NovelGoldChapter 427:
“And | stepped on it by mistake after it fell,” Kristian lied smoothly, his expression as unreadable as ever.
There was a reason behind his fib. Alan was Freya's cousin, and if there was one thing certain about Freya, it was
her fierce loyalty. She was like a lioness when it cto protecting her own.
She wouldn't want the world to know her cousin turned into a one-man wrecking crew when he drank. So,
Kristian instinctively chose to shield the truth.
Gerard, however, wasn't buying a word of it. He began to roam around the room, inspecting the damage like a
detective on the verge of cracking the case.
Kristian’s brows drew together as his usual frosty demeanor returned. “What are you doing?”
“Your tiles seem to be a bit... fragile,” Gerard said, eyeing a scuff on the floor. “The phone falls once and leaves a
mark on the floor. Strange, isn't it?”
Kristian was silent, resisting the urge to sigh. Gerard was growing more annoying by the minute.
After checking the mark and confirming it wasn’t going anywhere, Gerard stood, ready to confront his boss with
the truth.
But the moment his eyes met Kristian’s cold stare, his courage vanished like smoke in the wind.
His tone shifted abruptly, and with a nervous smile, he backpedaled. “It’s getting late. I'll bring you a new phone

“Alright,” Kristian replied flatly, not bothering to mask his indifference.
Gerard wisely retreated without another word.
That night, Kristian slept more soundly than he had in days. Freya, on the other hand, wasn’t particular about her
sleeping arrangements. A change in surroundings didn’t throw her off.
She was up before Alan the next morning.

After rising, she freshened up, ordered breakfast, and only then returned to the bedroom to tidy up.
By then, Alan had begun to stir.
He groaned, rubbing his aching head as he sat up groggily on the sofa. His hair stuck out in every direction as he
blinked at his surroundings. Realizing he was in his own apartment, he relaxed and rubbed his head again,
shrugging it off.
He assumed Toby had brought him back, as usual.
Grabbing clean clothes from his room, he headed to the bathroom. Music started playing as he stepped into the
hot shower, hoping to wash away the fog in his brain.
Meanwhile, Freya noticed he was awake and sat waiting for breakfast to arrive.
Her cousin's lifestyle mirrored hers. After college, both had opted to live alone.
She glanced at the slightly chaotic living room and couldn't help but think of Kristian—his place was always neat,
practically untouched. Whether they were together or not, she had never seen his space in disarray. Last night
had been the only exception.
