Chapter 240

Chapter 240 I Brought a Bodyguard

Radley’s heavy breathing could be heard above Freya’s head, accompanied by the sound of his heartbeat, and she felt warmth flowing through her heart. Pushing Radley away, she muttered, “Radley, we’ve just started dating. Aren’t we progressing a bit too quickly?”

The man’s eyes crinkled as he smiled. Not at all, he thought. He wanted to see her day and night, to have her by his side wherever he went. If only she could become Thumbelina, then. he would always have a pocket at his chest and hide her inside.

Freya passed him the snacks that the Monaghans had sent today. “You came back so quickly and probably haven’t eaten anything yet. Have some snacks first.”

He stared at the box of snacks in front of him. “Are you worried about me?” His voice was cold but husky with a hint of magnetism, and although his words were ambiguous, he said. them with a straight face.

Freya gritted her teeth. For the first time, she realized that Radley could be so teasing.

Perhaps seeing that she was about to freak out, Radley smiled and decided not to provoke her. Instead, he took a seat and popped a piece of the snack into his mouth.

After finishing the snack, he took out a contract, and Freya blinked. “It seems that the Monaghan Group and the Kaufmann Group are both taking it to the next level. The competition between our families will continue, I think.”

A smirk appeared on Radley’s face. “If you would like, the Monaghan Group can be yours, too.” What’s mine is hers.

They chatted for a while, and Freya thought for a moment before telling Radley about her. plan to visit the Hood Residence in the evening, and his expression turned cold. “If you want to refuse, then just tell her no. If they have the guts to look for you at the Kaufmanns, I’ll have Connor block their house.”

“Forget it.” Freya smiled. “The cooperation between the Kaufmann Group and the Hood Group has lasted for two generations. No matter how the Hoods are now, our families are still working together and I have to go.”

Radley’s brows furrowed, a display of his dissatisfaction, and Freya glanced at him. “Don’t worry, I already expected this dinner today, and it’s basically a trap.

“Matthew’s parents are very conservative. Even if our families have a cooperative relationship, they can’t accept that Matthew’s ideal type is me and invited me over tonight to put me in my place,” she said with a mischievous grin. “I’ll just make it clear to them that I don’t have any feelings for Matthew.”

After speaking, she caught Radley looking passionately at her. “What about your feelings for

me?”

Flabbergasted, she uttered, “If you try harder, there might be a chance for feelings to develop.”

Although they had only confirmed their relationship two days ago, Radley seemed to have prepared for this moment for a long time.

After discussion, he agreed to let her go to the Hood Residence for dinner, but on one condition-she had to bring him along.

Freya thought for a moment and agreed. Although she had to keep her relationship with. Radley a secret from her parents for now, it was necessary to make it clear since Matthew Hood was interested in her.

As she didn’t like beating around the bush, she believed that with Matthew’s character, he wouldn’t blab about this matter.

Meanwhile, not far from the West Geft Joint Department, Brandon and a few elderly people. from West Geft were playing chess under a pavilion.

After playing for a while, Brandon went back inside and, through the glass door, saw Freya and Radley sitting close together, whispering something to each other.

With a sigh, he returned to play chess, and at 5 p.m., he couldn’t take it anymore and entered. the office. “It’s already time for me to get off work. Are you two finished?”

Radley smirked. “We’re done.”

“If you want to date, use your own office. Occupying my office is making me homeless,” Brandon grumbled. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Freya chuckled and checked the time; it was time to go to the Hood Residence. So, she left. the West Geft Joint Department with Radley and headed toward the Hood Residence.

Halfway through the drive, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a text message from Matthew. ‘Frey, no matter what my parents say tonight, don’t take it to heart!’

Freya frowned. “You were the one who blabbered nonsense on a show and implicated me. Why would your parents cause trouble for me?”

Just trust me, I’ll handle everything. Matthew replied.

Freya stole a look at Radley, who was driving attentively. It seemed that after they confirmed their relationship, there was suddenly an additional layer of a couple’s filter between them. and she was momentarily captivated by Radley’s serious look while driving. Hurriedly, she

lowered her head to reply to Matthew’s text. ‘It’s okay, I brought a bodyguard with me!

‘Bodyguard? Don’t worry, my parents will just complain a bit, at the most, but they don’t have the guts to lay a finger on you.’

Freya giggled, and Radley, who was driving, glanced at her. “What’s wrong?”

“Matthew said that his parents won’t be courteous tonight and warned me not to mind. I told. him that I’m bringing a bodyguard to his house.”

Radley nodded without saying a word, and the car soon arrived at the entrance of the Hood Residence, but he didn’t drive in.

Turning to him, Freya asked in confusion, “Why did you stop?”

Before answering, he unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned over. “Your bodyguard wants to collect some fees in advance.”

“What?” Freya asked, taken aback.

The next second, a warm lip pressed against her own, just a light kiss that ended quickly, but it was sufficient to turn her face scarlet.

Nonetheless, Radley had already sat back and started the car. “Miss, are you satisfied with your bodyguard’s work?”

Freya gritted her teeth. It seemed that beneath the icy exterior of this man lay an exceptionally flirtatious soul.

The car drove to the Hood Residence and stopped in front of the villa. When Freya got out of the car, her face was still blushing.

Under two tall streetlights in front of the villa, Matthew stood waiting at the door, and his face fell when he saw Radley getting out of the car.

Then, he saw Radley throwing him a cold glance, the murderous intent in his eyes almost solidified. Subsequently, he paced to the passenger seat and opened the car door for Freya, his face dissipating with aloofness.

As Matthew watched him gently hold Freya’s arm and lead her out, his heart sank deeper and deeper. He knew Freya very well and could tell that something had changed between her and Radley.

“Freya, why is he here?” Matthew asked when he approached them.

Radley positioned himself to shield Freya within his arm’s reach, his eyes icy cold. “Your parents invited my girlfriend to dinner. Naturally, I had to come along”

“Girlfriend?!” Matthew’s voice raised slightly as he stared at Freya, his hand clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and he hoped to hear a different answer from her.
