Let me go, Mr. Hill [By Shallow South] Chapter 2169
“Well, you’ve said so much and thought about what will happen after you and Ryan get together. However, you’ve
never once said that you don’t like him.”
Catherine cocked her head to the side and raised her eyebrows. “I thought you would say, ‘How can he like me? I’m
his family, and I only treat him like family. I don’t have any feelings for him. How do I solve this problem?
“…”
Stunned, Freya’s pretty face flushed red.
“It’s alright. We’ve been friends for so many years. It’s nothing.” Catherine winked at Freya playfully. “Ryan is
handsome, steady and smart, romantic and caring. He was even by your side, helping you when you felt utterly
helpless. It’s not weird that you’re unknowingly attracted to him.”
“I… You don’t think I’m an easy person?” Freya asked embarrassedly as she bit her lip. “I just went through a

“Stop right there. What does liking someone and being a divorcee with a child have to do with each other?”
Catherine raised her hand to interrupt Freya. “Besides, didn’t Rodney get married not long after he divorced you?
Who says someone has to carry and wallow in past hurt after ending a relationship that has wounded them?”
“When you… got a divorce with Shaun, you couldn’t forget about it too, didn’t you?” Freya glanced at Catherine.
“That was different. You and Rodney only got married at the beginning because of the child, and your relationship
only stabilized after the child came along. However, just as you both were working to keep the marriage, Sarah
appeared. From your interaction with Rodney during that period, I wouldn’t believe it if you said you fell in love with
him. At most, you liked him a little. Moreover, you were tempted by his good looks, and you wanted to get along
with him for Dani’s sake.”
Catherine hit the nail on the head. “Besides, if the person he had an affair with weren’t Sarah, you might not hate
him this much.”
Freya thought, ‘As expected from my best friend that I’ve known for the longest time. She knows me better than I
know myself.’
“Cathy, I really can’t understand why Ryan likes me.”
Freya looked at the ceiling lights of the lounge with her eyes blank and confused. “He’s so outstanding. It’s not an
exaggeration to say that he’s a person favored by the heavens. On the other hand, I’ve been repeatedly
abandoned because I lost competing with other women. He might be curious about me for now and find me
interesting because he has never had me before. Besides, it’s the nature of guys to seek exciting things.
“I admit that I do like him a little. I noticed it when you asked me questions that morning when you were brewing
coffee. However, I just can’t. Nothing will come out of this. If wooing Patrick back then required 50 percent of effort,
I’d need 100 percent of effort and 200 percent of courage if I were to be with Ryan.
“I’ve been hurt twice. One of those times was even a failed marriage. I don’t dare to try again. If I fall in love with
someone wholeheartedly and get abandoned once more, what would I do?

“I used to think that I’d try starting a new relationship in the future, but it would be with someone I’d think would be
suitable and not one that I love. That way, I can control my feelings and back out anytime to prevent myself from
getting hurt.
“If I were to be with Ryan, I definitely won’t be able to control my feelings. Although I like him a little now, it’ll grow
into deeper love.”
Freya’s voice was hoarse when she said the last word. She sniffed hard, afraid that her tears would fall.
She only dared to say those words to Catherine.
It was all her heartfelt thoughts.
Catherine understood her, and there were traces of concern in her eyes.
Ultimately, Freya had been hurt too deeply by Patrick and Rodney. She had lost confidence.
Catherine thought, ‘How did my wonderful sister get ruined into this state?’
D*mn that Rodney. She would not let him off easily.
