She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Don't Push

Your Luck

When Freya caught sight of Ethel clutching a baseball bat, glaring daggers at Kristian, she froze in disbelief. "Sheila, what on earth are you doing..."

Ethel flinched, clearly caught off guard. On instinct, she whipped the bat behind her back, stammering, "N-no, it's nothing. Really."

Right then, she began to suspect this was all a carefully laid trap by Kristian, just so Freya would barge in and

assume she was about to take a swing at him. How utterly infuriating!

"She was just showing me how to protect myself in case a stranger breaks in," Kristian piped up, feigning

innocence with those wide, guileless eyes.

Ethel blinked, momentarily at a loss for words.

Freya stepped closer, her voice gentle. "Even if I'm out for work, the bodyguards

will always be around to look after you. You'll never be left alone."

"Thank you." Kristian's tone softened with her. "Freya," he said, glancing up at her.

"Yeah?" she answered, meeting his gaze.

"Can I still think of you as my elder sister?"

Freya looked puzzled, not responding right away.

"Sheila said it's not proper for me to treat you like that, but... I want to. I don't want to think of you as my

aunt."

He didn't voice the rest, but something in his expression told Ethel that she wouldn't like what was left unsaid.

Freya didn't seem to mind. "That's fine."

Watching things escalate far too quickly for her liking, Ethel interjected, "Now he's just like a kid, you are too

old to be his sister."

"Then how should he call me?" Freya asked sincerely.

"I suggested ‘aunt'," Ethel muttered after clearing her throat.

Freya gave her a look. "Seriously?"

"Think about it," Ethel pressed, not backing down. "If he keeps regarding you as his sister, once he recovers, he'll look back and think it was all sweet and touching." She was determined to put a stop to the whole idea. "But if he treats you as his aunt now, once he's back to normal, he'll be mortified."
