Chapter 298 - 298: Freya is Disappointed
When Freya saw Connor leave the house, she was curious about what John wanted to say to Connor.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, she quietly came to the back of the courtyard house and eavesdropped on the conversation between Connor and John.
In her eyes, although John’s words were not very pleasant, his intentions were still good. He just wanted to keep Connor by her side and give Connor a chance to progress.
Freya thought that Connor would agree without hesitation, but she did not expect Connor to directly reject John’s suggestion!
“Freya, why are you here?”
Connor’s tone was very firm, but he did not expect Freya to be eavesdropping from afar.
“This is my home. Why can’t 1 be here?”
Freya shouted with her big, watery eyes. Then, she looked at Connor and continued, “Connor, do you know how stupid your current actions are? If you can stay by my grandfather’s side, I believe that in a few years, you will become a big shot that everyone admires! But now, because of your words, you’ve lost such a precious opportunity!”
There was only one thing on Freya’s mind, and that was to try her best to persuade Connor to stay by John’s side.
This was good news for both Connor and Freya.
However, Freya did not expect Connor to reject John.
Connor looked at Freya and didn’t know what to say. When facing John, Connor could be very tough, but when facing Freya, Connor didn’t dare to have such an attitude.
“Connor, my grandfather is giving you such a good opportunity now. Why don’t you cherish it? Do you know how many people dream of having such an opportunity?”
Freya was also a little disappointed that Connor did not live up to her expectations. She shouted angrily at Connor.
“Freya, I don’t want to be here right now…”
Connor looked at Freya and replied indifferently. Then, he turned around and walked into the courtyard house.
“Connor, you…”
Freya looked at Connor’s retreating back, and a hint of confusion flashed across her face. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but she realized that Connor had already walked far away!
“You really don’t know what’s good for you!”
John looked at Connor leaving and could not help but snort coldly.
“Grandpa, I think Connor might have been confused for a moment. He isn’t usually like this. Please don’t stoop to his level!”
Freya hurriedly walked to John’s side and whispered to him.
“Freya, you should have heard what Connor said to me just now. It’s not a matter of whether 1 give this kid a chance or not. Even if 1 give him a chance, he doesn’t know how to cherish it!”
John said to Freya expressionlessly.
“Grandpa…”
Freya opened her mouth to speak.
John waved his hand to interrupt Freya and continued, “Freya, if Connor is just poor and doesn’t have any background, 1 don’t think it matters. After all, not everyone can have a family background that people look up to from birth!
“But as long as he is willing to stay by my side and learn from me, 1 can guarantee that in a few years, he will become a successful person who can take charge of his own affairs. This kid is really too arrogant. He doesn’t even know to cherish the opportunity I’m giving him. I’m very curious about what ability he has to say such arrogant words!”
Freya stood rooted to the ground with a blank expression. She looked at John, not knowing what to say.
“Forget it. Since this kid doesn’t know what’s good for him, 1’11 let him be. It’s getting late. Freya, you should go back and rest early!”
John waved at Freya, then turned around and walked into the courtyard house.
“Then, what do you plan to do about the Lawsons?”
Freya asked hurriedly when she saw that John was about to leave.
When John heard this, he couldn’t help but sigh softly. Then, he said expressionlessly, “No matter what, Connor is still your fiance. I definitely won’t stand by and watch him get into trouble. I’ll help you deal with the Lawson, but I want to tell you that Connor isn’t suitable for you. Freya, you really should reconsider your relationship with Connor…”
“Grandpa, I know!”
When Freya knew that John would still help Connor, the huge stone in her heart was finally lifted. She hurriedly nodded and replied.
“Sigh…”
John sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked into the courtyard.
Meanwhile, Freya stood by the river alone. She looked at the sparkling water surface, feeling extremely puzzled.
In Freya’s eyes, Connor was not such an arrogant person. However, for some reason, Connor’s reaction today was so abnormal.
Perhaps it was because Connor’s performance today had really disappointed Freya. Moreover, Freya knew Connor’s personality. Once Connor had decided on something, no matter how she persuaded him, he would not change his mind.
Hence, after everyone left the courtyard, Freya did not take the initiative to speak to Connor.
As for Sean Phillips and Laura Crawford, they were naturally very dissatisfied with Connor because he had embarrassed them in the Phillips Family’s courtyard house today.
On the other hand, Maya Phillips and Priscilla Marcus were very interested in Connor and kept asking him why he knew how to play the guitar!
Connor just gave a perfunctory reply and didn’t say anything else.
At this moment, he was thinking about how he should explain today’s matter to Freya.
After everyone returned to the hotel, Connor instinctively followed behind Freya.
After everyone had left, Connor said, “Freya, actually, what I said to your grandfather today…”
“You don’t have to explain anything to me. You have your own thoughts. If you don’t want to stay by my grandfather’s side, that’s your freedom. I have no right to interfere!”
Before Connor could finish, Freya interrupted him coldly.
“I just wanted to explain to you…”
Connor said helplessly.
“What do you have to explain to me? It’s getting late. We still have to attend Grandpa’s birthday banquet tomorrow. You should go back and rest!”
After saying that, Freya turned around and walked back to her room.
Seeing that Freya had returned to her room, Connor sighed helplessly.
He thought that the things that had happened in the Phillips Estate were enough to change Freya’s opinion of him.. However, he did not expect things to turn out this way!
