MainNovelChapter 380:
But Freya had misunderstood one thing.
To Hugh, Freya and Ethel meant everything. If either of them refused to accept Cheryl, he wouldn't go through
with the marriage—even if it seemed unfair to Cheryl.
More importantly, from the very beginning, he had made it clear to Cheryl that he might never marry her.
Seeing how emotional he became, Freya felt a twinge of conflict. She wondered if her late mother would blame
her for this decision—or if it would have broken her heart to see Hugh in this state.
But thinking it through, her mother probably wouldn’t. She had always been the kind of woman who treated
Hugh gently, with quiet patience and unwavering kindness.
She was soft-hearted to the core.
“Letknow what day works for you, and I'll arrange the meeting,” Hugh said, fumbling slightly.
“I'm not available on the 15th or 16th,” Freya replied, her tone unreadable. “Any other day is fine.”
“How about the 10th?”
“Okay,” Freya said, and with that, Hugh felt one burden lift off his shoulders.
After Freya returned upstairs to rest, Hugh called Cheryl to let her know about the meeting with Freya on the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt10th.
Cheryl agreed.
Once everything was in motion, Hugh also messaged Ethel.
His plan was to take both Ethel and Freya together, and if all went well, he'd consider setting a date to officially
register the marriage. Meanwhile, Cheryl lived in a duplex apartment Hugh had bought, with Vivien residing
there as well.
Overhearing the call, Vivien’s face twisted with frustration, her cheeks puffed out like a child denied her way.
“Why can’t | go? Aren’t | your daughter too?”
“He still minds what you did before,” Cheryl said coolly. She was elegant and poised, the kind of woman Ethel
once described as genuinely kind. “I told you not to upset him.”
“I didn’t know Freya Briggs was his daughter,” Vivien argued, feeling wronged. She had always behaved her best
around Hugh, and he had genuinely liked her. But because of Freya, everything had fallen apart. Vivien seethed
with resentment.
“You were in the wrong back then, so stop acting like the victim,” Cheryl replied, her tone calm but unyielding.
Vivien’s face was clouded with frustration, but she couldn't deny the truth that gnawed at her—she was indeed
at fault.
Still, the mere thought of losing all the fruits of her hard work because of Freya sent ripples of unease through
her mind.

Cheryl studied her for a moment, her gaze sharp but silent.
She knew exactly what kind of man Hugh was. Given the mess Vivien had made of things before, it was unlikely
he would so easily offer her forgiveness.
