Chapter 1029 Half a Year
In the following days, Hayden stayed by Freya’s side in the hospital without leaving even for a moment.
Freya looked at him several times with complicated expressions.

After all these years of loving Hayden, she couldn’t completely ignore him.
Especially Hayden took care of her personally during these days. He even washed her underwear.
How could she not be moved?
So, one evening, she had a candid conversation with Hayden.
“You don’t have to do all this. I am hurt this time and don’t
want to be your secret lover anymore.”
She continued, “I was a fool in the past. Even when I went from being your official girlfriend to a hidden lover, I still hoped that being with you was enough.
“But after this incident in the water, I’ve really thought it
through. My life doesn’t revolve solely around you. I have my parents and loved ones. If I stubbornly continue to make a

mess of myself for you, I won’t have the face to go back and
face them.”
Freya took a deep breath and looked at Hayden earnestly.
“Hayden, if you can’t marry me or openly be with me, you should let me go.”
After listening to her words, Hayden fell silent for a long time. before asking Freya. “Let you go, and then what? Watch you get married and have children? And I’ll only become a mere bystander in your life?”
His voice was hoarse and hurt, and his eyes were even red
with emotion.
“I admit that it will be difficult to love someone else as
intensely as I love you, but I can’t betray my parents‘ expectations of me.”
Hayden looked at Freya’s features and suddenly remembered her parents.
It was during their last summer vacation in college when he accompanied Freya back to her hometown.
He recalled the simple and kind couple, dressed in ordinary and even cheap clothes, with their hands and faces covered in
wrinkles.

But they were warm and welcoming, treating him with kindness.
Even though Hayden didn’t promise to care for Freya for a lifetime, her parents still treated him like a son–in–law, even preparing a feast with the livestock they raised for Hayden.
However, Hayden didn’t show much friendliness to Freya’s parents then. And he was indifferent even when Freya’s friends visited her.

Hayden’s attitude inevitably hurt Freya’s parents. And he heard their conversation with Freya in the yard that night.
Freya’s parents expressed concerns about the significant gap between their families. And they worried that if Freya and Hayden were together, there would be considerable family conflicts, and Freya would lead a difficult life.
Hayden felt Freya’s parents had some self–knowledge when he heard that at the time.
But he could no longer remember exactly how Freya responded to her parents‘ concerns.
However, afterward, Hayden would often receive phone calls. from Freya’s parents, thanking him for the gifts.

Hayden knew Freya sent them gifts to change their perception of him, so he always brushed off it without going into details.
In the following years, Freya’s parents frequently inquired about when he and Freya were planning to get married.
Hayden had always pa*sed the question to Freya, letting her handle it and pacify them.
Throughout these years, he just enjoyed Freya’s care with peace of mind, shielded from the pressures coming from her
parents.
But now, Freya wanted to leave him and even had plans to
marry someone else.
“So, if she has someone else to marry, will all the kindness she showed to me transfer to that person?” Hayden asked himself
inwardly.
As that thought emerged in Hayden’s mind, he felt uneasy.
He grabbed Freya’s hand suddenly. In his reddened eyes, there was an unprecedented seriousness.
“Freya, can you give me some time? I will sort everything out in at most six months and then give you everything you want…”
