“What exactly do you want from me?” she asked, her voice tinged with a mix of frustration and curiosity.
“I want us to remarry,” Kristian replied, his gaze intense and unwavering as he locked eyes with her, searching
for a flicker of hope.
Freya remained silent, her mind reeling. She had given him opportunities in the past to mend their fractures, but
schances, once squandered, were lost forever.
For the remainder of their journey, a heavy silence hung between them. Freya glanced at the GPS, then quietly
grabbed her phone and typed out a quick message to Ethel, sharing Kristian’s haddress.

Hugh, watching her move briskly through the room with determined steps, blinked in confusion. “Sheila, what

“Returning everything Kristian Shaw sent over,” Ethel blurted out, her tone sharp and to the point.
As they spoke, Hugh's expression clouded with concern, prompting Ethel to notice his troubled look.

Ethel was concerned about Mina’s absence, yet fussed over trivialities.
“Hugh, caught off guard by the sudden shift, responded, “What happened to her?”
“Kristian took her away,” she replied, her voice tinged with resignation.
A wave of relief momentarily washed over Hugh, his thoughts briefly drifting back to the lunch gathering that
had preoccupied him all afternoon.
“Don’t fret too much. If Kristian dares harm Freya, he'll answer to me,” he assured her, trying to inject a note of
certainty into his voice.
Ethel frowned, her gaze piercing as if she was seeing Hugh for the first time. “Dad.”
“What is it?” Hugh looked up, his voice laden with a mix of curiosity and concern.
“Do you love Mina less after what happened today?” Ethel’s youthful sensitivity often led her to read deeply into
situations.
Hugh's face hardened, a stern visage replacing his earlier relaxed demeanor. “That’s the most ridiculous thing
