She Took The House, The Car, And My Heart

Chapter 249 Kristian, I Forgive You

“Seriously?” A glint flashed in Melvin’s eyes.

Freya gave a gentle nod. “Yes.”

“Alright then.” Melvin snapped right back to his usual self, lifting the contract as he addressed her, “I went through all the paperwork during the break. Everything’s in order–ready for your signature.”

“Thanks for handling that.”

“Don’t mention it. I am your special assistant, after all.”

Freya smiled softly, a quiet warmth blooming inside her chest.

Only then did it dawn on her why Melvin had been so prickly about her bringing on a new assistant.

To him, it probably felt like an interloper had crashed a well–oiled duo. She found it natural, of course–she knew Ellis well. But Melvin didn’t, so his instinct was to put up his guard.

At ten sharp, Ellis arrived at the company.

He’d been expecting to see Freya–but was met with Melvin instead.

Inside the lounge, Melvin eyed Ellis’s striking features and silently thought Ellie really looked like someone Freya would be into. His brow creased slightly, remembering Gerard’s message from yesterday. “I saw Ms. Briggs with a ridiculously handsome guy. Is that your competition?”

Melvin had already told Gerard the whole heartbreak story was made up, but the guy was still convinced–and

“Hi, I’m Melvin Swain, Ms. Briggs’s assistant,” he said, shoving the thought aside and keeping his tone crisp.

“Are you Ellis Lambert?”

“Yes,” Ellis responded with ease.

“Great. Sign here and I’ll walk you through the onboarding,” Melvin said in his usual brisk, professional manner. “After that, I’ll take you to Ms. Briggs.”

“Sounds good,” Ellis replied calmly.

Melvin walked him through the whole process, which didn’t take more than ten minutes, and then they headed off to find Freya.

Chapter 249 Kristian, I Forgive You

She had just wrapped up her latest task and was flipping to her next schedule item when a knock echoed from

the door. “Come in ”

“Ms. Briggs, your friend’s here,” Melvin announced as he entered, Ellis a step behind him.

Freya froze for a moment, surprised, but quickly regained her composure and gave instructions. “Show him around and introduce him to the rest of the secretarial team.”

“Sure,” Melvin replied without hesitation.

“And you handle his assignments,” Freya continued, her tone precise. “He doesn’t have much background in our field, so start him off with the basics.”

Melvin gave a nod. “Understood.”

“You can go now.”

“Alright.”

Melvin turned and led Ellis out.

As they exited, Ellis threw Freya a look loaded with meaning, but she completely missed it.

Thankfully, the day zipped by, and Freya, neck–deep in tasks, managed to keep her emotions shelved for the

time being.

Time moved on again, and before long, Friday arrived.

After giving Melvin the day’s assignments, Freya made her way to Briggs Group for work.

She wasn’t expecting to run into Kristian that day.

But since the Briggs Group was collaborating with Shaw Group, Kristian had free rein to come and go–just like Alan could now walk into Shaw Group’s office without a fuss.

Out in the parking lot, Freya slid into her car with Kristian taking the passenger seat beside her.

She didn’t start the engine. Instead, she turned to him and asked calmly, “What brings you here?*

“It’s been a month.”

“What?”

“It’s been almost a month since Grandpa’s birthday,” Kristian said, his eyes softer than usual. “You should be on your period by now, but you’re not. So… you should pretend to be pregnant.”

His words jerked Freya’s mind back to the present.

The man who had told Ashley to keep an eye on Freya’s signs of pregnancy clearly had an agenda behind it.

Freya’s brows pinched slightly before she replied, “I’ll tell Ashley.”

“Freya,” Kristian’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed down a tangle of unspoken words.

He felt a weight pressing down on him, dreading that Freya might see him as just another stranger.

Even if she lashed out, he’d rather that than this cold, indifferent distance.

Chapter 249 Kristiani Forgive You

Freya met his eyes. The loneliness and confusion behind them hit her with a jolt, stopping her heart for a beat

She pushed past the sensation and asked lightly. “What is it that you want to say?

“I’m sorry… Kristian’s voice was rough, his hair tousled and casting shadows across his eyes, making him look completely wrecked

He finally admitted what he had never wanted to face–that he regretted erything Regretted the choices he made, regretted letting Freya go, regretted not treasuring her when he had the chance.

Freya hesitated, her gaze drifting unfocused for a second.

She didn’t know what she was feeling, Kristian had said those words before, but they had never carried the

same gravity.

Before the divorce, all she’d wanted was to prove him wrong–to force him to see his mistake and regret it.

But now, watching him crumble beneath the weight of his apology, she didn’t feel the triumph she once craved.

Instead, she felt eerily calm. Maybe even a bit sympathetic.

It was tragic, really, that someone as gifted as Kristian had been so utterly lost in matters of the heart. He was
