Chapter 795:

Kristian’s eyes clouded over. Thoughtful? He saw straight through Ellis. That man’s motives were transparent as glass. Ellis was trying to edge him out of the picture—trying to keep Freya all to himself.

“Go apologize to Ellis,” Freya said, noticing the discontent flicker across Kristian’s expression. “You made up a lie and accused him last night, and he didn’t even call you out for it.”

The thought reminded her of Ellis’s repeated warnings to pay attention to the little things.

Freya studied him with a careful gaze. Aside from the subtle shifts in his personality, he didn’t seem much different. With that, she brought him to Ellis.
