She Took The House, The Car, And My Heart

Chapter 235 How Did You

Find Out

Josiah just couldn't figure it out-he kept watching Freya in silence, waiting for her to say something

The more he tried to guess, the more ridiculous his thoughts became,

"Let's talk after lunch," Freya murmured, trying not to ruin his appetite. "It's nothing urgent."

"If you don't tell me, I'll just keep overthinking," Josiah said with a sigh, putting on

a dramatic flair. "When something's on my mind, I lose my appetite. Might not even want lunch."

Freya was suddenly at a loss for words. Quite the performer.

She chose not to drag it out any longer and spoke plainly. "It's about Norah."

"Norah?" Josiah's whole demeanor shifted in a heartbeat.

He instantly recalled the conversation he'd had with Kristian a few days ago. Could they possibly be talking

about the same thing?

Freya nodded. "Right."

She got up and pulled some documents from her bag, handing them to Josiah after steadying herself. "She's made quite a few mistakes. Just... please don't be upset when you read through them."

Josiah took the documents and began to read, his expression calm and unreadable the whole time.

He didn't even say a word, just silently flipped through every page.

The more quiet he became, the more anxious Freya felt, fearing he was bottling everything up inside.

"I found out about this a few days ago," Josiah said, his voice steady, not angry- just heavy with a quiet seriousness. "It's my fault and my son's, for not raising her properly. It's brought you far too much trouble."

Freya blinked, caught off guard.

She quickly gathered herself and asked, "How did you find out?"

Until now, only she and Melvin had known. And Melvin would never have gone to Josiah with it.

Josiah looked at her, emotions flickering in his eyes, before he finally said, "Kristian came to see me a few days ago and brought it up."

"Kristian?"

"Yeah."

Freya's thoughts scattered slightly. How had Kristian learned the truth?
