“Not bad,” Freya replied succinctly.
“Not bad, yet you divorced him?” Winslow probed further, his eyebrows arching slightly.
“We just weren't a good match,” Freya explained, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy.
The path they walked was lined with softly swaying flowers, mirroring the ebb and flow of their conversation.
As they continued, Winslow nodded understandingly. He knew Freya well enough to understand that she never
took marriage lightly. He respected her privacy and didn’t press further about her past. Instead, he shifted the
conversation to a more intriguing topic.
“An old friend of mine brought something up the other day,” Winslow said as he walked beside her. “He
mentioned he has a grandson who's the right age to settle down.” His voice carried a hint of amusement.
“According to him, the boy’s not only ridiculously good-looking, but also comes from an excellent family and has
a bright future ahead of him.”
At that, Freya immediately caught on. Her gaze shifted slightly as realization dawned—this was about a potential
arranged marriage. “He wants you to meet him,” Winslow remarked, turning his head to study her reaction.
“What do you think? Are you open to it?”

Winslow noticed the subtle change in her expression, his own demeanor growing more somber. “You know, if |
were younger, | might have insisted you meet him. But over the years, I've cto realize there are some
things better left unforced.”
Freya remained silent, her thoughts drifting to a question she longed to ask—why he had coerced her mother
into an arranged marriage all those years ago. Yet, she hesitated, knowing that dredging up such memories
would only reopen old, painful wounds.
“Mina,” Winslow called out softly, standing by the edge of a serene pond. His voice carried a weight of age and
regret. “I owe your mother an apology.”
Freya turned to him, her heart skipping a beat as she saw the genuine remorse in his eyes.
“If I hadn’t pushed her into that marriage with your father, maybe she would still be with us,” he admitted,
sorrow clear in his voice. “It was my mistake.” His words hung heavily between them.
