"No, no, no!" Ashley blurted, her tone flustered and anxious, desperate not to be mistaken. "This has nothing to

do with me. I'm just a little worried."

"Worried about what?" Freya's voice cut in coolly.

"You mentioned someone was watching us, didn't you?" Ashley often found herself intrigued by the way Freya's

mind worked-how sharp she was. "If you start seeing Kristian again after the divorce, won't that man make a

move on you?"

Freya wasn't the least bit rattled by the

suggestion.

If that man dared make another move, she wouldn't let it slide.

She had chosen not to deal with it before,

consumed with the divorce. But now, things were different.

"It's fine. | can take care of it," Freya answered, unfazed. "I've got something to do, so I'm hanging up. If that

man tries to contact you, keepposted."

"Okay," Ashley replied without hesitation.

Freya ended the call.

As soon as she lowered her phone, Hugh approached her. "Are we heading out?”

"Yes," Freya said simply.

Together, they began making their way back into the hotel to find Lionel, intending to say goodbye now that the

banquet was drawing to a close.

But just as they were about to go in, they spotted Kristian lingering nearby.

He'd clearly been standing there for stime, and the moment he saw Hugh by Freya's side, he stayed put,

not wanting to intrude.

Hugh noticed him and, recalling the hour they'd vanished together, made a guess. "Do you need to talk to him?"

"No," Freya answered coolly.

Hugh didn't press. It wasn't his place to pry into her personal matters.

Freya brushed past Kristian like he was no more than a stranger.

But Kristian reached out and caught her arm. "I need a word with you." "There's nothing to discuss," Freya shot

back.

"There is," Kristian insisted.

Freya lifted her gaze to meet his, bewildered by his sudden persistence. What was he trying to get at?

"Don't you want to talk about that person?" Kristian cright to the point.

"No," Freya answered flatly. She knew better than anyone that Kristian didn't truly want to address the matter. "If

you've got a new plan, just text me."

She then turned to Hugh and said, "Let's go."

With her father standing there, Kristian had no choice but to let her go.

He trailed them inside.

Hugh and Freya exchanged a few polite words with Lionel. Although Lionel was clearly reluctant to see her leave,

he understood that the Shaw family no longer held any sense of hfor her.

As the father and daughter prepared to go, Lionel turned to Kristian and prodded, "Aren't you going to send them

off?"

Kristian remained silent, but followed nonetheless.

Seeing him tag along, Lionel sensed something was off about his demeanor today, but he didn't dwell on it.

Kristian accompanied Freya and Hugh back to their hotel. Hugh had declined at first, but Kristian insisted, and he

finally relented.

Even after arriving, Kristian didn't leave.

Hugh knew it was because of Freya. But since Freya didn't like Kristian, his presence would only irritate her. "You

can stop here. Mina and | can head up ourselves."

"| insist," Kristian replied evenly.

Hugh was frustrated.

How could Kristian be so dense? Freya simply didn't like that gesture!

"Dad, go on ahead," Freya said gently, knowing that if she didn't speak with Kristian now, he would follow her

straight up to her room. "I'll be up in a bit." Hugh hesitated, uneasy. "But..."

"I know what I'm doing." Freya reassured him, her tone composed.

Hugh studied the two of them. Kristian didn't seem out of line, so he chose to trust Freya and left them to it.

Freya walked to the nearby garden, cutting to the chase. "What do you want?" Kristian said nothing. He didn't

know what he wanted.

All he knew was that the thought of her going back to Alerith left a hollow ache in

his chest. He just wanted to see her, speak to her, and be near her.

"If you've got nothing to say, then stop following me," Freya snapped, not in the mood to drag it out.

Her icy tone struck something in him. "Am | really that worthless in your eyes? Not

even as decent as Cyril- the guy you just met?"

She usually disliked giving her number to strangers, but she hadn't hesitated when Cyril asked.

She had even said she preferred Cyril's company to his.

"Yes," Freya replied without hesitation.

For the first time, Kristian truly grasped the meaning of heartache. Watching her expressionless face utter that

word felt like a blade slicing through his ribs.

"Just because of the past... you hatethat much?" He still cared-deeply. He still wanted a place in her heart.

Freya corrected him without a flicker of emotion. "It's not hate. It's simply indifference."

That said everything.

No matter what he did or how much he cared, she would never return those feelings. The moment they divorced,

she had shut him out entirely.

Sometimes, he thought she was too cold-cutting people off the second they made a mistake.

He had thought of countless ways to keep her by his side, but her unwavering distance had crushed every one of

those ideas.

"I'm heading up now," Freya said, noting that he was still staring at her, unmoving.

"If you need to talk about that man, just message me."

Kristian gave a small nod.

Freya sensed something turbulent in him, but she didn't care.

They were divorced. His emotions were no longer her concern.

She turned and walked away.

Kristian could only stand there, watching her silhouette retreat into the hotel and vanish from sight.

He remained there, motionless, until a chilly breeze broke the trance. When he finally checked the time, he

realized an hour had slipped by.

Not far away, Felipe sat in his car, having watched the whole scene. He hadn't intervened-only observed, curious

how long Kristian would stand there like a

statue.

When Kristian finally turned to leave, he glanced once more at the hotel before heading to his car.

Just as he retrieved his keys, Felipe's head popped up from the vehicle beside him. "I thought you were planning

to camp out there all night."

Kristian ignored him, not even bothering to ask why he was there.

He wasn't in the mood.

"All this sulking just because you couldn't win her back?" Felipe teased lightly. He

was feeling better now, knowing Farrah would contact him soon. The tangled emotions from earlier were fading.

He even threw in a jab. "Wantto help you win her over?"

Kristian shot him a glare so icy it could freeze fire-utterly unimpress
