No Longer Lovesick After a Memory Loss

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 She Must Have Been a Lovesick Fool Freya withdrew her hand and turned to look. A noble-looking woman slowly descended the stairs. She dressed appropriately and had exquisite makeup on. However, her eyes were filled with displeasure and disgust toward Freya. So, Freya instantly knew it was probably the woman in front of her who didn’t like her and forced her to resign back then. Radley called out. “Mom.” Knowing the woman’s identity now, Freya only nodded at her, then smiled and said to another elderly lady, “Grandma, I’ll go wash my hands.” She was Radley’s grandmother, Daniella Harper. Radley stared at Freya’s back for a while as she walked to the bathroom. He thought she would confront his mother as she did to him. At the thought of that, he tugged on the corner of his lips. Then, he said to his mother, Rosie Hamilton, who came to his side, “Mom, Freya…” Although Rosie didn’t like Freya, she restrained herself from showing that in front of Daniella and only responded lightly, “Shouldn’t you wash your hands after you come home?” Freya was done washing her hands. She ignored Rosie and chatted with Daniella. Soon, the servants called for dinner. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Freya helped Daniella sit down at the dining table and glanced at the dishes on the table. Her smile faded slightly. She liked spicy food. However, the dinner today seemed so bland that it appeared unappetizing. Since she was married to Radley for two years, the Monaghans must know her preference. Rosie must have instructed the chef to make it bland when she went into the kitchen just now. Freya only took a few mouthfuls before putting down her cutleries. Radley noticed that she didn’t eat much and frowned, but he didn’t say anything. It was Daniella who asked, “Freya, why aren’t you eating more? I remember you love these.” Freya’s heart skipped a beat. She was surprised.

It seemed that the Monaghans really had no idea about her preference. Just what had she done before for the sake of Radley? Did she go out of her way to praise a table of dishes that she didn’t even like? She must have been a lovesick fool. And, she must have acted too well. Anyway, she couldn’t break the image that she had built all of a sudden, so she just smiled and explained, “I’m not hungry today, Grandma. It’s okay.” After dinner, Radley and Freya were ready to leave. Daniella was very reluctant to bid goodbye. “Freya, I really like you as my granddaughter-in-law. If there’s anything that you’re unhappy about, you must tell me, okay? I’ll help you to teach my stupid grandson a lesson!” The old lady had lived for a long time, so of course, she could see through family matters at a glance. Some things couldn’t be faked. However, Freya didn’t say much. She just smiled and promised, “Okay, Grandma. Don’t worry. Radley treats me well. I’ll come to see you more often.” Just as the two were about to leave the family’s house, Rosie suddenly called to her son. “You stay. I have something to say to you.” Before Radley could reply, Freya had already decided. “I’ll leave first then.” Perhaps sensing that his mother had something important to say, Radley gave up on leaving together and said to Freya, “Wait, it’s too late. I’ll have the driver take you.” Freya didn’t mind. “Sure.” During the whole time, she had never looked at Rosie. This annoyed Rosie very much. After Freya had left, Rosie called her son into a room. Out of sight of others, she couldn’t bear to hide her disgust toward Freya any longer. “That girl was really rude today. Where is her manner…” As soon as she started complaining, Radley’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he interrupted his mother indifferently, “Mom, don’t you have something to say?”

Rosie stopped complaining about Freya. She gave her son a cold glance before slamming a phone in front of him and saying, “I just saw this today. Take a look.” Radley picked up the phone and frowned instantly. There were several photos showing Freya and Matthew posing together in the bar on that night. Freya’s face was clear in the photos, but Matthew’s was not very visible. Some of the photos were taken with an angle that the two seemed quite intimate. Radley tightly held onto the phone, pursing his thin lips. His eyes darkened. After a while, he exhaled a long breath and said deeply, “Mom, it’s a misunderstanding.” “A misunderstanding? You tell me it’s a misunderstanding with these photos here?” Seeing that she was about to say something more, Radley placed the phone with the screen facing down on the table and calmly announced, “Mom, Freya and I are divorced.”
