Chapter 189 Trent Made The Call

Call For Her

For Freya, starting a new relationship meant she had already left the past behind. No matter what happened in that old relationship, it was water under the bridge. There was no point digging up something that was already done and dusted.

To her, life only moved forward. Clinging to the past only held back growth and stole her own happiness. Kristian asked, doubting how easily Freya could let go, "It's easier said than be done. Can you really say you were over your first love when you married me?"

Freya didn't answer. She wished she had a true first love-but did she, really?

Kristian took her silence as a confession. "If you've really moved on, why did you choose the punishment after Liam asked you to call him?"

"Think what you want. I know where I stand," Freya said, not in the mood to explain.

If she admitted Kristian was her first love, he'd either think she was still stuck in the past or just pretending. Either way, what was the point?

Not wanting to waste another second, Freya used Lionel's birthday as an excuse. "The banquet's about to begin. If you keep standing here with me, you'll miss your grandpa's celebration."

"I won't let you get involved with Cyril," Kristian said as he walked off, still wondering if Freya had feelings for Cyril.

Once, he'd have sworn she didn't.

But today, she tried to exchange numbers with Cyril-something she rarely did with strangers.

Freya didn't respond.

After he left, she leaned against the wall to collect herself. She thought about how marrying Kristian had a lot to do with falling for a handsome face. She wondered if she could ever break that pattern-or if she'd always be one temptation away from a mistake.

Still deep in thought, Freya took out her phone and hesitated before dialing. She needed help making a choice.

Trent's gentle voice came through. "Mina?"

"I need help deciding something. Someone wants to use my past with Kristian to get back at him. Should I go along with it?" Freya asked, feeling more clear- headed.
