heart and acknowledge the child, then Everyone will be resolved."

"It's hard to make Jasmine acknowledge the child!" Freya knew Jasmine well; her career had just started to pick up, and she was desperate to completely sever ties with Clara.

After all, an actor's integrity is paramount, and if rumors spread about her having a child out of wedlock with Leo, who is already married, neither Jasmine nor Leo would be able to survive in this circle.

Freya thought for a moment. She would be returning to her homeland soon. Some arrangements had to be made regarding Clara's situation, or else she wouldn't be at peace.

"Let's do this: I'll come find you later on to discuss some matters," Freya said.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you on set."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Freya closed her eyes, ready to drift off to sleep. Yet, her mind kept returning to Clara's situation, forcing her to open her eyes again.

Fuzzy headed in the bathroom to freshen up, finally feeling much more awake. Madeline had not yet woken up, Freya carefully left the room, coincidentally running into Bradley coming out of the study. They bumped into each other in the corridor.

"Where are you going so early?" Bradley looked at the dark circles under the woman's eyes, knowing that she hadn't slept well.

Freya flipped her long hair and cleared her hoarse voice, "The 'Fusu Troupe' is wrapping up today, I plan to meet with Black Flame and check on Clara's situation."

She had talked too much last night, her throat was a bit uncomfortable, her voice a bit husky. Bradley frowned fiercely upon hearing this, and said in a firm tying, "You look very tired, you need to go back to your room and get some rest. It's not the right time to go out."

"Come back and sleep later." She wouldn't be at ease unless things were settled.

Not wanting the man to disobey her, she was lifted horizontally by him and carried towards the next room. His voice was filled with a stern tying, “Don't forget about your current physical condition. Until the snake in your body is fully cleared, it can flare up at any time. How can I rest assured if you go out now?"

Freya knew the man was worried about her, so she hugged his neck with a smile and coquettishly said, "If you're worried, then come with me."

Bradley would of course accompany her, but not right now.

He said resolutely, "I will accompany you to sleep." After speaking, he lay down and hugged her, clearly indicating that he wouldn't let her go until she slept.

"Wife, after we return to the southern country, all my time will be yours. Will you indulge me this time?" Freya tugged at his shirt and acted coquettish.

The man didn't want to indulge her, so he simply closed his eyes.

"Wife~"

Seeing him ignore her, Freya crawled onto him, gently patting his handsome face, "Please, darling."

The scent of the woman was so intoxicating, now on top of him, with her soft and restless body, making Bradley's blood boil, he couldn't control himself.

"Darling, you're playing with fire!" The man opened his silent eyes, with a burning fire inside.

Freya grinned, "Then bite me!"

The woman's watery eyes shimmered with mist, her red lips were alluring, causing Bradley's throat to involuntarily move several times.

In the next moment, he exerted his strength and flipped her over, tightly embracing her in his arms.

Summer blinked her watery eyes and gently brushed her hand over his face, "Did you sleep in the study last night?"

"Yeah."

The man kissed the back of her hand, his voice seductive, "I wanted to hold you while sleeping, but you were with Madeline, so I couldn't come in and take you away."

Last night, the two women talked all night, and Bradley waited at the door several times, wanting to take Freya away, but thinking that they would soon return to the southern country and would not have many chances to meet again, so he returned to the study.

Although his eyes were closed, he still couldn't sleep soundly all night.

It seemed that he had gotten used to being by his side. If he couldn't feel her breath, he would always feel anxious, even feeling empty in the long night.

At this moment, she was so close to him, making him want to cherish her wholeheartedly.

Between breaths, there was the fresh and enticing scent of her hair. Bradley lowered his handsome face and lightly brushed his warm lips over her soft hair.

The kiss moved to her smooth forehead, traced down her nose bridge, and finally landed on her small lips.

"Freya, do you have some time? I need to discuss something with you."

At this moment, the door of the guest room suddenly pushed open from the outside, startling the affectionate couple. Freya, frightened, quickly pushed away Bradley and recoiled under the covers like an ostrich. Bradley's cold and sharp gaze pierced the culprit who had ruined the moment. Patrick awkwardly touched his nose and said, "Sorry, I didn't know sister-in-law was here. You guys... continue, I'll wait for you in the study." With that, he quickly disappeared. Bradley narrowed his eyes, lifted the covers, and found the young woman blushing, burying her head in his arms. "Continue?" his voice was hoarse. Freya was too embarrassed, she pushed him away and said, "Patrick must have something important to discuss with you, you should go attend to it." The man grabbed her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes, then leaned in and kissed her, savoring the taste he had missed before. "I'll be back soon, don't go out alone." With that, he got out of bed, straightened his clothes, and left the room.

Watching the man's tall figure gradually disappear, Freya lay on the bed rolling back and forth, hands covering her hot face, her heart tense as if it was about to leap out.

Was she going crazy?

Thinking of seducing him first thing in the morning?
