Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt

"Frey, since you're out, stop looking at your phone all the time. Come on, cheers."

A female colleague was outspoken enough to share some interesting stories that had taken place at the research institute.

Freya put down her phone and immersed herself in the atmosphere with the intention of learning more things.

Everyone chatted until 10:00 p.m. before they went back to their hostel.

Freya had drunk five to six bottles of beer, so she was quite drunk.

When she answered the video call from Ryan, she was still a little tipsy. "I'm sorry. I was too immersed in the conversation with my colleagues tonight, and I drank quite a lot. Is Dani asleep?"

"Yes, she is."

Ryan stared at the woman on his phone. Her enchanting, long hair was spread on the bed, and her face was red from drinking. How beautiful! Moreover, her pretty, big eyes were blurry from the alcohol. That charming look of her could make any man step out of line.

His handsome face darkened, and his tone was cold. "So you do still remember Dani."

Freya was caught off guard. Although she had drunk a lot, she was not completely drunk. However, being in this state made her even more agitated, and she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind." What are you trying to say? How can I possibly forget Dani?"noveldrama

"If you remember her, why did you drink so much and only return home at this hour?" A look of reproach was revealed in Ryan's eyes.

He had never once lectured Freya. As such, Freya instantly flew into a fury. "It's only 10 p.m. When I left, the rest were still drinking. To many, now is only the beginning of the night. Besides, do you think I wanted to drink so much? I did it for the sake of strengthening my relationship with them. By talking more to them, I can learn more things."

"Learning comes second. Your safety matters most. Understand?"

"I'm an adult too. I don't need you to tell me." Freya felt more and more aggrieved. "Ryan, you don't trust me, do you? You're snapping at me. We haven't been together for long, yet you're already snapping at me. I hate you." 2

With that, she tossed her phone aside. As a rush of emotions flooded her, she lay on the pillow and cried.

She did not want to talk to Ryan anymore.

She did not want him to take care of her child either.

Back then, when Ryan talked her into being with him, he made wonderful promises that he would treat her well, unlike Rodney. Yet, in the end, he lost his temper when she had only drank some beer and returned home a little late.

Anyhow, she must break up with him.

She cried herself to sleep, during which her phone rang many times, and she did not pick it up.

When she woke up the next morning, her head felt heavy, and her eyes ached. 1 Then, she recalled the conflict last night. Although she had pulled herself together and dismissed the thought of breaking up, she still felt very aggrieved.

She picked up her phone, only to realize that Ryan had made a lot of calls and video calls after she hung up last night. After she fell asleep, he sent numerous messages.

[Darling, I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm upset tonight mainly because I'm concerned about your safety. It's not safe for a woman like you to drink out there. You've only met your colleagues at the research institute not long ago, and you don't know their true character. Sometimes, they might seem nice at work, but who knows how they are in private? You said you drank quite a lot with them. How could I not be worried? If something happened to you, I wouldn't be able to go over to save you in time. If I don't care about you at all, it means that I don't love you.] [I understand you want to strengthen your relationship with your colleagues and gain more knowledge, but I think you must first learn to protect yourself. Don't forget you're not alone. You have Dani and me. You should prioritize your safety for our sake.]

[Also, in my opinion, you're already outstanding among the young people in this field of research. In that case, you might not be able to gain any useful knowledge from this group of people of your age or slightly older than you. If you really want to learn more, you should get acquainted with those knowledgeable, experienced professors. They're the ones with exceptional achievements in the cosmetic industry.]

[Set your target and find the one who can really help you. You don't need too many. One or two will be enough.]

[Go to bed early. I'll leave it at that. After you've woken up and read this message, remember to reply, okay? Otherwise, I'll be worried.] 5
