She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 189

Chapter 189 Trent Made The Call

Call For Her

For Freya, starting a new relationship meant she had already left the past behind.

No matter what happened in that old relationship, it was water under the bridge.

There was no point digging up something that was already done and dusted.

To her, life only moved forward. Clinging to the past only held back growth and stole her own happiness. Kristian asked, doubting how easily Freya could let go, “It’s easier said than be done. Can you really say you were over your first love when you married me?”

Freya didn’t answer. She wished she had a true first love–but did she, really?

Kristian took her silence as a confession. “If you’ve really moved on, why did you choose the punishment after Liam asked you to call him?”

“Think what you want. I know where I stand,” Freya said, not in the mood to explain.

If she admitted Kristian was her first love, he’d either think she was still stuck in the past or just pretending. Either way, what was the point?

Not wanting to waste another second, Freya used Lionel’s birthday as an excuse. “The banquet’s about to begin. If you keep standing here with me, you’ll miss your grandpa’s celebration.”

“I won’t let you get involved with Cyril,” Kristian said as he walked off, still wondering if Freya had feelings for Cyril.

Once, he’d have sworn she didn’t.

But today, she tried to exchange numbers with Cyril–something she rarely did with strangers.

Freya didn’t respond.

After he left, she leaned against the wall to collect herself. She thought about how marrying Kristian had a lot to do with falling for a handsome face. She wondered if she could ever break that pattern–or if she’d always be one temptation away from a mistake.

Still deep in thought, Freya took out her phone and hesitated before dialing. She needed help making a choice.

Trent’s gentle voice came through. “Mina?”

“I need help deciding something. Someone wants to use my past with Kristian to get back at him. Should I go along with it?” Freya asked, feeling more clear–headed.

Chapter 189 Trent Made The Call For Her

Trent immediately picked up on the tension. “What’s bothering you?”

“I don’t want to get tangled with Kristian again,” Freya said honestly. She always spoke freely with Trent. “Once I’m back, I want Alan to cut off any new deals with Shaw Group,

She didn’t care about the existing ones.

Trent glanced away from his papers and adjusted his glasses. “Do what you think is best. And as for that person–you can still work with Kristian.”

“I can’t,” Freya said. She wanted space, not more ties.

“You can handle anything.” Trent said reassuringly.

If it had been anything else, he might have told her to walk away.

But he knew how much Freya wanted to bring that man down–the one who nearly destroyed their team

If he told her to step back now, she’d regret it.

So Trent made the call for her, knowing she just needed someone to steady her.

Freya felt a lot calmer. “Alright.”

“Did you two argue again?” Trent asked.

“Yeah,” Freya replied, brushing it off.

“There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you,” Trent said as he opened a chat on his laptop.

Freya raised a brow at his formal tone. “What’s that?”

“Captain messaged me a few days ago. He asked me something about you,” Trent said, smiling faintly.

Freya’s eyes widened, She couldn’t keep calm any longer.

The Captain’s attention was never a good thing. “What did he want to know?”

“He asked if the rumors about your marriage and divorce were true,” Trent said. He was curious how the Captain even found out, given his limited access to phone.

Freya let out a breath. “That’s alright. As long as he didn’t ask whether I’ve gone backward in any way.”

Trent stared at the Captain’s last message, a flicker of thought in his eyes. But he chose not to tell her the Captain was coming back. If she knew, she wouldn’t sleep a wink

“I have to go. We’ll talk when I return,” Freya said as the noise outside grew louder.

“Okay,” Trent said gently.

After ending the call, Freya stepped out. The banquet had officially begun.

The birthday celebration flowed smoothly.

Freya greeted Lionel and spent a bit of time with him before sitting down.

Technically, she and Hugh were supposed to sit somewhere else.
