Chapter 949 Want to Fleece Me
Luna nodded, “Yes, and me, the three of us.”
Freya replied, “Sure, my treat.”
“This money should be covered by Orion,” Luna said.
Freya laughed heartily, “Of course.”
She served a dish to Luna, “I helped Orion so much, he should treat me to a feast.”
“Yeah, you should milk him for all he’s worth,” Luna agreed.
Freya chuckled, “It’s a must.”

Kai was reading a book, with Sacha by his side.
“When is your mom coming back, Kai?” Sacha asked, munching on a pomegranate seed.
Kai replied, “I don’t know, she hasn’t called.”
He didn’t even look up from his book as he spoke.
Sacha observed his seriousness.
“If your mom doesn’t call, why don’t you call her?” Sacha inquired.
“Dad said Mom went back for something important and told me not to call her all the time,” Kai explained.
Sacha mischievously leaned in, “Hey, Kai, do you miss your mom?”
Kai suddenly turned his head.
With wide, round eyes, he said, “Aunt, you’re so nosy.”
Sacha sighed and rubbed her belly, “I can’t go anywhere because of this belly.”
“You’re having too much fun,” Sacha referred to his trip to Switzerland for skiing.
Kai remembered the fun of skiing and grinned, “It was really fun, I want to go again.”
“How about you call your mom and ask when she’s coming back? When she does, you can go,” Sacha suggested.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Kai shook his head, “No, Dad told me not to call Mom.”
Sacha raised an eyebrow, “You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you?”
Kai said firmly, “It’s not stubbornness, it’s being obedient.”
“Wow, Kai, being so obedient is rare,” Sacha ruffled his hair, “Tell me, do you have a secret?”
Kai smiled.
“Just as I thought,” Sacha prodded, “Come on, tell me, what’s the secret that makes you so obedient?”
“Dad said if I bothered Mom, he would buy me a toy I really wanted,” Kai revealed.
Sacha was speechless.
“A toy can buy you off?” she wondered.
“I’m just a kid, a toy can buy me off, right?” Kai innocently explained.
Sacha thought for a moment.
Kids do like toys, after all.
“Oh well,” she sighed, lying on the couch and patting her belly, “Laughing baby, hurry up and grow up so I can be free.”
Then I won’t be stuck at home, unable to go anywhere.
Kai smirked, “Aunt, you need more friends to hang out with when my mom’s not around.”
“Annoying,” Sacha pinched Kai’s cheeks, “Don’t say that, it’s embarrassing for me.”
“Just because I have no friends, don’t be so bothered about it,” Kai comforted her.
Sacha looked dejectedly at the ceiling.
Now, she had resorted to seeking comfort from a little boy.
“If you’re bored, just have Uncle Chen come back to keep you company. If that’s not enough, you can call Uncle Chen,” Kai suggested.
Sacha asked, “What? Have Uncle Chen keep me company, I understand. But why would I call him?”
“If you’re bored, call him to pass the time, right?” Kai said seriously.
Sacha was speechless.
Is this really a suggestion?
“He’s my husband, can I just call him like that?” Sacha asked.
“Can’t you just call him?” Kai looked innocent.
Sacha sighed.

In the evening, Freya took Orion to the restaurant he had booked.
He held a star in his arms.
Luna was also there.
From a distance, they looked like a happy family of three.
She walked over.
Luna stood up when she saw her, “Freya.”
Freya approached, “Sorry for the delay, there was traffic on the way.”
“It’s okay, we just arrived too,” Luna said, “Please have a seat.”
Freya pulled out a chair and sat down.
She looked at the star in Orion’s arms, “The little girl is so well-behaved.”
She reached out, “Let me hold her.”
Orion handed the star to her embrace.
“What, having a son isn’t enough for you? Now you envy those with daughters?” Orion teased.
“Stop teasing me,” Freya retorted.
Orion chuckled, “But you have two sons. In the future, you can bring back two daughters-in-law. I only have this little baby. When she grows up and gets married, I’ll be lonely.”
Freya said, “Yeah, I can bring back daughters-in-law in the future. I’ll have to butter you up nicely so you’ll let me marry Star later.”
Luna poured water for her, “Are you thinking too far ahead? You’re still so young, already thinking about being a mother-in-law?”
At least they had a close relationship.
In the future, the kids would definitely meet.
Growing up together, if there were feelings, it would naturally happen.
There was no need for any interference.
If it didn’t work out, then it wasn’t meant to be.
Star might meet another boy, Kai and Morton might meet other girls.
Orion handed Freya the menu, “Take a look, what do you want to eat.”
“I’m not going to look, you order for me, and order the expensive stuff,” Freya said.
Orion hesitated, “Today, are you treating me, right?”
“Yes, I am. I’ll order the most expensive dishes for you today,” Orion replied.
Freya said, “How expensive can the dishes be? Just open a bottle of red wine.”
Orion joked, “Are you really trying to fleece me?”
“Oh, it’s just a bottle of wine. For you, what’s the big deal?” Freya teased.
He waved to the waiter and said, “Get me the best bottle of red wine.”
The waiter said, “The best one is XXX, eighteen thousand per bottle. Shall I open it?”
Orion gestured, “Yes.”
Freya remarked, “Seems like you’re generous.”
“No, I’m generous to you,” Orion said to Luna, his expression turning serious, “Without you, I don’t know how many detours Luna and I would have taken.”
Freya swayed the star in her arms, “I didn’t do much.”
“Alright, no need to be polite. I won’t say thank you either,” he poured a glass for Freya and himself, “Let’s have a drink.”
Freya raised her glass and clinked it with his.
