Chapter 368:
Liam clicked his tongue in exasperation. Kristian was seriously blowing it.
Lionel looked puzzled. “What do you mean by pushy?”
“He's trying to pressure her into remarrying and even locked her in his house like he owns her,” Liam explained,
laying it out clearly. “If he keeps this up, she’s going to cut ties for good.”
Lionel’s expression darkened. He wouldn't allow it.
“Grandpa, do you want Freya back in the family?” Liam asked, eyes gleaming with mischief.
Lionel shot him a look that said everything. Of course he did. He thought about it all the time.
“Then help out. Keep Kristian so busy he won't have tto mess with her,” Liam suggested, casually fiddling
with his phone as a plan started to form.
Lionel was on board immediately. He wanted Freya back—but more than that, he wanted her to be happy.

Right then, a knock cat the door.
Since it was just the two of them in the house, it was clear who it had to be.
He walked over and opened the door, finding Freya looking calm as ever, cool and composed. His voice cout
clipped and icy. “What is it?”
“I want to go home. Open the door,” Freya said bluntly. She'd already tried. It was locked.
Kristian’s hands curled into fists, and his voice dropped several octaves. “Do you really not want to stay with
me?”
Freya found the question absurd. Did he really have to ask?
“No woman wants to stick around with her ex-husband after a divorce.”
“You're just trying to rileup.”
Kristian bristled at the word “ex-husband.”

“Why aren’t you answering?” Freya asked, pressing him.
Though still unsure of where she was going with this, Kristian replied, “Yes.”

“What three challenges?” Kristian didn’t rush to accept. After the month he’d just spent trying to figure Freya
out, he knew better than to leap without thinking.
