NovelGoldChapter 449:
Surrounded by countryside stillness, far from the noise and rush, he felt something settle in him.
With that thought, he picked up his phone.
His eyes landed on Freya's avatar. More often than not, he had the impulse to text her—ask where she was, what
she was doing—but every single time, he put the phone down again without sending a thing.
The next day cswiftly. Freya told Hugh he should attend the evening banquet, then left the hotel earlier than
planned.
She was headed to the Shaw estate.
Not wanting to waste the trip or show up unannounced, she called Lionel ahead of time.
Once he confirmed he was home, she grabbed her gift and made her way over.
Lionel lit up the moment he heard she was coming, beaming with joy. “Quick! Bring out the best dishes, and
have the kitchen whip up sfresh juice!”

At that moment, Kristian was out in the backyard, chatting with Lionel.

After barking orders, Lionel turned to Kristian with a snort. “What are you still doing out here? Go freshen up!”
Kristian blinked. Freshen up?
“Freya doesn’t drop by often. Do you really want her to see you looking like this?” Lionel snapped, clearly

“I'm fine,” Kristian said, making no move to get up.

Lionel wasn’t amused. His tone turned sharp. “It’s my birthday today. Are you seriously going to tickoff?”
Kristian’s expression shifted, tinged with helplessness. He did respect his grandfather. “She preferslike this,
not in a suit.”
“You sure about that?” Lionel’s eyes lit up, curious.
Kristian nodded. “I am.”
During their ttogether, he had mostly worn formal clothes, but there were a couple of rare times he'd gone
casual.
He remembered Freya's reaction—she had genuinely liked it. “Who knew you were hiding this side under all that
serious exterior?” Lionel scoffed.
Then he added with a teasing edge, “Trying to win over my sweet Freya with your looks. How shallow can you
get?”

“Well, that only proves she’s got good taste.”

And with that, Lionel was momentarily silenced.
