Chapter 1846

Colton walked toward the two sales clerks and tapped his knuckles against the countertop. “Wrapped
anything that the lady from earlier showed interest in. I‘m buying every single one of them.”

The two sales clerks looked embarrassed.

Freyja waited outside for more than 20 minutes, looking down at her watch from time to time to the
extent that her feet went numb.

‘If I were to know that this is the case, I might as well have chosen to stay in the car.‘

Two gift boxes were suddenly handed to her, and Colton‘s deep voice came from behind. “Hold them.”

Freyja glanced at the bags, grabbed them impatiently, and turned around to face him. “Mr. Goldmann,
may we go back?”

Colton looked at her.

“Is there nothing that you want to buy?”

“I won‘t use any of those items,” she claimed.

Colton scoffed and said, for mercy‘s sake, “If you don‘t have money, I can lend it to you.” Freyja chuckled
and restrained her laugh immediately.

” Do you think I‘m poor?”

He responded with a faint hum. “It seems so at the moment.”

She did not even blink. “Lend me a few million dollars then.”



As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of sternness flashed across Colton‘s eyes, and his eyebrows
twitched as a frown formed. “What did you just say?”

“Don’t you think I‘m poor?” Freyja‘s expression was unchanged, as if she was admitting her financial
state generously.

“I happen to be in need of a few million dollars, so Mr. Goldmann, you might as well lend it to me.
Anyway, this amount of money should only feel like a handful of loose change to someone like you, Mr.
Goldmann.”

Colton glared at her grimly–his gaze felt as sharp as swords. “Do you think you‘re worth that much
money?”

Even though he looked calm, Freyja could feel the chill in his eyes, which felt murderous.

She estimated it was because they were talking about money, which was a sensitive topic. Freyja was
only joking about it, however. Colton probably did not like women who only knew to talk about money
when he was around because of his suspicious and sensitive personality.

After all, his identity was a very obvious trait that he was born into.

People who were born into a lot of glory and wealth were most likely to encounter plenty of hypocritical
people and events, so she could not blame him for being mean.

Freyja turned around, paused for a few seconds, and laughed out loud abruptly. “It‘s not up to you to
decide whether I‘m worth it or not. Everyone is priceless in their own way, and their worth can‘t be
measured with money. No matter how rich you are, there are always things that you can‘t buy, not to
mention that my financial state has nothing to do with you, doesn‘t it?”

With a straight face, he said, “What a lame argument.”



Freyja shrugged. “I‘m just telling the truth. If you think I‘m short of money, who thinks that they‘re not
short of money? If you dare to offer to lend me some money, I won‘t shy away from asking for it. Besides,
it‘s you who brought it up. I‘m not the one who‘s begging you to do so.”

“Freyja Pruitt!” Freyja had already walked away without waiting for him to speak. Colton was very
frustrated, but she was the one person in the world who could irritate him with just a few words, as if she
was born to restrain him.

‘I just can’t see through this woman. She‘s definitely not simple-minded, but she‘s not complicated,
either. She‘s unpredictable , just like a fog. When you think she’s that kind of person, she‘ll become
another type of person in a blink of an eye. And when you want to see through her, you‘ll find out that
you can‘t do so no matter what.

‘When I treat her like cr*p, she‘s indifferent about it. When I treat her well, she doesn‘t appreciate it either.
She just pisses me off.‘

On the other side of the city, in a huge restaurant...

Only two guests were eating in the restaurant, Daisie and Nollace.

It was obvious that they had reserved the whole restaurant for themselves.

Delicate tableware and wine glasses were placed on the white tablecloth , rose–scented candles had
been lit, and the retro all–copper suspended ceiling and the exquisite oil paintings on the walls gave off
strong colors and a glamorous atmosphere.

Nollace rearranged the plates of dishes for her and moved her favorite food nearer to her. Suddenly, a
shrimp was delivered to the front of his mouth. He paused for a bit, and his grin intensified. “This is the
first time you‘ve peeled a shrimp and fed it to me.”

Daisie whispered, “The main reason is that I didn’t have a chance before this...“
