NovelOnlineChapter 997: "I've got something important to tell you," Felipe said, dropping himself onto the couch like it was his own, still wincing from lingering aches. "Something you definitely don't know yet." Kristian kept his cool as always, handing over a glass of water without much expression. "What is it?” "It's about Freya," Felipe said, his voice laced with tic suspense.
Kristian's hand froze for a second. Swater sloshed over the rim and spilled onto Felipe's lap. Felipe shot up like he'd been electrocuted. "Hey! What the hell was that for?" Kristian didn't answer. He simply set the glass on the table, though Felipe's words had clearly stirred something deep beneath his surface.

"Nothing," Kristian said, like it was no big deal. "Aren't you the one who said you had something to tellabout Freya? So what's going on with her?" "Do you... still love her?" "Yes." "Then you're not going to like what I'm about to say. She's got a boyfriend now." Kristian's stomach twisted, but all he said was, "I know." He didn't just know. He had seen it with his own two eyes-up close and personal.
Felipe blinked, thrown off. "Wait, what? How do you know?" "That's none of your business.” Kristian wasn't in the mood to explain anything and turned to head back to his study.
"Hold on," Felipe called after him.
Kristian paused, waiting.
"How did you even manage to live at her apartment when she clearly wasn't a fan of you?" Felipe asked, genuinely curious. "She should've been icy cold to you." Kristian's throat tightened, a complex storm brewing in his gaze. He wished the tthey shared had never existed at all.
Sure, there had been moments of joy. But he'd caused too many ripples in her life. Too much trouble. "Why are you just standing there like a statue?" Felipe asked, growing more puzzled by the second. Kristian deflected. "Did you see her?" "Not only did I see her," Felipe said, bristling. "I actually got into a fight with her boyfriend." Kristian gave him a confused look. A fight? With Ellis? "Bold move," he muttered, sarcasm curling around his words.
"What's that supposed to mean?” Felipe grumbled, still sore all over. "You don't know how crafty that guy is. At first, he acted like sfreeloader living off Freya. But during the fight? Every punch landed harder than the last." That man was too sly. Way too much.
"But," Felipe continued, sharing his suspicions, "from the way he acts around her, it really her coat just rides like he's coattails. Maybe he's with her for her money. But he's handsand slick, so Freya's obviously into him."
"You're overthinking it," Kristian said flatly, clearly unimpressed. He m recalled those moments between Ellis and Freya, the things Ellis had said to her. Someone who could say things like that? No way he was in it for the cash. Besides, he was the heir to the Lambert Group.
