Chapter 197 Better Off This Way
Freya’s countenance grew somber. Nathaniel was still manipulating her emotions by using Peyton as a
pawn.
She averted her gaze, refusing to look at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel, in turn, refrained from any further contact. With only a few days left in their shared company, he had no desire to create an uncomfortable atmosphere.
He offered a faint smile. “Freya, I believe this is the best course of action for both of us.”
“You’ll reside in Stanna, and I’ll proceed with my marriage. Let’s leave things as they are, shall we? I think that’s acceptable.”
Freya responded with a soft chuckle, but said nothing
After a moment, she asked in a raspy voice, “Nathaniel, where were you when my father leaped from that building?”
Nathaniel’s brow furrowed, and he reached out to grasp Freya’s hand once more. Ads by PubFuture
“He jumped of his own accord.”
Nathaniel offered no further explanation.
Freya laughed heartily. She looked at Nathaniel, her gaze turning seductive.
“How did you manage it, Nathaniel Morgan?”
Nathaniel frowned, his gaze fixed on Freya.

Hudson, who was driving, had to exert all his self–control to suppress his laughter.
Nathaniel studied her expression. She finally resembled the woman she was three years ago, infuriatingly self–assured and captivating.
For some inexplicable reason, his heart pounded in his chest. He could no longer suppress his carnal

“Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Gomez. I think I’ll spend the night at Newport Villa. I’m certain you’ve been thinking about me too, given our prolonged separation.”

concern.
“You’re merely my lover, nothing more.”
He seized Freya’s wrist, drawing her close.
Freya couldn’t break free from Nathaniel’s firm grip. Her expression changed, wondering what he might do next in the confines of the car.
Nathaniel Morgan!” Freya finally yelled.
Nathaniel stared back at her. Freya couldn’t withstand his intense gaze, biting her lip.
Nathaniel raised a hand, his thumb brushing her lip as his gaze intensified. “Freya, our time together is limited. Cherish it
“You know your role as a lover.”
Nathaniel pressed a button, and the partition separating the front and back seats slowly ascended.
