Chapter 91 Her Moral Principles Remain-Beyon...

Shortly after the message was sent, Freya's phone lit up with Lionel's incoming call.

She swiped to answer with a quick, "Hello, Lionel."

"Am I interrupting anything, Freya?"

"Not at all."

"Do you have time tomorrow evening?" Lionel asked, his tone hopeful. "Isaac and Melinda have returned from handling their affairs, and considering your pending divorce from Kristian, they thought a meal together might be appropriate."

Freya hesitated, letting the silence stretch between them.

She and Kristian had just shared dinner at the Shaw family's residence on Friday. Though only Liam and Lionel had been present, it still qualified as a family gathering.

"Melinda has been eager to see you since her return yesterday," Lionel continued, filling the silence. "Would you like to speak with her?"

"That won't be necessary," Freya replied, unwilling to face Melinda's persuasive charm. "I'll attend tomorrow night."

"Wonderful." Relief colored Lionel's voice.

After exchanging goodnights, Freya waited for him to disconnect. The prospect of another family dinner weighed heavily on her mind.

She massaged her temples, placed her phone on the charger, and retreated to freshen up.

That night, she slept without disturbance.

The day's exhaustion had seemingly claimed every ounce of her energy.

He didn't waste time contemplating whether Ashley's words after her deception had been sincere; instead, his thoughts revolved around Freya and Trent. Did she truly understand the kind of man Trent was?

The more he dwelled on Freya's relationship with Trent, the more tangled his emotions became.

Eventually, fatigue overcame his restlessness, and he surrendered to sleep.

The following morning, Freya arranged for a cleaning service to restore order to her apartment, while Kristian departed for the office
