She Took The House The Car And My Heart novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 He’s Intent On Pushing You Out Of The…

Gerard bit his tongue, opting for silence as he steered the car through the streets.

After Kristian reiterated his directive, Gerard relayed the instructions with meticulous care.

Arriving at the airport, Gerard clutched the plane tickets and ventured cautiously, “Sir, do you truly intend to depart from Alerith?”

Kristian’s expression tensed subtly, irritated by his assistant’s persistent questioning.

“The message you had me deliver could lead them to believe Mrs. Shaw has crossed you,” Gerard explained, his voice laced with concern. “What if they decide to target her while you’re gone?”

Kristian hesitated for a moment.

Pushing further, Gerard implored, “You understand the intricacies of the social networks better than anyone. The moment word gets out that you’re distancing yourself from Mrs. Shaw, the others will likely take it as a cue to isolate her. In the long term, this could be detrimental to her…”

Gerard paused, releasing a deep, troubled sigh.

A brief shadow of contemplation flickered across Kristian’s features before he dismissed it with a fleeting smirk. “If you’re that concerned, perhaps you should consider marrying her yourself.”

Gerard was utterly lost for words.

“Moreover, Freya has already filed for divorce,” Kristian declared, his voice icy and detached. “Once I have the divorce papers in hand, I never want to hear ‘Mrs. Shaw‘ mentioned again.”

“Got it,” Gerard responded without missing a beat.

Kristian paid him no mind, his dark gaze growing ever more enigmatic.

In a swift motion, he slipped something into Gerard’s hand, rose from his chair, and his neatly pressed trousers highlighted his tall stature.

Gerard peered at the object in his hand and inquired, “What is this?”

“Had you not jogged my memory, I would’ve completely overlooked this.” Kristian adjusted his jacket and murmured, “At today’s lunch, everyone was aware that Freya was accompanying me.”

”

“If you relay my instructions, some might suspect you bear a personal animosity towards Freya,” Kristian remarked calmly. “Logically, someone who just spent time with me wouldn’t have a problem with me, right?”

A look of confusion crossed Gerard’s face.

Gerard was left dumbfounded. If Kristian was genuinely concerned about hey, why is yo tou 17 Ke indirect approach seemed rather absurd.

“Understood,” Gerard responded tersely, choosing not to elaborate further

With a sense of finality, Gerard boarded the plane, ticket in hand, while Kosta sumuoned tester and made his way back to his branch office.

After spending three additional days in Alerith, Kristian had not caught even a festing gimpse of fea Ris inquiries suggested she had vanished into thin air.

Despite his efforts, she remained elusive.

Leaving the hotel behind, Freya retreated to her true sanctuary–the castle she stated with her family

She had devoted the entire day to cleaning the vast castle.

Ethel hesitated, then added, “He mentioned that Cheryl isn’t like her brother.” Her voice wavered slightly as she

spoke.

She had mentioned this to her sister before, and now their father echoed the sentiment. Would her sister believe they were taking Cheryl’s side?

“Got it,” Freya said, her voice laced with a casual disinterest.

Ethel pressed her lips together, a wave of remorse washing over her.

Before Ethel could formulate a response, Freya pressed on, her voice steady and clear. “I have a keen sense of judgment, and I don’t hastily assign blame. Assure him I’m handling it well.”

“Mina…” Ethel started, her voice tinged with concern.

“Shouldn’t you be on your way to school? Don’t you have morning classes?” Freya’s heart was full of love for her sister–and she knew Ethel felt the same.

Ethel hesitated, then closed the distance between them, enveloping Freya in a supportive hug, She murmured into her hair, “No matter the storm, you always have my shoulder.”

“I know,” Freya whispered back, tightening the embrace.

“I’ll be on my way now,” Ethel said, a warm smile tugging at her lips.

Freya watched her sister stride towards the car, then turned around and headed upstairs to catch some rest. Haunted by nocturnal musings of their mother since her return, Freya’s rest had been fitful. Despite having just awoken, the tendrils of fatigue were palpable.

“Mina,” a voice suddenly called out, halting Freya’s slow ascent up the stairs.

This time, instead of declining as usual, she gracefully joined him in the gazebo nestled within the garden for a

conversation.

Hugh wrestled with a storm of emotions.
