Chapter 707:
Freya remained completely unaware.
If Ethan accidentally let something slip, who knew how she’d react, how far she’d pull away afterward. Freya saw
him end the call and assumed the conversation was over. She didn’t give it a second thought.
Ellis was relieved the call hadn’t been on speaker. If Freya had overheard, she might've started to suspect
something.
After dinner, Freya went home.
Ellis stayed behind on the sofa, running through every possibility in his head, searching for sway—any way
—to win her over. At this rate, he could spend a lifettrying and still never break through.
Freya was just too oblivious when it cto feelings.
She hadn’t thought twice about it. Once she got home, she went straight to bed. She had considered calling
Lawrence to ask about Kristian, but since she'd already asked Jacob to look into it, she decided to leave it be.

“I'm sorry,” Ashley said, her voice earnest. “I'm sorry for everything I did wrong in the past.”
She owed Freya too much.
Even if she hadn't had a choice back then, what she’d done still caused Freya pain. And yet Freya had met her
mistakes with compassion. On Butterfly Island, Freya had even protected her.
“It’s all in the past now.” Once Freya learned that Brenda had forced Ashley’s hand, all the resentment inside her
faded away.
Ashley bit her lower lip, clearly torn, but eventually asked, “Did... did something happen to Kristian?”
“No,” Freya said simply, choosing not to reveal the truth.
Ashley had wanted to ask more, but worried that Freya might take it the wrong way, she kept her thoughts to
herself and quietly finished the meal.
After dinner, Ashley left Alerith.
Freya didn’t see her off.
