Chapter 251 Kristian Fell Ill

"You're back so quickly?" Liam blinked in surprise. "Didn't Gerard say there was some last-minute issue and

you'd be delayed by an hour?"

Kristian replied with a chill in his voice. "I let others handle it."

Liam didn't ask anything else. He grabbed both Kristian and Gerard and pulled them along. After a bit of buzzing around, it was finally time for the main event- blowing out the candles.

The lights went off. Two candles shaped like the number 28 flickered on the cake.

Liam began singing the birthday song with a grin. Kristian, who usually rushed through this part without much

care, found himself strangely at ease tonight.

He closed his eyes and made a wish. He hoped Freya would stay happy and healthy, free from all worries.

He didn't wish for her to come back to him. All he wanted was her happiness, even if it cost him everything.

Then he opened his eyes and blew out the candles.

It was the most honest wish he'd ever made. And the one he wanted to come true more than anything else.

Cake was cut, gifts were opened. By the time the celebration ended, it was past nine. Liam joked as he helped tidy up. Gerard lent a hand before heading out.

Isaac called Kristian to the rooftop terrace.

The autumn air was crisp and sharp.

Kristian gazed at the busy traffic and glowing city lights below. He shifted his eyes and asked calmly, "Why did you call me up here?"

Isaac raised a brow. "Have you been crying?"

Kristian looked stunned..

He turned away, eyes wandering over the streets. "I don't know what you're talking about."

Isaac asked with a smirk. "Is it because Freya didn't celebrate your birthday with you?"

Kristian remembered her forgiveness.

For some, being forgiven brought peace. But to him, it felt like a tighter chain around his heart.
