 Descartes holds that God is free in creating the eternal truth about the radii of a circle. If God’s freedom in this and other cases just consists in His complete indifference and independence, then the Cartesian claim that God is free to do x does not entail that there exists the possibility that God not do x or that there exists the possibility that God do something else. As Descartes makes very clear, such possibilities exist only if God takes the extra step of creating them.
