Chapter 750:

“Don’t bother, then,” Kristian said stiffly, his eyes clouded darker than a stormy sea, nearly impossible to read. When he realized Freya truly hadn’t made the call, he turned on his heel and disappeared back into his room, shutting himself away without so much as a glance back.

Freya couldn’t help but wonder at his reaction. She itched to grab her phone and fire off a message to Isaac, asking what on earth he had said to him, but just as her fingers hovered over the screen, Isaac’s name flashed across it, calling her instead.

“Kristian went back to his room, didn’t he?” Isaac wasted no time, his voice cutting straight to the heart of it.

“He did!” Freya cast a wary glance around the living room. For a split second, she genuinely wondered if Isaac had bugged the place.

“I’ll swing by to see him after the company’s annual party in a couple of days,” Isaac told her, his voice steady. “He’s really not the same kid he used to be.”

Freya agreed easily, “Alright. Just let me know when you’re coming and I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
