Chapter 287 Wishful Thinking
Zane lay on the ground, only wrapped in a towel, which had come undone when he fell, barely covering his lower body. And he was sprawled out in an awkward position. Luna stood in the living room, holding a glass of water, expressionless as she watched the scene before her. Elowen looked at Zane on the ground in astonishment.
What on earth was happening?
Then came a thunderous roar, “Ahhhhhhhhhh!”
Freya quickly covered Kai’s ears. As Zane got up, his bare bottom was exposed. He hastily fled while still wrapped in the towel.
The door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Kai jumped in fright.
Freya stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the people below, and asked, “What’s going on?”
Luna calmly took a sip of water and replied, “He came out of the shower, wearing only a towel. He saw me drinking water and asked me to pour him a glass too. While he was drinking, he didn’t see where he was going, tripped over a chair leg, and fell. The tea cup also shattered…”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Freya was at a loss for words, feeling surprised that Luna’s concern was about the broken cup and not whether Zane was hurt or not.
“Zane is good to you, you should show some concern for him.” Freya said.
After all, Orion was already married. The chances of anything happening between Luna and him were slim to none. Although Zane might not have the same age and experience as Luna, the fact that he genuinely liked her made up for it. Actually, dating Zane didn’t sound too bad, did it? Zane inherited his mother’s beauty.
Luna noticed Freya’s matchmaking attempt and really wanted to roll her eyes at her.
“You’re wishful thinking,” Luna said.
Freya blinked, “How am I wishful thinking?”
“I’m older than you, so what? Are you trying to make me your younger sister-in-law?” Luna replied.
Elowen couldn’t help but chuckle.
“As long as they both like each other, age is not a problem.” Commented Elowen.
Freya chimed in, “Exactly, exactly…”
“Enough already. Besides, I don’t like him,” Luna said. “I have to go.”
Freya walked down with Kai in her arms. “I was just joking with you, and you got mad.”
Luna explained, “I can’t possibly be mad. I’m just afraid that Zane will be embarrassed to see me, and I also have work to do.”
Freya understood.
Luna had already bought her ticket online. Freya handed Kai to Elowen and said, “I’ll see Luna off.”
Elowen took Kai and replied, “You two go ahead.”
Freya and Luna left the house and hailed a taxi to the high-speed rail station. On the way, Freya asked Luna, “Do you hate Orion?”
Luna replied, “No.”
Going around in circles and still not being able to be together only meant that they were not destined for each other. So why blame fate and others, and ruin herself?
She smiled at Freya and said, “I will strive to live well, don’t worry.”
Freya nodded.
“Freya, recently, I’ve noticed that you don’t look well. Has Elijah been unfaithful?” Luna suddenly asked.
Freya quickly shook her head, “No, no, it’s not because of that. It’s because of work.”
“Okay, take care of yourself and don’t let yourself become a haggard-looking woman.” Luna said.
Freya rubbed her cheeks and asked, “Is my appearance really that bad?”
Luna answered, “Yes.”
Freya realized that she needed to pay attention. If she continued like this, it might not be good for the child in her belly. Thinking of the child, she couldn’t help but place her hand on her abdomen. This child, coming at this time, brought both joy and worry.
Luna looked at Freya’s hand and asked, “Freya, what’s wrong? Are you hungry?”
Freya quickly let go of her hand and said, “No.”
After seeing Luna off, Freya planned to go to the supermarket to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables. She would take a day off and rest well today. When the car arrived at the supermarket, she saw Orion’s car. She was about to go up and say hello, but it was Haley who got out of the car, wearing a duckbill hat and large black sunglasses. It seemed like she was hiding her appearance.
Freya stopped in her tracks. Now that Haley and Orion were husband and wife, it wasn’t strange for her to drive his car. She didn’t want to have any interaction with Haley, so she deliberately went around her, planning to enter through another entrance. But then she saw Haley sneaking off to the underground parking lot.
Freya found it strange, wondering if Haley Holt had some secret that she didn’t want others to see. Driven by curiosity, Freya quietly followed her. She hid behind a pillar and saw Haley meeting a man!
