Chapter 446:
If he had just had a bit more courage back then, maybe his daughter would've found sreal happiness here.
Maybe none of those tangled affairs would've happened at all.
He thought about replying with a simple “okay,” but assumed Freya had already gone to sleep. He placed the
phone aside and forced himself to close his eyes.
Elsewhere, Kristian was still wide awake.
After confirming everything with the hotel, he was about to wind down when Felipe intercepted him.
With one hand shoved into his pocket and the other dangling a set of car keys, Felipe said, “Let's go have a
drink.”
“No,” Kristian answered curtly.
But Felipe didn’t wait for his response. Clearly agitated, he dragged Kristian to the car anyway.
Kristian opened his mouth to mention the next day's schedule, but Felipe cut him off. “Don’t use your grandpa’s

“If your ex-wife hadn't shipped her off, would | be in this mess?” Felipe shot back, clearly fuming.
Kristian rested his arm on the window and replied in a level tone, “You're the one who lost her. Don’t pin it on
anyone else.”
Felipe’s jaw clenched, ready to argue.
Kristian didn’t wait. “Pushing her to have an abortion? That's quite the move.”
“Oh, like you're any better? You dumped your wife to chase after your first love. That's more impressive, isn’t it?”
Felipe sneered, emotions spilling over.
Kristian’s expression chilled.

“And what's that worth?” Kristian’s eyes turned cold, his tone clipped.
