Chapter 171 An Unexpected Guest

After Freya finished delivering the gifts, she saw the friends and relatives of the Marshall family coming forward one by one to wish Sarah a happy birthday.

While everyone chatted, more guests arrived.

Worried that Freya would get tired, Sarah asked her to sit on the side and rest.

So, Freya held a cup of tea and watched as people came in to pay their respects.

The guests were all prominent figures in Vroria, including several masters in antiques and calligraphy. Freya’s grandfather had a cheerful personality and made many friends while still alive, so the Marshall family had always had a good reputation in Vroria.

Freya listened as the butler recited the list of gifts and presented them to her grandmother to inspect.

As more people arrived, she began to feel sleepy and quietly covered her mouth as she yawned.

“Old Mrs. Marshall, Mr. Chris Holland from the Holland family and Radley from the Monaghan family have come to pay their respects.”

Freva was startled and looked toward the door.

Since most of the people in the room were the Marshall family’s relatives, they had also heard about Radley and Freya’s divorce.

Then, all eyes turned toward the door.

Braxton frowned and stood up while Ryan did the same.

Both of them stared at the people walking in with unfriendly expressions.

The first to enter the room was Chris. He forced himself to walk forward and whispered to Radley beside him, “Half of the people in this hall are glaring at us. This is the first time in my life that I’ve been so disliked, and it’s all thanks to you.”

Radley remained calm. His gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Freya sitting beside Sarah.

She looked charming in her red dress with a loose hem covering her bulging belly.

The red color made her fair skin even more radiant, and her black hair was put up with a stick shaped like a tree branch with a large ruby to imitate a cherry.

Her clear and bright eyes were now fixed on him.

Radley smiled gently while Freya pursed her lips and tightened her grip on the cup.

In the meantime, Sarah frowned when she noticed the interaction between Radley and Freya.
