She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 200

Chapter 200 Turned The

Tide

Kristian had picked up on the silence-Freya still hadn't answered any of his messages. His fingers hovered uncertainly above the keyboard, drumming against the keys as a tangled mess of emotions stirred inside him At last, he typed out another message and hit send. "Once this whole situation is handled, if you still want nothing to do with me, I'll stop bothering you."

The past few days had given him a reality check.

Whether he still loved Freya or regretted the choices that had pulled them apart, if she genuinely didn't want him around anymore, then he had no right to impose.

Freya stared at his message for what felt like an eternity before finally typing a single "Okay" in response.

Seeing her reply hit him with a surge of feelings he couldn't quite name.

Sometimes, he even questioned whether she had ever loved him at all. If she had, why had she remained so perfectly composed since the divorce, so untouched by sorrow?

It was as if none of it had ever mattered to her in the first place.

Over the following two days, Kristian kept sending flowers. And each time, Freya calmly told her assistant to

toss them out.

Ashley had mentioned to that man that Kristian was chasing after Freya again, but she'd left out the part where Freya might still feel something for him. Freya saw no reason to accept the flowers.

Three days slipped by before she even noticed.

The day of the event her grandfather had insisted she attend had finally arrived.

She made no effort to glam herself up-just wore her usual, effortless outfit. Her hair flowed freely down her back, revealing her smooth, luminous forehead.

The gathering was set to begin at four. After wrapping up her work, Freya stepped into the car her grandfather had arranged, complete with a personal driver to ensure she wouldn't skip out.

When she arrived, her entrance barely registered with anyone.

The place was filled with music, drinks, and laughter.

She scanned the room with a quick, quiet glance-roughly a dozen guests, men and women alike, were chatting in cozy clusters, clearly enjoying themselves.

She found the most inconspicuous spot she could and slipped into a seat, steeling herself for what promised to be a long, exhausting evening.
