Chapter 51 Freya Was Not

Without Allies

Freya's movements stilled, hesitation flickering across her face.

With a sharp turn of her head, she eyed the approaching figure of Lionel. Gently placing her fork down, she stood, her voice tinged with a mix of surprise and curiosity. "Lionel? What are you doing here?"

Lionel closed the distance with a worried frown, eyeing the meager contents of her plate. “Is this really all you're having for lunch?” His voice carried a weight of concern that filled the space between them.

"Oh, this? Just nibbling on something small," she assured him. Then she quickly added with genuine concern, "Have you managed to eat yet? If not, I can ask someone to whip something delightful for you."

Lionel's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze piercing as it locked onto hers.

He leaned in, lowering his voice to a confidential whisper. "Can you actually get them to do that for you?" Caught off-guard, Freya's smile faltered as she bit her lower lip, pondering her next words carefully.

In a sudden burst of seriousness, Lionel's tone hardened. "Freya, I need to know- has Kristian forced you to stay here? Are you being kept here against your will?"

Freya's heart skipped a beat. She masked her turmoil with a forced smile and lied to him smoothly. "Absolutely

She hoped her reassurance would dampen his worries. Honestly, if she really wanted out, not a single one of them could stand in her way. She chose to remain here, deliberately avoiding any bothersome issues or contentious discussions with Kristian concerning Ashley.

"Then why can't anyone reach you on your phone?" Lionel probed further.

"Earlier, someone kept bombarding me with calls, which I found rather irritating, so I decided to turn my phone off" Freya delivered her explanation with flawless poise.

A hint of concern deepened the lines on Lionel's weathered face.

He believed it unseemly to interfere overly in the younger generation's affairs. Without any admission from freys, he found himself at a standstill.

At that moment, Kristian made his entrance.

Noticing Freya and Lionel engaged in conversation in the living room, his brow creased slightly, and he epproached with his typical aloof air "Grandpa”

Lionel's expression stayed cold, unmoved "Treya's coming with me. She'll be at the family home for a few days." Freya looked bewildered
