Chapter 553:
“Actually, | wanted to invite you somewhere else, more than just for coffee.” Freya stirred her cup, her voice
calm.
Norah grinned, her vibe easygoing and open, seemingly missing the tension beneath Freya’s words. “If it's you
inviting, I'm in.”
“Really?” Freya asked.
“Of course,” Norah said with a casual shrug. “Still haven't toldwhy we're here, though.”
“A few days back, when | saw Farrah, she mentioned wanting to treat you to dinner,” Freya said lightly. “She still
hasn't properly thanked you for helping her out that day.”
“That was no big deal,” Norah laughed. “No need for all the fuss.”
“Maybe not to you, but for her, it meant saving her child.” Freya kept the tone light. “She’s cooking for you
tonight at her place—made quite a spread.”

“There's no point pretending, Miss Russell,” Freya said, her voice steady.

Norah's forehead creased. “So you broughthere today to accuseof tipping off Felipe?”
“Yes,” Freya didn’t dance around it.
“I swear | didn’t. Whoever said that—cut them off,” Norah insisted, her manner still calm. “I don’t even know
where Farrah is. And even if | did, | wouldn't tell Felipe. I've got nothing against her.”
“You might not have anything against her, but you do against me,” Freya said, quietly admiring the performance.
“You've got a thing for Kristian, don’t you?”
Norah's confusion only deepened. “Me? Into Kristian? If that were true, why would | turn down my grandpa’s
offer to arrange a marriage with him?”
“Norah Russell,” Freya said calmly.
Norah met her gaze.
“It's just us here. No point pretending
anymore. The fact tame

Freya caught her wrist, firm but not harsh. “Sit. We're not done.”
Norah furrowed her brows at her, clearly annoyed.
