Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Are You Pregnant

It was strange. Everyone in Alerith saw Freya as invincible-a force to be reckoned with. Yet Farrah insisted she needed protection, claiming Freya had a terrible sense of direction and vowing to protect her.

Sometimes, Freya wondered when she'd given Farrah the impression she was someone who needed safeguarding.

With those thoughts swirling in her mind, she followed Farrah into the private

room.

Farrah tugged her down into a seat, and once they'd ordered, she leaned in. "Why did you plan to leave Jeucwell so suddenly? Is your husband relocating?"

She knew about Freya's marriage.

But neither spoke the name aloud. Farrah never asked, and Freya never volunteered it.

When two women met, conversation flowed easily-food, drinks, gossip, work, fashion, beauty. Relationships rarely came up unless something major happened.

Besides, Freya hardly ever attended Kristian's gatherings. Since they'd never announced their marriage, few even knew.

"No," Freya said plainly. "We're getting divorced."

Farrah blinked, certain she'd misheard.

Then her eyes widened.

Shock slammed into her-like she'd never once imagined Freya's marriage ending

this way. "You're joking, right? I remember you said he treated you well!"

"The papers are filed." Freya's voice stayed even. "Next Tuesday, the court finalizes it."

"Give me a second." Farrah floundered, struggling to process it.

Divorce? She'd never seen this coming.

In her view, Freya was incredible-how could anyone walk away from her?

After a steadying breath, Farrah ventured, "Did you initiate it... or did he?" "He did."

"Why?" Curiosity sharpened Farrah's tone.

Freya sidestepped the truth. "We weren't right for each other."
