Freya’s mind went blank for a few seconds before she stammered, “A good personality and temper, loyal to
relationships, patient toward children, able to tolerate me, and will treat me well when I’m young or even when I’m
old in the future. Of course, he has to look decent. He doesn’t have to be super handsome, but he can’t look
crooked too. His financial situation shouldn’t be too bad. I don’t dislike guys who don’t have a wealthy family
background, but there will be more common topics between us if we’re of equal status.”
Ryan gave a profound response. “Mmn.”
Freya was embarrassed. “Are my standards too high?”
“They are not high,” Ryan said as he smiled. ” Aside from looks which are inherited from parents and
uncontrollable, there is no need for a man to marry a wife if he can’t be gentle, caring, and loyal to his significant
other. He can just get a sitter.”
“You think I’m right too, right?” Freya was delighted. “I don’t want to be choosy cither, but I have no choice. It’s
precisely because I wasn’t choosy in the past that I got hurt over and over again. I… Sometimes, I’m really afraid of

“You won’t.”
Ryan gazed at Freya with his dark, deep-set eyes. “With me around, no one will ever hurt you again.”
In the small restaurant, people were walking in and out, and it was very noisy.
However, Freya felt as if her surroundings had suddenly fallen silent.
She saw Ryan’s serious expression, and it made her face flush uncontrollably. She even felt like there was a lack of
oxygen around her.
“Eat your mac and cheese. We’ll be late for the movie if you don’t start eating,” Ryan reminded her with a smile.
“Alright.”
Freya quickly lowered her head and ate her mac and cheese.
Ryan laughed when he saw her red ears.
…..
After finishing the meal, Ryan and Freya went to a nearby cinema.
When they entered, Ryan bought a box of popcorn, two cups of freshly-squeezed juice, and a hot dog.
While they watched the movie, Freya grabbed the popcorn and kept crunching on them. She even finished the hot
dog.
Having eaten too much, her mouth was dry, and she needed to drink some juice.
Halfway into the movie, Freya thought something was not right. The cup of juice that she was drinking was almost
finished, but why was the cup she was holding still quite full…?
A few seconds later, she tugged Ryan’s sleeve awkwardly.
“What’s wrong?”
The volume in the cinema was loud. Hence, Ryan bent over, put his lips next to her ear, and asked.
His warm breath caressed Freya’s earlobes like an electric current flowing through. She felt like half of her heart
went numb. Luckily, the cinema was quite dark, so her blushing face could not be seen.
However, she forgot about her bright gaze.
When Ryan caught her gaze at a close distance, he immediately understood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that Freya was not talking, he intentionally went closer to her ear and continued asking, “I asked what’s
wrong?”
His thin lips accidentally grazed her earlobe, and Freya’s body trembled. As if she had been shocked by a stronger
electric current, she immediately sat up and glared at him. “What are you doing?”
On the screen, the movie’s plot had reached an intense, exciting part, so it d*d her voice out.
“Huh?” Ryan went closer to Freya’s ear again with a confused expression. He asked, “What are you saying?”
Freya did not dare to let him get closer. She hastily dodged to another side to avoid him, but she accidentally hit a
man on the other side.
That guy turned his head and glanced at her unhappily.
Freya quickly apologized. She did not know whether that man had heard her clearly or not, but he continued
watching the movie anyway.
She shrank her head away and saw Ryan raising his eyebrows at her.
She gritted her teeth and turned Ryan’s head over frustratedly. She went close to his ear and said angrily, “I drank
your juice by accident.”
The woman’s breath was sweet and soft.
Ryan felt like he understood what Freya had felt just now.
