Chapter 143 Questioning

Kristian

How dare he say something like that!

Audacity

Kristian reeled, visibly thrown by Melvin's dudacity.

Yes, he and Freya were divorced-but did that strip her from his life so completely,

as if she no longer had any connection to him at all?

"Gerard." Kristian's restraint snapped like a taut wire.

Gerard, catching the shift in the air, wasted no time. He knew better than most the extent of Freya's combat skills—and her temper. Tugging at Melvin's arm, he muttered, “Let them sort it out themselves. Let's go."

"You should really tell Freya's ex-husband to back off," Melvin said flatly. "She's his ex-wife now, and chasing after her like this? It's downright inappropriate."

Gerard was at a loss for words.

Kristian's fury surged.

Ex-husband and ex-wife?

Those words sliced through him like knives, each one a brutal reminder of what he'd lost.

He threw Gerard a sharp look, then gripped Freya's arm with firm intent, making it clear he had no plans to argue further-he was taking her to his car.

"Let her go." Melvin stepped forward, placing himself between them, his face carved from ice.

Kristian held on, refusing to release her.

With swift precision, Freya twisted her wrist, slipping free from his grasp like water through fingers.

Had the setting not been so public and the onlookers fewer, she might've taken a swing at him right then and

there.

"If you leave with him tonight, I swear you'll regret it," Kristian hissed, the helplessness in his voice betrayed only by the desperation in his eyes as she pulled further from his reach.

In moments like this, Freya was the only anchor that kept him from drowning in chaos-his one, fleeting sense of peace.

Freya raised her gaze, calm but piercing "This is Alerith."

"So what?" Kristian shot back, eyes glinting with something dark. The chaos of the evening had clearly unsettled him. "I don't like playing tricks, but that doesn't mean I don't know how."
