Chapter 797:
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Actually...” Kristian lowered his head, avoiding her eyes, and spoke slowly. “The person who replied to your
message that day—it wasn’t Gerard. It was me.”
Freya blinked, confused for a second, struggling to recall. “Which day?”
“Yesterday.” Kristian pressed his lips together, trying to look especially innocent.
Freya searched her memory. It didn’t take her long to remember the conversation she'd had with Gerard.
“He mentioned our past. | know I let you down. I'm sorry.” Kristian’s mind worked fast. “Freya, | really am sorry.”
As the words left him, his eyes brimmed with tears. A single tear slipped down and landed on his hand.
Freya froze.
Before she could say a word, he leaned into her, burying his face in her embrace, his shoulders shaking as he
cried.
“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...”
He completely broke down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFreya felt his tears soaking into her hand, and all her cool detachment began to fade. She knew the man crying
in front of her wasn’t the memory-holding Kristian—but still, seeing him like this tugged at her heart. This version
of him didn’t owe her anything anymore.
“There's nothing to apologize for. If it’s about hiding things, you've cclean now. That's what matters.” Freya
pulled one hand free and gently patted his shoulder, comforting him like family would. “And if it's about the past,
then even less so.”
Between them, all that remained was a broken marriage. But he'd already done all he could to make it right—
he’d even tried to save her, risking his own life.
In truth, she felt like she owed him more.
Kristian felt the warmth of her hand and slowly began to settle down, though his possessiveness over her only
grew.

“But...” He lifted his head from her shoulder, his gaze laced with guilt as it met hers.
“What is it?”
“I also lied about something else. And this one’s about me.”
He lowered his gaze again, unable to face her. He'd made up his mind. Rather than let Gerard or Ellis drop the
truth, it was safer to give her a half-truth himself. That way, if she found out later, maybe it wouldn't hurt as
much.
Freya stayed composed. “Go ahead.”
“What I'm about to say... you're definitely going to be mad. You might even ignore me.” His voice was steady,
his performance spot on. “Can you promise not to leave me, no matter what?”
“Okay, | promise.” Freya gave her
word. She knew Kristian needed.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Freya asked.
“I'm just... scared you'll be mad.” Kristian’s act was half-real—his emotions genuine enough. “I'm still scared
you'll walk away.”
