Chapter 187 Do You Really Not Like Younger Men

If Freya had been publicly recognized as Hugh's daughter from the very beginning, she and Kristian might never have had a reason to cross paths-or at the very least, things wouldn't have ended up like this.

Even if Kristian had wanted to make a move, he'd have had to weigh the alliance between their families and all the other complications that came with it.

That thought alone left a tangled mess of emotions churning in Hugh's chest.

"No, I wouldn't have," Freya replied, her voice steady and resolute,

Hugh turned his gaze toward her.

She could see straight through him and went on, "Even if I'd been known as your daughter from the start, it wouldn't have stopped Kristian from filing for divorce. That outcome would've stayed the same."

Kristian, like her, already had everything. Even if he had known who she really was, he still would've ended the marriage the moment he'd made up his mind.

"Mina..." Hugh's heart ached, haunted by the sense that he'd never truly protected her.

"What's done is done." Freya didn't want him dwelling on it. "I've never once regretted the choices I made." Even if the marriage had been a disaster, she had no regrets.

She'd put in the effort. She'd fought for it. But in the end, the story still didn't have a happy ending-so she chose a different chapter.

Life doesn't wait. You keep walking, no matter the road. There are countless crossroads in life, and whichever turn you take, you shouldn't look back with regret.

"Don't overthink it, Dad," Freya added gently, "I'm really happy right now."

Hugh stared at her for a long moment, then said nothing more.

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

Treya changed into something more elegant and left with Hugh for the hotel where Lionel's birthday banquet was taking place.

By the time they stepped into the venue, the place was already buzzing with guests. Unlike typical business gatherings, tonight's crowd had come solely to celebrate, not to talk shop.

The moment Freya and Hugh entered, Kristian and his group took notice.

Isaac and Melinda approached with warm smiles.
