MainNovelChapter 494:
A few days after their return from Jeucwell, her father informed her that her grandfather wanted to see her.
“If you'd rather not go, I can tell him you're tied up and make up an excuse,” Hugh offered, concerned about
putting her in an uncomfortable position.
Freya declined. “He’s family; | should go see him.” Seeing her resolve, Hugh didn’t speak further.
Before she left, he advised, “No matter what he says, don’t take it to heart. If it becomes too much, just
remember I'm here for you.”
“Okay,” Freya replied.
After getting dressed, she was driven to her grandfather's house. She arrived in the afternoon and saw Vivien
there, evidently trying to win over her grandfather, Miguel Briggs.
Freya approached and respectfully greeted him. “Hi, Grandpa.”
Miguel looked at her with a touch of annoyance. “I thought you'd forgotten you had a grandpa,” he said sharply.
“It’s been over two years since you've reached out toor returned hfor the holidays. Even now, since you
cback, you haven't cto see me.”
“I've just been really busy,” Freya responded calmly.
“Hmph!” Miguel scoffed, clearly not convinced.
Without beating around the bush, Freya asked, “Dad said you wanted to see me. What's the issue?”

“Is that the only reason you'd visit—when there's an issue?” Miguel expressed his displeasure. “Why can’t you
be more like Vivien?”
Freya was silent.

This conversation brought back memories of her twith the Shaw family, how Lionel often said similar things
to others.
It made sense now why people had looked at her with such disdain back then. Those kinds of words were
naturally divisive.
“Since your father began seeing Vivien’s mom, Vivien stops by every few days,” Miguel remarked. “She visits
more in one month than you and Sheila do in an entire year.”
Freya simply listened, showing respect without reacting.
She and Ethel had never had a close bond with Miguel.
He was nothing like Lionel, who, despite his strict exterior, had a soft heart and allowed the youngsters to make
their own choices. Miguel, on the other hand...
He expected complete obedience. He was used to having his orders followed without question.
Whenever that didn’t happen, his temper would flare, as it went against his patriarchal nature.
