Chapter 415:
But whenever her ncup, there wasn’t a smile waiting for him.
Instead, it stirred up a tight knot of anxiety and heavy questions he couldn't quite answer.
“You don’t even know if you like her? What's going on in your head?” Alan teased, draping an arm around
Kristian’s shoulders and pulling him in close with a conspiratorial lean. “Tellthis—if she were with someone
else, would you feel upset?”
A firm “yes” echoed in Kristian’s mind, immediate and resolute. Not only would he be upset, but he'd also feel

His gaze lingered a moment longer on that final comment, as if the words had struck a chord.
Alan leaned over, trying to sneak a look, but before he could make out anything, Kristian had already locked the
screen.
“If all those questions | asked earlier didn’t clear things up, there's still one last test,” Alan offered, his
determination unwavering. He was on a mission—to pair up this brooding man with Freya.
Kristian, ever the picture of calm, sat upright like a teacher listening to a student’s drunken ramblings. “And
