MainNovelChapter 390:
Gerard nearly dropped the phone. How did he know? Did Melvin have surveillance on him?
Before Gerard could piece it together, Melvin continued, “I have a message for your boss. Pass it on, would you?”
“What is it?” Gerard glanced nervously at Kristian.
Melvin didn’t flinch. “Tell him to give up on Freya. She needs someone who's steady and sincere—someone who
treats her right. Your boss is indecisive and fickle. He's not good enough for her.”
Gerard stayed silent, his mind racing.
Why didn’t Melvin confront Kristian directly?
Melvin had put him in a precarious position!
“And honestly, if he had any decency as an ex-husband, he'd stop hovering around his ex-wife all the time,”
Melvin remarked, his voice laced with annoyance. “Freya won't be fooled by a few days of attention; he can’t just
swoop in and win her back like that.”
Gerard's heart slammed against his ribcage.
Something about Kristian’s frosty attitude truly scared him.

Without waiting for a response, he ended the call with a heartless click. His words kept replaying in Gerard's
mind, slicing deeper each time.
Attempting to defuse the tension, Gerard managed a weak smile and said, “Melvin has a strange sense of
humor, huh? Just try not to take it to heart.”

“He’s never joking!” Freya shot back sharply, her voice tinged with certainty.
Gerard was on the brink of tears, his emotions teetering as if on a cliff's edge.
Freya's actions only compounded his distress, twisting the knife deeper into his already aching heart.
“Tell him after you get out of the car—" Kristian seemed unaffected by the earlier conversation, displaying a
calm that bordered on indifference. He didn’t pick up any hint of possessiveness or romantic affection from
Melvin toward Freya, nor did he sense any animosity that might cfrom a love rival.
To him, Melvin’s stance was that of a person merely defending a friend. Gerard, caught off guard, faltered.
“What?”
Kristian’s voice was steady, almost detached. “If he’s never even been in a relationship, then why is he trying to
fake one with someone else?” Lifting his eyelids slowly, his gaze was deep, his eyes a well of secrets. “Imagine
how awkward it would be if his act were to fall apart.”
Freya didn’t say a word, her lips pressed into a thin line.
