Further Entanglement Wi...

Freya's eyes-clear as a mountain spring and just as deep-locked onto Kristian's. Kristian struggled to read her

mind. "Scared to be caught on record?"

"Hardly, Freya replied, her gaze drifting from his chiseled features to Isaac sitting just behind him. “But before we

kick things off, could you maybe set your phone down, Isaac?"

The request stunned Kristian.

Isaac appeared equally surprised.

Always the cunning strategist, Isaac casually placed his phone aside and rested the newspaper on his lap.

feigning confusion. "What's going on?"

Now, Kristian's contempt for his father deepened.

"The phone hidden under the newspaper," Freya clarified gently. "That message should go to the secretarial

department, correct?"

Her simple observation astonished both men.

Isaac glanced at his son, his eyes silently asking, "What do we do about Freya? She's exceptionally perceptive."

Kristian's gaze responded, "How would | know?" Kristian never anticipated Freya would discover their ploy. He

had always believed in his father's talent for manipulation but hadn't expected Freya to outmaneuver them.

"What?" Isaac projected innocence so convincingly that anyone would believe he was genuinely bewildered.

Melinda, completely puzzled, assumed Freya had made an error, given Isaac's seemingly authentic confusion.

Freya, however, possessed specialized training that made her far from gullible.

"It's nothing," she replied, choosing not to pursue the matter. After exchanging pleasantries with the elders, she

added, "I need to attend to smatters, so I'll be taking my leave now. I'll visit again when tpermits."

Melinda rose from her seat. "I'll walk you out, Freya"

Freya accepted, sensing Melinda likely had something to discuss privately.

As the women departed, everyone watched them leave. Isaac set aside the newspaper and turned to Kristian.

"Freya is too clever. It's fortunate she's divorcing you."

Kristian stared at his father, perplexed. Did he even comprehend what he was saying?

let Freya depart from their lives.

Freya's presence had fulfilled Melinda's longing for a daughter-someone gentle, reasonable, intelligent, and

passionate in both love and disdain.

"Please, feel free to ask," Freya encouraged.

After careful deliberation, Melinda proposed, “I would like to make you my goddaughter."

While Isaac and Lionel had mentioned this idea to provoke Kristian, Melinda harbored this desire genuinely.

Her affection for Freya was deep.

Freya paused, surprised by the proposal. After contemplation, she respectfully declined.

Following the divorce, she wished to eliminate all personal connections with Kristian.

She needed a complete separation.

Melinda felt disappointed but didn't press the matter further.

After bidding Freya farewell, she returned with conflicted emotions. Noticing Kristian still standing in the living

room, she cast him a mildly disapproving glance but ultimately remained silent.

Though Kristian had erred, Melinda couldn't bring herself to admonish him. During her break with Isaac, she had

depended on Kristian for support.

"If you truly cannot relinquish this connection, we could consider relocating to Alerith," Isaac suggested

consolingly. "Then we could make her our goddaughter."

"Freya declined," Melinda sighed, recognizing that Freya's refusal stemmed from her desire to avoid further

entanglement with Kristian.

Nevertheless, Melinda felt profound regret.

Upon hearing this, Kristian experienced unexpected relief. Realizing how distant Freya now lived, he announced

his departure and headed outside.

Once outdoors, he discovered that Freya had already departed.

"Were you hoping to see Freya off?" Liam appeared, placing a reassuring hand on Kristian's shoulder.

Kristian remained silent, noticeably more withdrawn than before.

Liam patted his shoulder supportively. "What's troubling you?"

"Investigate the nightclub where Freya confronted those troublemakers. If you discover any irregularities with the

establishment, report them to the authorities. Ensure those who threatened her face consequences," Kristian

instructed before proceeding to the garage, retrieving a vehicle, and departing.

As the car distanced itself from the house, his mood visibly deteriorated.

He couldn't comprehend his emotional state, but the realization that Freya had departed that evening-bidding

farewell to his parents and grandfather without acknowledging him-left an inexplicable heaviness in his chest.
