She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 805:

“You should go back with Isaac.” Freya chimed in at just the right moment. “If you still want to return after Christmas, I can send someone to pick you up.”

Kristian instantly felt sour, his thoughts taking a dark turn. Did she really want him gone?

“Your family’s been extremely worried about you. If you don’t go back, they’ll only grow more anxious,” Freya said earnestly, hoping he’d understand.

Kristian wanted to argue, but he didn’t want her to think poorly of him. “I don’t want to go back.”

“Freya doesn’t like people who don’t care about their family,” Isaac said under his breath, tossing the remark out to provoke him.

Kristian stayed silent. Was this man put on earth just to make his life miserable?

He scrambled to make his case. “I don’t even know them. I’ve got no memory of anything. If I go back, they’ll figure it out—and won’t that just make them worry more?”

“You’re overthinking it,” Isaac said, clearly amused by the whole thing. “Your grandpa’s attention span is terrible. Once he lays eyes on you, his curiosity will vanish. As for your mom—she’s only ever truly cared about one person: me.”

Kristian gave him a look of pure disbelief. Was this man seriously bragging about his marriage right now?

“Well then,” Kristian retorted, “if that’s true, why should I even bother going back?”

“You’ll understand once you’re there,” Isaac replied vaguely.

Kristian harbored his suspicions. Was this man truly his father?

“If you’re worried that someone might find out, I can provide you with all the information about your family,” Freya offered with a shrug.

“Do you want me to go back?” Kristian asked, a flicker of disappointment twisting in his chest.

Freya didn’t sugarcoat it. “Yes.”

“After Christmas, will you come pick me up?”

“I want you to come get me in person.” It was the only concession Kristian was willing to make.

“Sure,” Freya replied without missing a beat. “But I can’t show up directly at the Shaw estate.”

If she went there, Lionel and Melinda might jump to the wrong conclusion. After the divorce, she only stopped by when it was absolutely necessary.

If she made an appearance later, they might assume she and Kristian were reconciling.

Kristian weighed the situation. Deep down, he knew he didn’t have much room to bargain. With Freya and Isaac both pulling the strings, there wasn’t going to be a chance to say no.

“Fine, but you have to come get me after Christmas. No stalling.” Kristian finally gave in.

Freya cast a glance at Isaac, who nodded ever so slightly. That was enough for her to agree.

After dinner, Isaac left for a nearby hotel, reminding Kristian that he’d be back in three days.

During that time, Freya made good on her promise. She walked Kristian through introductions with his family, narrating backstories and connections. She even gave him a crash course on his old friends, Felipe included—just in case.

After all, with a few days back in his hometown, there was no telling who he might bump into. Better safe than blindsided. Time passed swiftly.noveldrama

The day had finally come—Kristian was heading home with Isaac. Even though Kristian wasn’t exactly thrilled, Isaac showed up right on time.
