earlier.

Ryan went to the Davis mansion to see Freya Davis when Lora was at work.

"You didn't waste time, huh? Thirty days on the dot," Freya remarked as she held a mug in her hand, stirring her tea.

"I've come for feedback," Ryan replied confidently. He smiled and said, "Honestly, I wouldn't blame you if you still don't want me in your daughter's life. As a parent now myself, I can't even imagine someone hurting my children."

He took a sip of the tea he was served before he continued, "But I do believe people change for the ones they love... I might have been indifferent to Lora back in the day but now, I know what she means to me. I know she's a treasure that I can't lose. I know that without her, there's no me. I would lose myself completely if I lost her again. This is why I will never do anything to hurt Lora again, I promise."

Silence fell over the place and Ryan waited patiently for Freya's response. His heart was galloping wildly in his chest, hoping for a positive answer. For what he wanted to do, he needed Freya to approve of his relationship with Lora.

Ryan knew Lora wouldn't take the next step with him until she was sure both her parents were ok with it.

So, he desperately needed Freya's approval.

"I've been watching you for the last thirty days and..." Freya trailed, a frown plastering her face.

Ryan's heart jumped to his throat, his stomach twisting this way and that. He was anxiously waiting for Freya's response like his life depended on it.

"Oh, come on, honey. Give the man a break," Jack Davis' voice echoed in the room before he came into view holding his own cup of tea.

He sighed and said, "He had already eaten the world's hottest chili and never gave up! Give him a chance. I think he will make Lora happy."
