Chapter 45 The Heirloom Ring
After Sylvia left, Freya changed the TV channel again with the remote control.
Even though she had seen some of the shows two years prior, she couldn’t recall the ending, so re-
watching them felt new.

Freya was engrossed in the show when her phone rang, and when she checked it, she saw that
Radley was calling.
Freya clicked her tongue. The last time, this jerk informed her that his grandma was ill and wanted to
speak with her later that evening to discuss something, but ten days later, she had still not heard from
him.
Answering the phone lazily, Freya said, “What’s up, Mr. Monaghan?”
On the other end of the line, Radley’s voice was cold and stern. “Freya, is my grandma with you?”
Freya’s relaxed nerves tightened instantly. She sat up straight and asked, “Why would she be with me?
Did she get lost?”
Radley responded in an icy tone. “Yes. She kept saying she wanted to see you, so I thought she might
come to you after she recovered.”
“Come to me?” Freya hurriedly got up. Tm leaving right now to look for her. You should also send
someone to find her!”
Where would Grandma go if she got lost?
Freya, dressed in her home clothes, got into and started her car, only to realize she had no memory of
anything. Her entwined feelings of affection and anxiety eventually led her to Smalzot Yard, where
Radley lived. She’d overheard some young girls talking about the general direction of Smalzot Yard at
a banquet she’d been to before.
Grandma thought Radley and I hadn’t divorced yet, so she must have gone to Radley’s place!
As Freya approached Smalzot Yard, she noticed an elderly person walking along the roadside from a
distance. Worried about Daniella, Freya dashed out of the car and went after her.
“Grandma!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh, it’s Frey! I was just going to see you.” Daniella smiled sweetly.
“Grandma, why are you walking around by yourself?” Freya spoke somewhat irritably and bitterly as
she had been worried sick this whole time.
Daniella took Freya’s hand and gave her something cool to the touch. “Frey, I’ve been meaning to give
you this but I kept forgetting.”
“What is it?” Freya drew her hand back and discovered a gemstone ring with delicate patterns, clearly
an antique.
This is a precious Monaghan family heirloom that we passed down to the daughter-in-law. I didn’t give
it to your mother-in-law, but I’m giving it to you.” Daniella took Freya’s hand and whispered, “Don’t tell
your mother-in-law.”
Freya felt choked up as tears started to well up in her eyes Tunderstand Grandma Let me take you
home.”
Im not going home. I’m going to Frey’s house.” Daniella took Freya’s hand and dragged her to wal
toward the gate of Smalrot Yard

Freya hesitated. She and Radley were already divorced, so it wasn’t her house.
When she got out of the car carlier, she had been too focused on catching up with Daniella and hadn’
taken her phone, so she couldn’t contact Radley,
By the time they arrived at the entrance. Daniella had been dragging Freya for about half the street.
She looked at Freya with a smile on her face.
“Frey,” said Daniella.
The guard at Smalzot Yard was surprised to see Freya, but he quickly opened the gate when he saw
Daniella with her.
This was Freya’s “first time” in Smalzot Yard. The landscaping was lovely, and the trees along the road
shaded half of the sky. The air was thick with the scent of trees.
Daniella talked to Freya as she walked holding her hand
They passed through a flower garden and a shady path before reaching the villa’s entrance. Despite
having only two floors, the villa was enormous As Freya observed the villa, she remembered her
brother telling her that she had lived in the villa for two years
Not long after they arrived, the sound of a car’s engine could be heard behind them.
Freya turned around and saw Radley’s car approaching. He quickly exited the vehicle, glanced over at
Freya, and was momentarily startled before nodding to acknowledge her presence.
At this, Freya nodded subtly.
Daniella also saw him and asked, “Radley, you’re home! Why aren’t you at the company at this time?”
Radley quickly stepped forward and helped Daniella. Grandma, you should tell the butlers when you
leave the house next time. Let them take you, okay?”
At this point. Daniella had become slightly more conscious. She questioned with a frown. “Did I not tell
them? I just want to look for Frey. How did I get here?”
In the living room. Freya sat with Daniella on the sofa, while Radley went to the side to make a phone
call. She could faintly hear words like “found” and so on.
Shortly after. Radley turned around to face them.
Daniella’s primary reason for leaving the house was to look for Freya. During all of this, Daniella spoke
to Radley.
“Radley, I brought a gift for Freya. Take a look! It was given to me by your great-grandmother. I should
have given it to your mother, but knowing that it would eventually be given to Frey, I gave it to her.”
Freya, who had been clutching the thumb ring the entire time, quickly released her grip and handed the
thumb ring to Radley
“Grandma said this is a family heirloom Here, take…” Freya’s words were not finished yet, and Daniella
frowned and pulled her hand back.
“This is to be passed on to the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law! Why would you give it to
Radley? Don’t mind him! How dare he take what is yours!”
When Freya heard that, she felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.
Radley’s eyes were locked on Freya intensely. He assured Freya, “Grandma gave it to you so you
should keep it.”
After all, she used to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Monaghan family. Grandma probably wants to
give it to her because she thinks Freya deserves it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFreya felt a little overwhelmed with the thumb ring. She frowned and chatted with Daniella for a while..
“Frey, it looks like you’ve gotten chubby Daniella smiled and looked at Freya’s waist. “Are you
pregnant?”
When this was said, Freya’s heart skipped a beat. Grandma sure is sharp-eyed.
Radley on the opposite side glanced over her lower abdomen, making Freya slightly flustered.
She smiled awkwardly, “Grandma, no, I’ve just been doing well lately and gained some weight.”
“Oh, that’s great. Take care of your health so you can give me a grandson or granddaughter sooner. I
can help you care for the baby.”
Radley silently scanned Freya’s face with his eyes.
How could she be pregnant? He’d only been with Freya a few times, and she’d eventually taken the
pill. He vaguely remembered that her waist was extremely thin, and now it seemed to be a little
rounder.
I’m guessing her life was much happier after leaving the Monaghans, Radley pursed his lips tightly, his
cold expression concealing unfathomable emotions.
Seeing how Freya and Daniella were happily chatting, they successfully persuaded her to return to the
Monaghans mansion shortly after. A car was already waiting in front of the door, so Freya reluctantly
sent Daniella into the car and watched her leave.
Now, at the villa entrance, all that could be seen were Radley and her standing side by side.
At this, Freya felt a little awkward. She turned around to look at him, “Mr. Monaghan, I’m gonna go first.
This…”
It’s that thumb ring again!
The thumb ring that represented the identity of the Monaghan’s daughter-in-law.
Radley’s throat twitched, and he didn’t feel like getting it back. With a hardened expression, he
responded in a cold tone, The Monaghans don’t take back anything we’ve given out.”
At that moment, Freya’s polite smile faded away, and she grumbled internally.
She originally thought this thumb ring was very important, but since Radley was behaving that way, she
decided to keep it. It looked like an antique after all!

“Okay, I should go.” Freya took two steps out, but still felt uneasy and turned back to retort, “Is the
security
at the Monaghans’ mansion so bad that Grandma can just walk out like this?”
“Since Grandma has Alzheimer’s, you should hire someone to stay by her side and care for her.”
