Chapter 2218
Daisie continued. “But if the Goldmanns can accept Deedee – ”
.
“Daisie,” Freyja interrupted her calmly. “Even if the Goldmanns can accept Deedee, what
will the public think of the Goldmanns? What will the public say when they know that the
future daughter–in–law of the Goldmanns brought her niece along when she moved in with
the family?
“Or, on the other hand, I, as Deedee‘s guardian, actually abandoned her in order to get
married to Colton? No matter which I choose, Colton will be the one who‘ll have to juggle
with all the pressure in the end.”
“I don‘t want to implicate Colton, and I don‘t want to drag the Goldmanns into this mess.
I‘m even more afraid that the public‘s opinion will only make me feel that I‘m not worthy of
him.” Freyja lowered her head, and a warm teardrop fell on the back of her hand. ‘No matter
wliat I do, having the best of both worlds is just not an option. It‘s just like what my mother

do I have to be happy?‘
In fact, it was just her inferiority complex messing with her mind. She felt that she was not
qualified, so she sealed her heart from the world.
Colton was the one who had moved her, and Deedee was the one who had made her
recognize reality.
Daisie stood up and was about to say something when the door of the ward was suddenly
pushed open. Nobody knew since when Colton came back, so perhaps he had heard what
they were talking about.
Freyja was astounded. None of them could read the emotions on his face. “Daisie, can you
please give us the room for a bit?” Daisie took a glance at Freyja and left the ward in the
end. The roon became dead silent for a moment. Freyja raised her gaze, and her voice
sounded hoarse. “Have you forgotten something?” Colton hurried to her and clasped her
shoulders tightly with both hands. “Freyja, do you really don‘t want me to get implicated?
And why must you care so much about the public‘s opinion? Do you really think that I‘m not
capable of handling those things, or
do you think that I‘m incapable of curing Deedee‘s mental problem? I‘ve hired the best
doctor in the world for her, so what else do you want me to do?”
Her pale lips moved slightly. “Is Jessie Blueman the doctor that you‘ve hired?” “I‘m glad that
you know this.” He tightened his grip. “Freyja, the child that you‘re bearing now is one of
the Goldmanns, so I won‘t let you take it away. And if you insist on leaving, I won‘t even let
you see the child in the future, so you‘d better believe that, as I‘m a man of my word.” She
buried her head, and her shoulders trennbled. “Colton, I went to the company to find you
the other day. Do you know what they said about me? Do you really want to accept a
woman who‘ll marry you along with someone else‘s child? How can you be sure that the
woman has no ulterior motive?” His gaze dimmed. “When did that happen?”
She felt powerless. “The day before I was hospitalized. I went to find you, and they told me
that you had left with a woman.” Colton was slightly stunned. She had been hospitalized a
week ago, but he did not know that she actually went to Blackgold to look for him a week
ago.

Deedee‘s condition. She‘s a psychology major, so what are you suspecting?”
lung?”
‘Jessie is the psychologist I hired for Deedee half a year ago. She knows it. Could it be that
she‘s started to care more about me and suspect me because she‘s heard those rumors?
But this also shows that she‘s capable of jealousy when it comes to me. It‘s not that she
doesn‘t care about me.‘
Upon thinking of this, Colton‘s expression became more relaxed, and he squatted down in
front of her. “I know that you‘re being a teeny bit more sensitive because of the pregnancy,
and I also know that I‘ve been busy recently and have ignored your feelings, but can you
stop treating me like this all the time?”
Colton leaned against her chest and caressed her bulging belly as if he was in close contact
with the fetus. “Since Deedee‘s incident, you‘ve been avoiding me. Maybe you‘re afraid of
implicating me or being assaulted by all the rumors, but you can always count on me, and I
promise that I won‘t let those words get to you again, okay?”
