My Ex-wife's Hidden Personalities

Chapter 296 Radley Comes to Celebrate the New Year

It was 2 a.m.

Radley sat in the dark study on the second floor of the Monaghans’ mansion.

It was New Year’s Eve, but ten minutes before midnight, his grandmother fell ill and couldn’t recognize anyone. She

even threw a tantrum and demanded to see her daughter-in-law.

Rosie and Hannah had to put in a lot of effort to calm her down.

Radley thought about calling Freya, but he hesitated for a few seconds and put his phone. down. He knew that she

must be with her family for the New Year.

The night outside was pitch black, and Radley held a cigarette between his fingers.

He stared at the flickering light between his fingers, thinking that this year had finally passed.

According to the doctor’s estimation, Freya should have sorted out the sudden recovery of her memories by now.

This

year, he had to make her come back to him.

A week passed by quickly.

Freya followed her mother to visit their relatives. Then, she welcomed some of her mother’s friends at home.

The gifts sent by the Kaufmann Group’s partners were also piling up in the gift storage room.

Freya finally had some free time on the tenth day of the new year. She curled up on the couch, scrolling through

her phone and chatting with people from The Green Flamation forum.

Since it was the New Year, everyone had returned to their own homes.

Brisa had returned to Hartterre. The Heartless Scoundrel’s home was in Capitael, and Ink had gone abroad with his

family for the holidays.

The group chat was lively.

Tisch typed, ‘Green Scylla, I stayed at home for the whole holiday. I feel like I’ve gained at spare tire around my

waist. How about you?’

Heartless Scoundrel butted in, ‘Don’t you already have a spare tire?”

Tisch replied, ‘Do you have a death wish?”

Ink said, ‘Gained a spare tire? Want to come to the beach and play with water guns?”

Freya laughed as she read the messages and typed, ‘I’ve been eating and sleeping at home. recently. Every meal is

a feast. I probably gained a few pounds.

Tisch replied, ‘Hearing you say that makes me feel better!

The

group chat was lively, and Freya and the others played a few rounds of cards.

In the afternoon, Freya lost the game.

She quit the game and sent a message to the three of them.

Green Scylla sent, I’m done playing! What kind of luck is this for the New Year?!”

Tisch replied, ‘Don’t be sad. If you lose in the casino, you’ll win in love.”

“What a load of crap,” Freya muttered as she looked at her phone screen.

A message popped up on her phone. Freya glanced at it and saw that it was from Melissa, but she hadn’t noticed it

while playing the game just now.

Melissa had sent, ‘Happy New Year, Frey! This 200 thousand is the amount I borrowed from Braxton before. I

received some money as a New Year’s gift, so please transfer it to him for

me.’

Freya narrowed her eyes and took a screenshot, sending it to Braxton.

Freya typed, I’ve accepted Melissa’s 200 thousand on your behalf. You’re welcome!

Braxton sent, “What?!”

While they were chatting happily, the butler walked in from outside, holding a phone in his hand.

“Miss, the security guard at the gate called and said that Mr. Monaghan from the Monaghan. Group has come to

celebrate the New Year.”

“Mr. Monaghan?!” Freya was taken aback, furrowing her brows slightly.

Why did he come to celebrate the New Year?

Thinking of Radley, Freya felt a bit uncomfortable.

After recovering her memories, she didn’t know how to face Radley for a while, so she broke up with him directly.

Now, she had even less of an idea of how to face Radley since they had already broken.

“Just tell him that my mother and Brax are not at home and ask him to leave,” Freya said.

From the side hall, Sylvia walked out.

“It’s the New Year, so there’s no reason to turn away someone who came to celebrate.” Sylvia said, turning to the

butler. “Go and invite Mr. Monaghan in.”

After speaking, she asked the maid to prepare tea for the guest.

Freya stood up helplessly. “Mom, you entertain him. I’ll go back to my room first.”

“Go back to your room?” Sylvia frowned. “Why did he come to celebrate if not for you? You’re both in Caltun. Do

you think you can run away from him forever?”

Freya sat back down, feeling embarrassed.

Sylvia glanced at her expression and asked in a low voice, “Frey, tell me. What do you about Radley now?”

feel

Freya pursed her lips. “I don’t know right now. It’s just that things were so awkward before, and now I don’t want to

see him.”

But she kept dreaming about him.

Sylvia pondered for a moment. She used to dislike Radley very much, thinking that this man was foolish to have let

her daughter down.

But later, she saw Radley’s efforts for Freya and thought that he might have changed.

Now, she could also sense her daughter’s concern for Radley, and now there was also Jolly.

After all, Jolly was Radley’s child. Although Jolly was only six months old, he already looked a lot like his father. Given

a few more years, they wouldn’t be able to hide this anymore.

Freya sat with Sylvia in the living room for a while, and then the butler led Radley into the living room.

As soon as Radley entered the living room, his gaze fell on Freya.

Freya was wearing a long red sweater, sitting with her head down, looking at her phone. Her fair skin was exposed

on her neck.

Her lazy appearance was like a cat, making it hard to look away

“Mr. Monaghan, long time no see. How is your father?” Sylvia’s words interrupted Radley’s

stare.

“Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Marshall. I’m here today to wish you a Happy New Year.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Radley and Sylvia chatted about some family matters.

The Kaufmanns and the Monaghans had always been competitors, and the two families were not close in the past.

Freya thought that Radley would leave after a few exchanges, but he changed the subject.

“The Monaghan Group has a new investment project recently, and after studying it, we plan to cooperate with the

Kaufmann Group.”

Sylvia’s smile faltered for a moment.

“My son is in charge of the company’s affairs, and I rarely interfere now. You’ll have to discuss it with Braxton.”

Radley nodded. “That’s what I thought too. But for this matter, I need to consult your opinion first, Miss Kaufmann.”

Freya, who was sitting on the side, was taken aback and looked up at Radley, meeting his with a hint of a smile.

“What does it have to do with me?”

eyes

“This time, the Monaghan Group is launching a new fragrance inspired by traditional local themes. Although many

luxury brands have launched a lot of perfumes in recent years, young people in Florin are leaning towards

traditional things, such as clothes and hair accessories. So, after our research, we think that traditional fragrance is

a very promising and prospective industry.”

Freya’s eyes lit up. Radley’s words were indeed true.

Moreover, those luxury brand perfumes couldn’t compare to the health benefits of traditional fragrances. Many

fragrance ingredients were derived from traditional medicine. Some could calm the mind, whereas others

refreshed it.

Even some special fragrances have some aphrodisiac effects, which couldn’t compare to those perfumes that only

aim to please the sense of smell.

“Fragrances…. Why does it have anything to do with me?”

Radley’s eyes darkened. “Before the New Year, I have already contacted many perfumers and smelled the

agarwood they blended. They were all far inferior to what you have developed, Miss Kaufmann.”

Freya pursed her lips and fell silent.

She stared deeply at Radley. When she was at Smalzot Yard, she often carefully blended some agarwood for him.

But at that time, Radley was ignorant and unaware. He had never eaten the meals she cooked, nor did he pay

attention to the agarwood fragrance that was always burning in the house.
