Chapter 98 Delaying The

Divorce

As Freya scanned the room, the reason for tonight's gathering had finally come into focus.

She sensed that Lionel and Kristian's parents likely hoped she would reconsider the divorce.

"Freya, come sit with me," Melinda called warmly, her voice laced with affection, a clear sign of her fondness for Freya.

Freya complied and moved over to her.

Soon, Lionel and Melinda began discussing the issue.

Isaac, as usual, sat on the sidelines, buried in his newspaper. Kristian, awkward and out of place, stood alone.

"What do you think you're doing?" Lionel barked when he saw Kristian sit next to him. "This seat isn't for you. Go over there!"

Kristian remained silent, shuffling to another spot, only to be met with disdain again. "Freya and I don't want to sit next to you. Move further away."

Kristian could feel the weight of their disapproval. His family clearly resented him due to the impending divorce from Freya.

With no further protest, he made his way to sit beside his father, finally escaping the humiliation of being dismissed.

"Still haven't convinced Freya to change her mind?" Isaac asked casually.

Kristian didn't respond, his frustration simmering just below the surface.

"Have you met Freya's family?" Isaac pressed.

"No," Kristian answered curtly.

At this, Isaac lowered his newspaper, finally showing a flicker of emotion. "Kristian, that's not like you. You've always been efficient."

"You make it sound like you were some kind of smooth operator when you were chasing Mom," Kristian retorted, his tone cutting.

"Speed isn't everything: success is what matters," Isaac replied, nonchalantly picking up his newspaper once again, clearly uninterested in his son's problems. "If you still think you have a chance with your old flame, you'll never win Freya back."

Kristian, feeling like his father was sticking his nose where it didn't belong, shot back, “If you've got so much time on your hands, why not manage the company?"
