Chapter 437 Trying to Risk Their Life?
Freya wore an expression of wistfulness as she spoke. However, she realized that the ambiance at the dining table was rather awry.
She glanced at Sylvia, who remained silent with a sly smile in her eyes.
Braxton sneered. “That’s it. Falling for someone just because of a life-saving favor….”
Freya coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment.
Isabella narrowed her eyes and gave Braxton a disdainful look. “Haha.”
After breakfast, Radley’s car had also arrived. He entered the Kaufmann Residence and greeted Sylvia in at respectful manner before taking Freya out.
As they left, Braxton shouted from behind, “You must be back home before 9 p.m.!”
Freya fell silent. She felt like she was now under even stricter supervision.
On the way to the Monaghan’s mansion, Freya leaned on Radley’s shoulder. He was holding a document in his hand and reading it.
She glanced at it and asked, “Is that Baxter’s information?”
“Yes. It contains some information about his time in prison. Connor has investigated a few of his cellmates, and here’s a comprehensive evaluation,” Radley replied.
Freya took a look at the document. Overall, Rosie’s judgment was correct; Baxter was indeed not a good person.
The two instances of theft were not driven by poverty or the desire to go to school. He had dropped out of school long ago and used the stolen money to buy a mobile phone.
Upon looking at his past history, Freya felt a bit dizzy. It was found that most of his ex-girlfriends were hostesses from nightclubs..
She grew angrier the more she read. “Hannah is going beyond being naive!”
As for the molestation, he was caught in the act on the subway. He wouldn’t have been imprisoned if he hadn’t been so arrogant and fought back when apprehended, as it resulted in charges of intentional. assault.
Freya asked in frustration, “Has Hannah seen this information?”
Radley’s eyes turned cold. “No. She won’t believe it even if she has seen this.”
Freya pondered, realizing that Hannah was currently unreceptive to any information. Whether she would believe these facts if she saw them was another matter altogether.
Soon, the car arrived at the Monaghan’s mansion. After greeting Rosie and Daniella, Freya went to check on Jolly.
Jolly had just finished his baby meal. Freya then sat on the sofa and held him while chatting with Rosie.
Rosie wore a beaming smile on her face. She found Freya, both her former daughter-in-law and future daughter-in-law, thoroughly pleasant and endearing no matter how she looked at her.
“A while ago, I had someone bring me some herbs from Cress Mountain. I’ll have it packed for you when you leave the evening party so that you can take it back to your mother,” she said.
Freya replied with a smile, “Okay. Thank you, Madam Rosie.”
Rosie hoped that one day Freya would change her form of address. However, she was preoccupied with Hannah’s situation. She didn’t have the heart to push Radley to marry his fiancée sooner.
After chatting for a while, Daniella suddenly insisted on taking a walk in the backyard. Several servants then assisted her as she headed to the garden.
Freya frowned as she looked at the clock on the wall. “It’s eleven o’clock.”
According to the etiquette in Caltun, it was customary to arrive early when meeting one’s parents. Is he planning to arrive just in the nick of time?
After waiting for another half an hour, Rosie’s face also darkened. Jolly was hungry at this moment, so Freya handed him to the nanny.
At 11:40 a.m., there was some commotion at the door. Freya immediately stood up and walked toward the door
Outside the door, there was a parked motorcycle. The man riding it had shoulder-length blond hair tied behind his head. He had a handsome face, but his eyes were unsettling as they gave off a slick and shrewd feeling.
The first thing he did after getting off the motorcycle was to observe the Monaghan’s mansion. Then, he turned sideways and helped Hannah get off the motorcycle.
Freya’s face turned cold. She turned to look at Radley and said, “He rode a motorcycle with Hannah without wearing a helmet!”
Is he trying to risk their life?
However, Hannah appeared to be excited as she held Baxter’s hand and walked toward them.
The two of them exchanged a smile, displaying a very affectionate demeanor.
When they approached Freya, Hannah introduced Freya with a smile. “This is the person I often mention. to you. Freya Kaufmann, my sister-in-law.”
Baxter stared at Freya for three seconds and smiled. “Hello, Miss Kaufmann.”
Freya pursed her lips. She felt uncomfortable with the way his gaze seemed to linger, as if it had a tangible. clingy quality that was quite unpleasant.
However, with Hannah present, she still managed to smile and said, “You and Hannah haven’t gotten married yet. You can just call me by my name.”
Her first impression of him was indeed awful. He didn’t seem to match up to Hannah.
Baxter raised an eyebrow. With a sly smile, he responded, “Okay, Freya.”
On the side, Radley’s cold eyes twitched slightly.
Hannah was usually afraid of Radley. She was also afraid that he would scare Baxter away. “This is my brother.” She added, “You can call him Radley.”
Freya, observing Radley’s expression, felt that he might throw Baxter out in the next second. She smiled and tightened her grip on the hand she was holding.
Radley asked with a cold expression, “How old are you, Mr. Smith?”
Looking at his face, Baxter felt a tingling sensation on his scalp-this was different from what he usually saw in financial news interviews. In the news, the president of the Monaghan Group always came across as distant, elegant, and courteous. However, he could feel that the gaze of the person in front of him was deep and carried a strong sense of authority.
He smiled awkwardly as he replied, “I’m 28.”
Freya cast a glance at Hannah’s joyful face and said, “Since you’re here, come inside instead of standing out
there.”
Baxter followed Hannah into the house. Then, she introduced him to Rosie, holding his hand and being cautious in her approach.
“Mrs. Monaghan, I apologize for being late today due to traffic,” Baxter said.
Rosie had received admonitions from Radley and Freya. Although her face remained cold, she managed to respond with some effort.
In Caltun’s local customs, both the man and the woman should bring the “four-color gifts” when meeting each other’s parents for the first time.
However, Hannah was obviously unaware of this tradition as she had never been in a relationship before. Meanwhile, Baxter had never been in a serious relationship either.
Rosie didn’t even consider him as Hannah’s boyfriend, so she paid no attention to such matters as well.
“The meal is ready. Let’s eat first,” she said through clenched teeth as she stood up.
As all of them entered the dining room, Hannah looked around and asked in confusion, “Mom, where are Grandma and Jolly?”
Rosie replied coldly, “One of them is elderly while the other one is a baby-they couldn’t hold out due to hunger. They have gone to rest after eating.”
Her statement carried a peculiar implication that Hannah and Baxter had arrived late.
Freya discreetly glanced at Baxter. His expression remained unchanged, but his left sleeve twitched slightly. Her sharp eyes immediately grasped the situation-he was silently asking Hannah for help under the table.
Indeed, Hannah quickly spoke up. “We got stuck in traffic on our way here. That’s the reason we arrived late.
Rosie wanted to express her anger, but she managed to hold it back. Freya had previously mentioned to her that if they were to cause a scene today, there was a chance Hannah might decide to elope with Baxter.
Freya had her meal with her head down. She planned to discuss the matters she wanted to know after the meal.
After lunch, Rosie went upstairs with a stern face as she said, “I’m going to take a nap. Radley, Frey, please take him around.”
Freya agreed.
