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.

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.
