Upon hearing Connor's confession, Freya was stunned.
It would be a lie to claim that she has no feelings for him.
As she spent more time with him, she realized that besides being poor, Connor didn't seem to have any other flaws.
However, being poor was not a problem in her eyes. She believed that as long as he was willing to work hard, he could at least become much stronger than an ordinary person, if not becoming extremely wealthy.
After all, Connor had connections that ordinary people couldn't compare to. He could easily secure a job that ordinary people wouldn't dare to dream of by just asking Thomas.
Although she had developed a slight liking for him, she was still taken aback by his sudden confession and didn't know how to respond.
"Freya I genuinely like you. I know you might think I'm not capable enough, but I will definitely work hard. Can you give me a chance?" He continued speaking to her.
