She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Set Up A Meeting With Miguel Brig…

Damon noticed Kristian was genuinely upset, as he decided not to rub alt in the wound.

They walked down the hallway. As they turned the corner toward the entertainment area, they spotted Fores and Trent sitting together in the lounge, chatting casually

Kristian came to a stop. His eyes locked on Freya. She looked calm and relaxed, facing Trent

“What are you staring at?” Damon followed his gaze, then smirked. “Didn’t think Trent was the type to shore up at a singles mixer.”

“How did you manage to win over Patti?” Kristian asked out of nowhere.

Damon had a feeling Kristian was just trying to push his buttons.

Kristian said suddenly, “Oh right. You’re still hung up on her. My bad. Haven’t actually won her over yet.”

Damon clenched his fists. He felt like punching him.

Just as he was about to fire back that Kristian was also still single, he saw him heading straight toward Trent Damon frowned, unsure what Kristian was up to, but he followed anyway.

Freya and Trent were still talking about nothing important when Freya sensed someone approaching She turned slightly and saw Kristian standing right beside her.

Her brows drew together the moment she saw him.

Before she could speak, Kristian took her hand and started walking toward the lawn.

“What are you doing?” she asked, startled.

Trent started to rise, but Damon caught Kristian’s subtle signal and quickly pulled Trent into conversation.

Kristian didn’t say a word. He just held Freya’s hand tightly and led her through the room like the crowd didn’t

exist.

People turned to look. Whispers followed.

Everyone knew who he was–even if they hadn’t met him, they had seen his photos.

He had the reputation of being aloof and distant. Seeing him at a singles event, holding a woman’s hand and walking out? That shocked everyone.

Freya thought about shaking him off. But with all those eyes on her, she didn’t want to make a scene.

Kristian knew her well enough to count on that. That’s why he led her outside, where no one was watching.

Once they reached the lawn, just as Freya moved to pull away, Kristian let go

“Are you on a date with Trent?” he asked, his voice low and a little downcast

Freya didn’t want to talk. “That’s none of your business.”

“You can’t be with him right now. If you are, that man won’t come after you! Kostas sad qudy, the wests

rushing out.

He knew the real target was him. But based on how Freya reacted before, she deadly had a score to sette wr

that man too.

Freya’s mind clouded over.

“So you think I have no choice but to team up with you to catch him?” she asked

“No.”

“Then what are you trying to say?”

Kristian had no answer.

He didn’t know how to close the distance between them or even how to look her in the eye

But he didn’t want to let her go.

Seeing her sitting with Trent made him jealous. He wished he could sit beside her again, like before, and asc what they were talking about.

But he didn’t have that right anymore.

The only thread left between them was the man behind Ashley.

“Why are you here?” Kristian asked instead of replying.

Freya didn’t answer. She looked calm, but her silence was cold and distant.

Kristian felt suffocated.

Still, even now, he didn’t want to walk away.

Something about being near her made his heart settle, even if it hurt. It was better than nothing

They stood there in silence.

After what felt like ages, Freya turned and started to leave without a word.

Kristian grabbed her arm.

“What do you even want from me?” she asked, confused and tired.

Kristian didn’t let go. His eyes stayed locked on hers. “You still haven’t answered my question.”

“Dating,” Freya said bluntly.

“With Trent?”

“I don’t owe you an explanation.”

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll show up at your place every day to propose. You can shut the door, but eventually, all of Alerith will know,” Kristian blurted.

Treya turned to face him fully. She couldn’t believe she hadn’t seen just how shameless he could be

Seeing the rejection in her eyes made something twist in his chest, but he still didn’t let go.

“Not with Trent,” Freya said, tired of the back–and–forth. “My grandpa ask me to come here.”

Kristian’s brows drew together.

Before he could say anything else, she calmly pulled his hand off with her other hand.

She wasn’t angry. Her voice was steady. “I don’t know what game you’re playing. If this is just to fool that man, there’s no need. I’ll have Ashley lie to him.”
