She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 381:

While Melvin had taken over most of the workload, Freya, as the owner of Anita International, still had matters that required her personal touch.

As for Kristian, after their last encounter at the shooting club, he seemed to vanish into thin air, as if honoring his vow not to disturb Freya until he had surpassed her in shooting. Time marched on, and before long, the 10th arrived.

Ethel, Freya, and Hugh were all present. As they kept an eye on the time, Hugh led his daughters to the restaurant he had reserved for the occasion.
