HappyNovelChapter 685:
Freya nodded.
She left the café with him.
As Isaac was about to get into his car, Freya finally gathered the nerve to say what had been weighing on her.
Her voice wavered with regret. “I'm sorry.”
“There's nothing to apologize for.” Isaac looked every bit the compassionate elder. “Your happiness has always
been Kristian’s priority. | should be the one thanking you—for helpingkeep this from Melinda and my dad.”
Melinda and Lionel were fiercely protective of Kristian. If they found out what had happened, who knew how

“Oh, and don't tell Liam about this either,” Isaac added before stepping into his car.
Given Liam's nature, there was always the chance he’d slip up and blurt everything out without meaning to.

or hear—Isaac feared Kristian himself wouldn't be able to take it.
Kristian had always carried himself with pride. Isaac was terrified this would crush him completely.
As for Freya—Isaac had never, not once, blamed her.
After all, she was the very person his son had risked everything to protect. He couldn't find it in himself to hold
her responsible.
