MainNovelChapter 562:
He had warned Kristian before. But slessons can’t be taught with words. People only really learn once
they're forced to deal with the consequences.
Kristian didn’t argue. He took every word without flinching, accepting it all.
By the tthey left, it was already midnight.
Although Gerard had gone hearlier that evening, he was still worried about Kristian. So when Zander called,
Gerard didn’t hesitate to cpick them up.
Kristian and Zander took the back seat. From the moment they got in, Kristian seemed drunk, though he wasn’t
—he just didn’t feel like talking and didn’t want to open his eyes.
Gerard didn’t know what was going on. It was the first the'd ever seen Kristian so out of it.
While driving, he glanced in the mirror and asked Zander, “Mr. Loftus, how much did Mr. Shaw drink tonight?”
“Not much.”
“Not much? And he’s like this?” Gerard looked genuinely surprised.
Zander gave Kristian a quick glance, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “It’s not the alcohol—it’s the emotions.”
Gerard got it instantly. Kristian wasn’t drunk. He was just drowning in feelings.

“You guys here on business?” Zander asked.

the branch in Alerith.”
Zander raised an eyebrow, a little taken aback. “Do you know what happened between him and Freya?”

Gerard didn’t answer right away. He checked the rearview mirror, and seeing no objection from Kristian, he went
ahead and told the truth.
“He thought she would always love him no matter what. But she doesn’t believe in getting back with exes,” he
said clearly, with a vivid sort of honesty.
Zander chuckled under his breath.
Kristian was left speechless. The heavy mood he’d been in took a hit from Gerard's blunt honesty.
He couldn't believe the guy never ran out of ways to provoke him.
Half an hour later, Gerard dropped them off at home.
While Zander headed for a shower, Kristian, still slumped on the sofa and clearly not in great spirits, called
Gerard over.
Gerard looked at him with his usual straightforwardness. “What did you mean by what you said in the car?”
“Exactly what it sounded like.”
“Who told you that’s what | was thinking?”
“Aren't you just banking on your good
looks and assuming Ms. Briggs
would RQVES walk ara you?”
Gerard asked plainly, striking the
nerve without hesitation. The content
