| was momentarily stunned.
"Trust me."
Megan sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking quite certain. "He's currently in a struggle. He likes you, but he's
also afraid to like you."
| smiled. "Stop guessing around. The person he likes is Lily. | just happen to look somewhat like her..."
"No, that's not it!"
Megan countered firmly, "My brother isn't like that. Over the years, there have been many people who look even
more like Lily than you, but he's never paid any attention to them. It's not that I'm speaking ill of him. He's
always been someone who only acts when there's a benefit. If it weren't for his feelings, why would he keep
helping you tand tagain?"
"What he did was..."
| wanted to refute, but halfway through, I couldn't find a reason.
For instance, Zack's incident, and when Mrs. Shaw forcedto kneel in the snow... it didn't seem like he was
helping just because it was convenient.
Afterwards, he never demanded anything from me.
As | left, | felt somewhat distracted.

Yesterday, my grandmother seemed to want to set things up, and today Megan was talking about these things
with me.
Even if | tried to stay focused, | was inevitably affected.
However, | didn't expect to see a familiar Cullinan as soon as | exited the Smith family's residence.
| quickened my pace towards the Rolls-Royce arranged by Madam Shaw to takehome.
Just as | was about to get in, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulledin the opposite direction!
| was furious. "Ryan, what are you doing?!"
"Taking you hfor the New Year!"
Ryan's voice was gruff and weary, but his grip was firm.
| found it incredibly amusing. "Home? We don't have anything to do with each other anymore!"
He was talking about going hfor the New Year, even though he celebrated our wedding anniversary with
someone else.
"If we don't have a relationship, then let's start one again."
He was obsessively stubborn.
| struggled desperately. "But | don't want to..."

He abruptly turned around, pressingagainst the car, his eyes red and showing signs of sleeplessness, veins
bulging on his forehead. "Then who do you want to have a relationship with? Frank? Why are you coming to
Jeswood for the New Year? Do you want to spend the New Year with him?"
| sneered. "It's not up to you to decide. After the divorce, what | want to do is my own freedom."
"Charlotte, | can give you freedom."
His gaze was deep as he looked at me. He sighed and his expression seemed to soften. "But the condition is, you
must keep sdistance from other men..."
"Mr. Frost, that's a funny thing to say."
Not far away, a voice with a hint of mockery suddenly rang out. "When did it becyour job to give her
freedom?"
Ryan's eyes widened, his tall and upright figure suddenly freezing in place.
Frank's narrowed eyes were slightly raised as he turned to me. "Aren't you coming over? Do you wantto beat
him up?"
"Charlotte!"

Just as | was about to use the tthat Ryan was distracted to slip away, he suddenly yelled in a violent tone,
though his voice trembled slightly, "Are you... dating him?"
| turned my head away. "Yes."
He said sternly, "Look atand say it!"
"Yes!" | was getting irritated, staring straight into his eyes and speaking clearly. "I'm dating him! Are you happy
now? Can you let go of me?"
The pressure on my hand instantly disappeared.
| couldn't tell if he let go willingly or just lost strength...
Soon, the black Cullinan drove away.
But this time, | no longer felt the ssense of being abandoned as before.
It felt more like a new beginning.
Frank snorted and said, "If you don't want to let him go, | can get him to cback."
"Frank."
Hooked at the nonchalant man not far away and said as casually as | could, "Were you trying to helpbecause
of our deal, or were you genuinely wanting to help?" Few people could withstand a charming man repeatedly
saving you from danger.
So, it was better to make sthings clear.
He furrowed his brows slightly. "Is there a difference?"
