Let me go, Mr. Hill [By Shallow South] Chapter 2148
“You… You actually booked a room upstairs for my brother? When did you do that?” Freya stuttered. She did not
dare to imagine it. Jessica had drunk wine too. She would be sending Forrest upstairs. A young man and a young
woman who were ex-lovers would be alone together. Things could easily happen between them.
“When I went to the bathroom before.”
Ryan rubbed his stomach and said with a sick expression, “For the sake of Forrest and Jessica’s happiness, that was
my first time pouring wine for other people at the table. How are you going to thank me?”
Freya rolled her eyes at him. “Did I beg you to do it? I was tricked as well, okay? Besides, Jessica is your sister, not
mine. I haven’t even blamed you for setting my brother up.”

changed when I brought Jessica over tonight. If he didn’t care at all, he would’ve just
shaken hands nonchalantly and said ‘It’s been a long time’ when he saw his ex-girlfriend. If it weren’t for me, he
wouldn’t even look at Jessica. Do you know why?”
“Why?” Freya did not drink but she felt as if she had. She was getting confused.
“To think that you were married before. Your EQ is too low.” Ryan glanced at her in disdain.
Freya was infuriated. “ So what if my EQ is low? Do you dare to look down on me?”
“I wouldn’t dare, and I don’t.” Ryan suppressed his laughter and shook his head. “I’m guessing it’s because your
brother hates Jessica. Think about it. They were madly in love back then, yet one of them got married all of a
sudden after returning home. Could he possibly not feel hatred? But he might be hating her only because he loves
her. If there were no feelings at all, where would the hatred come from?”
Freya did not say a word. She recalled when she ran into Forrest and Jessica quarreling at the Snow family’s manor
back then. The words her brother uttered from his mouth were very harsh. That was most probably hatred.
Ryan said, “It’s no wonder that your brother would harbor hatred. My sister was educated by my grandpa ever
since she was young. She was too obedient during her younger days. She always placed family first and had to bear
too many responsibilities. When a person is powerless, marriage and happiness isn’t a choice for them.”
Freya continued being silent.
She was not born in that kind of family. She did not know those feelings. “I don’t understand. Is having a high status
really that important? The Snow family is already doing very well. Does the Snow family want to be in the highest
position so badly that it’s even worth sacrificing the younger generations’ happiness for it?”
“Not every parent places their children’s happiness behind the company and wealth. There’s just no choice
sometimes. They were forced to do so.”

Ryan smiled and looked at Freya. “Freya, if you didn’t have a brother taking on everything for you, you wouldn’t be
so carefree either. Your parents would’ve considered whether your partner was of the same status as you and if the
marriage would be helpful to the company. If you were in love with an average guy, your parents might not even
support you.”
After Freya was taken aback for a moment, she realized she could not refute him. It seemed like the truth.
“People are like that. The more you own, the less freedom you have.” After saying that
sentimentally, Ryan thought of something. He became dispirited.
“Were you reminded of yourself?” Freya suddenly felt sad for him.
“A little. By the way, didn’t you promise that you’d let me try kissing you? It seems like now is a good time.” Ryan’s
eyes that were bright as gems suddenly shifted and gazed at Freya. “Are you going to go back on your word?”
The topic changed too fast. After Freya was dumbstruck, her face became red as if she was in a sauna. “Didn’t I
make things clear to you this morning?”
