"It seems that even if I am not by your side, you can handle everything well." Bradley held Freya's hand tightly, a fleeting sense of loneliness passing through his eyes.

As a man, naturally, he hopes that his beloved woman can be protected under his wings.

But the fact proves that Freya is a smart woman who doesn't need his protection at all.

This has always been a hurdle that Bradley can't overcome in his heart. Sometimes when he thinks about it, he only feels a deep sense of frustration.

Freya inadvertently looked up and saw his expression, knowing that she had once again made him feel insecure. She stopped in her tracks, tiptoed, reached out and pinched his face, saying, "No, I need you."

Bradley said, "You can handle everything on your own, my presence only seems superfluous."

Freya became a little anxious and quickly explained, "It's not like that!"

Upon hearing this, Bradley looked at her steadily, waiting for her to continue.

He saw the little woman looking at him with utmost seriousness, speaking slowly and deliberately, "I haven't been sleeping well these days when you're not around. I get startled by various noises at night. I'm worried that I'll encounter danger as soon as I close my eyes. If something happens, I won't see you and Yara, and I won't be able to have a child for you."

Although I can handle these things, I act very nervously. I really wish you could accompany me and share these things with me. But I know you have more important things to deal with. If I say a word, you will definitely rush over.

At that time, all your efforts will be in vain. This is not the result I want. So, even if it's difficult and painful, I can only bear it on my own."

Speaking of this, Freya paused, her eyes already filled with tears, leaning on Bradley's chest, her voice hoarse, "So, don't burden yourself too much. It's not that I don't need you, but when I need you, I also hope not to affect you."

With that, even Bradley's eyes were moist.

He reached out and touched her head, his voice hoarse, "Silly girl, in important matters, nothing is more important than you."

"Yes, I know." Freya buried her head in his arms, holding him tightly.

Although he didn't say it, Freya has always known his thoughts.

This man loves her more than himself, just as she loves him, more than herself.

The two of them are already inseparable, neither can do without the other.

As they held each other tightly, the servants of the mansion came out to greet them respectfully, "Dr. Jane, the Earl has been waiting in the living room for a long time."

"Okay." Freya left Bradley's embrace and walked hand in hand towards the living room.

As soon as they stepped through the door, they saw Ravenwood sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Count, please have a seat!" Ravenwood saw Freya enter, accompanied by another man, so he set down his tea cup, stood up from the sofa, and nodded at them.

Both of them nodded and sat down opposite Ravenwood.

Ravenwood went straight to the point, "I am already aware of the incident at LadyManor that you two followed. Because of this, I have prepared tea for your arrival."

Freya nodded and said, "Since the Count is already aware, I will not beat around the bush." She then went straight to the topic, "What are Lady's current plans?"

Without hesitation, Lady already suspects that this is a trap, which is why she refuses to enter the palace to meet the queen.

Summer must be clear about Lady's attitude in order to make the next plan.

"Lady is naturally suspicious, and Ran's exposure has made her alert. Although she has agreed to enter the palace to meet the queen, I have a premonition that Lady's thoughts will definitely involve some scheming. It won't be so easy to make her surrender obediently this time."

Ravenwood knows Lady to some extent; this woman has always played with deceit since she was young, making her a difficult woman to deal with.

Before he betrayed Sally, he had helped Sally deal with her, but every time Lady managed to escape. Ravenwood still can't figure out how Lady managed to escape right under his nose, even being able to secretly erase the evidence he left behind, unnoticed.

It is because of this that Sally has been unable to deal with Lady and has caused trouble by keeping her under control, leading to the current situation.

"No need to worry, Count. As long as you bring Madame Lady to the palace, I have a way to deal with her." Summer is confident in her plan.

Now that Ravenwood has pledged his allegiance again and there is cooperation inside the palace, along with the fact that her master has already neutralized the poison, she has no worries and can fully focus on dealing with Lady.

Ravenwood nodded, "Okay, tomorrow I will enter the palace with Lady. You can take action accordingly."

"Good, we will meet in the palace tomorrow."

That night.

Freya finished washing up and lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, carefully pondering the words Ravenwood said during the day.

For a woman as suspicious as Lady, Ran's exposure has already aroused her vigilance. Why did she agree so easily to enter the palace?

Could it be a trap?

Freya couldn't figure it out. What exactly is Lady plotting again!

During the day, she had vowed to catch Lady, but now, upon deeper reflection, Freya suddenly had some doubts about her plan.

After all, even a woman of her master's level fell into Lady's trap, almost losing her life. Ravenwood, a highly suspicious and vigilant man, was led by Lady as well.

From this, it can be seen that Lady is very cunning.

Moreover, Ravenwood also mentioned Lady's previous deeds, each time managing to escape from life-threatening situations and ultimately turning the tables.

Freya knew that Lady understood the art of disguise, which was why she could safely escape. However, the art of disguise was too profound, and no one could predict what Lady would look like after disguising herself. It was not so easy to come up with a response. At this moment, she could only remain unchanged and adapt to the situation when the time came. As she was thinking, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, disturbing Freya's thoughts. Looking over, she clearly saw the silhouette swaying on the frosted glass door. It was Bradley taking a shower! Remembering the many affectionate words she had spoken today, Freya now felt extremely embarrassed. With the man taking a shower again, her mind was full of yellow paint! Freya patted her hot face, attempting to shift her gaze, but her eyes uncontrollably kept peeking towards the direction of the bathroom. Even though there was a door between them, she could still clearly see the man's tall figure.

Just thinking about the little things the two of them shared, she felt her whole body burning up.

"Heart..."

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the bathroom. Freya abruptly snapped back to reality, only to see the man standing at the doorway.

In that moment, two lines of uncontrollable nosebleeds gushed forth.
