Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt

"Dani, stop it." Ryan promptly placed Dani in the cradle.

Freya was disappointed to see that Dani ignored her." That kid doesn't miss me at all."

"Don't worry. She misses you too. When I carried her into your room at night, she'd look around, probably looking for you."

Ryan asked with a grin, "How are you adapting to life in the country of romance? Have you met a lot of handsome men there? Is anyone pursuing you?"

"Yeah. Do those experienced professors in their 70s in the lab count?" Freya raised her brows playfully.

"That can't be. With your good looks, no man has flirted with you?" Ryan asked jokingly.

"Yeah. No one has flirted with me on my rare trip overseas. It's quite disappointing. I can't believe I'm so unattractive," Freya said despondently.

"Great. I'm taking care of your child at home while you think about fooling around there." Ryan snorted, and his face darkened.

"You were the one who asked." Freya chuckled. "I'm kidding. This lab is very far from the city. It's not even convenient for me to buy some cosmetic products."

"I have a friend over there, and I can ask him to arrange a driver for you. You can travel around and have fun on weekends." Ryan said gently, "It's not every day that you get to travel abroad, so don't get too stressed out with learning. Sometimes, you can go around and relax on weekends."

"Won't you be jealous? Aren't you worried that I'll have an affair?"

"No. You're not that sort." Ryan's dark eyes were filled with conviction.

Looking at the handsome young man through the screen, Freya nearly had the strong urge to hug him.

Coincidentally, Dani began to cry in the cradle.

Ryan put his phone aside to coax Dani, and Freya watched as he did so.

At that moment, a strange thought popped into Freya's mind.

It felt as if Ryan was her husband, and he was taking care of her daughter while she was studying overseas.

She did not hang up the video call. At times, she would lower her head to read the documents on her desk. When she missed her daughter, she would lift her head and look at her phone. The video call was still going.

Freya and Ryan carried on with their own things.

Although they were far apart, they had never been so close at heart.

After work every day, she would switch on her phone and start a video call with Ryan.

Though, as time passed, she also became closer to the researchers, many of whom were quite young.

Sometimes, they would invite her to go to town for a meal after work.

In order to gain more knowledge, Freya and Tessa usually would not turn down their offers.noveldrama

Over time, there were a few times when Ryan called, and she would happen to be out for dinner.

When the video call was connected, Freya would say in a rush, "I'm still out eating, but I'll call you once I'm back."

"Today, I took Dani out for vaccination. After she came back, she started crying and fussing," Ryan said.

Freya's heart instantly clenched. She leaped to her feet and walked out to coax her daughter.

After a while, Ryan said calmly, "Darling, you're starting to live more freely over there. There must be men eating with you, right?"

"They are just my colleagues," Freya swiftly said." Don't you trust me?" 1

"I do, but I can't help but feel jealous." There was a hint of bitterness in Ryan's

eyes. "I'm suddenly a little less confident in myself." 1
