Chapter 1037 Am I old?

Leaving the manor, Freya always felt something was off. She asked Lanshu to park in a safe area and turned to look at Bradley.

"I'm worried that the bodyguard might delay our plans. No, I have to go back and take care of it," she said, opening the car door to get out.

Bradley stopped her. "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to handle it."

Seeing the suspicious look in the bodyguard's eyes, Bradley guessed that the other party might have suspected something, so he had someone take care of the situation before leaving.

After all, this was Lady's person. As long as the bodyguard said something casually, Ravenwood would be in big trouble, and their plan would be ruined.

Freya looked steadily at the man, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Bradley asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Suddenly, Freya rushed over and kissed his face. "Husband, I really don't know how to describe you. Every time, you surprise me."

Every time she thought of something, the man had already anticipated it and handled it perfectly without leaving any room for error.

Freya thought of herself as an extremely cautious person, at least before meeting Bradley, no one had ever been able to know everything before him. However, after getting to know him, she deeply discovered that this man pays great attention to details, and his way of doing things is very cautious, always leaving a way out for himself. In a positive light, you could say he is suspicious. In a negative light, you could call him cunning and crafty.

Freya gently extended her hand, tracing down his forehead, gently touching his eyebrows, his nose bridge, and finally resting on his thin lips. "But, no matter what kind of Bradley, I like him."

Bradley smiled and held her small hand, hoarsely asking, "How much do you like me?"

Freya gazed into his dark eyes, and said seriously, "I like you... to the point where I don't know how to breathe without you, and I might even find it hard to go on living..."

As soon as she said this, Bradley emotionally embraced her, the strength of his hug felt like he wanted to merge her into his bones.

Feeling breathless in his arms, Freya struggled, "You can't handle sweet words like this. If I can move you with just a casual remark, then wouldn't you be left in tears every day with all the things I have to say in the future?"

"Then you say a little more every day, I will become immune to it after listening to it more." The man leaned over and kissed her cheek, the smile on his lips becoming even deeper.

Freya gritted her teeth, "Alright, all your attention is on your wife, you really are a cunning old fox."

"Old fox? Am I that old?" Upon hearing this, Bradley let go of her and furrowed his brows tightly together.

Freya propped her chin with both hands, looking at him with affection as if admiring the most beautiful scenery in the world, "Not an old fox, just lacking in respect for the elderly."

Bradley raised his hand to touch his own face, his brows furrowed so tightly it could almost crush a fly.

He said, "I'm only eight years older than you, am I really that old?"

After speaking, the man deliberately looked in the mirror.

Seeing this, Freya covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "Alright, you're not old. In my heart, my husband is the handsomest man in the world."

In order to express her admiration, she went on to effusively praise his appearance, "Deep brow bones, mesmerizing phoenix eyes, high nose bridge, thin and crimson lips - this exquisite face is as if sculpted by a master, who can compare to my handsome husband?"

This is the absolute truth.

Bradley's beauty makes her feel inferior even as a woman. Her flawless fair skin without any blemishes, so perfect that even up close you can't see any pores. Even if you look at her hundreds of times a day, you never tire of it.

Moreover, Freya clearly noticed that whenever she glanced at him, her heart couldn't help but pound like a drum, even losing herself in a daze as if he was the only person in the whole world. Perhaps this is what they call seeing Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover!

Bradley was overwhelmed by her affectionate words, his eyes changing constantly, and finally unable to control his emotions, he pressed her into his arms and kissed her. The temperature in the carriage suddenly reached its peak.

At the same time, at the entrance of the mansion, the guard carefully reconsidered the situation and felt increasingly uneasy. He took out his phone to confess everything to Lady, but just as he was about to do so, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. Shortly after, he lost consciousness and collapsed on the ground.

A shadow swiftly passed by, dragging the man away, and soon there were new guards replacing him.

Inside the car.

Lady Lady leaned on Ravenwood's shoulder, her eyes lightly closed, her seductive red lips slightly parted. "Ravenwood, you wouldn't betray me, would you?"

The sudden question made Ravenwood stiffen, his panic difficult to hide even in his eyes.

But after all, he was a mature man who had been through ups and downs. Faced with this situation, he could handle it with ease. Soon, he relaxed his expression and laughed, "I can betray anyone, except for you, Lady. Don't forget, I still rely on your medicine for my life."

Upon hearing this, Lady Lady looked at him coldly and lifted her head. "Ravenwood, it's best for you to keep your word. Otherwise, if I find out you're up to no good, I won't hesitate to destroy you, my pawn, despite our past."

With a ruthless tone in her words, Ravenwood clenched his hand into a fist uncontrollably on his knee.

"How could I? I betrayed Sally to join you, and I have already regarded you as my life partner. I will be loyal to you in this lifetime."

Lady Lady raised the corner of her lips, but said nothing.

Ravenwood, on the other hand, became a little nervous. Although he understood Lady Lady's suspicious nature, her constant doubts were not groundless. He was afraid that she had noticed something, which was why she used these words as a warning.

Therefore, he must be even more careful from now on.

The car slowly drove into the Earl's mansion, Ravenwood got off the car, but saw Lady sitting still, so she asked curiously, "Why not come down for a cup of tea?" Lady waved her hand, "No, I have things to do, I'll leave first." Then, she suddenly remembered something and added, "As for Sally, let's go to the palace together tomorrow." Ravenwood was overjoyed to hear this. As long as Lady dared to enter the palace, she would surely fall into the trap, and then it would not be difficult to convict her of a crime! Lady didn't stay long, she signaled the bodyguard to drive and left the Earl's mansion. Just as she left, a black Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the gate. Freya and Bradley, who had disguised themselves, appeared, but were intercepted by the bodyguards at the gate. "Who are you?" Freya showed her badge, and without saying a word, the bodyguard let the two in.

The two walked into the Earl's mansion and after walking for a while, Bradley asked, "Where did you get this token from?" "Ravenwood wanted me to detoxify for him, so he gave me this token to move freely in the Earl's mansion," Freya proudly waved the token, believing that by having it, she controlled Ravenwood's lifeline. Freya trusted that since Ravenwood had actually agreed to cooperate, he wouldn't go back on his word. After all, the only person who could save him now was herself.
