She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 427:

“And I stepped on it by mistake after it fell,” Kristian lied smoothly, his expression as unreadable as ever.

There was a reason behind his fib. Alan was Freya’s cousin, and if there was one thing certain about Freya, it was her fierce loyalty. She was like a lioness when it came to protecting her own.

She wouldn’t want the world to know her cousin turned into a one-man wrecking crew when he drank. So, Kristian instinctively chose to shield the truth.

Gerard, however, wasn’t buying a word of it. He began to roam around the room, inspecting the damage like a detective on the verge of cracking the case.

Kristian’s brows drew together as his usual frosty demeanor returned. “What are you doing?”

“Your tiles seem to be a bit… fragile,” Gerard said, eyeing a scuff on the floor. “The phone falls once and leaves a mark on the floor. Strange, isn’t it?”

Kristian was silent, resisting the urge to sigh. Gerard was growing more annoying by the minute.
