Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Freya's Unexpected Agreement

Farrah fell quiet for a beat, but in the end, she chose to take Freya's advice to heart. "Alright."

"Just take it easy and take good care of yourself," Freya said gently, her voice reassuring. "Forget all the Yates family nonsense. Just think about whether you truly want this child and if you're ready to step into motherhood."

"Freya..." Farrah's voice wavered, heavy with emotion.

Freya had always had a soft spot for her female friends, always offering warmth and support. "Yes?"

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it," Freya replied with a soft smile. Then she added, "Once you divorce Felipe, I'll help you find a new place and a different agency. That way, you can finally put some distance between you and the Yates

family."

"Okay. Thanks again," Farrah murmured.

Freya offered a few more words of comfort before hanging up the call.

She knew better than most that pregnant women needed to be surrounded by love-and if Felipe couldn't give that, she certainly would.

Life could be rich and full with family, true friends, and a little self-love. Romance wasn't the only path to

happiness.

Once the call ended, Freya went back to soaking up the sun.

It wasn't until dusk that she finally made her way to the study to organize the pile

of dirt she had gathered on Norah, ensuring it would be neat and easy for Josiah to go through.

By the time she wrapped everything up, it was already past nine.

After wishing Ethel and Hugh a good night, she took a relaxing bath and headed off to bed.

Her days usually ran on a well-kept routine.

The next morning, as Freya shared breakfast with Hugh and Ethel, Hugh's phone rang. It was Vivien.

The gist of the call? She wanted to meet with Hugh and his family.

He put the phone on speaker, and after hearing her request, he instinctively glanced at both Freya and Ethel. "Not today, I've got a few things to take care of."

"But today's Mom's birthday," Vivien's voice came through the speaker, sounding just a touch pitiful. "Are you really not coming?"
