Chapter 274 He' Protected

Someone He Cares About

Isaac was utterly speechless.

His mind kept looping back to how Kristian always reacted whenever he was reprimanded.

Every time, without fail, Kristian would change the subject, sidestep the

confrontation with the subtlety of a seasoned diplomat.

Then, wordlessly, Isaac set the newspaper on the side table, rose from his seat, and said, "Let me get you some fruit."

"Get out of here," Lionel said dismissively.

Without protest, Isaac turned and walked off, phone in hand.

He stepped into the backyard and dialed Freya's number. His voice, as ever, was calm and composed, laced with quiet authority. "Hello, Freya."

"Hello, Isaac."

"I'm alone right now. Melinda's not with me." Isaac had always treated Freya with kindness.

She had so much bottled inside her, aching to be spoken aloud, but at that moment, the words simply wouldn't come.

Isaac and Melinda were genuinely kind people. If she were to bring them such grim news, wouldn't that be too cruel?

"What's wrong?" Isaac's voice filtered through again, steady and gentle.

"Could I meet with you?" Her voice trembled with hesitation. “This isn't something I can explain over the phone."

Isaac was a perceptive man. The tone of her voice, the phrasing-he pieced it together quickly. "Did something happen to Kristian?"

At those words, a knot rose in Freya's throat.

She couldn't even understand why that one sentence hit her so hard.

Struggling to keep her composure, she managed a faint, "Yes."

"Where are you?"

"In Jeucwell."
