StarNovelChapter 723:
Lawrence added, “You don’t have to worry about him clinging on. From what he told me, if you don’t want
anything from him, he won't bother you again.”
Sometimes, Kristian really was a walking contradiction. In business, he was razor-sharp, a man who never
second-guessed himself. But when it cto love, he swung from one extrto the other. He'd either follow
his own impulses or put someone else’s feelings above all else. And strangely enough, with Freya, both extremes

“Don’t overthink it,” Freya said, unsure how to respond. “When we get home, take a shower and get srest.
I'll call your dad tomorrow to cpick you up.”
Kristian said nothing. He simply lowered his head, quiet and withdrawn.
One thought looped through his mind—his sister didn’t like him.
Freya didn’t know how to handle Kristian anymore. After all, he'd gotten hurt saving her. The least she could do
