Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt

Chase took a potato chip from the table and said indifferently, "There's nothing much we can talk about."

He was furious. When something happened to Catherine a few years back, and he sided with Catherine, Rodney lashed out at him. Rodney's words could be so harsh sometimes, and back then, it made Chase very disappointed in him.

Did Chase have to go that far for the sake of a woman?

Later, Chase hardly came to Canberra. Even if he did, he would not meet up with Rodney.

When Catherine and Shaun got back together, Rodney slowly mended his relationship with Shaun and Chester.

With Chase's status, he was not desperate for money, and he had no thoughts of growing his career in Canberra either. He was friends with Rodney, but they had never thought of pleasing each other.

Rodney's mouth parted with difficulty." Chase, we were college mates. Back then, we were so close..."

Ryan darted a frosty glance at Chase and furrowed his brows helplessly. He stood up, walked toward Rodney, and put his arm around Rodney's shoulder. "Rodney, I have something to discuss with you. Let's go out and have a few words."

Rodney was aware of Chase's expression. Nevertheless, he already had a tiger by the tail. He would be deeply embarrassed if he left in dejection.

It happened that Ryan gave Rodney an out. Hence, Rodney went out with Ryan without uttering a word.

Only when the two of them stepped out of the banquet hall did Ryan let go of Rodney's arm. "Why did you show up? You know that the Lynches aren't happy to have you here, yet you still have to embarrass yourself."

Rodney said dully, "After all, the Lynch family's moving to a new home is a big thing..."

"But you and Freya are divorced. The Lynch family won't entertain you." Ryan was particularly irritated. "Rodney, not everything in the world can be solved by just admitting your mistakes and saying sorry. Stop disturbing the Lynch family. They don't care about your apology, and they don't want to see you. Plus, your friends can never be on good terms with you again like they used to. Do you understand?" "Ryan, you don't understand."

Rodney said with a look of agony on his face, "Do you know that I love Freya? During this time, I've been feeling miserable at the thought of the harm I've done to her. Why didn't I treasure her? In fact, I've long since stopped loving Sarah. Even after I married Sarah, my mind has been filled with Freya. But because of the misunderstanding earlier, I was afraid of taking my relationship with Freya seriously. You might not believe it, but I never slept with Sarah after we got married. At the touch of her, I'd feel disgusted and uncomfortable.

"I slept with Sarah that time because I was drunk. Otherwise, I wouldn't have betrayed Freya. I didn't know Sarah was pregnant until she had a miscarriage."

Ryan was dazed and astonished. "So what? You've let Freya slip the moment you failed to treasure her. Although you love her, does it mean that she must love you too?"

"I didn't mean that..."

"If you truly love someone, you should want her to be happy instead of causing her endless troubles," Ryan said impatiently." Stop pestering her."

Rodney slowly narrowed his eyes. "This affair is between Freya and me. Do you care about it so much because you love her too?"

"I'm going back to the hall to have lunch." Ryan turned around, wanting to leave.

"Ryan Snow." Rodney said coldly, "You dared to admit it back then, but now you don't, huh?"

"Whether I admit it or not is between Freya's and my affair. What does it have to do with you?" Ryan said bluntly, "I spared your blushes today only because you're my relative. Now that you seem quite free, why don't you think about what you'll be doing in the future instead?"noveldrama

With that, he reentered the hall.

Freya walked up to him. "Has he left?"

"I'm not sure, but I won't help him again if he comes back," Ryan said with a frown.

Freya found Rodney annoying as well. "By the way, my dad said Rodney just sent a bottle of whiskey over, and it seemed quite pricey. He wants you to bring it back to the Snow family."

"Mm. It's impossible that my uncle sent this. Rodney probably sent it over under the guise of representing his parents."
