Chapter 134 Kristian Went To Alerith

Kristian lingered in the chair, the crisp lines of his tailored suit lending an air of detachment to his presence. As Frederick stepped in, Kristian inquired, "Ready to tell me now?"

"Ready

"Why are you so adamant about Freya unblocking you?" Frederick launched into the conversation.

A quick glance toward Kristian betrayed Gerard's unease.

His gut churned with the premonition that Kristian's forthcoming words would be anything but comforting

"It's I who should cut ties, not her," Kristian declared, his eyes turbulent with raw emotion. "She shouldn't have the power to block me."

Ideally, if someone were to be blocked, it would be him initiating it. Furthermore, Freya hadn't been honest from the very beginning.

Gerard found himself at a loss for words.

Frederick deemed Kristian's stance somewhat immature. "Why not just delete her? Then you'd be the one ending things."

Kristian just gazed at him in response.

He uttered no word, nor did his expression turn threatening, yet the intensity in his silence was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"If you truly desire Freya to unblock you, you must first prove your worth to her," Frederick said earnestly. "As things stand, she won't be persuaded otherwise."

Kristian's eyes narrowed. How had someone as uninspiring as this become Freya's friend?

Frederick hesitated, his voice trailing off. “Not to mention..." He pondered whether to divulge more.

Impatient, Kristian pressed on, "Not to mention what?"

"You are Freya's ex-husband," Frederick blurted out, then quickly averted his gaze, nervously scratching his cheek. He continued, his voice lowering. "She has a strict rule about past relationships-an ex should be someone you never hear from again."

Kristian's interest piqued, he queried sharply, "What about her first love? Did they cut off all ties after their breakup?"

He recalled Freya mentioning a similar idea.

Yet, he vividly remembered a party hosted by Liam where Freya, having lost a game, was asked to call her first love. Her reaction was quite revealing.
