She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 A Setup

However, just because Freya wasn’t in the mood to talk didn’t mean Felipe planned on keeping quiet.

Noticing her blatant disregard, he took a long, deliberate stride forward and stepped right into her path. “Can we talk?”

“Talk about what?” Freya wasn’t exactly warm to most people.

“Farrah.” Felipe let the name fall from his lips, his voice edged with urgency.

He had spent the last two weeks scouring the city, yet he hadn’t found so much as a whisper of where Farrah had gone.

Now, Freya grasped the truth behind the old saying–birds of a feather flock together. Kristian was a jerk. So was Felipe.

“I’ve searched everywhere,” Felipe said with a forced composure, though it was clear he was biting down on something bitter. “I just want to know where she is.”

“I don’t know.” Freya’s reply came cold and clipped.

Those three little words tested every ounce of Felipe’s patience. “Don’t try me.”

“What are you going to do about it?” Freya snapped, her frustration bubbling over, with no real outlet. “Hit me?” That shut him up. He stood there, thrown off completely. Did Kristian have a thing for being emotionally steamrolled? Why else would he marry someone this formidable?

Felipe, a fully grown man, stood there at a loss–struck dumb by Freya’s verbal onslaught.

He felt absolutely humiliated.

“I don’t believe in hitting women,” he muttered, trying to claw back some dignity. “I’m only here to ask where Farrah is. She’s my wife. I have the right to know.”

“And then what?” Freya countered smoothly.

“Where is she? Where have you hidden her?” Felipe’s tone hardened. He was sure Freya had something to do with it.

Freya had zero intention of entertaining that. “Farrah is a person, not a misplaced suitcase. I’m not hiding her.” “Then why is she gone?” His temper started to crack.

“You should be asking yourself that,” Freya tossed it right back. “Why’d she leave Jeucwell? Have no clue at all?”

“You pushed her.”

Felipe clung to that belief with maddening persistence.

All he wanted was to know where Farrah was, to talk to her–just to make her understand how dangerous it would be to keep the baby.

Freya was done. She turned on her heel to leave, not even bothering with the restroom anymore.

Felipe blocked her again, his stance solid. “Today, you’re telling me where she is–or else…”

“Or else what?” Freya didn’t flinch.

Farrah needed peace, especially now. If she gave Felipe any information, it would rob Farrah of that completely.

Any shock, any careless move from him could break Farrah again–and Freya wasn’t letting that happen.

“You think I won’t touch you just because you’re a member of the Briggs family?” Felipe suddenly changed tracks, voice colder now, eyes glinting with something new.

He had only learned of her identity that evening. It baffled him–this woman, so fierce and sharp–edged, was the soft–spoken Ethel’s sister?

It was unbelievable.

Freya couldn’t care less about his wounded pride. “Yes.”

And just like that, Felipe nearly boiled over.

But she was right. There was nothing he could do.

He couldn’t outfight her, outwit her, or outmatch her family’s clout.

“If you really want to see her, then wait a few months,” Freya said coolly, remembering Farrah’s mention of a divorce. “She’ll reach out.”

Normally, a man couldn’t file for divorce during pregnancy. But the woman? She could.

And considering Felipe had tried to force Farrah into terminating the pregnancy, the court would be in her favor, no doubt.

Divorce hadn’t even crossed Felipe’s mind. Freya’s words caught him off guard. “She wants to see me?”

“She just needs time–to think, to breathe,” Freya replied, choosing not to spell it out.

That alone made Felipe pause. He assumed, perhaps rightly, that his behavior had been too much of a shock. Maybe she just wasn’t ready yet.

That thought gave him the smallest piece of relief.

If she still wanted to see him eventually, then he could wait.

“Take care of her for now,” Felipe said, his eyes locking onto Freya. “If you need anything, tell me.

“No need,” Freya replied flatly, brushing past him without another glance.

If she were being honest, her only request would have been for him to stay away from Farrah altogether.

But she didn’t say it. She knew it would only trigger another round of arguments. One Kristian was more than enough she didn’t need a second version.

Felipe watched her walk away. Once her figure disappeared down the corridor, he pulled out his phone, scrolling through his old messages with Farrah.

Each one had failed to deliver. She had blocked him.

He couldn’t even figure out how things had spiraled this far.

It hadn’t always been like this.

After leaving, Freya finally made her way to the second–floor restroom in the hotel. As she stood there, she made a quiet decision: unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t step foot in Jeucwell again. Not even for Lionel. She’d stay in touch online.
