She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 450:

Their playful back-and-forth was practically a daily ritual. Still, no matter how often Lionel poked fun, he never truly got mad at Kristian, and Kristian never took any of it to heart.

Kristian noticed Lionel watching him and raised a brow. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m trying to figure out the odds of Freya being drawn in by that face of yours.” Lionel looked genuinely pensive, as though this was a question worthy of deep reflection. “I hear young women these days go for pretty boys. Your cousin’s like that. So are all those girls on TV.”

Kristian might’ve lacked confidence in a lot of areas, but not when it came to his looks. For that, he could only thank his parents—those genes matched up a little too perfectly with Freya’s preferences.

But now, he was ready to throw all that aside just to help his grandson catch Freya’s eye.

Kristian looked genuinely puzzled. “I thought you didn’t like Freya at first. Why the change of heart?” Lionel had always been old-fashioned, even hoping Kristian would marry someone of equal status.
