“You know,” Liam began, deliberately poking the hornet’s nest, “Cyril and Freya actually make a pretty decent
pair. They're close in age.”
Kristian didn’t say a word.
Liam leaned closer, clearly enjoying himself. “Don’t you think?”
“If you're this idle, why not help run the company?” Kristian’s voice turned icy, his patience running thin. “Or
better yet, shut up.”
“Touchy, aren’t you? You should be glad if Cyril ends up with her,” Liam teased, totally unfazed. “Freya would be
happy, and Mom, Dad, and Grandpa would finally get off your back. You'd get speace for once. Doesn't that

“Freya and | need to swing by my family’s house to pick something up,” Kristian said, his voice cold and distant,
making it crystal clear he didn’t welcfollow-up questions. “Wanna cwith us, or would you rather chat
later?”
Cyril hesitated. He was tempted to tag along, but something in Kristian’s icy tone told him not to push it.
“We'll catch up later,” he said quickly.
“Then we'll be off,” Kristian replied flatly. He almost reached for Freya's hand but stopped himself just in time,
remembering—she wasn’t his wife anymore.
Freya followed Kristian, convinced they were headed to his family’s residence.

Curiosity gnawed at him—what could Kristian possibly have said to make Freya willingly depart with him,
abruptly ending her discussion with Cyril?
