Chapter 448:
“Of course.”
“Then why did Farrah bring up Jocelyn right outside the hospital and look at you like you didn’t have a clue?”
Kristian pressed.
That wiped the smirk off Felipe’s face.
Kristian really couldn't help himself—he always knew how to push just the right button.
He hadn't intended to say more, but after a brief pause, he added, “If you can trust other women but not Farrah,
she won't forgive you for it.”
“You're not her. How would you know?” Felipe shot back, a flicker of panic surfacing before he quickly covered it
up.
Kristian’s eyes darkened, distant and cold. “Maybe I've just learned from past mistakes.”
Felipe secretly rolled his eyes.
Done with the conversation, he didn’t bother replying and drove off.
As for Kristian, the thoughts circling in his mind made his expression harden for a moment. He tamped down the

He had barely made it a few steps when he spotted his parents standing nearby.
He stopped in his tracks, whatever emotion had lingered in his eyes vanishing completely.
“Kristian, you've finally caround,” Melinda said with a face full of relief, as though her son had just grown up
overnight.
Isaac’s gaze twinkled with amusement.
Kristian’s hands hung loosely at his sides as he paused briefly before walking toward them with practiced calm.

“Just taking a stroll after dinner,” Melinda answered cheerfully, reaching out to hold his hand. Her voice softened.

For a second, Kristian couldn't find the right words.

Keeping his composure, he said simply, “I was only teasing Felipe.”
“I get it,” Melinda replied, clearly pleased.
Kristian was momentarily silent again, but years of learning to keep a straight face helped him stay collected.
Isaac gave his shoulder a firm pat. “Owning up to your past is a sign you're growing.”
“I've got something to take care of. Ill head inside,” Kristian said, eager to escape the weight of his father’s
words. “You two enjoy your walk.”
With that, he turned and made his way into the house.
Melinda blinked, puzzled. “What could he possibly have to do this late? Isn't Lionel already asleep?”
“He's just embarrassed. We struck a nerve, and now he needs an excuse to duck out,” Isaac replied, serious but
with a chuckle in his tone.
Melinda nodded knowingly. “Makes sense.”
“He’s a grown man now. We should give him space.”
“True.”
