You Are My Mr Right

Freya’s gaze landed on Elijah’s hand wrapped around the waist of the girl. Her eyes dimmed. Her heart felt like it was hooked, faintly aching.

“Did you come to find me?” Elijah looked at her, his gaze unwavering, afraid to miss any of her expressions.

Freya pretended to be nonchalant, a flawless smile on her face. “No, I was just passing by.”

“I have things to attend to, I’ll leave first.” She immediately turned and headed back to her car, urging the driver, “Faster!”

She wanted to leave this place quickly. As the car drove away, she dared not look towards the entrance, fearing to see Elijah embracing someone else. At this moment, she just wanted to slap herself twice. She actually wanted to approach Elijah to reconcile, to confess!

“He is your enemy!” she muttered to herself, mockingly laughing, “Freya, I think you’ve gone mad, been drugged, to like a man who caused the death of your child!”

“Madam…” the driver spoke from the rearview mirror.

She was too agitated, even talking to herself. Was that normal?

Freya wiped her face, composed herself, and said, “I’m fine.”

“Back to the mansion?” the driver asked.

Freya shook her head, “To the hospital.”

Soon the car arrived at the hospital. Freya walked in, reaching Leo’s room. Just as she was about to knock, she overheard Yolanda’s voice.

“Son, your dad’s condition is severe, not many days left. You have to learn to please him. Also, be careful with Freya. In case she takes away your father’s wealth, his money should be yours. You’re his only son.”

Zane didn’t like hearing his mother’s words. “Mom, my dad isn’t dead yet, and you’re already thinking about his wealth?”

“I’m just planning ahead for you,” Yolanda said.

She knew Leo still cared about Freya, so she had to be cautious.

“Son, don’t be foolish. Be sweet to your dad during this time, keep him happy. Don’t cause any trouble. Also, don’t let Freya meet your dad. In case your dad, in a moment of confusion, gives his wealth to her, what will happen to us? We’re not married, and you’re still considered an illegitimate child. So, we have to be cautious.”

Zane, who lacked Yolanda’s cunning, said, “I’m my dad’s son. How could he ignore me?”

“Elowen Noir disappeared for half a year just to get a divorce, but he still won’t agree. I think he still has feelings for that woman. He doesn’t care about us.” Yolanda was upset.

Even though Elowen wanted a divorce, Leo resisted. It showed Leo never intended to marry her. So what did that make her?

Freya came to see her father, but since she didn’t find him, she overheard Yolanda’s words to Zane.

Leo still had some family assets, and Yolanda was already calculating them when he was alive.

Freya didn’t want to meet Yolanda, turned around to leave, and saw Leo coming back for an examination. Upon seeing her, he called, “Freya.”

Freya turned her head.

“Are you here to see me?” Leo smiled.

Freya, usually distant from herself, actively came to him, making Leo happy.

Freya nodded, “Yes.”

Leo warmly said, “Come in.”

Freya declined, “Next time.”

Because she knew Yolanda was present.

“Oh, Freya is here. Coming to see your dad?” Yolanda heard the sound, opened the door and said.

Freya couldn’t stand her. She thought Zane had fewer schemes than her.

Leo was sick, yet Yolanda was thinking about family wealth.

How much did she really mean to Leo?

Did she come for the money?

“I’m his daughter. Is it abnormal for me to visit him?” Freya retorted.

Yolanda’s face changed, “Didn’t you hate your dad all along? Why suddenly become his daughter? Are you trying to get his property?”

Freya didn’t want to argue with her, but Yolanda’s repeated talk about wealth made her uncomfortable. Intentionally, she said, “I never thought about it before. Now, thanks to your reminder, I’ll have to please my dad well and get him to share more property with me!”

Yolanda was infuriated. “You…”

“Enough.” Leo was annoyed. He didn’t want to be argued at the moment. “I’m not dead yet, but you two are driving me crazy!”

Freya, considering her father’s condition, said, “Dad, thank you.”

She rarely thanked herself like this. Surprisingly, Leo felt a bit moved. “This is what a dad should do.”

Father and daughter looked at each other, forgetting past grievances.

Yolanda, bewildered, said, “Leo, why does she thank you? What have you done for her?”

“It’s none of your business.” Leo said coldly.

He walked into the room, addressing Yolanda, “I don’t need you here. Go back.”

“How can you be alone? I’ll stay with you.” She tried to please him.

Knowing her intentions, Leo directly exposed her, “Are you hoping I’ll give you all my property?”

Panicked, Yolanda explained, “I don’t. I just hope you won’t mistreat your son. He has a criminal record. He might not get a good job in the future. You should think about him.”

Leo ignored her and lay down on the bed.

Freya left quietly. Zane followed her out of the hospital.

“Freya.”

Zane called her.

Freya looked back at him, her expression cold. “What do you want?”

“I heard about it. The specialist was recommended by you. Thank you.” Zane was sincere. It was different from his previous hostility.

“He’s my dad too. No need for thanks.”

After saying this, Freya walked away. There was nothing more to say to Zane Stone.

…

Headence Group.

The moment Freya turned around, Elijah immediately released the girl. The girl’s name was Elara, Elijah’s secretary recruited by Xander. Of course, Elijah didn’t need a secretary, but Xander kept her because she was good-looking, regardless of her abilities or work experience, and just had a prestigious university degree. If he wanted to make Freya jealous, at least the girl needed to have good conditions.

“Mr Silverton.”

Elijah pulled back his hand, and her heart sank.

“Go and call Xander.” Elijah said indifferently, walking out.

Elara, puzzled by his sudden change from warmth to coldness, couldn’t understand what he meant. Just as she arrived, Xander walked over to Elijah’s car. “Mr Silverton.”

“She saw it just now, but she didn’t get angry. Does she not care about me at all?” Elijah asked him.

Elijah was a shrewd person, but in this matter with Freya, he became confused. Perhaps it was a case of not seeing the forest for the trees, or maybe he was too eager to win Freya. Hence, he believed Xander’s words. Seeing Freya smiling at him without jealousy, he felt a deep sense of loss.

“Could she be pretending?” Xander suggested.

Elijah felt irritated, thinking Xander’s idea was useless. Freya didn’t get jealous at all.

“Get rid of her.” Elijah said, leaving in his car.

Xander stood in place, feeling Elijah had given up halfway. Freya only saw it once; maybe the effect wasn’t good.

Xander turned and walked into the company.

Elara stood at the door, looking at Xander and asked softly, “Did I do something wrong to upset Mr Silverton?”

Xander wanted to say that Elijah, who liked the woman he couldn’t get, wouldn’t be happy no matter what.

“Do you know how to cook?” he asked instead.

Elara shook her head.

Xander had originally wanted Elara to go to the villa and personally cook two dishes that Elijah liked, mainly to stimulate Freya. But she didn’t know how.

“What can you do then?” Xander asked.

Elara replied, “Sing and dance.”

“Mr Cross, wasn’t I hired to be a secretary? Why are the things you ask me to do unrelated to secretarial work?” Elara asked.

“The work of a secretary is to take good care of the boss.” Xander said, “Come in with me.”

Elara nodded.

As they walked, Xander explained, “I have one thing for you, and you must handle it well.”

“Okay, tell me.”
