Chapter 808:
Kristian, keeping to Freya's instructions, kept his usual poker face.
“Nothing.”
“It’s Freya, isn’t it?” Lionel said suddenly, unable to hold it in.
Kristian looked at him again, eyes narrowing just slightly.
Lionel reached for the coffee pot, planning to ease into conversation.
But Kristian moved faster, pouring the coffee with the kind of fluidity that startled even himself. It wasn’t
something he thought about—it was muscle memory, pure and simple.
Lionel’s eyes clouded with something complicated, and a heaviness settled in his chest.
“Kristian,” he said after a thoughtful pause, this twith more weight, “if you can’t win Freya back, maybe it's
best to let her go. You know what she’s like—once her mind’s made up, she won't change it. She’s not the type
to go back, especially after everything that happened.”
Most women might have let it go. But Freya was wired differently.

happened in the past.”
Lionel felt a flicker of hope, followed by a quiet sigh. If Freya had forgiven Kristian, it probably meant she was

“I know,” Kristian agreed with a nod.

Lionel paused, his eyes catching the light, emotions stirring beneath the surface.
“I'm sorry,” Kristian said at last, the weight of Lionel’s concern finally pressing on him. “I was out of line earlier.”
“If you know you were out of line, then go apologize to your mom,” Lionel said, his spirit visibly lifted, a faint
smile curling at his lips. “If she worries too much, your dad’s definitely coming after you.”
Kristian was thrown off by his attitude. This family’s way of showing love was truly perplexing.
Still, despite the strangeness, it warmed him. Not the swarmth he felt with Freya—this was different. This
warmth held him up like a pillar beneath everything else.
Once Lionel had gone, Kristian dutifully went to see Melinda. Just as Freya told him, he masked his personality
well and casually offered a made-up excuse for feeling off.
