Chapter 436:
Once Alan disappeared inside, it was just Freya and Kristian left standing outside.
Neither of them said a word.
With anyone else, the silence might have turned awkward, even stifling. But between Freya and Kristian, there
was a strange, unspoken ease—an odd sort of chemistry that needed no conversation.
Inside the restroom, Alan pulled out his phone and typed out a few messages to Freya.
“Please doa favor and ask Kristian to delete last night's surveillance footage.”
“Just this once, and | swear I'll listen to anything you say after this. Please, Mina?”
He waited patiently.
Freya always replied as soon as she saw his messages.
But one minute passed. Then two. Three... By the tfive had crawled by, there was still nothing from her.
Growing restless, he typed again, “Did you see my messages?”
Freya, meanwhile, wasn’t even glancing at her phone.
She had a habit of switching it to silent mode in the evenings, and tonight was no exception—she hadn't seen a
single message, nor had she checked.

Kristian, noticing how long they’d been idly standing, finally spoke. “Why don’t we sit in the living room for a bit?
Alan might be a while.”
“Okay,” Freya murmured in reply.
They went and sat on the sofa, simply existing beside each other in silence.
Kristian made no effort to spark conversation. He could tell Freya had no interest in small talk and only wanted to
leave—he respected that and didn’t press her. Another five minutes dragged on.
Still, no sign of Alan.

Freya's brows drew together. He was definitely taking too long in there. Just as she reached for her phone to
check on him, the sound of the restroom door creaked open. Alan finally emerged, wearing an unsettled
expression.
Freya looked at him, puzzled. What in the world was going on?
Spotting the two of them seated, Alan felt a sigh rise in his chest.
He realized that Freya must have had her phone on silent again.
“Sorry to interrupt, but we should get going,” Freya said, getting to her feet and addressing Kristian with a polite
but distant tone before walking over to Alan.
Kristian also stood.
But Alan didn’t budge. He stayed rooted in place.
He repeatedly winked at Freya in hopes she’d get the hint and check her phone.
She blinked at him, confused. “What's wrong?”
Alan felt his tongue twist into knots.
