Chapter 669:
She approached the sofa, where her phone had rested untouched for two days. Unlocking it, she opened an app
and activated the lights in every corner of the house with one tap. In an instant, her hshone like midday.
She didn’t move deeper in. Instead, she sat calmly on the couch and spoke into the open air. “Will you cout
on your own, or shall | call security to drag you out?”
“Don’t be so harsh.” A voice floated out from the bedroom. It was Natasha. “I was only hiding to surprise you.”
Freya froze for a beat.
Natasha?
She stared, taken aback. “Why are you here?”
“Didn’t you askto get Ashley back to Alerith safely?” Natasha plopped down opposite her. “I dropped her off
and figured you might be returning, so | cto wait.”
Freya eyed her with suspicion.
When Natasha had left with Ashley, Freya and Kristian were still in a precarious situation. How could Natasha
have known she would make it back?
“Don’t look atlike that,” Natasha sighed. “When | left with Ashley, | saw someone rounding up Brendan's
men. That's why | stayed. | had a feeling you'd return.”

Freya's tone was soft but edged. “And if | hadn’t cback?” At that final, desperate moment—without Kristian’s
intervention—she might not have.
Natasha didn’t flinch. “No way you wouldn't cback. You're my invincible mentor, remember?”
Freya said nothing.
She got up, filled two glasses with water, and handed one to Natasha before sitting down with hers.
“Well... uh...” Natasha faltered.
Freya arched a brow. “Spit it out.”
“Have you given any thought to... you know, the baby?” Natasha scratched her head, hesitant. Ever since
discovering her mentor was a pretty lady, she couldn’t help but care more. “You've divorced Kristian. If you have
the baby, what if he tries to take it from you?”
Freya blinked. “What baby?”
Natasha pointed—casually, as if it were obvious—at Freya's belly. “That one.”
Freya was at a loss for words. There was no need to lie. And no use hiding.
Natasha mistook her silence for contemplation. “So... do you want to...”
“I'm not pregnant,” Freya said flatly. With Brendan out of the picture, she no longer needed the ruse.
“No way!” Natasha protested, eyes wide. “Ashley toldherself—and | even checked!”
If that had been false, Brendan wouldn't have taken the bait.
“What you found out was exactly
what | wanted you to find," Freyan
replied, a lessonacedin every word.

her to kill Kristian, she began working
with me.” The content is on
