StarNovelChapter 796:
Ellis had half-expected this outcome, but even so, Kristian’s flawless execution was nothing short of remarkable.
Not even his handwriting betrayed him.
By dinner time, Kristian sat beside Freya. The moment he picked up his knife, it slipped and clattered noisily onto
the table.
He looked at Freya with a pitiful gaze, biting his lower lip like a child caught misbehaving. “Freya, my hand hurts.
| can’t use my right hand.”
Ellis shot him a look, eyes brimming with quiet suspicion.
“I'll help you with the knife,” Freya said, completely unsuspecting. He had been writing all afternoon, pressing so
hard that the ink bled through to the third page. Her hand would have hurt just the same.
Kristian picked up a spoon with his left hand. And every the needed to cut something, he turned to Freya.
“Freya, can you helpcut this?” “Freya, | need your help.” “Freya, | want...”
The entire meal, Freya ended up serving him.
And in those moments when she wasn’t looking, Kristian would shoot Ellis a glance—quiet, defiant, and laced
with provocation, as if saying, “You're never going to win.”
Ellis wasn't even remotely upset. He just figured Kristian not only had a gift for playing a part but also a razor-
sharp mind.

If Kristian hadn't hurt Freya before, Ellis might've actually respected him.
“Mr. Lambert,” Kristian set down the spoon in his left hand, his expression smooth as glass, tone just as polished.
“I've already copied the book by hand. Can you forgivenow?”
“Of course,” Ellis replied evenly, no hint of tension in his voice. “Owning up to your faults and fixing them—well,
that makes you a good boy.”
Kristian didn’t take this to heart. He was far too busy staring at Freya with a childlike sparkle, practically
brimming with delight. “Freya, he forgave me. Are you still mad at me?”
“No, I'm not,” Freya answered softly, though her eyes held something a little harder to read. “But remember
what | told you before. No more lies. No more tricks. And you absolutely can’t hurt anyone again. Got it?”

Kristian nodded. “I got it.”
“Good.”
“Freya.”
“There's something else | haven't been honest about.” Kristian’s eyes dimmed just a touch, and he hesitated.
Freya didn’t jump to accuse him. Instead, she asked calmly, “What is it?”
“Can | tell you somewhere else?” He

“As long as you're being truthful, | won't dislike you. | won't even blyou,” Freya said with honesty, hoping it
might help him change. “Con, tell me.”
