She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 185

Chapter 185 You've Got As Good A Shot As

Shot As Anyone

Now that Kristian had laid his feelings for Freya bare, Cyril's own feelings for her deepened, taking root before he even realized it.

When Liam strolled back after wrapping up his tasks, he spotted Cyril standing off to the side, looking thoroughly dejected. Clueless about what had gone down, Liam stepped closer and asked, "What's with the face? You look like you just got hit by a truck."

"Liam... Cyril's heart was in knots.

Liam quirked a brow. "What?"

Why did Cyril look like someone who'd just gotten dumped before he even had the chance to date?

"You knew Freya was your brother's ex-wife. Why didn't you say anything?" Cyril asked, his voice laced with

unease.

Liam stopped in his tracks. "Who told you that?”

"Kristian," Cyril muttered, feeling like the fairytale romance he'd been dreaming of had shattered in an instant. Liam let out a laugh, low and amused, his usual aloofness tinged with something knowing.

So Kristian had finally made his move. Typical.

Cyril's frown deepened. "What's so funny about that?"

"Does it really matter that she used to be Kristian's wife?" Liam's voice was unbothered, a slight arch in his brow. "Or is it just the fact that she's married bothering you?"

"No! Absolutely not!" Cyril quickly threw up his hands, panicked.

He didn't even know why, but if someone had asked him whether he could accept

a divorcee, his answer would've been a firm no.

But now, he was open to the idea.

All he wanted was a love that felt right.

"Kristian told me Freya likes mature and steady men. Said she's his," Cyril admitted, sounding a little defeated. "He told me to back off now before I end up with nothing."

"My sister-in-law's single now," Liam said without hesitation, stating it as plain fact. “Anyone's free to go after her. In the end, it's her choice. Not my brother's."

Those words sparked a flicker of hope in Cyril's chest.
