The honk startled a passerby, who glared at them, but they couldn‘t hear what she yelled at him. It was
different for Colton, who was in the driver‘s seat. He could hear it clearly, and his face turned dark.
“Freyja Pruitt!” Colton opened the door, grabbed her wrist, and gnashed his teeth. “What did you call
me?”
She wouldn‘t escape and couldn‘t break free of his grip. Her wrist started hurting from being grabbed too
hard, so she yelled, “Let go of me!”
Colton grabbed her chin and leaned closer. “Say it again.”
He sounded threatening.
Freyja stopped struggling and chuckled. “Are you going to hit me again?”
Colton laughed maniacally. “I never hit you–” He paused and didn‘t continue.
He had lost control the previous time, but he didn‘t hit her!
“You wouldn‘t remember something so menial.” Freyja pulled her hand away and rubbed her wrist. “I‘m
going to leave if you have nothing more to say. I wouldn‘t want to be an eyesore.”
She tried to walk away, but Colton blocked her with his arm. “I’ll drive you.”
Freyja paused and looked surprised. She turned to look at him
and asked, “A-Are you alright?”
Colton put his hand on the door and looked at her. “I don‘t want you to faint on the way back. You‘ll make
my sister worry.”
Freyja paused for a few seconds, pushed him away, and walked over to the passenger‘s seat. “Thanks.”
She wasn‘t embarrassed.
Freyja looked out the window during the journey and noticed that he slowed down and wasn‘t driving
dangerously like the other night. She would suspect that he was a different person if it weren‘t for his
face and annoying personality.
Colton looked at her through the corner of his eyes. “Why are you staring?”
Freyja choked and laughed. “How do you know that I‘m looking at you? I might be looking at something
else.”
“You have a lot to see on your side. There‘s not much to see on the driver‘s side.”
People who were in the passenger‘s seat would rarely look toward the driver‘s side and would keep their
eyes on their side. What else could she be looking at other than himself?
Freyja was rendered speechless.
She would admit that she was just taking a peek at him, but he said that she was staring.
That sounded like flirting. Was Freyja flirting with him? He must be joking.
Colton‘s lips curled when Freyja didn‘t reply.
The car parked in the courtyard, and when she got out, the nanny and Deedee happened to get home as
well.
Deedee sat in the tricycle with a cute blue hat. Her chubby cheeks were really adorable. She put out her
hands when she saw Freyja and called in a baby voice, “Aunty, upsie!”
Freyja walked over and picked her up. Deedee put her arms around her neck and kissed her face.
The nanny smiled. “Deedee had a lot of fun today.”
“Really?” Freyja took off her hat and rubbed her head. “You’ll have a good night‘s sleep after having
fun.”
The nanny suddenly looked toward Colton, who got out of the car and asked, “Is this your friend,
ma‘am?”
Freyja paused and noticed that Colton was still there.
She was going to say something when Deedee suddenly said, “ Daddy!”
Colton didn‘t know what to say.
Freyja covered her mouth. “Deedee, no, he‘s not your daddy.”
Deedee put out her arms toward her and chuckled. Her cute look would melt anyone‘s heart. “It‘s
Daddy!”
