Freya did not like being wronged. She really wanted to tell him how she ended up with a fever. She had also ensured he could sleep comfortably without catching a cold like her.

However, she knew Gideon would not believe it even if she tried to tell him.

Her phone happened to ring just then.

Freya flung the man’s hand away hard. After adjusting her breathing, she answered the phone calmly, “Hello?”

The caller asked, “Hello, is this Ms. Freya Keller?”

“Yes, speaking.”

“I am calling from Mount Plenty Retirement Home to talk about Mrs Keller. Your grandmother’s fees for the next quarter are still outstanding. The deadline is the 10th of this month.”

“Okay. Got it. I will definitely send the money,” said Freya courteously before hanging up the phone. The fees were due on the 10th, but she was paid on the 15th. What should she do?

Freya suddenly looked dejected as she slumped down onto the couch. She had forgotten she was just in the middle of a heated argument with Gideon.

Gideon noticed the instant change in her mood after answering the phone. He frowned and asked, “Are you still acting?”

Freya did not have the energy to talk to him. She went back into the kitchen to get some food and fill her stomach first.

Freya knew she had to take care of herself first so that she could go to work as soon as possible. That way, she could pay the fees for her grandma’s retirement home.

There were frozen dumplings in the refrigerator, so Freya took them out and started to cook them.

Ten minutes later, she walked into the dining room holding the dumplings and took a seat. She picked up the cutlery and was about to eat when Gideon suddenly stood beside her.

Before she was able to raise her head and look at him, the man said in a questioning tone, “Who said you could touch anything inside the villa?”

Freya ignored him. She used a pair of chopsticks, took a dumpling, and placed it into her mouth. She was simply famished and had to eat. She could not be bothered wasting her time on the man.

Before she was able to put the dumpling in her mouth, the man slapped her fork away.

Freya raised her eyes and glanced at him. He was staring at her expressionlessly.

Freya had taken care of Gideon all night after he got drunk yesterday. She had even given him a bath before putting him to bed.

She ended up having a fever in the morning and hadn’t taken a bite all day, so she was ravenous.

How could he… Why wasn’t she even allowed to eat a single bite?

Her eyes turned red at the thought, but she knew it was no use arguing with him. She suppressed the twinge in her heart, picked up the chopsticks, and tried to eat a second dumpling.

This time, the man picked up the entire bowl of dumplings altogether!

The woman looked at him in shock as he threw the entire bowl of dumplings into the trash can in the kitchen expressionlessly.

Freya was still reeling from shock when Gideon said coolly, “Nora, keep an eye on everything in the villa. If anyone touches anything, you will have to answer for it.”

He was obviously referring to her.

Gideon veered his eyes away from Freya the moment he finished his sentence and quickly turned to leave the villa.

The instant the door closed, Freya could no longer suppress her tears and cried.

Initially, she sniffled softly before she ended up crying loudly.

Her father needed a good lawyer in order to reduce his sentence, so she approached Charlie Carter and promised to marry his son, Gideon Carter, in return for the favor.

It had already dawned on her that she would never have a normal blissful married life with him, but she did not think it would be this bad.

Nora looked at Freya. She really wanted to give Freya some food, but she was afraid Gideon would find out and get angry, so she did not know what to do.

After crying briefly, Freya got up from the dining table, went back to the room to freshen up her face, and left the villa.

…

Freya had made plans to meet Ashley at a restaurant. Since she could not eat in the villa, she could only go out for food. Whatever it was, she had to give her stomach justice.

After putting down the cutlery, Freya finally noticed Ashley staring at her.

Freya thought that there was something stuck on her face, so she wiped her face with a piece of tissue. However, Ashley still kept looking at her. Freya asked quizzically, “What’s with the staring?”
