Chapter 149 Agreed To Meet Cheryl

Melvin flicked his eyes to the rearview mirror, catching the silence radiating from Freya like a heavy fog "Is something troubling you?" he asked, his voile calm but curious.

“No,” Freya murmured, easing back into her seat and pinching the bridge of her nose. You don't have to pretend to be my boyfriend anymore. I cleared things up with Kristian last night."

"All right,” Melvin responded without hesitation, accepting her words with ease. Feeling drained, Freya let her eyes drift shut, hoping for a moment's peace.

As the car continued on, Melvin couldn't shake the sense that something was off about her today. Instead of heading to the office, he quietly redirected the car toward her home, where Hugh and Ethel lived.

Ethel had once suggested that if he wanted to rebuild his relationship with Freya, he had to speak more often.

Freya paused, hand resting on the banister, and glanced down. "What is it?"

"Can we sit down and talk? Hugh asked, cautiously, his face tinged with unease. "It's been ages since we just talked or even watched TV together."

Those words gave Freya pause.
