The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2231
Edison, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror. “I’ve looked into Zephir Gosling’s identity and background. His mother is the once–popular actress Patricia Emerson. Patricia had given birth to a daughter before giving birth to Zephir, and the daughter is now the wife of the second heir of the Bouchers, Naomi Topaz.
His cousin is the wife of the head of the Cliffords in
Octavia, and the elder master of the Cliffords is Mr. Nolan Goldmann’s maternal grandfather.”
Nollace rubbed the bridge of his nose.
“That fella has quite a few connections, huh?”
Daisie lifted her head immediately. “Why are you investigating him?”
Nollace squinted and opened his lips. “Because I’m jealous.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her legs on his thighs. “What’s there for you to be jealous of? The person that I like and love is you!”
Edison pretended that he had not heard anything.
Nollace picked her up, placed her on his thigh, pinched her chin, and chuckled. “What did you just say? Say it again.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2232
“Of course.” James crossed his legs and responded with a hum. “After all, not many men can be like me. Even if the woman is someone that I like, I’ll stop having any idea about her as long as she has a man. That’s just my personal bottom line and principle.”
She laughed. “Just like what you did with Freyja?”
James lay back languidly. “I admit, I’m still very unreconciled about that. However, I only lost because of the order of our appearances. If I had known her earlier, Coleman would have never stood a chance.”
When the crew’s vehicle arrived at the Coralia Hotel, Daisie and James got out of the car, got escorted by security into the hotel lobby, and checked themselves into the hotel.
Daisie’s room was situated right next to James‘. She stepped into the room with her luggage. Not long after, she heard the doorbell ring.
She opened the door, and one of the receptionists was standing outside her room. “Ms. Vanderbilt, your room should be the penthouse suite.”
She was startled. “But I didn’t book myself a suite.”
The receptionist smiled. “Mr. Knowles is the person who made the reservation for you.
Daisie was stunned.
‘Nollace?‘
Daisie took the elevator to the top floor and went straight to the suite. The moment she stepped into the room, she saw Nollace talking with Shannon on the couch.
Shannon turned his head, saw Daisie, and got up with a smile. “Then I shan’t disturb the both of you already.”
Nollace also got up. “Okay, take care.”
After Shannon left, Daisie walked up to him in surprise. ” Since when did you arrive here?”
Nollace brought the hem of his jacket together. “I arrived one hour earlier than you guys did.”
“Why are you…”
Nollace took her into his arms. “I can’t be at ease
knowing that my wife is filming out here, so I’ve come here to accompany her.”
Daisie blinked as she thought of something. “Did you just meet Director Fallon because of Zephir?”
He burst into laughter, but his tone sounded a little jealous. “Are you worried that I’ll do something bad to him?” a
She shook her head. “That’s not it… Director Fallon thinks very highly of Zephir, and he’ll definitely not
LIDDUAN,
Daisie was stunned.
‘Nollace?’
Daisie took the elevator to the top floor and went straight to the suite. The moment she stepped into the room, she saw Nollace talking with Shannon on the couch.
Shannon turned his head, saw Daisie, and got up with a smile. “Then I shan’t disturb the both of you already.”
Nollace also got up. “Okay, take care.”
After Shannon left, Daisie walked up to him in surprise. ” Since when did you arrive here?”
Nollace brought the hem of his jacket together. “I arrived one hour earlier than you guys did.”
“Why are you…”
Nollace took her into his arms. “I can’t be at ease

He burst into laughter, but his tone sounded a little jealous. “Are you worried that I’ll do something bad to him?” o
She shook her head. “That’s not it… Director Fallon thinks very highly of Zephir, and he’ll definitely not

terminate his partnership with him just because of what you said.”
In fact, she did not want her relationship with Zephir to turn into Nollace’s personal grievance against him. And even if she and Zephir really could not be friends after the incident, she did not want him to lose the opportunity to cooperate with Shannon because of her issue with him.
Whenever it came to Zephir, she just could not be too heartless with her actions. After all, she had always regarded Zephir as a friend.
Nollace let off a soft chuckle and lifted her cheek. “I won’t do that because it’s unnecessary. He may be the assistant director of this project, but I’m a shareholder.”
She smacked him lightly. “Did you spend money again?”
Nollace pinched her chin and nibbled her lip. “I spent it because of you.”
Nollace invested $25,000,000 in the production of The Fog and became the largest investor in the project, which shocked the crew.
Nollace even appeared at the opening ceremony, accompanying Daisie, which made many people envious.
After the opening ceremony, Shannon walked toward Nollace with Zephir. “Zeph, this is the new investor in our drama, Mr. Knowles.”
Zephir exchanged gazes with Nollace with an unchanged expression and smiled. “I’ve heard a lot about you, Mr. Knowles. I think this is my first time meeting you.”
He took the initiative to extend his hand.
Nollace lowered his gaze and shook his hand politely. “It seems that you got to know me through my wife. It’s an honor, Mr. Gosling.”
Their auras surged suddenly, an influx of ferocious intent flooded both of them underneath the calm surface, and the waves kept hitting them deep down.
Even Shannon noticed something and interrupted the conversation. “We still have to catch up with the shooting schedule for today. Zeph, you should go and start–preparing first.”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2233
Zephir withdrew his hand, nodded, took a look at Nollace, and immediately left the scene.
Nollace looked at his back.
‘He knew how to conceal his feelings and kept his emotions from surfacing. It seems that he’s quite a difficult rival to deal with.‘
At Blackgold…
The news that two supervisors and a manager were fired from the company quickly spread to the ears of the personnel. Obviously, they all knew exactly what this act was for.
Especially the employees who had discussed Freyja behind her backs, their faces stiffened and turned pale when they heard the news, for fear that it would be their turn next.
In the administrative office…
Leonardo reported the progress of the investigation, Our men have been following them for two days and
found that the relationship between the woman and her husband isn’t good. Her husband is working in a company, and he had an affair a year ago and divorced her.
“The woman who the husband cheated with also happened to get pregnant before marriage. So, she said that she spread rumors only to vent her dissatisfaction. In general, she looks down on women who get pregnant before marriage.”
Colton frowned. “That’s it?”
Leonardo lowered his head. “The woman has no
connection with many people as her social circle is tiny. According to the reactions of her neighbors and the community, it’s not the first time that she’s spread rumors about a young girl.”
Colton continued with a stern expression. “She had the guts to spread rumors about my woman. No matter what the reason is, I won’t let her have it her way. Send her a letter of demand.”
Leonardo nodded.
He walked out of the office, and the short–haired woman approaching stopped him with a smile. “Mr. Prichard.”
Leonardo raised his head and responded politely, “Ms. Blueman.”
Jessie gave off a faint smile. “Is Mr. Goldmann in the office? It just so happens that there’s something that I wish to ask him about.”
Leonardo knew that she was a psychologist that Colton had hired. Because Colton wanted to know about
Deedee’s situation at any time, he allowed Jessie to come to find him at the administrative office without having to make an appointment.
He nodded and said yes.
Jessie walked up to the door of the office, knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in. “Mr. Goldmann.”

Colton closed the document and nodded. “How’s Deedee doing recently?”
Jessie lowered her gaze and looked a little embarrassed.
Colton frowned. “Just give it to me straight.”
She explained slowly, “Deedee isn’t cooperating very well when it comes to the treatment. She even hurt herself on purpose some time ago. I really feel bad about that.”
Colton frowned and looked as if he was deep in thought.
Jessie raised her gaze and glanced at him. “Deedee’s mental illness is getting more and more serious, and she’s been extremely resistant to the treatment. Even if drugs can place her condition under control, it’ll only cure the symptoms but not the root cause.”
Colton’s eyes moved. “Is there nothing else you can do?”
Jessie smiled. “I really want to treat her, but the problem is that she doesn’t trust me.”
She seemed to have inadvertently revealed the bite marks on the back of her hand, and the tooth marks were all bleeding.
Colton saw the marks. “What happened to your hand?”
She paused for a split second and covered it with her sleeves. “It’s nothing. This is all normal. Some patients would resist the treatment and react defensively, so getting hurt is sometimes inevitable.”
He responded with a faint hum. “She’s still a kid and can’t make the right judgment. It’s a good thing that you are this understanding.”
She let off a stiff smile. “She’s a patient, after all. But I think things will improve if her aunt is willing to come forward.”
Colton fell silent for a while as he tapped on the table with his fingertips. “I see. You should go back first.”
Jessie nodded, turned around, and left.
She left the building, got into the car, looked at the bite mark on the back of her hand, and her gaze became cold.
Her phone rang, and she saw the caller ID on the screen and hung up impatiently.
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2234
The phone kept ringing, so Jessie answered irritably, “I told you not to contact me ever again.”
“Jessie, I really miss you. Please just allow me to meet you. I promise I’ll divorce that woman and marry you.” A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Jessie’s eyes. “I’ll let you meet me when you get divorced, for real. I don’t want to bear the infamy of being a homewrecker.”
Jessie hung up the phone, and her expression looked gloomy.
‘He wants to marry me? Just who does he think he is?
‘Pfft, I only fooled around with him because he was willing to spend money on me, yet that b*stard actually took it seriously. How ridiculous.
‘Even if I want to get married, I’ll only marry into a wealthy family. And the most suitable candidate will be the second son of the Goldmanns. Even though he already has a fiancée, as long as he hasn’t gotten married and the baby hasn’t been born, then I still have a chance.
‘I figured out their relationship during the last six months. Deedee is a barrier that exists between the both of them, so it’d be best for me to start with that kid.
‘As long as I can make the woman leave and accompany
Coleman through the coming days when he feels devastated, I’ll come up with ways to make him accept. me gradually.‘
At noon…
Colton went to the hospital to visit Freyja, but she was still sleeping. In the past few months of her pregnancy, she had not put on too much weight but had been extremely lethargic and sleeping a lot.
He draped his windbreaker on the back of the chair, moved very lightly, sat on the edge of the bed carefully, and stared at her.
He reached out, brushed the strands of hair off her cheek with his fingertips, and tucked them behind her ear.
However, her sleep was very shallow, so shallow that she woke up when he touched her.
Freyja opened her eyes and met his gaze. “You’ve come.”
Colton sat by the bed and glanced at her. “Yeah, I’ve come to see how you sleep like a pig.”
Freyja sat up slowly. “Who are you referring to that sleeps like a pig?”
He pointed to her bulging belly. “Him, he must be sleeping like a pig.”
Freyja was amused but suddenly hissed out of pain.
He became nervous instantly, “What’s the matter? Does your stomach hurt?”
Freyja was surprised. “He kicked me.”
It was the first time that she clearly felt the baby moving so vigorously. It turned out that getting to feel the tiny life form moving in her womb was such a miraculous thing.
Colton caressed her stomach, placed his ears against it, and listened carefully. “Really? Let me listen.”
Seemingly feeling it, Colton felt a little overwhelmed. “H -He really moved! Can he really hear me?”
Freyja lowered her gaze and smiled. “Are you dumb? He won’t know what you’re talking about even if he hears you.”
Colton lifted his head and frowned. “Who are you calling dumb?”
She replied, “You.”
He placed his palm on the back of her head and sealed her lips with a kiss. “I dare you to say it again.‘
Freyja propped her hands against his chest and turned her face away. “Don’t push your luck.”
Colton unbuttoned her first button with his mouth. ” Then I’ll show you what would happen if I were to push my luck.”
She held back and complained softly, “You won’t even spare a pregnant woman.”
He laughed. A thin layer of sweat perspired on his forehead and rolled down the bridge of his nose. “That’s your fault too.”
Afterward, Colton tidied everything in the room for her. She was still infuriated about what happened earlier, her cheeks looked flushed, and the embarrassment lingered as she looked more beautiful and vivid than usual.
At least she was lively, not like a soulless puppet.
He lowered his head and kissed her. “I’ll bring Deedee back to your side when you get discharged from the hospital.”
Freyja was stunned, and her eyelashes twitched. “Why would you…”
Colton brushed the lock of hair hanging over her forehead. “She’s rejecting the treatments given to her, and I think it’s because you’re not there. If you’re by her side, at least she’ll listen to you.”
Freyja pursed her lips. “Colton, do you really think it’s Deedee’s problem?” balagter
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2235
Colton paused for a few seconds and asked, “Why would you ask so?”
Freyja’s eyes dimmed. “Do you really believe in Dr. Blueman?”
Colton stared at her and seemed to capture a trace of emotion from her gaze. He gave off a smile and stroked her cheek. “What are you thinking about? I believe in her only because of her profession.”
After saying that, he was stunned.
‘Was I explaining myself just now?‘
“I_”
“I believe in you.” Freyja suddenly responded and paused for a split second, “Colton, I believe in you.”
‘Perhaps it’s just me overthinking things. After all, judging from Deedee’s current situation, I can’t really doubt Jessie without any evidence other than someone else’s one–sided statement.”
Two days later…
Colton fetched Freyja back to the Seaview Villa and also picked Deedee up while they were on the way back.
Deedee had become even more taciturn than before and
did not talk much. After returning to the villa, she had been staying in the room.
Freyja and Colton came to Deedee’s room, and she knocked on the door. “Deedee, Aunt Freyja is coming in.”
She then pushed open the door and walked in.
But Colton did not enter the room. Deedee did not trust him, so presumably, she would not say anything if he was there.
Deedee sat on the bed with her legs bent and was indifferent toward Freyja’s appearance and approach.
Freyja sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly, ” Deedee, can you talk to Aunt Freyja?”
Deedee’s eyes moved, but she still did not utter a single word.
Freyja stroked her hair. “Deedee, I know what you’re afraid of. You’re afraid that I’ll abandon you. But I won’t do so. I didn’t say that I’ll stop loving you anymore after giving birth to a baby, did I? You’ll forever be my Deedee, and there will always only be one Deedee in this world.”
Deedee raised her head cautiously. Her eyes seemed to have lost their luster. “Aunty Freyja, I don’t want to see Dr. Blueman anymore.‘
She was startled. “What’s wrong?”
Deedee sobbed. “I don’t want to take medicine. I’m not sick, so why should I take medicine? Those pills are very bitter, and I can’t sleep after taking them. I even have bad dreams. I don’t want to take medicine anymore.”
Freyja held her in her arms in distress and remained silent for a while..“Deedee, can you show me the medicine that Dr. Blueman gave you?”
“I don’t have the medicine. Dr. Blueman takes them away after I take them. I sometimes spit them out secretly. When I take medicine, my head hurts. Aunty Freyja, I don’t want to see Dr. Blueman.”
For the first time, Deedee was afraid of taking medicine, and her gaze looked empty.
“Okay, if you don’t want to take medicine, then don’t take them. You won’t have to take any of them in the future.” Freyja stroked her back and fell into deep thought because of her words.
‘Deedee’s condition has worsened compared to before. If those pills were really helping her, she wouldn’t be so terrified. In any case, even if it’s a genuine treatment, I have to know what medicine Jessie is giving Deedee.‘
After calming Deedee’s emotions, Freyja walked out of the room and passed the study. She stopped outside the study while Colton was standing in the study and making a phone call.
The person he called was Jessie. “I’ve brought Deedee back. You can come over and visit her whenever you’re
free. My wife is by her side, so she should be more cooperative.”
He ended the call, noticed that someone was at the door, and turned his head. “How’s she doing?”
Freyja came back to her senses. “She’s fallen asleep.”
Colton put down the phone and walked toward her.” When Dr. Blueman comes over tomorrow, you can work together with her next to Deedee. With you around, I think Deedee won’t resist her that much.”
Freyja lowered her gaze and said nothing. Colton lifted her head. “What’s wrong?”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2236
Freyja rested her forehead on Colton’s chest and leaned against him.
Colton was startled, noticed her tense body, and stretched out his hand to hug her. “What’s the matter?”
“Can we find another psychologist for Deedee?” She hesitated for a long time before she spoke.
‘Even though Deedee’s condition is serious, what could’ve gone wrong when a psychologist can’t even start to lead her in the right direction after half a year and might even have made her condition worse?
‘And it’s impossible for Deedee to reject treatment and medicine for no reason.‘
After listening to Deedee’s sequelae after taking medicine, insomnia, headaches, and nightmares, Freyja could not help but think of what Deedee had said when she hurt herself six months ago.
‘She’s a simple child. She might choose to lie, but she would never frame someone else. When others ask her to do something, she’ll just do it. She won’t take any other things into consideration because her thoughts are just that simple.
‘How could she have come up with that action without any external factor, influence, or even instigation?‘
Colton squinted slightly. “Do you think Deedee is seriously ill because of the doctor?”
Freyja was stunned and took a deep breath. “What if I do?”
“Do you think it’s the doctor’s responsibility that a person with mental issues rejects the treatment? Her condition has gone on for more than half a year, and she’s still rejecting her doctor’s treatment. She even bit her doctor. Do you really think that the child doesn’t need a psychologist and can recover by herself?”
Freyja looked at him as a hint of shock flashed across the bottom of her eyes. “So do you think it’s Deedee’s problem too?”
Colton almost lost his cool. “Isn’t it?”
She pursed her lips and said nothing.
‘Deedee has mental issues, I can’t deny that. However, in Colton’s eyes, Deedee is just a kid who refuses to cooperate with the treatment, and the deterioration in her condition is never because of the doctor but because of Deedee herself.
‘Perhaps the things Deedee did back then have caused her to no longer be worthy of his trust. So, Deedee’s resistance against the treatments is only because she doesn’t want to cooperate and doesn’t want to be cured. There’s no other reason.‘
Colton calmed down and clasped her shoulders with both hands. “Freyja, I know you’re worried about her, but what we have to do now is to get her to receive treatment and not let her be. You, for one, should know best what the consequences will be if her condition isn’t taken seriously.”
Freyja gave off a faint smile. “She’s not related to you, so it’s only natural for you not to look into the root cause.”
She turned around and was about to leave the study.
Colton grabbed her arm, walked around her, and stopped in front of her. “Why are you making a fuss out of this matter again?”
“I’m not making a fuss.” Freyja lifted her head and looked extremely calm. “Colton, you think I only care about Deedee. That’s because Deedee has been by my side since she was a baby, and to her, I’m her only relative. It makes me feel guilty that she became who she is today. That’s because I didn’t fulfill my duty as her guardian, and you can’t understand my feelings.
“The rumors that are going around town are nothing to me, but Deedee, she got implicated because of me. If something were to happen to her, I’d live in guilt and pain for the rest of my life.
“She’s not my daughter, but still, we’re related by blood. Since we left the Pruitts, I’ve been the only person she could depend on. However, I actually thought of sending her away so that I could be with you when she needs me the most. You keep saying that I don’t care about your feelings, but who’s ever cared about my feelings, I—”
Freyja vented all the emotions that had been accumulating within her, and the emotional breakdown came to an abrupt end in his embrace.
Colton hugged her tightly, and after calming her down, his voice sounded hoarse. “I’m sorry.”
Freyja bit his shoulder ferociously.
He groaned but endured silently and did not let go.
Freyja finally loosened her jaw and hugged him. “Colton, it’s not that I’ve never felt regret. If you hadn’t kissed me three years ago, I might have been able to keep my feelings for you under control. You keep on saying that I’m the one who provoked you at first, but how does that not make you the one who took the initiative to provoke me first? Maybe us being together has always been a mistake from the very beginning…“
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2237
Colton lifted her cheek, rubbed her warm tears away, and kissed her, “Even if it’s a mistake, we can only dash to the end of things with this mistake. Freyja Pruitt, I don’t have the habit of changing wives, so I won’t allow you to change either.”
After Freyja calmed down and fell asleep, Colton summoned a family doctor to the villa to examine her.
When the doctor came out of the room, he said, “Mr. Goldmann, as a husband, don’t let your pregnant wife’s mood fluctuate too much. You have to divert her attention. Excessive negativity and emotional ups and downs in pregnant women can easily lead to postpartum depression.”
Colton could not help but clench his fists, but he then loosened them and nodded. “Okay, understood.”
After the doctor left, Colton looked toward the bedroom, and he suddenly thought of what Waylon had said to him: that Deedee was not an obstacle between them because Deedee had existed way before his appearance.
‘Since I’ve chosen to accept, Deedee should never be the factor that separates us.‘
He covered his forehead with his hand.
‘Maybe it’s time for me to revisit this matter.‘
The next day…
Jessie came to the Seaview Villa, and the maid welcomed her and entertained her for a bit downstairs.
Freyja came downstairs and looked at the woman sitting in the living room.
The woman had short hair, wore a white turtleneck sweater and a black leather skirt, and the makeup on her face looked extremely delicate too.
The maid walked to Freyja’s side and was about to introduce their guest to her when she interrupted with a smile. “I know, she’s Dr. Blueman.”
Jessie got up, walked up to Freyja, took a closer look at her, and smiled. “Ms. Pruitt, I’m here to treat Deedee. Can you bring me to her?”
Freyja was indifferent.
The maid smiled and offered to help. “Dr. Blueman, I’ll take you there.”
Jessie nodded, took a glance at Freyja, and followed the maid upstairs.
When she came to Deedee’s room, Deedee’s expression changed instantly as soon as she saw that it was her, and she hid underneath her blanket immediately.
The maid was embarrassed and did not know what to say for a while.

Jessie nodded, took a glance at Freyja, and followed the maid upstairs.
When she came to Deedee’s room, Deedee’s expression changed instantly as soon as she saw that it was her, and she hid underneath her blanket immediately.
The maid was embarrassed and did not know what to say for a while.
Freyja had already been standing at the door since some point in time before this.
“You can leave us for now,” she said to the maid.
The maid nodded. “Okay.”
Jessie sat beside the bed and gently pulled the blanket. ” Deedee, Aunty Jessie knows you’re afraid of the treatments, but your Aunt Freyja is here now, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Deedee still refused to come out from under the blanket.
Freyja walked up to the bed. “Dr. Blueman, let’s talk about Deedee’s condition.”
Jessie turned her body around, looked at her, and smiled. “Okay.”
She got up and left the bedroom with Freyja. The two then stopped in the corridor, and Jessie asked, “I know that you really want to know about Deedee’s condition, but unfortunately, Deedee has refused to cooperate with me. I’ve really run out of choices, so I hope you can be by her side and persuade her. Perhaps things will improve.”
Freyja turned to look at her and asked calmly, “Dr. Blueman, Deedee’s condition is quite unstable, do you know what’s the reason behind the fluctuation?”
Jessie’s expression remained unchanged. “Many patients would undergo a process like this. Patients with Ihapter mental illnesses generally don’t think that they’re ill, so it’s normal for them to reject the treatment. This is a rather comron case.
“If this condition were to drag on for too long, apart from the fact that it’ll develop into depression, most of them will aggravate and develop into schizophrenia.”
After saying so, she sighed. “Actually, I like Deedee very much, and I also pity her.”
Freyja looked directly at her.
‘She looks fine and unchanged on the surface. She seems. to really worry about her patients and sympathize with them.‘
After a long silence, Freyja slowly opened her mouth. ” Deedee said that she’ll have headaches, insomnia, and nightmares after taking your medicine.
Jessie was surprised. “She’s already emitting those symptoms before she started taking those pills.” Freyja frowned, looking slightly dubious. “Really?“
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2238
“Ms. Pitt, I know you’re worried about her, but I’m a psychologist. If I’m not sure about my patient’s condition, I won’t gamble with their lives.” Jessie smiled. “I did give her some pills, but they were all for her insomnia. Not to mention that they have very good curative effects on headaches. Nothing shows that all her symptoms only started right after she took the pills. I can guarantee that my prescriptions are effective ones. If you don’t believe in me, you can take these pills to a lab and run tests on them.”
After saying that, she took out a bottle of sleeping pills from her handbag and handed it to Freyja.
Freyja did not take it from her, her eyes moved, and she said after a short pause, “I believe you.”
Jessie put the medicine back in her handbag and looked at the picture frame hanging on the wall. “Actually, you’re the reason Deedee doesn’t want to be cured.”
She wondered. “Me?”
“She’s worried that you’ll abandon her as soon as she recovers from her condition. That’s why she’s been rejecting all my treatments.” Jessie looked at her. “That is especially the case ever since you got pregnant. To a child like her, as soon as you give birth to another child, the new baby will become a threat to her.”
A trace of coldness flashed across Freyja’s eyes.
Jessie lowered her gaze and gave off a smile. “Of course, all these ar just my speculations. After all, what we psychologists look into do with all psychological conditions. We get to the root of the issue and resolve the root cause. What Deedee fears the most and what are the situations that she doesn’t want to cope with, I’m sure that you know them better than I do.”
After discussing for a while, Jessie passed her the medicine and asked before leaving the villa, “Then can I visit Deedee here more often?”
Freyja looked at her. “You should ask Colton about that.”
Jessie smiled and said meaningfully, “Mr. Goldmann is someone who has his plate full and has his eyes fixed on huge accomplishments. He has a job to focus on, so I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to keep on directing my questions to him. After all, men are afraid of trouble.”
Freyja watched as she got into her car and left the villa.
Jessie looked into the rearview mirror, and a hint of coldness flashed across the corners of her lips.
‘I couldn’t help but be curious about how capable she could be, but was that all?
‘Since she values that girl so much, she’ll surely sacrifice her own happiness for that girl, won’t she?‘
Freyja returned to the living room and handed the medicine in her hand to the maid. “Take these to the hospital for a test for me.”
The maid was stunned. “Is there any issue with these pills?”
“Whether there’s a problem or not, we’ll know after the tests.”
‘I don’t trust her. All her words seem to be hiding a very strong ulterior motive.
‘It’s not difficult to locate her flaws. No psychologist would openly push such a responsibility onto the family members of their young patient when they show unwillingness to accept treatment. It’s obvious that she’s trying to hint to me that the child in my womb is the main reason Deedee has refused to receive treatment.
‘Heh, isn’t she implying I should get rid of my child?‘
At Emperon Villa…
Waylon sat in the study and skimmed through the information that he had found on Jessie. Jessie was a student at Bassburgh Private Middle and High School, and she was Lisa and Daisie’s classmate back then.
Cameron appeared out of nowhere, leaned forward from behind him, and looked at the documents in his hands. ” Who is this beauty that you can’t take your eyes off?”
Freyja returned to the living room and handed the medicine in her hand to the maid. “Take these to the hospital for a test for me.”
The maid was stunned. “Is there any issue with these pills?”
“Whether there’s a problem or not, we’ll know after the tests.”
‘I don’t trust her. All her words seem to be hiding a very strong ulterior motive.

It’s obvious that she’s trying to hint to me that the child in my womb is the main reason Deedee has refused to receive treatment.
‘Heh, isn’t she implying I should get rid of my child?‘
At Emperon Villa…
Waylon sat in the study and skimmed through the information that he had found on Jessie. Jessie was a student at Bassburgh Private Middle and High School, and she was Lisa and Daisie’s classmate back then.
Cameron appeared out of nowhere, leaned forward from behind him, and looked at the documents in his hands. ” Who is this beauty that you can’t take your eyes off?”
Wayne raised his hand, held her face by her jawline, tilted his ead, and stared at her. “Does she look beautiful?”
She wanted to escape from his palm, but he had locked her in his arms, so she answered perfunctorily, “Of course.”
He chuckled, and his fingertips seemed to have rubbed her earlobe. “But she’s nothing when compared to you.”
Cameron replied without any hesitation, “That’s not up for debate. It’s a fact that I look prettier than her.”
Waylon dragged her down into his arms, and Cameron fell right on top of him. She was stunned and pushed him away subconsciously. “Let me go, Wayne Goldmann. What you’re doing is an immoral act of taking advantage of a woman. Are you looking for an *ss–whooping!?”
“If you really wanted to kick my *ss, you would’ve done so already.” Waylon moved closer to her and placed his lips right next to her ear. “Why would you give me the chance to one–up you in this situation?”
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2239 Cameron choked on her own words. Her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, and she seemed incoherent. “T–That’s because I owe you money. That‘s why I‘m letting you do whatever you want!”
His eyes overflowed with hilarity, and he brushed his lips with his thumb. “Will the dignified Cameron Southern of the East Islands let others do whatever they want just because she owes them money?”
Cameron struggled, intending to break free and get up, but Waylon had her contained in his arms, and his voice sounded hoarse. “If you keep moving around, I‘ll lose control. When that happens, there‘ll be nothing that I can do about it.”
She froze, and her cheeks flushed again as she gnashed her teeth.” I‘ll castrate you if you dare!” Waylon sneered lightly, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Then what will you do in the future?”
Smoke was about to vent out from all her orifices, and her head seemed to have gone into a trance at this moment. Not only was her brain not able to reboot itself, but it crashed immediately.
Although she did not know anything about relationships and love, after living with so many straight men for so many years, it was not difficult for her to understand these flirtatious comments and suggestions. She could join them when she was pretending to be a man, but it was fatal to her now that she was the target of these flirtatious teases.
Waylon poked her head gently with his fingertips and gave off a
slightly doting smile. “It seems that you‘re someone that thinks about your future too.” Cameron took a deep breath. “Don‘t you plan to uphold your character? What‘s with all these comments?“,
He supported the side of his forehead in his hand, propped his elbow against the armrest, and raised his eyebrows. “What character do you think I need to uphold?” “A mature, calm, and regal man! Someone that stays away from women! Someone who’s cold and indifferent!” ‘When we first met, he wasn‘t such an undignified pervert!‘ Waylon‘s laughter intensified. “Who told you that I stay away from women?” She was suspicious, “Aren‘t Florence Serrano and Minzy Holland women too?” “That‘s a different story.” Waylon pulled her closer and pressed his fingertips against her lips. “You‘re the only woman that I won‘t stay away from.” Who in the world would be able to resist such a statement?
Cameron was completely defeated and buried her face into his shoulder.“I give up.” Seeing that she was hiding in his arms, acting as obedient as a puppy at the moment, waves of amusement and satisfaction rippled in his eyes, and he stopped teasing her. “What brought you here to me?”
Now that the topic had gone back on track, Cameron got up and
said, “I‘m a poor woman in Bassburgh now, and my father has frozen my credit cards. Why don‘t you find me something to do? Something that can get me paid.” Waylon chuckled. “A personal secretary. Are you up for this job?”
She hesitated. “Then what is the job description?”
He looked as cunning as a fox at the moment. “Coax me from time to time, accompany me everywhere, and just stay by my side.”
She did not even think about it. “No way.”
Waylon leaned back in the chair languidly. “I‘ll pay you.” Cameron immediately hesitated. He then added, “$40,000 per month.”
Cameron was suspicious. “All I need to do is stay by your side and coax you, and I‘ll get $40,000 per month?”
Waylon wrapped his arms around her and laughed. “If you want to do something else, I‘ll allow that.” What Cameron understood was that she could do whatever she wanted to do. Anyway, it was better to have some money than no money, so she instantly agreed to it. “Deal.” The corners of Waylon‘s lips rose slightly. “Then, can you start to coax me now?” She was astounded for a split second, and her eyelashes twitched.” What do you want me to do in order to coax you?”
He approached her. “Kiss me.”
Cameron bit her lip. Anyway, it was not their first time kissing, and they had kissed several times. Thus, she slowly stepped forward and gave him a peck on his lips.
Just as she was about to withdraw her face from his, Waylon pressed the back of her head, squeezed her chin, and the kiss intensified in the blink of an eye as if he was about to swallow her whole.
In the evening, when Colton returned to the Seaview Villa, he listened to a maid‘s report of what happened earlier today, including the fact that Freyja asked someone to run a test on the pills.
He did not utter a single word, draped his coat over his elbow, and went upstairs.
Freyja just came out of Deedee‘s room and encountered him in the corridor. She stopped in place and waited for him to come up to .
The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2240” Colton put his coat on her shoulders. Freyja was stunned for a bit and looked up at him.
He covered her in his coat. “The weather has changed a lot recently, and you‘re still wearing such thin clothing. Aren‘t you afraid of catching a cold?”
Freyja‘s gaze shifted away. “Ms. Blueman came here today.” He responded with a light hum. “I know.”
He stretched his arms around her shoulders and went back to the master bedroom with her. The moment they entered through the door, Freyja grabbed him by his arm. “Don‘t you have anything to ask me?”
Colton covered the back of her hand and turned to look at her.” Whenever you do something, you must have your own reasons. Why would you think that I‘d question you about this?” Freyja lowered her gaze. “I‘m sorry.”
Colton took her into his arms. “Don‘t make yourself feel upset, and if you‘re upset about something, just come at me.”
He had always kept the doctor‘s suggestion not to provoke her emotions too much, not to mention that he did not care much about such a trivial matter where she wanted to run a test on Deedee‘s medicine because of her doubts. She could run as many tests as she wanted to.
She leaned into his arms and called him softly, “Colton.”
He responded with an inquisitive hum.
Freyja did not look up at him. “I‘m sleepy already. Can you accompany me to bed?”
Colton paused for a short moment, then picked her up horizontally and laughed out loud, “You‘re so heavy.”
Freyja leaned against his shoulder. “It‘s your son who‘s heavy.” He placed her on the bed and took off her shoes for her. “Yes, after all, I am carrying two people.” Colton helped her lie down, lay down beside her, and held her hand. “Okay, now go to sleep.”
Freyja closed her eyes and felt his gentle breathing and body temperature, and drowsiness gradually poured in.
The next thing she knew, it was already 8:00 p.m.when she woke up.
After she woke up, she did not see Colton until she went downstairs and saw a figure in the kitchen.
Freyja walked to the dining table and sat down. Colton heard the movement and looked back at the table. “You‘ve woken up?” She nodded. “I‘m hungry.”
He brought some food that he had prepared to the table. “Even if you‘re not hungry, our son should be hungry already.”
Freyja looked at the nutritious dinner he had brought, picked up a spoon, and started drinking the soup first. “This tastes pretty good.”
Colton sat across from her, propped his hand against the side of his forehead, and stared at her. “Of course, you’re looking at the chef here.”
She laughed. “Yes, the second son of the Goldmanns is a genius. There‘s nothing that he can‘t do.”
He frowned. “You‘ve never called me properly.”
Freyja was stunned for a split second and met his slightly resentful gaze. After a while, her lips moved slightly. “Cole?”
He was not satisfied. “Is this it?” She smiled. “Colly?”
Colton was rendered speechless.
He then crossed his arms and turned his face away. “You can call me whatever you want, but not Colly. It sounds so childish.”
‘It was still acceptable for Mom to call me Colly when I was younger, but my wife? That‘s so embarrassing!
Freyja finished her dinner very quickly. She placed the silverware down and got up slowly. “I‘m full already, and I‘ll leave the dishes to you, Colt.”
She then went upstairs.
Colton squinted slightly, returned to her senses, and realized what had just happened. ‘Colt... Well, that doesn‘t sound too bad.‘
The next day, Jessie parked her car at the entrance of Blackgold. She looked into the rearview mirror, applied her lipstick, pushed the door open, and got out of the car.
She came to the administration department unimpeded as usual and just so happened to meet Colton as he was walking out of the office. She then walked forward with a smile. “Mr. Goldmann.”
Colton looked up at her and sounded rather polite. “Dr. Blueman, is everything okay?”
“About that... I went to see Deedee yesterday, but I think Ms. Pruitt
seems to have misunderstood me.“, Jessie lowered her gaze and looked rather embarrassed.
