Chapter 225 She’s Great in Every Way
Lately, Freya had been engrossed in a collaboration with Wilson. And just around the corner, there awaited Braxton’s upcoming engagement. Since she returned from Vroria, she had only visited Daniella twice. A different voice sounded from the opposite end of the phone; it was Daniella. “Frey, is that you?”
Freya’s nose tingled. “Grandma, it’s me.”
“You little brat, you haven’t visited me in a long time.” Being old, Daniella exhibited a childlike temperament and even sounded aggrieved when she spoke.
Freya felt even more heartbroken. “Grandma, I’ll come see you tomorrow, okay?”
“What time tomorrow? In the morning?” Daniella asked eagerly.
Laughing, Freya coaxed her. “Yes, I’ll come in the early morning and have breakfast with you.”
“Good, you must come! If you don’t, I’ll go to your home and stay there!”
Daniella chatted with Freya for a while before reluctantly returning the phone.
“Did you promise Grandma you’ll come tomorrow?” asked Radley.
Yes, even though it’s Monday, there shouldn’t be much going on at the Joint Department tomorrow,” answered Freya. By the time she hung up the phone, it was already noon. She and Sylvia had lunch together before going back upstairs for a nap.
It was 5 p.m. at Evergreen University. With a bag over his shoulder, Edward strode briskly out through the university gates.
Two young girls, appearing to be around eighteen or nineteen years of age, trailed closely behind. “Um. Edward, this is the gift for you. One of the girls stepped forward and extended a wrapped box to him.
He did not even look at her and quickened his pace. “I don’t have the time!”
Today marked the final live stream of the year for Freya. Were it not for these streams, there would seemingly be no rationale for him to meet her weekly.
Although in a bad mood, the thought of her pregnancy surfaced, and Edward genuinely hoped that she could get some good rest. The conflicting emotions further annoyed him when he saw the gift in front of him again. He stopped and cast a sidelong glance at the two girls. Standing at a towering six feet and three inches, he frowned at the girl before him. “You’re a freshman, aren’t you?”
“Y-Yes….” The girl was bashful with a flushed face.
He shook his head. “I’m not really into girls who are younger than me.”
Stunned, she stood there sadly while he continued his walk. After walking a dozen steps, he turned to look. at a small stall by the roadside. The stall was near where the girl had spoken to him earlier, and a tall figure sat on a small stool.
Jamie had one arm resting on his knee, supporting his chin. His eyes and eyebrows carried a hint of laziness, yet his whole aura exuded a cold and intimidating vibe. Edward was pleasantly surprised and quickly approached. “Jamie, why are you here?”
Jamie smiled. “It’s the weekend. Is it weird for me to pick up my dear brother from school? You’re in such a hurry. Are you going to the Kaufmann Residence?”
“Yes, today is Frea’s last live stream of the year. I want to go early and not waste any time.”
Jamie nodded, smiling with a sense of ambiguity. “Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride.” He walked with Edward to the roadside, where an old Buick was parked. The indicators of its pre-owned status were evident because of the numerous blemishes and marks on the car’s exterior.
Edward was surprised. Jamie, did you buy a car?”
“Yes, I got it for eight thousand. Jamie entered the car.
As the car started, it made a rough and rusty sound. Edward laughed. “This car would be a tractor if it’s any louder.”
“Only when it’s started. Once the car started, he glanced at Edward. “I heard that girl confessing to you just now. I didn’t expect you to be so popular at school.
Edward felt a bit embarrassed by his teasing. “Jamie, weren’t you also popular in school?” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Jamie laughed heartily. “Yes, but back then, I liked girls who were a bit younger than me. It made me feel at more protective sense of masculinity toward them.”
Edward, however, fell silent. The area in front of Evergreen University was bustling with students. As Jamie drove slowly, the car emitted peculiar noises occasionally. He turned to look at Edward.
“You prefer older women, do you?” As he witnessed Edward turn his head to look out the window in silence, Jamie’s eyes and eyebrows carried a hint of a smile. “Older women are great too. My little brother! has grown up.”
Jamie… I know I can’t hide anything from you, but please don’t expose me in front of her…” Edward turned his head, his eyes filled with seriousness.
Pondering for a moment, Jamie parked the car by the roadside. “Then, tell me, what do you like about.
her?”
“She… She’s great, you know? During the time you were in a coma, if it hadn’t been for her, who knows where we’d be right now…” Edward did not continue. In his life, that was the only time he had set foot in the entertainment industry. Most people might have fallen into decadence there, but he was fortunate enough to meet the angel of his life, Freya.
Jamie sighed. “I know she saved us, but that’s because she’s a good person. What I’m asking is, what do you like about her?”.
Edward furrowed his brows. “What’s the difference? I think she’s great in every way.”
“Great in every way, huh?” Jamie sighed deeply.
Edward’s hidden secret finally had someone to confide in. As Jamie drove slowly toward the Kaufmann Residence, Edward slowly explained the little details of his interactions with Freya. “She never realized that she was the one who needed protection, always thinking about protecting others.”
He had a smile on his face. “I know she probably doesn’t like me, so I can only be a well-behaved little brother.” At that, he felt a bit desolate.
“A well-behaved little brother? You’re not well-behaved at all’ Jamie laughed. “Our family isn’t known for being well-behaved”
Pondering. Edward pulled out his phone and navigated to Freya’s social media account. Jamie, she s truly wonderful, but I’ve always felt like I can never truly reach her in this lifetime. Yet, it’s comforting to have someone like her, skin to the distant son in the sky, cading in warmth upon me
Jamie listened to his words all the way. He couldd tell that Edward had been holding it in his heart for a long time. When the car arrived in the eare of the Kanipann Reudence. Jamie interrupted Edward
Edward, we’re here”
Tl be going then You can go back Edward whole being were filled with excitement
In the car, Jamie watched Edward’s figure walking very with strides. When he arrived at the gate of the Kaufmann Residence, he stood still for a moment, anden his steps seemed to become lighter Igniting a cigarette be dress deep drag and raised his gaze, exhaling moke rings into the air Amid his tongue clicking, which did not match his elegant and noble appearance, the smoke rings fell on the yellowed roof of the car and dissipated. “She’s great in every way_
The phone at his hip emitted a ring, and he retrieved it to glance. On his aging device, a fese cri letters gradually manifested on his lock screen.
