Chapter 150

Freya hesitated for a moment before breaking off a tiny piece. "Just this bit. Try it, but that's all you get-Elodie made it especially for me."

Joseph glanced down at the crumb in his palm, looking resigned.

Before long, Maurice and the others returned.

Sylvie walked alongside Maurice, scrolling through the photos on his camera, a faint smile on her lips.

Jarrod looked around and noticed Octavia was missing. "Where's Octavia?" he asked.

Freya jumped in to answer, "She went back to the lounge. Seemed upset about something I honestly have no idea what I did to set her off."

Jarrod shrugged it off. "Forget it. She's got that princess syndrome."

Freya's words seemed to jog Maurice's memory.

He suddenly remembered that post on social media.

Dropping down beside her, Maurice poured Freya a drink, coaxing, "Come on, tell your big brother-who was that woman with your brother in the photo you posted the other day?"

Joseph's eyes flickered.

Sylvie couldn't help glancing at Joseph, either.

She wondered-if Joseph was seeing someone, why hadn't he told them? She'd asked before, but Joseph had always dodged the question.
