You Are My Mr Right

Zane collapsed in front of her.

Freya hurriedly checked on him.

Luna, standing nearby, said, “Looks like we really scared him.”

Freya, checking Zane’s breathing, replied, “How can a grown man like him be so easily scared?”

If he had fainted because of this and spread the word, wouldn’t it be a laughingstock?

Sure enough, he was faking it.

Both Freya and Luna were doctors. Zane pretending to faint in front of them was like showing off his skills to the masters.

Knowing he was fine, Freya said, “You can be scared so easily? Who would dare to marry you in the future? Women like bold and reliable men. With your timidity, you’ll probably be single forever.”

Zane snapped his eyes open and got up from the ground. He symbolically brushed off the dirt from his body.

“How boring.”

“You played dead in front of us. Aren’t you the one ruining your own fun?” Luna laughed.

Zane pouted, unwilling to show weakness. “Women like you won’t have any men interested in you.”

Freya shrugged. “Hate to disappoint you, but both of us have men.”

Zane, “…”

Okay, he admitted, he couldn’t win against them.

“I’m going to bed.”

“Wait.”

He was about to leave when Freya stopped him. “I want to ask you for a favor.”

Zane asked, “What favor?”

Freya handed him some documents. “Find a way to help me investigate this person.”

Zane took the documents. They weren’t very detailed, only containing the person’s name, address, and a simple medical record. When he saw that it was a pregnant woman, he eagerly asked, “Is Elijah cheating on you?”

Freya widened her eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Then why would you ask me to investigate a pregnant woman? If Elijah doesn’t want you, you can come back with Kai, and I’ll take care of you.” Zane said.

Freya rolled her eyes.

“Really?” Luna, the gossipmonger, chimed in. “He changed his mind so quickly? I used to think highly of him.”

“Both of you, shut up. This has nothing to do with him. I just think this person is suspicious and want to find out more,” Freya said seriously.

Zane and Luna stopped joking.

“Okay, I’ll find out as soon as possible,” Zane said.

Freya nodded. “I should go back now.”

“It’s late, why not sleep here?” Zane suggested.

“I haven’t seen Kai all day. I’ll go back and check on him,” Freya got up.

Zane didn’t insist on keeping her. After all, she had a family.

When Freya returned to Elijah’s villa, only Linda was in the living room. She changed into slippers at the entrance.

“Linda, I’m hungry.”

She still hadn’t eaten dinner until now. Linda had left her a warm meal, ready for her to eat anytime. And Linda brought it to the table for her.

Freya washed her hands and approached the dining room. Settling down, she smelled the delicious food, and her stomach growled. She was practically drooling. She picked up her fork and started eating.

Linda usually didn’t talk too much. Tonight, it seemed like Elijah had no appetite and didn’t eat. He went back to his room early.

“Mr Silverton hasn’t had dinner tonight,” Linda said.

Freya looked up and asked, “Is he not feeling well?”

Linda complained, “How would I know? You’re his wife, if something’s wrong with him, you should know. How could a lowly servant like me know?”

She felt that Freya was too busy to take care of Elijah, to prioritize their family. Freya chewed her food slowly, holding her fork. The meal didn’t seem as tasty anymore. Actually, she enjoyed the recent busyness. That way, she wouldn’t think about whether Elijah had another woman in his heart. She took a deep breath and said, “I see.”

“You’re a married couple, you should care about each other,” Linda said.

Freya nodded. “I’ve been neglecting that.”

She finished a few bites, then went to take a shower in the bathroom outside before returning to her room.

The lights in the house were off. The room was dim. Freya walked in, guided by a sliver of moonlight. Elijah was lying on his side. Freya was not sure if he was asleep or not. In any case, when she entered, Elijah didn’t react at all.

She sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly, “Are you asleep?”

There was no response.

Freya turned to look at him. She lifted the covers and lay down on the bed, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. “I know you’re not asleep.”

Even though his breathing was steady, she still felt like he wasn’t asleep.

“I’ve been busy lately…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Elijah turned over. In the darkness, his eagle-like eyes locked onto her.

Freya said, “You’re not asleep, why aren’t you answering me?”

He still didn’t respond. But the next second, he pressed her down. Freya was too tired, she felt incredibly weak.

“Don’t you want to?” he asked.

Freya shook her head, explaining, “No, I just…”

“What?” Before Freya could answer, Elijah leaned down, sealing her lips.

Clearly, both of them still cared about the conversation they had last time. Yet, they both pretended like nothing happened. Elijah was even more arrogant, refusing to admit that he was jealous of the senior she mentioned. He bit down forcefully. Freya winced in pain. But she didn’t resist. She thought he was just venting his bad mood.

“Is something bothering you?” she asked softly.

Elijah didn’t respond. Instead, his big hand slid to her neckline, pulling her clothes apart. His palm covered her heart, and he domineeringly said, “From now on, only I can inhabit this place.”

Freya pursed her lips and finally let out a soft “Mm.” She didn’t ask the question that lingered in her heart, “Do you only have room for me in your heart?”

She didn’t want to be disappointed. So she decided not to ask. Elijah seemed particularly energetic today. And she was already tired. In the end, she almost collapsed, her body aching all over.

The next day, she overslept. When Freya woke up, it was already past nine o’clock, and Elijah had already gotten up, leaving the bed empty. She was still exhausted, not even wanting to get out of bed. Her legs felt weak, and in a daze, she checked the time on her phone. Seeing that it was almost nine o’clock, her sleepiness vanished instantly. She threw off the covers and got out of bed too quickly, perhaps due to the rough treatment from last night. Her legs almost gave way, and she quickly braced herself against the bedside cabinet to avoid falling.

Freya stood there for a moment, catching her breath. Then she took a step forward.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Suddenly, the bedroom door opened. She panicked and rushed to cover herself with the blanket. “Who…”

Last night, she was stripped naked and didn’t put on any clothes afterwards. That was why she was so startled.

“It’s me.” Elijah closed the door and walked in.

She breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that it was him. Remembering his actions from last night, she glared at him with resentment.

“You made me oversleep and didn’t even wake me up.”

“I thought you were tired and wanted you to sleep a bit longer. Is that so wrong?” He approached her.

Freya knew she couldn’t argue with him, so she didn’t bother. “I’m already late, I need to get dressed quickly.”

As she spoke, she let go of the blanket and headed towards the bathroom. Her body was covered in red marks. All left by Elijah. They hadn’t faded even after a whole night.

Elijah gazed at her alluring, fair and smooth body, his eyes darkening. Just as Freya was about to step into the bathroom with one foot, her waist was suddenly enveloped by a strong arm.
