Chapter 730:
If Kristian was pretending, then someone should hand him an Oscar already.
Sure, you could fake your expressions, your tone—but the tiny, instinctive reactions? Those were nearly
impossible to counterfeit. After talking with Isaac, Freya had run her own tests, and she was convinced—this
wasn't an act.
Gerard shot a quick glance at Kristian, curiosity practically oozing from his eyes.
Kristian frowned ever so slightly, shifting uncomfortably under the scrutiny. Why was that man staring at him like
that? Didn't anyone teach him it was rude to stare?
“Kristian,” Freya said.
His attention snapped to her immediately. “What is it, my dear sister? What can | do for you?”
Gerard blinked. Sister?
“Letintroduce you,” Freya said, trying to help Kristian familiarize himself with speople from his past.
“This is your assistant, Gerard Todd. You two were really close—you trusted him a lot.”
“Assistant?” Kristian tilted his head, looking adorably lost. He had no idea what that was supposed to mean.

don’t need to think about all that now. Just remember—you guys were good friends.”
“I'll keep that in mind.” Kristian nodded obediently, soaking in her every word.
Gerard's last bit of hope crumbled. He stared in disbelief. Was this really his cold, decisive, untouchable boss?
How did he turn into such a soft, clingy “kid”?
“Do you want to visit the office with him?” Freya suggested gently.
Kristian’s fingers tightened in his lap, his thoughts spiraling. Was Freya planning to hand him off to someone
else?

With a flicker of anxiety, he looked up and whispered, “Can | not go?”
“Of course,” Freya reassured him, noticing how quickly his mood had shifted. “It was just a suggestion. You don’t
have to go if you don’t want to.”
“I don’t want to go.” Kristian spoke up, summoning a bit more confidence this time.
“Then would you rather stay here with Gerard, or chwith me?”
“Go hwith you,” Kristian blurted out.
He answered so quickly that Gerard couldn't help but give him another once-over.
The way Kristian clung to Freya so naturally made Gerard wonder—was he really not faking?
Since Kristian’s mind was made up, Freya asked Gerard a few more things, then went off to pack Kristian’s
belongings.
Gerard had initially intended to help, but since there wasn’t much he could do, he ended up sitting beside
Kristian instead. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he called out, “Sir?”
Kristian looked at him blankly.
