“It’s fine.” Freya thought it over for a second and waved it off. As long as Kristian’s family didn’t get the wrong
idea, it wasn't a big deal.
Ethel wasn’t convinced. “Mina!”
“Seriously, don’t worry. If he’s trying to play games, he'll just end up looking like a fool,” Freya said calmly. “I
never said | was taking him back.”
From what she'd seen, Kristian was far more calculating now. He used to be thoughtful, but now, it felt like he'd
do anything to get what he wanted.
Honestly, when he’d confessed those things to her, she had been a little surprised. His confession basically
meant he was owning up to being a master manipulator with a sharp mind. It was a bold move.
“You should stop being so nice to him.” Ethel still fretted.
“Relax.” Freya reached over and gently ruffled her hair, still as kind as ever. “I know what I'm doing.”
Ethel didn’t push any further. Her sister had always been sharp, and she trusted her.
After shopping a while longer, they finally picked a spot for dinner. Ethel sat with Jarrett, and Freya sat across
from her with Ellis. The two sisters faced each other across the table.
“By the way, Mina,” Ethel said suddenly, “Grandpa called a few days ago. He wants us over for lunch on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtChristmas Eve. He figured you might be too busy, so he toldto tell you.”
“I probably can’t make it,” Freya replied.
Ethel blinked. “Why not?”

“I promised Ellis I'd pretend to be his girlfriend and dine with his parents that day.” Freya didn’t hide anything.
“Let Grandpa know, and I'll visit him another time.”
Ethel’s eyes lit up with joy and barely hidden excitement. “No problem—I'll handle Grandpa. You go have lunch
at Ellis’s place.”
“Don’t get the wrong idea.”
“Wrong idea about what?”
“His family’s just pressuring him to settle down, so I'm helping out by pretending to be his girlfriend,” Freya
explained seriously. She'd always known Ethel had hoped to match her with Ellis.
“I understand completely, no misunderstanding here,” Ethel declared with a radiant smile that illuminated her
face with pure innocence. “Please proceed, I'll handle Grandpa.”
Freya remained convinced that Ethel had misinterpreted her intentions entirely.
“Joinat my parents’ at noon on the 23rd,” Ellis suggested, hoping to alleviate Freya's concerns. “Their
satisfaction merely requires your presence—whether we dine together becomes entirely optional.”
“Is that truly sufficient?” Freya inquired, her voice tinged with cautious hope. This arrangement would indeed
present the ideal solution to her dilemma.
Ellis responded with a firm nod of confirmation.
