Chapter 257 Your Mentor Did The Right Thing

Freya found herself utterly speechless.

She had always known Natasha was easy-going, but she had never imagined the woman could be this incessantly talkative in person. Was she always this annoyingly forward with people?

"What's wrong? You look like I've frightened you or something," Natasha asked, narrowing her eyes when she

noticed Freya wasn't saying a word.

"I don't need companionship, and I certainly don't need a shoulder to cry on," Freya replied coolly, her gaze drifting away with pointed disinterest. "If there's nothing else, I'd like you to leave."

Natasha leaned in, closing the distance with a sigh. "Freya, don't be so cold to me."

Freya felt a migraine pulsing behind her eyes.

If she hadn't done such a good job hiding herself all this time, she would've suspected Natasha had already figured her out.

Are you scared Kristian won't show up and you'll end up in danger?" Natasha asked, as if they were old friends with years of history.

Freya stayed silent.

Natasha carried on without missing a beat, "Don't worry. He'll come. We brought you here today for a reason -we're sure he cares. Come on. Give me a smile, will you?"

Freya didn't respond.

"Even if you won't think of yourself, at least think about the little one you're carrying. Stress isn't good for her." Freya's brows furrowed as she turned sharply to her. "How do you know I'm pregnant?"

Despite the confrontation, all she could think was how badly she wanted Natasha

to just leave. Pretending all the time was downright exhausting.

"I know everything about you. Just hand me a computer, and I can dig up

whatever you want," Natasha said, full of smug pride. Seeing Freya finally speak, she lit up with renewed energy.

"Is that so?" Freya said evenly, beginning to bait the trap.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, ask me anything. I guarantee I can find the answer," Natasha declared, brimming with confidence.

Freya's expression didn't change. "How long are you going to live?" she asked.
