MainNovelChapter 568:
When Freya and Melvin arrived, they found only Alan, Ethel, Hugh, Trent, and Frederick there.
Freya was genuinely surprised.
“Why are you all here?” she asked, eyes narrowing at Alan. This was supposed to be a simple company retreat.
So why were Trent and Frederick here too?
Trent and Frederick exchanged a glance, and Trent spoke first. “Alan invited us.”
Freya turned to Alan, waiting for an explanation.
“The company retreat was just a cover,” Alan admitted, dressed casually and looking annoyingly handsome.
“Sheila and Uncle Hugh noticed you haven't been yourself lately. They figured this would cheer you up.”
They all knew her too well. If they'd told her directly to take a break, she would've brushed it off with a stoic “I'm
fine.” But no one cout of a divorce untouched.
They hadn't brought it up earlier because the timing wasn’t right. She wouldn’t have been in the mood anyway.
Now felt like the right time.
“Mina, since you're here, might as well enjoy yourself today,” Ethel chimed in.
“Mina, you really need to loosen up,” Hugh added.
“Freya, your sister rarely gets this sentimental about you. Don’t let her down,” Frederick teased.

Ethel shot back, “Frederick, what's that supposed to mean?”
“Exactly what it sounds like!” Frederick grinned.
Soon, the two were at it, throwing playful jabs and laughing as they bickered like old friends.

Hugh and Alan exchanged knowing looks and quietly stepped aside.
“I'll check on Sheila. You guys carry on,” Hugh said.
“Okay,” the rest replied.
Hugh left without a fuss.
He'd considered taking Freya's assistant with him but decided against it.
She clearly had a close bond with him.
“Let's go. There's a flower field nearby,” Trent suggested. “The view’s nice, and there's a gazebo where we can
rest.”
Everyone agreed and followed along.
At first, Trent and Alan chatted with Freya, cracking a few jokes and sharing mundane stories.
Little by little, she let herself relax.
Eventually, the attention shifted to Melvin, who hadn't uttered a single word since they arrived.
