She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 Soothing Him Like A Mother Would A…

“What?” Freya blinked, certain she’d misheard.

“When we were about to leave just now, you held my hand and showed you care for me, Kristian darified softly, a shy flush colored his cheeks.

Freya stared, caught off guard. Was he really this happy just because she’d asked a few simple questions?

Kristian had been quietly watching her every reaction. Noticing her silence, he gently called, “Freya.”

“Yeah?”

“I’ve never seen you smile before.”

“I’m just not the smiley type.”

“No one hates smiling,” Kristian said with quiet conviction. “Unless they’re unhappy… or don’t have anything to

smile about.”

*Freya frowned slightly, unsure what was running through his head. “Where’d you get that nonsense from?”

“It’s not nonsense,” he replied, sounding every bit like a child explaining something serious. “I want to make you happy.”

Freya didn’t say anything. There was no point continuing the conversation. He still had the mind of a child.

Freya brought Kristian to the hospital. When the doctor used a sterile needle to lance the large blister and disinfect the wound, Kristian’s face twisted in pain.

Freya looked at him, puzzled.

Wasn’t he supposed to have a high tolerance for pain?

In that moment, she forgot that mentally, Kristian was only like a five–year–old kid. Looking at him now, all she

saw was a grown man.

If he really had been a little boy, she might’ve instinctively scooped him into her arms to comfort him without a second thought. But appearances shape instinct more than we realize.

“Does it hurt?” the doctor asked.

Kristian was about to nod, but when he caught Freya’s gaze, he quickly shook his head instead. “No, it doesn’t.”

“There’s no shame in saying it hurts,” the doctor said as he moved to pop another blister. Watching Kristian stiffen, he chuckled and added teasingly, “Say it hurts, and maybe your girlfriend will fuss over you and kiss it

better.”

“Girlfriend?” The term was completely foreign to Kristian.

Sitting nearby, Freya clarified, “I’m his elder sister.”

The doctor shot them a peculiar look.

Elder sister? That young?

He glanced at them again, then something seemed to click. His tone turned deliberately casual. “You can still cry in your sister’s arms, right?”

From his perspective, these two were both strikingly attractive and had such effortless chemistry–it was hard

not to assume they were a couple.

It seemed like she was annoyed with her boyfriend. He’d seen this kind of situation before.

Kristian blinked, processing. Could he really?

“When I pop the next one, look at her like a sad puppy and say it hurts,” the doctor leaned in with a conspiratorial whisper and a knowing smirk. “Whatever you did to tick her off, I bet she’ll forgive you on the

spot.”

With a face like Kristian’s, even grown men would hesitate to scold him when he looked that pitiful.

Even for a grown man like the doctor, it was a tough sight to stomach.

And with a child’s mind, Kristian believed every word. “Really?”

“Try it. See for yourself,” the doctor whispered, one brow lifted playfully.

Kristian’s eyes darted between the doctor and Freya.

“I’m going to pop it now,” the doctor warned, pressing the needle to the blister. This time, Kristian didn’t hold. back. The pain made him flinch as his whole face wrinkled up in discomfort.

Freya turned to him. “Does it hurt a lot?”

“It hurts…” Kristian whimpered, his eyes welling with tears, looking thoroughly wronged.

Freya’s heart softened.

She had to admit, Kristian really was handsome. She’d grown used to his usual cold, distant demeanor. Seeing him like this–so vulnerable–sparked a quiet urge to comfort him.

The doctor caught the change in her expression and cleaned the wound with a bit more force.

Kristian was genuinely in pain. “Ouch!”

“Hang in there. It’ll be over soon,” Freya said gently, ruffling his hair as if calming a child.

Kristian nodded, all seriousness. “Okay.”

The doctor blinked.

That wasn’t the outcome he’d expected.

Weren’t girls supposed to tease their boyfriends when they whined about pain? How had it shifted into a grown

woman soothing him like a mother would a child?

He couldn’t make sense of it, so he simply wrapped things up and handed them the ointment. “Don’t worry about the small blisters. Just let them heal naturally. Make sure to apply this.”

“Thank you, doctor,” Freya said, accepting the medicine.

Kristian followed closely as they left the hospital.

Once they were in the car, he glanced at Freya and asked cautiously, “Freya, do you not like boys who cry when

they are in pain?”

Freya looked puzzled. What on earth was he talking about? She was utterly baffled, not quite grasping what he

was trying to say.

“I’ll be a real man,” Kristian added, his voice serious.

Freya didn’t think much of it. Her eyes stayed on the road. “Okay.”

Kristian let out a quiet sigh of relief. So she really didn’t like boys who complained about pain.

When they reached the residential complex, Freya took Kristian upstairs. His clothes and other belongings had already been delivered by the bodyguards and placed inside.

Freya unlocked the door, like always.

Before she could set her keys down or even take off her jacket, someone rushed forward and threw their arms

around her.

“Mina!”

Ethel had missed her sister terribly. If they hadn’t seen each other for a while, she was always this enthusiastic.

Freya was taken by surprise. “What are you doing here?”
