She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 438:

Kristian’s lips curled into a faint smile, a soft sound of amusement escaping as he pulled out his phone and called Gerard, telling him to bring the meal up.

Within minutes, Gerard arrived with the food.

Just as Alan was about to dig in, Kristian smoothly slid the plate of pasta away from him and placed it in front of Freya. “The pasta’s too soft. I figured you wouldn’t like it, Mr. Briggs.”

Alan paused mid-reach, his gaze flicking to Kristian, a mixture of surprise and confusion on his face.

Everyone knew Freya wasn’t picky when it came to food. She’d eat anything. But there was one detail only Alan had ever known—something not even Hugh or Ethel had figured out unless he told them. Freya liked her food soft.

Alan found his eyes drifting toward Freya’s ex-husband.

He couldn’t stop himself from wondering—did Kristian actually love Freya or not? If he did, then why on earth had they split up? But if he didn’t, what was he doing paying attention to such a small detail? Alan had noticed it earlier. The moment Kristian spoke, Freya hesitated, clearly thrown off balance.

Even though she rarely let her feelings show, Alan liked to think of himself as a seasoned observer of human behavior.
