Chapter 4 An Outdated Pick-Up Line The man followed and asked Radley, who had a cold expression as he walked toward the seats, “Aren’t you going to speak to Mrs. Monaghan, Radley?” “She’s not Mrs. Monaghan,” Radley replied. Furthermore… Radley’s icy gaze was fixed on Freya, who was beaming with a smile. At that moment, he wanted to see what was wrong with her, and why was she acting strange today. The two of them took their seats following that. Radley was focused on Freya. He felt as if she was like a stranger. For the past two years, Freya had been meek and submissive, with her long black hair hanging down and rarely wearing makeup in his presence. She was pretty, but also bland and unremarkable. But now, she wore vibrant makeup, applied lipstick, and played the drums. She expressed herself in a way he had never seen before. At that time, Radley gulped down a glass of wine instantly. Freya smiled after finishing the drum performance and receiving applause. Then, she casually stretched, revealing a glimpse of her fair and slender waist. She looked around and saw Isabella dancing with a man, and it seemed she was too occupied to have time for her. So, Freya got up and left the stage. “Hey, beauty,” someone next to her called out lightly. Freya wasn’t sure if the man was calling out to her, but she turned her gaze toward the voice. She saw a tall and handsome man leaning against the bar with his facial features accentuated by the soft lighting. He had a teasing smile on his face, and his suggestive narrow eyes made Freya feel uneasy. She unconsciously furrowed her brows upon seeing that. “Can I help you with something, sir?” Freya asked. Matthew Hood looked at her for a while and said, “You look familiar.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
But, Freya wasn’t impressed. “What an outdated pick-up line.” “Aren’t you the lady in Brax’s house?”
Freya was quite surprised. “Do you know my brother?” Matthew immediately laughed after hearing that. Then, he walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulders. “My name is Matthew Hood. I’m your brother’s friend. Don’t you recognize me?” However, Freya was not used to being touched by strangers and felt uncomfortable. She frowned and quickly pushed his hand away. “Don’t touch me like that. Doesn’t matter if you are my brother’s friend or not.” “Wow, I see you’re quite the feisty wildcat, with sharp claws even. “Come on, let’s have a drink.” Freya tried to refuse, but Matthew had already taken her into a private room before she could react. What was going on? How could Matthew take Freya into a private room just like that? Freya was being cautious as she quietly reached for her bag. But, she saw Matthew call over two beautiful women in the next second, and he hugged one of them on each side. Freya only watched him coldly before asking, “Does my brother act like this too?” Matthew waved his hand to have the women beside him leave upon hearing that. Then, he leaned on his knees and looked up at Freya. “Do you want to know, Kittie?” He patted the space beside him in a teasing manner. “Come here.” Freya’s expression suddenly turned cold. She stood up and looked down at him as she warned, “I’ll leave this second if you keep up like this.” Matthew smiled and made a surrender gesture. “Okay, okay, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Are we good now?” At this moment, a sign of interest could be seen in his eyes. This Kaufmann lady is interesting indeed. “Well, it remains unknown if your brother has feelings for someone or whatever the other reason is, but —” The door of the private room was suddenly banged open just as Matthew was about to get to the point.
Freya was so shocked that she almost cursed. On the other hand, Matthew frowned, and he shouted furiously, “Who the hell are you?” At that moment, another tall and handsome man with a gloomy expression was seen standing at the door. What is happening? Matthew wondered who the unexpected guest was. Is he looking for Freya? “You have quite the guts to leave for days without any news about your whereabouts.” Then, Radley walked into the room, and he stopped in front of Freya with his lips tightly pursed. A sense of malice could be felt in his voice. What is this guy doing? He’s talking to Freya? Does she know him? Matthew was even more confused now. Radley swept his cold gaze over Matthew and stopped on Freya after that. Then, he mocked with a hint of sarcasm. “I didn’t expect you to hang out in a place like this.” At this moment, Freya was furious. Who is this person? Why did the man come in and just start giving weird opinions? Besides, Freya didn’t even know him at all!
