Chapter 81 Being Taken Care of by Him
Freya realized that this man had become extremely domineering. She thought to herself that struggling was futile, so she might as well stay still!
However, he was in such proximity that she dared not take deep breaths, and her every breath was filled with his refreshing scent.
She even felt a bit giddy.
Austin's limousine was parked at the exit. His bodyguard opened the car door considerately as he saw his boss approaching. Austin carried the woman in his arms into the car. Then he got into the car himself and closed the door.
After Freya settled into her seat, Austin turned on the car lights and noticed several swollen red bumps on her fair legs, which were quite alarming. The mosquitoes in the woods were truly venomous.
Austin activated the button to slide down the partition in front of him and said to the bodyguard in the front seat, "Go buy some mosquito bite relief ointment nearby."
"Don't bother. I'll apply it when we get home!" Freya felt embarrassed about having the bodyguard go out of his way to buy it.
However, the bodyguard went to buy it anyway.
Although Freya wanted to appear stylish and elegant, the unbearable itching made her scratch her legs forcefully, and her delicate face showed great distress.
Austin didn't make fun of her. Instead, a touch of gentle concern appeared in his eyes.
The bodyguard was fast, and there happened to be a pharmacy nearby. He bought three types of ointments, all of them for relieving itching. Austin took them, but Freya intended to apply them herself. "I'll do it!" she said.
Austin, however, took a glance at the instructions on one of the ointment tubes under the light and then unscrewed its cap. "Raise your leg."
"I can do it myself." Freya didn't want to bother him.
Suddenly, Austin swiftly lifted her two fair and exquisite legs onto his thighs with his strong arm.
Austin squeezed out the cooling ointment and gently applied it to the swollen areas on her legs. When he touched the broken skin, Freya immediately felt a fiery sensation, causing her to let out a hiss.
"Hold on," Austin said, his actions becoming much gentler. Freya had accidentally scratched the inside of her thigh, and the damn mosquito had bitten her there too.
However, she didn't dare to scratch forcefully then, thinking that she would have to take care of that area herself.
Freya didn't expect that Austin would suddenly lift her skirt with his large hand. She gasped, worried that her underwear would be exposed. As Austin reached the area where her underwear was about to be revealed, he noticed a red swollen spot and then gently applied ointment on it with his slender fingers.
Freya hastily pulled down her skirt, not wanting to reveal too much. Considering he was applying the ointment for her, she chose to endure his rudeness.
"Is there anywhere else?" the man asked in a deep and hoarse voice.
Freya felt her face burning, and she shook her head. "No, there isn't." After speaking, she adjusted her straight skirt and instinctively moved away from him.
After his gentle application of the ointment, the atmosphere inside the car became inexplicably ambiguous.
Just then, a knocking sound came from outside the window. It was the excited face of their little boy. Austin rolled down the window, and their son exclaimed with excitement, "Daddy, Mommy, we're back!"
"Get in the car! Let's go home," Freya said to him.
At that moment, Natalie asked with a smile, "Freya, my parents and I will be staying here for a few more days. Can we take Daniel out to play on the weekend?"
Looking at Natalie's smile, how could Freya refuse? She nodded and replied with a smile, "Sure!"
"Goodbye, Austin and Freya," Natalie waved.
Another car was waiting to take them back to the castle where they resided.
Freya gently touched the sweaty hair of her little boy and curiously asked, "What did you play?"
"I had so much fun with Auntie! We went on a spinning horse ride, played with cool robots, and zoomed around on a tiny motorcycle!"
"Do you like Auntie?"
"Yes, I like her very much. She's so good to me," Daniel's face became serious.
Freya found it both amusing and worrisome. Fortunately, she hadn't been swayed to leave just yet.
"Oh! Mommy and Daddy, Auntie said you were dating just now. Is that true?" Daniel suddenly turned his head towards them, still not fully understanding what dating meant.
He just had a vague idea that it was a way for his Mommy and Daddy to develop their relationship.
Freya felt a bit flustered, while Austin smirked and said, "Yes!"
Freya quickly changed the subject, "Did you just have some fun?" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Daniel's attention immediately shifted, "Yes, I had a good time! I want to play again next time."
On the way back home, Daniel was still excited, but the kid's sleep came uncontrollably. With a sudden droop of his head, the little one nestled into his father's broad embrace and fell asleep.
Freya felt somewhat speechless. After sweating so much without taking a shower, they couldn't let Daniel stay like that. They would have to give him a bath when they got home.
As the car pulled up downstairs, Austin held Daniel in his arms, leaving no hand for Freya. So Freya took off her high-heeled shoes and walked barefoot.
Upon entering the house, Freya's top priority was to bathe Daniel. Although he was asleep, she could still put him in the bathtub.
Freya went to fill the tub with water, and Austin came in carrying Daniel. Freya was accustomed to bathing him, so she had Austin support Daniel's body while she washed his hair. The little boy was exhausted and slept soundly.
Freya looked at her son's flawless face under the bright light, which seemed too perfect to be true. Then she secretly glanced at the man holding him. Compared to her son's innocent face, his features were sharp and mature, exuding a masculine charm all over.
Austin's heart was also touched as he gazed at his son's face. The little guy seemed intelligent, but he was, after all, just a three-and-a-half-year-old child! His little body was fair and delicate. What an adorable baby.
Freya dried Daniel's hair before putting him to bed. As she was about to leave, she kissed him on the cheek, leaving a small nightlight on. Then she stepped out of the room.
Austin leaned against the nearby wall and his slender figure was illuminated by the dim light, which cast enchanting shadows on his face, rendering his expression alluring and unpredictable. Freya's heart tightened slightly as she gazed at him. 'Goodnight,' she said hastily."
After speaking that, she pushed open the nearby door and practically rushed inside.
Austin's gaze fell on the tightly closed door, and he let out a soft sigh tinged with sadness. Then he strode back to his room.
Freya was utterly exhausted today. After taking a hot shower, she lay down and fell asleep almost immediately.
She slept dreamlessly until dawn.
There was a knock on the door from outside, and Freya opened it to find Daniel walking in. "Mommy, come on, brush your teeth. We're going out!"
Freya pursed her lips and smiled. It seemed like she had become the laziest person in the house now.
After dressing up, Freya walked out of the door, only to find Austin lounging on the couch with his slender body stretching out as if he had been waiting for her.
"Let's go," Freya said to him.
Austin stood up and took Daniel's hand to go out. Freya could only choose to wear a pair of flat shoes. As they were about to leave, Freya noticed the height difference between her and the man.
She couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed since she couldn't even reach his neck. Just how tall is he?
