Only then did Yelü Mingshuo withdraw his gaze. When he met Bradley's cold eyes, he shuddered involuntarily.
The queen stood aside without speaking, but she noticed the undercurrents in the eyes of the four people. It seemed that Xingyue's hatred for Freya was deep enough. In the future, if she wanted to deal with this woman, Xingyue would be her best pawn.
"I heard that the Lord and Lady of Solterra haven't held their wedding yet. I wonder when we'll be able to attend your wedding banquet?" Yelü Qi noticed the awkward atmosphere and promptly spoke up to smooth things over.
Bradley looked at Freya, suppressed the hostility in his eyes, and curled his lips into a doting smile. "Whenever my wife wants to get married, I'm ready to marry her."
These words made Xingyue even more envious, jealous, and hateful.
Why was she made a laughingstock in the whole international community, while Freya could be lifted to the peak?
She was a princess of noble status, and as she had investigated, Freya was just an uncultured country girl.
But it was precisely because Bradley only had eyes for Freya, as if the people around them didn't exist, that made her even more confused about where she had lost.
Freya naturally noticed Xingyue's unfriendly gaze. She smiled faintly, met her gaze, and said softly, "We already have a child. Actually, whether we have a wedding or not isn't important. What matters is that my husband treats me well. As for when we'll have the wedding, once we've set the date, we will definitely invite the Yelü royal family to our wedding banquet."
Yelü Qi admired Freya's magnanimity. If Xingyue could be half as excellent as her, why would she have ended up in such a situation?
"Very well. I'm looking forward to your good news!"
Yelü Qi finished the wine in his glass, waved the empty glass at everyone, and continued, "Your Majesties of Solterra, enjoy your meal. We'll go and attend to other matters now."
Freya and Bradley both nodded.
When they sat back down in their chairs, Freya noticed that Xingyue was still staring at her with a hostile gaze.
This woman was probably going to give her another big "surprise" soon.
However, if she were too well-behaved, Freya would actually not used to it and feel bored instead.
"Hey, where's Master?"
Freya casually turned her head to look around but didn't see Mrs. Sally.
No wonder she had felt that something was missing just now. It turned out that her master had left.
Bradley said, "I saw her answer a phone call and go out just now."
As soon as he finished speaking, they saw Queen Sally hurrying towards them in a flurry. After sitting back down, she looked up at the two of them and said, "I was away for five minutes. You two didn't cause any trouble, did you?"
Freya let out a helpless sigh. So she had rushed back because she was worried about them?
"Master, you really don't need to keep an eye on us like this. If you have something to attend to, just go ahead. I promise you that I'll definitely make sure this wedding ends smoothly."
It seemed that after the banquet, the wedding would be almost over.
Queen Sally looked at the time and said, "Alright then. I really have something urgent and need to go back to Stolan first. You two remember, don't cause any trouble for me."
Freya noticed that her face didn't look quite right and asked, "What happened?"
If it wasn't something important, with her master's temper, she definitely wouldn't rush back overnight.
Moreover, she had promised Yelü Qi to keep an eye on them and would surely wait until the wedding was truly over.
But now, she kept looking at the time, which made Freya vaguely feel that something was wrong.
Queen Sally picked up her bag and said anxiously, "It's just that Wei Jiajia has been insisting on looking for the Lady. I had no choice but to have someone keep an eye on her around the clock. Who would have thought that the little girl was so clever and actually slipped out through a dog hole. We still haven't found her yet."
Upon hearing this, Freya realized the seriousness of the situation.
No wonder her master was so flustered. It turned out that the child was missing.
"Then Master, you should hurry back and take a look. If something really happens, it will be too late."
"Okay. I'll go back now."
Queen Sally pulled the chair back and walked forward. But after taking a few steps, she reminded, "Freya, remember what I said. Give your Uncle Yelü some face in everything. After all, he's an old friend of mine. It wouldn't be good to fall out with him."
"I know, Master."
Freya motioned for her to leave quickly. Wei Jiajia had stayed in Central Africa for a long time. Suddenly coming to a strange environment with all strangers around, she must have been really scared.
At this moment, she needed company.
That her master had taken Wei Jiajia in and adopted her was already more than generous. Now, she was also teaching her various skills. Compared to how strict her master had been with her in the past, this child was already very lucky.
After Queen Sally walked away, Freya looked at Bradley and said, "Master intends to train Wei Jiajia. I once suggested that Wei Jiajia replace Xin Yao as the heir of Stolan, but unfortunately, Master refused."
Bradley held her hand gently but firmly and said, "Wei Jiajia is the daughter of the Lady. It's already a risk for your master to keep her by her side. Now, she's also teaching her various skills. If she were to let her inherit the throne and in the future Wei Jiajia found out the cause of her biological mother's death, what do you think Wei Jiajia would do?"
"You're worried that she would seek revenge?" Freya actually hadn't thought that much. She only knew that she wanted to guide Wei Jiajia onto the right path and prevent her from becoming like the Lady.
"Not fearing the inevitable but fearing the unexpected. It's better to be cautious in everything."
After all, it was about handing over an entire country, and the heir must be someone one could truly trust.
As a monarch of a country, Bradley naturally understood Mrs. Sally's decision.
Freya was still sad. After all, if Wei Jiajia could have replaced Xin Yao, their family wouldn't have to face the pain of separation.
"Freya, without expectations, there will be no disappointments. Since the decision has already been made, don't think too much about it." Bradley gently put his arm around Freya's shoulders and let her lean against him.
"Just remember that anyone might leave you, but I won't. In this life, unless you don't want me, I'll always be by your side, protecting you and taking care of you."
These affectionate words were much more touching than the vows made by the newlyweds at the wedding.
Freya nestled in Bradley's arms, listening to the strong beating of his heart. Her restless heart seemed to be filled with a warm source of comfort and gradually calmed down.
Suddenly, she looked up at the man deeply and said earnestly, "Bradley, let's... have another child!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man's eyes immediately changed.
Without caring that the wedding banquet hadn't ended yet, he picked Freya up horizontally right there in public and said, "Okay. Let's go now."
"No, I meant..."
Freya was just about to explain, but the man carried her away as fast as the wind and disappeared from the banquet hall.
