Chapter 74 Want To Sit

And Talk

About an hour later, Farrah showed up, her trench coat hugging her frame. Her long brown hair gleamed softly beneath the evening lights.

She was swiftly ushered inside by the vigilant bodyguards stationed at the entrance. The only reason she dared to traverse the winding roads to this secluded villa at such a late hour was a brief, confirming phone call-Trent had indeed been referring to her dear friend Freya.

"Good evening, Seymour." Farrah greeted with a poised smile, her eyes meeting Trent's as he opened the door to welcome her.

Trent, a titan in the legal world, commanded respect and admiration—a fact Farrah was keenly aware of.

"Freya is inside," Trent replied, his voice low and considerate, careful not to use Freya's intimate nickname, Mina, in the presence of others. "She's had a bit too much to drink, I'm afraid. Could you look after her for a while?"

"Of course," Farrah responded without hesitation.

As she stepped through the door after him, her thoughts swirled with curiosity about Freya's well-being and whether Trent might be the one Freya had gone off and married without telling anyone.

Her thoughts crumbled to dust when she saw the man carefully tending to Freya, bringing her steps to an abrupt halt.

Kristian?

"Freya..." Farrah froze in the living room, her thoughts tripping over themselves, trying to make sense of it all. At the sound of Farrah's voice, Freya's head snapped up. Her expression remained unreadable, yet her eyes sparkled with an unusual intensity.

The moment Freya spotted Farrah, she sprang from her seat and dashed across the room, her arms wide open. "Farrah!" she exclaimed, burying herself in Farrah's embrace.

Farrah was utterly dumbstruck.

As she returned Freya's hug, her mind raced to catch up with the evening's surreal turn of events.

The notion that she, of all people, would encounter the enigmatic Kristian and the elusive Trent in one night seemed beyond belief. Who would ever believe a story like that?

"What's happening?" she whispered, her voice barely audible as she leaned into Freya.

Freya let out a deep sigh, her breath warm against Farrah's ear. "I can't bear the thought of sharing a bed with
