Isabella must haye been having a blast with Raven and the others over the weekend, because she hadn’t heard from Freya at all. By Monday, Freya went to work at Cole as usual.
It was almost time to get off work when Jessica called and invited her to dinner. After they finished eating, Freya went to the bathroom.
That’s when she ran into Harry.
Freya didn’t stop her steps and walked past him without acknowledging him.
Harry, however, stopped in his tracks and turned his head to watch her.
Freya noticed but didn’t pay him any attention.
When Freya came out of the bathroom, she saw that Harry hadn’t left, still standing at the spot where they had just crossed paths.
When he saw her come out, he turned his head toward her and asked, “Are you eating over here?”
His tone made it seem like he had been waiting specifically for her.
“Yes,” she answered curtly. “Do you think I’m stalking you, Mr. Becker?”
Harry paused for a moment before replying, “That’s not what I meant.”
Freya didn’t understand what he meant and didn’t want to understand either. Without another word, she turned and left, and Harry didn’t try to stop her.
After leaving the restaurant, Jessica wanted to buy a birthday gift for her mother, so Freya went with her to a jewelry store.
Jessica was drawn to a set of jade necklaces. She had just chatted briefly with the store manager when someone’s voice suddenly came from the door: “Hello, I’m here to pick up the jewelry.”
Freya paused upon hearing the voice.
“Ah, Mr. Brown,” the store manager greeted him immediately, smiling. He apologized to Freya and
Jessica, then walked toward him. “Mr. Brown, the jewelry you customized is all packed up for you-”

“Mag?” Logan Brown walked up to Freya after confirming her identity. “Are you here to order jewelry as well?”
Freya glanced at him but didn’t speak.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Logan’s expression dimmed. “Mag…”
Freya turned her face away, ignoring him. She then asked Jessica, “Are you sure you want to choose
this one?”
Jessica, who hadn’t seen Logan before, observed his refined and gentlemanly appearance. She nudged Freya’s waist lightly and whispered, “Who is that?”
Freya didn’t respond.
But Logan didn’t leave. He stood there, staring at Freya, and asked, “Mag, how have you been
recently?”
Freya bit her lip and finally turned to face him. Her voice was cold when she asked, “What do you
want to say?”
“I…” Logan’s voice softened. “Mag, do you have to speak to your father like this?”
Freya coldly responded, “And how do you think I should speak to you?”
“Your father knows he has done things wrong in the past, but you know, I’ve always had you in my
heart.”
Freya laughed bitterly. “Oh, so you’ve always had me in your heart, but you allowed Raven to get
close to my husband, and you let my husband take good care of her–tell me, how can you say that
you’ve always had me in your heart?”
“Mag…” Logan frowned. “I understand your feelings, but Raven and Matteo truly love each other. Love can’t be forced, so why-”
“Yes, love can’t be forced. So, your affair back then was perfectly justified, and now she’s just like her
mother, proudly playing the role of the mistress, right?”
Logan’s face darkened. “Mag! When did you become so extreme?”
“Extreme?” Freya sneered. “Should I immediately divorce Matteo to make way for Raven? Would
that be less extreme?”

“Logan, what happened?” At this moment, Tracy and Sophia entered.
Tracy immediately noticed Freya and smiled. “Isn’t this Mag? Long time no see, you’re even more
beautiful.”
“Mom…” Hearing Tracy praise Freya, Sophia became unhappy.
She had always known Freya was beautiful, but she hadn’t expected her to look even more beautiful after a few years.
Looking at Freya’s fair and delicate skin, her outstanding temperament,Sophia couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.
But then she remembered, what difference did it make that Freya was beautiful? Her future
brother–in–law still didn’t like her, he only liked her sister, Raven.
Thinking this, Sophia finally felt a bit better.
Logan looked at Tracy. “Sister–in–law, why are you here?”
“We hadn’t seen you for so long, so we came to visit,”
Sophia interrupted. Then, seeing the jewelry box the store manager had opened, she looked at Freya and purposely said loudly, “Is this the anniversary gift you customized for Auntie? It’s so beautiful!”
Logan smiled. “Yes.”
“Every year, you prepare such expensive gifts for Auntie in advance, always giving her surprises. You’re really good to Auntie,” Sophia added with a smile.
Logan chuckled.
