Chapter 119 Their Divorce

Was Official

Freya remained unwavering in her response. "Okay."

The moment the word escaped her lips, Kristian's grip on the folder tightened like

a vice. He couldn't quite name the emotions bubbling within him. It felt as though something vital was slipping from his grasp, destined

to vanish forever.

"Freya," he called her name, his voice laced with an unfamiliar softness.

Freya paused, halting at the traffic light. Her gaze remained tranquil and composed. "Yes?"

"I'm sorry for what happened before," Kristian began, his voice surprisingly steady, as though he hadn't expected the words to leave his mouth. "I'll find out who attacked you and who set you up at the hotel."

"There's no need," Freya replied, her tone indifferent. "The past will be erased once we're officially divorced." She didn't linger on what had already passed. Whether it was past wounds or fleeting moments of tenderness, they would all remain in the past once the divorce was finalized.

"If you ever find yourself in trouble again, you can come to me," Kristian offered, his voice still holding a trace of hope.

Freya's response was calm and unchanging. "There's no need."

Kristian fell into silence. Was she making it clear that she wanted to sever every connection between them? If a child were involved, would that soften her resolve? Would she stay for their sake?

As these thoughts swirled in his mind, a pang of frustration flickered within him- directed squarely at Felipe. Why hadn't Farrah divorced him?

"Once you're in Alerith, keep Farrah hidden," Kristian suddenly said. "Felipe already knows she's there."

Freya faltered for a moment. Why had the conversation shifted to Farrah?

She didn't think much of it, nor did she suspect Kristian was trying to manipulate her. She answered with a quiet confidence, "Alerith is a big city; he'll never find her."

Kristian didn't speak further.

Her confidence intrigued him. Was she relying on her own skills, on Trent's connections, or perhaps the influence of the Briggs family?

As he mulled over these questions, his gaze lingered on her, studying her more carefully than before.
