Chapter 138 I Hope You'll

Leave Me Alone

Freya's arrival immediately caught the attention of three people.

Hugh's tension eased when he saw her, though worry lingered in his heart. He was unsure if she still had feelings for Kristian. Should that be the case, Kristian's actions might have hurt her deeply, intensifying her distress.

"Mina!" Ethel's gaze was locked onto her.

Freya approached and playfully tousled her hair. She then turned to face Kristian with measured, pointed words. "The door is that way. No rush on your way out."

"We're not finished yet. How can I just leave?" Although Kristian's voice stayed steady, his eyes locked onto Freya the moment he spotted her in her professional office attire.

In that instant, he could only think that she perfectly embodied the role of a leader in the corporate world. Freya asserted right from the beginning, "There's nothing more to talk about. When we got divorced, I told you a proper ex should stay out of my life."

"I'm not just any ex-husband," Kristian retorted casually, his gaze fixed on her. Freya was momentarily at a loss for words. How could he be so audacious? Kristian overlooked her scornful look and turned to Hugh and Ethel. "Mr. Briggs, I need a moment alone with Freya. Would you mind giving us some room?"

Hugh instinctively looked Freya's way.

If Freya was okay with him leaving, he would leave and if she wanted him to stay, he would stay.

"You both can go downstairs and have some rest. I'll join you after I've spoken with him." Freya finally resolved to speak privately with Kristian.

"But..." Ethel was a little worried.

With a calm look, Freya reassured her, saying, "It's okay. Go on."

Ethel was always compliant with Freya's wishes, so despite her hesitance, she left, casting several backward glances.

Hugh followed suit, albeit reluctantly. He had hoped to stay, believing that his presence might deter Kristian from overstepping

However, respecting Freya's request, he left.
