Chapter 229 Orion’s ‘Child’
“Why did you come?” she apologized, “I heard from Zane that you were leaving, and I wanted to meet you, but I got caught up in things and forgot to contact you.”
Luna had lifeless eyes, even swollen, and her voice was hoarse, “Freya…”
Seeing her like this, Freya’s heart clenched, “What happened?”
“Orion… he betrayed me.”
Luna’s voice choked again as she spoke.
Freya quickly hugged her, “Let’s find a place to talk.”
Ronan took the opportunity to offer his assistance, “I know a place, quiet and undisturbed. If you want to have a drink or two, it can be arranged.”
Freya was focused on Luna’s situation and glanced at Ronan, “Lead the way.”
“Alright.” Ronan hurried off to get the car.
Freya helped Luna into the car.
Before long, they arrived at their destination – a private club, with Ronan having his own reserved room.
Freya held onto Luna as they walked in, and when Ronan tried to follow, he was glared at by Freya, “What are you doing? We have something to talk about, do you need to listen too?”
Ronan felt unwilling to be rejected. He was busy running around, and now he was being shut out?
“Fine, you two go in. I’ll wait outside.”
With that, Ronan took a couple of steps back.
Freya thanked him. Although Ronan was annoying, he did help this time. Ronan smiled, “No need for thanks. If anything, I should be thanking you. It’s thanks to you that my mom’s surgery was successful and she’s able to recover now…”
Before he could finish his words, the door slammed shut with a bang. Freya couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense.
Ronan was left standing at the doorway.
“What’s going on?” as soon as they sat down, Freya asked, “Orion is so infatuated with you, how could he betray you…”
Luna bit her lip and chuckled self-mockingly, “Infatuated with me?”
The next second, she couldn’t help but let out a low growl, “If he was infatuated with me, he wouldn’t sleep with other women, and now a child is involved.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
This news was a bit too explosive for Freya.
“Could there be a misunderstanding?”
Luna shook her head and said, “No, Orion admitted it himself, that he had been with someone else.”
“How did things end up like this?”
Freya was confused.
“You know, because I refused to quit my job, our relationship was once again obstructed by his mother. Actually, his mother’s words were really hurtful, saying that I bring bad luck, that I touch dead bodies every day…”
Freya pursed her lips, “Well, maybe if you took a step back and quit your job, Orion would take care of you for the rest of your life…”
“Freya,” Luna looked at her, “I refuse to give up my job. It’s not just that, I’m afraid that one day in the future, he’ll betray me and I’ll have nothing. I don’t really believe in marriage, I… I’m scared.”
She paused, “You know what? My dad remarried, and the other woman brought along a son. How long has it been since my mom passed away? Not even a year, and they were a loving couple back then. But now he’s remarried, I understand, he can’t live alone forever. But I can’t accept how he treats me differently after getting a new wife…”
Luna thought about going home and seeing her things being thrown away, her room occupied by the stepmother’s son. She was shocked, angry.
Her father said, “You’re a girl, you’ll get married sooner or later, and besides, you don’t come back often. I let your younger brother stay in the room.”
Her mother only gave birth to her, where did her younger brother come from?
He’s raising someone else’s child as his own?
Freya hugged her, comforting her, but not knowing what to say to console her. She understood Luna’s state of mind, just like when her father was with Yolanda Steele.
“Orion…” Freya was trying to say something.
Luna sarcastically chuckled and interrupted her, “He slept with the Miss from the C&E Group, the daughter-in-law candidate favored by his mother. Now, they’ve got a child, and they’ll probably get married soon.”
Freya furrowed her brows and speculated, “Orion’s mother has something to do with this, could that be it?”
