StarNovelChapter 310:
Kristian’s grip on his wine glass grew chillingly tight.
Oblivious to the looming storm, Gerard continued, “Mr. Seymour—he’s always so gentle and patient with Ms.
Briggs, always eager to see things from her angle. That, I think, is the very essence of true love.”
Kristian remained silent, his response unreadable.
Frozen in the cool air, he rose, setting his wine glass on the table with a soft clink, casting a final, indifferent
glance at the figure sprawled on the sofa.
Seizing the only blanket from the sofa, Kristian ascended the stairs with a dismissive, frosty air, leaving Gerard
behind without a second look.
Cmorning, Gerard awoke, curled up on the sofa, the chill of the room biting at his skin.
Struggling to piece together the fragmented memories of the night before, his mind drew a blank after drinking
with Kristian.
What exactly had transpired? And why was he waking up here, in this unwelcoming chill?
“Wake up already, and clean yourself up,” Kristian instructed briskly, standing near him, dressed impeccably in a
tailored black suit, his frigid aura sharper than ever. “After you're done, cand report what you discovered
last night.”

Gerard sat up, dazed and confused.
As he splashed cold water on his face, Gerard's mind spun relentlessly, searching for any clue about how he had
possibly angered Kristian.
Sure, Kristian was notoriously aloof and hard to please, but he'd never made Gerard sleep on the sofa before—
last night had been an unfortunate first.
Once he'd finished freshening up, Gerard approached cautiously and spoke up. “Did | do something wrong?”
“No,” Kristian answered curtly, his attention fully devoted to his breakfast, an indifferent chill radiating from him.
Gerard hesitated, awkwardly gripping a glass of milk. “You sure?”
“No,” Kristian repeated flatly, lifting his eyes with icy calmness. Then he ruthlessly added, “You only said that |
don’t measure up to Freya's standards.”
Gerard went rigid, his entire body frozen mid-motion.
“And you also said | have a philistine nature,” Kristian concluded coldly.
“Sir, this must be a misunderstanding,” Gerard pleaded, his stomach knotting with dread for the difficult days
looming ahead. “I truly believe you and Ms. Briggs belong together—a perfect match.”
Kristian deliberately set down his fork, glancing up from his breakfast with measured calm. “Yet you suggested
Trent would suit her better, didn’t you?”
Gerard stood frozen in shock.
