Chapter 398 Nathaniel exerted a small amount of force, pulling the woman close and kissed her, turning Freya's arrogant and unrestrained laughter into a muffled whimper.

Suddenly, the iron gate beside them swung open, and the two of them quickly pulled apart, looking in shock at Tammy standing there.

Tammy, holding two large thermal food containers, looked at Nathaniel and Freya in disbelief, before a look of delight crossed her face.

"Oh, it's Mr. Nathaniel and Ms. Freya! I was just about to look for you two! I made dinner and prepared a portion for both of you. I was going to invite you over, but I was worried you might find it too noisy! So I thought of bringing it over to you."

"Come in, have a seat! If I had known you didn't mind the noise, I would've invited you over earlier!" Tammy's grip was strong as she grabbed Freya's wrist, pulling her into the yard. Nathaniel had no choice but to follow. What could he do when his wife was already being led inside?

The living room of the Hoover family's house was bustling with activity. The table was laden with dishes, just set and ready for the meal. Everyone was waiting for Tammy to return after delivering the food to Nathaniel and Freya. Instead of the food being delivered, the guests themselves were brought over. Tammy and her husband had a son and a daughter. Their daughter, a high school teacher in the county, had brought her husband and child back to reunite at her parents' place. Her husband was also a teacher, making them a harmonious and amiable couple. Their five-year-old child was very polite.

Their son, who wasn't academically inclined, stayed in the village to run a fishing business, making a good living. He married a woman from a neighboring village and, despite being younger than Nathaniel, already had two children - a boy and a girl, aged eight and three respectively.
