After hearing Freya’s words, John’s face froze to an awkward smile. He felt that his current behavior was a bit too obvious.

“The matters between me and Connor are not your concern. I know you are all eager for me to marry him because of his status and background. But he is my fiance, not the Phillips family’s fiance. Whether he’s rich or not, it has nothing to do with you all. I don’t want to see any of you plotting against him!”

Freya said honestly as she was caught up in her emotions.

She said those words to protect him as well.

John looked at her, his expression extremely awkward. He was at a loss for words.

“Freya you went a bit too far with that statement. Your grandfather didn’t mean any harm. We’re all just looking out for your best interests!” Sean hesitated for a moment and stepped forward, trying to persuade her in a soft voice.

“If that’s not your intention, then it’s for the best. 1 just wanted to express my thoughts. I like Connor for who he is, unrelated to anything else, and I don’t want anyone else interfering in our relationship!” she exclaimed, her eyes filled with tears.

The crowd looked at her, their expressions carrying a hint of helplessness and embarrassment.

“Connor, let’s go!”

Seeing that no one was speaking, she grabbed his hand and walked towards the room.

“Cousin, you’re so cool!” Maya looked at her departing figure, expressing her envy.

The others’ faces darkened, and their thoughts were unclear.

She led him to the room prepared for him by the Phillips family. The decoration inside the room was extremely luxurious, far surpassing the hotels outside.

If it weren’t for Connor’s performance in the restaurant today, he wouldn’t even be able to stay in the smallest room of the Phillips family’s courtyard, let alone such a room.

After entering the room, Freya sat on the chair with an annoyed expression and said, “My grandfather and the others are just too much. Even if they want to be on your good side, they don’t need to be so obvious, right?”

“You could have told them the truth. I think if you explained the situation clearly, they wouldn’t continue like this,” Connor replied calmly.

“I also wanted to tell them the truth, but then I thought, if I reveal everything, they will definitely continue to humiliate you. So it’s better not to tell them anything. At least they will think you’re a rich heir and won’t bully you!” she said helplessly.

“I see…” He nodded lightly.

“Connor, sometimes you are too kind, which is why people take advantage of you!”

“Do you think if I explain your situation to them, they will change their attitude toward you? Definitely not. Right now, they think you’re a rich heir, so they go all out to please you. But if they know you’re a poor guy, they would despise you in every way. So there’s no need for you to explain to them. Let them continue to speculate. After all, you won’t have many opportunities to meet them in the future,” she said seriously to him.

“You’re right!” He felt somewhat guilty, didn’t argue with her anymore.

“Wait a few more days and we’ll return to Porthampton. I don’t want to stay here any longer…” Freya sighed and exclaimed softly.

“So, when you said you liked me earlier, was it true or false?” Connor hesitated for a moment, his face filled with anticipation as he asked her.

“I said I liked you?”

She was taken aback by his words, her expression showing great confusion.

She asked, “When did I say that i liked you?”

“You said it with your own mouth just now. You said you liked me and that you would be with me regardless of my background. Everyone heard it. You wouldn’t pretend to forget, would you?” he replied with a smile.

“I… I just said it casually, don’t take it seriously!” She stammered in response, her cheeks turning red with embarrassment.

“So, you were just saying it casually!” he said, half-smiling.

“Yes, you saw the situation just now. I didn’t want them to continue bothering you. I didn’t mean anything else by it. Don’t overthink it,” Freya said anxiously, looking at him.

“Do you really not have any feelings for me?” Connor hesitated for a moment, his expression becoming serious as he asked her.

“Why are you asking me this?” she asked softly.

“It’s nothing, I just want to know what you really feel about me now…” he nervously replied.

“What do 1 feel? Well, I can’t say 1 have strong feelings for you at the moment, but no matter what, 1 feel like I don’t dislike you as much as before!” She paused for a moment, then continued, “Actually, I don’t have a clear answer right now.”

Upon hearing Freya’s words, Connor felt a sudden joy in his heart. He knew that if she didn’t dislike him, it meant he still had a chance. So he thought it would be better to seize the opportunity and confess his feelings to her.

For Connor, the most important thing now was to marry Freya and make her genuinely be with him. Once she agreed, he wouldn’t have to hide his identity anymore, and he would also be able to inherit the massive inheritance of trillions.

With a serious expression, he looked at her and said, “Freya, we’ve known each other for a while now. Initially, 1 didn’t have many thoughts about you. I thought a girl like you wouldn’t be interested in me. But as we spent more time together, 1 realized that you’re different from any other woman. You wouldn’t reject me just because of money. So now, I might truly have developed feelings for you. I don’t know if you’re willing to give me a chance to be your real boyfriend.”

As Freya listened to his sudden confession, she was left stunned, her gaze fixed on him, unsure of how to respond..
