Chapter 242 Keeping a Lover?
Russell woke up in the morning and saw the news about Silicon Express's smuggling case.
He figured Elizabeth would be busy in the morning, so he waited until eleven o'clock to call her.
Freya didn't have the habit of checking the news in the morning, so she had no idea about the Silicon Express smuggling story.
At that moment, she was in a good mood, humming a tune while arranging flowers in a vase.
It wasn't until she heard Russell calling Elizabeth that she realized something big had happened again.
What now?
Freya frowned as she listened to the phone conversation.
Russell said calmly to Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, about the Silicon Express smuggling case, if you need any help, just say the word."
Elizabeth's expression softened when she heard Russell's concern. "Yes, thank you, Dad."
Russell continued, "If you're too busy tomorrow, don't worry about coming home for dinner. Company matters come first."
Elizabeth smiled. "Thanks, Dad. I'll bring Seraphina and Timothy home tomorrow evening."
Hearing that Timothy would be coming too, Russell said helplessly, "Alright."
Freya put down the flowers in her hand and walked over to Russell. After he hung up, she asked urgently, "What happened? What smuggling?"
Russell sighed and briefly explained what had happened.
After hearing it, Freya's expression changed several times. "This is really serious. Can Elizabeth handle it?"
Russell reassured her, "All we can do is trust that she can handle it."
Freya nodded, but couldn't help thinking about Elara, wondering if she had finished the divination for Elizabeth.
Just as Freya had that thought, her phone on the coffee table vibrated.
Freya walked over and picked up her phone, seeing it was a message from Elara.
Elara: [Mrs. Nightingale, when are you free? Let's meet]
Freya quickly replied: [I'm free at 12:30 today]
Elara responded quickly: [Okay, let's meet at Silver Lining Teahouse at 12:30]
Freya breathed a sigh of relief.
When the time came, Freya arrived at Silver Lining Teahouse right on time.
The teahouse had an elegant atmosphere, filled with the fragrance of tea, giving off a peaceful feeling.
Elara was already sitting at a table in the corner. Seeing Freya come in, she smiled and waved.
"Freya, please sit." Elara said with a smile.
"Thank you." Freya smiled back.
She called the server and ordered a jasmine tea.
Elara took out a thin booklet from her bag. "I've done the divination. Your daughter is indeed facing some difficulties recently, but she'll have good people helping her. As long as she can hold on, she'll definitely get through this crisis."
Hearing this, Freya felt a bit more at ease. "Can she really get through this crisis smoothly?"
Elara smiled. "She has benefactors in her life, and she's very capable herself. As long as she stays calm and handles things properly, this crisis will actually become a learning experience for her and help her future development."
Freya said gratefully, "Thank you. Hearing you say that makes me feel much better."
Elara smiled. "Mrs. Nightingale, although fate is sometimes beyond our control, as long as we stay calm and do our best, everything will get better."
Elara looked down at the booklet and continued, "This is your daughter's recent fortune. I looked at her past fortune and it wasn't very good, but after going through hardships, her future will get better and better. However, I looked at her relationship with her parents..."
Freya's expression changed. "What is it?"
Elara looked up, her expression slightly serious. "Your daughter doesn't have much connection with you and your husband."
"From my divination results, your daughter may become troubled because of you and your husband during this period. You and your husband need to pay more attention to your health, especially physical health. There might be some minor issues."
Freya frowned with worry and asked, "Will it be serious?"
Elara shook her head reassuringly. "Not necessarily a big problem, but you need to be careful, get regular checkups, and maintain healthy lifestyle habits. As long as you pay attention, many problems can be prevented early."
Freya thought for a moment, then finally asked with difficulty, "Will my daughter bring misfortune to me and my husband?"
Elara sighed helplessly and shook her head. "That's not how you should look at it. You don't need to worry too much. Keeping a good mindset will have a positive impact on both your and your daughter's fortune. As long as your relationship with your daughter is harmonious, things will naturally go smoothly."
"Thank you, Mrs. Bailey. Your words have put my mind at ease." Freya said gratefully.
Elara smiled. "You're welcome, Mrs. Nightingale. Remember, as long as there's love in your heart, everything will be fine."
Freya nodded. After chatting with Elara for a while, she felt much more relaxed.
Freya decided to care more about Elizabeth in the future. After spending more time together, Elizabeth would naturally understand her feelings.
Elara watched Freya's departing figure. She closed the booklet, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a triumphant smile.
Freya, please treat Elizabeth well!
Try your best to gain Elizabeth's trust!
The Sherman Group.
Today, all departments at the Sherman Group were busy, everyone working hard to handle the Silicon Express shipwreck and smuggling incident.
At noon, Timothy personally delivered lunch. He watched Elizabeth finish eating before leaving.
Betty curiously stole a glance at Timothy's departing figure.
Timothy was wearing a baseball cap, mask, and sunglasses, so his face couldn't be seen, but his build looked just like a model's.
Betty couldn't help but wonder: Could Elizabeth be keeping a lover on the side?
Just as Betty was thinking this, she saw Robbie coming out of the office. She immediately put away her curiosity and buried herself in her work.
The Nightingale Mansion.
Around 3 PM, Freya was preparing to go out with a thermal food container.
Russell saw her and couldn't help asking, "Freya, where are you going?"
Freya smiled. "I had the chef make some healthy soup. I'm taking it to the Sherman Group for our daughter."
Russell was stunned, somewhat surprised. "You're delivering it yourself?"
Freya glanced at him. "Why are you so surprised? No matter what, Elizabeth is my daughter."
Russell came to his senses and smiled warmly. "Yes, Elizabeth is our daughter. It's right for you to care about her."
He was more than happy that his wife wanted to repair her relationship with Elizabeth.
