StarNovelChapter 795:
Kristian’s eyes clouded over. Thoughtful? He saw straight through Ellis. That man’s motives were transparent as
glass. Ellis was trying to edge him out of the picture—trying to keep Freya all to himself.
“Go apologize to Ellis,” Freya said, noticing the discontent flicker across Kristian’s expression. “You made up a lie
and accused him last night, and he didn’t even call you out for it.”
But the second she said it, Freya paused. If Ellis had known Kristian was faking, why hadn't he exposed him?
The thought reminded her of Ellis’s repeated warnings to pay attention to the little things.
“Okay,” Kristian agreed without resistance.
Freya studied him with a careful gaze. Aside from the subtle shifts in his personality, he didn't seem much
different. With that, she brought him to Ellis.
Neither she nor Ellis could have known just how far Kristian had taken his performance. Especially around Freya,
he never let his act slip. When they arrived at Ellis’'s home, Kristian stood in place like a well-behaved child.
Ellis raised an eyebrow, his deep voice calm and steady. “What's all this?”
“I'm sorry, Mr. Lambert,” Kristian said, the apology reluctant in spirit, though his expression gave nothing away.

Ellis’s lips twitched into the barest hint of a smile. “You mean it?”
Freya's brows knit together. What was Ellis getting at now?
“Yes,” Kristian nodded.
“Copy this book by hand,” Ellis said, handing over a thin book. “Once it’s finished, I'll consider forgiving you.”

Kristian didn’t know how to respond. This man really wouldn't make things easy.
“Captain,” Freya said softly, her brows furrowing deeper. “What are you doing?”
“You said he’s been acting a little off, right?” Ellis replied, his tone completely serious. “Let him copy that book.
It's a classic guide that covers many principles of etiquette. He might actually learn something.”
An adult's handwriting was nothing like a child's. Ellis wanted to see how Kristian would manage to cover up this
time.
Freya pressed her lips together. “Can’t we just let it go?”
“A spoken apology doesn’t leave a mark. It costs nothing,” Ellis said sincerely. “Making him write something
down—he’ll remember it.”
Freya took a moment to mull it over. A simple apology really didn’t fix much. In just a matter of days, Kristian
had gone from an innocent boy to someone who lied and wrongly accused others. He had really veered off
course.
“Really?” Kristian didn’t let a single crack show in his act.
Ellis gave a subtle nod.
