Chapter 179 Why The Change Of Heart

"Don't go thinking Freya's gonna fall for you just 'cause you've got a pretty face." Lionel couldn't go a single day without tossing a jab at Kristian. "She's not that shallow."

Kristian kept his tone easy. "She's not shallow-she just happens to have a thing for handsome guys."

"Well, that only proves she's got good taste."

"You're not wrong."

And with that, Lionel was momentarily silenced.

Their playful back-and-forth was practically a daily ritual. Still, no matter how often Lionel poked fun, he never truly got mad at Kristian, and Kristian never took any of it to heart.

Kristian noticed Lionel watching him and raised a brow. "What's wrong?"

"I'm trying to figure out the odds of Freya being drawn in by that face of yours." Lionel looked genuinely pensive, as though this was a question worthy of deep reflection. "I hear young women these days go for pretty boys. Your cousin's like that. So are all those girls on TV."

Kristian might've lacked confidence in a lot of areas, but not when it came to his looks. For that, he could only thank his parents-those genes matched up a little too perfectly with Freya's preferences.

"Why not try switching up your hair or wardrobe a bit?" Lionel had never been a fan of men putting too much effort into their appearance. To him, it felt like a hit to masculinity.

But now, he was ready to throw all that aside just to help his grandson catch Freya's eye.

Kristian looked genuinely puzzled. "I thought you didn't like Freya at first. Why the change of heart?"

Lionel had always been old-fashioned, even hoping Kristian would marry someone of equal status.

When Kristian first married Freya, Lionel had been openly displeased.

But later on, even before knowing Freya's background, he'd started thinking Kristian might not even be good enough for her.

It was a complete turnaround.

"Because Treya's a kind soul." Lionel didn't go into his usual speech about what Freya had done for him.
