Chapter 183 No Inclination To Revisit Former...

Freya followed Kristian, convinced they were headed to his family's residence.

From a distance, Liam observed with utter bewilderment. Never had he anticipated Kristian employing such a direct tactic to interrupt the conversation between Cyril and Freya.

Curiosity gnawed at him-what could Kristian possibly have said to make Freya willingly depart with him, abruptly ending her discussion with Cyril?

With this question lingering in his mind, Liam sauntered over with the schedule clutched in his hand, feigning ignorance of the situation. "Why did Kristian and Freya leave?" he inquired casually.

"He mentioned needing to take Freya back to your family home to retrieve something," Cyril responded honestly, concealing nothing.

"Are you serious?" Liam stretched the words, placing a reassuring hand on Cyril's shoulder. "Fetching something is hardly complicated. You could have asked me to go instead."

Cyril blinked in surprise. "Huh?"

The notion hadn't even occurred to him.

"But... Kristian's presence is so intimidating. I couldn't bring myself to speak up."

While their exchange remained straightforward, the interaction between Kristian and Freya unfolded quite differently.

After settling into the car, Freya turned to him. "What exactly are we retrieving?" Kristian ignited the engine silently, steering toward his family home.

Several minutes passed before he finally broke the silence. "The retrieval was merely a pretext. I sensed your discomfort back there, so I fabricated an excuse to extract you from the situation."

"Then you can let me out here," Freya stated, her voice devoid of emotion.

Kristian showed no intention of stopping and continued driving directly to the Shaw estate.

Recognizing his determination, Freya ceased pressing the issue and closed her eyes, allowing herself a moment of rest.

Upon reaching their destination, Kristian exited the vehicle.

Just as he moved to open her door, he discovered Freya had already stepped out independently.
