?Chapter 601:


    When Freya was done talking, Jarrett and Ethel both stared at her, as if genuinely stunned she’d say something like that.


    Ethel hesitated for a second. “Mina, you…”


    “Mmm?” Freya drew out the sound, lifting a brow.


    “Thank you for your blessing!” Jarrett suddenly shot up, offering a deep, earnest bow in her direction. “Please trust me—I’ll take care of her with everything I’ve got. I won’t let her go through anything unfair!”


    “Good.” Freya’s expression eased a touch, softening around the edges.


    Ethel instantly broke into a grin. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Freya, murmuring with a tiny sniffle, “I love you so much.”


    Freya cared deeply for her. There was simply no way Freya could oppose her rtionship. Ethel, all of a sudden, felt a sting of guilt for having doubted Freya earlier.


    “I love you too.” Freya’s heart settled a little more.


    From the second she walked in, she’d been sizing up Ethel’s boyfriend, and she had to admit—he really did seem to love her sister. He knew her preferences, her aversions, and all the small, thoughtful things he did showed that his feelings weren’t just for show.


    After dinner, Freya decided to give them some space. They were at that age where dating was only natural.


    “Jarrett, I’m gonna pass on hanging out this afternoon.” Ethel had some things she needed to go over with her sister. Jarrett understood right away. “Alright.”

    As they were heading out, Freya made her way to the front to settle the bill.


    With her around, there was no way she’d let Ethel or Jarrett pay a cent. Once they’d parted ways with Jarrett, Ethel slid into the passenger seat of Freya’s car. On the drive home, she nced over and asked again, “Mina, you really don’t mind me being with Jarrett?”


    “If I were against it, would that actually stop you two from being together?” Freya rarely joked around, but her tone was yful.


    “Yes, it would!” Ethel nodded confidently.


    She trusted her sister wholeheartedly. If Freya didn’t approve of someone, it would definitely be for a reason.


    “Now I’m kind of starting to feel bad for your boyfriend,” Freya teased, smirking.


    Ethel puffed out her cheeks. “Mina!”


    “That kind of thinking isn’t healthy. Whether it’s me or Dad, even if we disagree, you should still form your own opinions,” Freya told her calmly. “We’re not always right, and we can’t possibly understand everything that goes on between the two of you.”


    Ethel blinked. “So should I listen to you and Dad or not?”


    “If there’s a difference in opinion, we just need to sit down and talk things through,” Freya replied. “Understand each other, weigh things out properly, then decide.”


    “What do you think of my boyfriend?” Ethel genuinely valued her sister’s judgment.


    “He’s fine. He treats you well. But he’s a little on the timid side,” Freya answered bluntly. “As for the rest, I can’t say yet.”


    Ethel twirled her fingers in herp. “He’s not really timid.”


    “Really?”


    “He just got nervous meeting the family.”
