Chapter 20 Kristian Investigates Freya-

When Freya arrived at the airport, the clock had already struck half-past twelve.

The next flight from Jeucwell to Alerith departed at two in the afternoon. Leaping from the car, she dashed to the counter, desperately inquiring about potential cancellations.

All online tickets had vanished, leaving her only the hope of a last-minute opening.

But life seldom unfolded according to plan.

Just then, two figures materialized behind her.

A voice-steady yet laced with frost-cut through the air. "Already planning to escape right after filing for

divorce?"

Freya froze mid-breath.

Turning slowly, she faced Kristian in his impeccable formal attire, Gerard hovering at his side.

"I'm terribly sorry, ma'am, but today's flight to Alerith has no available seats," the staff member explained with practiced courtesy. "If your matter isn't urgent, perhaps consider tomorrow morning's eight o'clock departure."

"No, thank you," Freya declined softly.

With planes full and trains booked, driving remained her only option-yet the distance between Jeucwell and Alerith stretched dauntingly before her.

"Cancel one ticket for the two o'clock flight to Alerith," Kristian instructed the staff member calmly, noting her

urgency.

Gerard's brow furrowed in confusion. "If you cancel, who will handle the meeting?" Kristian's eyes never left Freya's retreating form. "Who said I'm canceling?"

Gerard paused, comprehension dawning across his features.

His gaze darted between Freya's still figure and Kristian's resolute profile, embarrassment co expression.

"Your identification, please," requested the staff member professionally.

At Kristian's subtle nod, Gerard surrendered his ticket and document, which the staff processed with efficiency.

The staff member then beckoned Freya back.
