Chapter 1953

However, this beast was as tall as her on its hind legs, looking pretty scary.

“Ah!”

Colton , who had just gotten to the backyard , heard her voice and ran over. He then witnessed Goldbar
pushing Freyja down to the ground.

She closed her eyes in fear, but Goldbar seemed to like her a lot and started licking her face. Colton
put his hand to his forehead. “Goldbar!”

Goldbar heard someone call it and turned toward Colton. In the next instant, it sat down, looking
innocent.

Colton helped Freyja up and cleaned her face with a napkin while giving a warning. “Goldbar, you‘re
not allowed to kiss her.”.

Freyja was rendered speechless.

Goldbar gave out a low howl in protest.

Freyja pushed Colton away, got up, brushed the dirt from her clothes, and looked awkward. “I thought it
was going to bite.”

She had been under the impression that big dogs were vicious.

Colton patted Goldbar‘s head.

“Bite her.”



Goldbar looked at him, then at Freyja.

Freyja angrily shoved him. “Colton!”

Colton grabbed her wrist, pulled her forward, and smiled. “Are you afraid of dogs?”

She struggled. “Who said that?”

‘I was just startled.

Colton saw how she was looking pale but was pretending to be calm, so he teased her. “Why don‘t you
play around with Goldbar then?”

“I will.” Freyja put out her hand, attempting to pat the dog.

Colton slowly added, “Oh, by the way, Goldbar bites.”

Freyja froze and pulled her hand back.

Colton couldn‘t help but laugh. He leaned in closer to her and said, “If you kiss me, Goldbar will know
that you‘re with me and won‘t bite you.”

Freyja suddenly understood what he was doing, so she chuckled and pushed him away. “Colton, you‘re
so shameless. Do you think I’m a kid?”

She turned and was about to leave when Colton pulled her into his arms.

Freyja struggled. “What are you doing?”

He hugged her tightly, pressed his lips to her forehead, and said in a low voice. “Don‘t move. I just need
a hug.” Freyja whispered, “We won‘t be able to explain if someone sees us.”



Colton looked at her. “Why didn’t you wait for me just now?”

She choked. “Why should I? I went up with Daisie, so if I came down with you, people were going to
wonder.”

Colton pressed his lips together while keeping his eyes on her face.

Freyja pulled herself away when he didn‘t speak. “I‘m going inside.”

Colton grabbed her arm again, making her turn around, and his lips slowly parted. “Give me some
time.”

She was surprised. “What?” Colton continued. “I‘ll make our relationship public.”

Freyja paused for a few seconds, then lowered her gaze.“ A–Are you serious about this?”

Colton frowned. “Do I not look serious?”

She didn‘t know what to say.

He had contemplated it and had ideas about their situation.

If he was serious about it, then would she be able to accept him and the relationship?

Daisie poked her head out from behind the wall, with Nollace standing behind her. They were sneakily
watching what was happening from afar.

“Nolly, why do you think Colton isn‘t making things public yet? Why are they sneaking around at
home?”



Nollace smiled and looked at her. “Who knows? Maybe your brother doesn‘t know how to speak to your
parents.”
