Connor turned to look at Thomas after Freya stopped him.

Thomas smiled faintly and said softly, “I’ll wait for you in the car first!”

“Sure!”

Connor nodded, then turned around and walked toward Freya.

When Freya saw Connor approaching her, she felt nervous and subconsciously took two steps back.

“What’s up?” Connor asked Freya softly.

“Look, Connor, thank you so much for today. If you hadn’t called Mr. Morgan, 1 wouldn’t have been able to get this investment!” Freya said politely to Connor.

“You’re my fiancee. It’s only right for me to do this!” Connor smiled faintly.

“I just feel very embarrassed. You helped me so much, and 1 misunderstood you time and time again. 1 thought you were a liar. I’m really sorry!”

Freya wasn’t apologizing for today’s matter but for everything she had done to Connor.

She had never taken Connor seriously or treated him as her fiance. However, Connor still spared no effort to help her. She felt very guilty.

“It’s okay. I’m not petty!”

After Connor heard Freya’s apology, he felt much better. No matter how many misunderstandings there were, they all disappeared in the end. Freya had also started to accept him.

“When I first met you, 1 felt from the bottom of my heart that 1 couldn’t fall in love with you, so 1 made three rules for you. However, after thinking about it, since we are engaged, I will marry you sooner or later, so…”

Freya paused for a moment and looked at Connor without saying anything.

“So what?” Connor asked Freya with a puzzled expression.

Freya looked at Connor and hesitated. In the end, she didn’t say what was on her mind. Instead, she changed her mind and said, “Actually, nothing. I just want to tell you, 1 think we can start by being friends!”

“Yes! Let’s start by being friends!” Connor lightly nodded.

Although Freya did not say what was on her mind, Connor could guess what she wanted to say to him.

After experiencing this, Freya’s view of Connor changed a lot. Although she had yet to fall in love with Connor, she was willing to try and slowly accept him.

“Connor, there is something that 1 have been unable to understand…”

Freya saw Connor understood what she meant, so she didn’t continue talking about it. Instead, she changed the topic.

“What is it? Just speak your mind!”

“I don’t understand how you know someone like Thomas. You have no way of crossing paths, right?” Freya looked up at Thomas and asked in confusion.

“I know Thomas because 1 saved him once before. The reason he came to invest in your company this time is to return the favor!”

Connor casually found an excuse for it. He knew that he could not expose his identity now.

“You saved Thomas?” Freya looked at Connor in shock.

“That’s right. When Thomas had a heart attack, I was the one who sent him to the hospital!” Connor said.

Connor had already guessed Freya would ask him how he knew Thomas. Therefore, when Freya was discussing the contract with Thomas, he had already thought of this excuse.

“I see!”

Freya nodded lightly. Although she found it unbelievable, Connor’s reason was still acceptable.

“Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go back now!”

Connor was worried that if he continued chatting with Freya, he might be exposed, so he wanted to find an opportunity to leave.

“I initially asked you to come to my office to get our marriage certificate, but I didn’t expect so many things to happen!”

Freya looked at the time as she spoke, then said softly, “The Civil Affairs Bureau should be closed now. Are you free tomorrow? Why don’t we get our marriage certificate tomorrow?”

“Yes, I have time!” Connor hurriedly nodded.

“Alright… See you tomorrow!” Freya whispered to Connor.

“See you tomorrow!” Connor nodded.

“I’m going back. You should go back early too!”

Freya waved at Connor, then turned around and walked into the office building.

Connor looked at Freya and sighed softly. Then, he turned around and walked toward Thomas’ Bentley.

“Mr. McDonald, I’m really sorry about today. 1 didn’t expect the plane to be delayed. 1 rushed to your fiancee’s company as soon as I got off the plane…” Thomas explained to Connor nervously after seeing him get into the car.

“You came just in time!” Connor replied expressionlessly, then continued, “Pay more attention to Freya’s company during this period. If she needs help, help her!”

“Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. As long as it’s the resources that Ms. Phillips’s company needs, I’ll do my best to provide them without exposing your identity!” Thomas quickly said.

“Good!” Connor nodded gently, then looked at Thomas and asked, “Right, as long as I get a marriage certificate with Freya, can 1 tell her my identity?”

“Uhm…”

Thomas hesitated, then said softly, “Mr. McDonald, logically speaking, as long as you and Ms. Phillips get a marriage certificate, you can inherit the former chairman’s assets successfully. However, there’s still a rule in the contract: Ms. Phillips must be willing to be with you before this inheritance can take effect…” “Willing to be with me? What does this mean?” Connor asked Thomas with a dumbfounded expression.

“It means that Ms. Phillips must truly fall in love with you before you can inherit!” Thomas replied softly.

“Is there such a clause on the contract? Are you kidding me?” Connor shouted agitatedly after hearing Thomas’s words.

“It’s on the contract, and it’s written very clearly. Why don’t I show you the contract now?” Thomas said with a smile.

Connor looked at Thomas, exasperated.

Originally, he thought that as long as he and Freya could get their marriage certificate, everything would be over, and he would no longer have to hide his identity from her.

However, Connor had never expected that his grandfather’s cousin would be so perverted. He even requested Freya must truly fall in love with him to inherit the money!

What kind of rule was this?

Connor couldn’t expose his identity, and he had to make Freya fall in love with him willingly.

This was even more difficult than asking Connor to fly by flapping his arms!
