Yet she quickly reassured herself that despite Ethel’s lifelong dependence on her, her sister had always
maintained a streak of independence during her absences. This situation likely posed no genuine threat to
Ethel’s development.
After concluding their dinner, a spacious vehicle arrived to transport them home.
Following the drop-off of Ellis and Jarrett at their destination, the driver continued onward, delivering Freya and
Ethel to their family home.
Upon Freya's arrival, the bodyguards stationed at the entrance visibly startled before composing themselves to
deliver their greeting. “Has my dad returned?” Freya inquired.
“He has...” Their voices trailed off with unmistakable hesitation.
Freya detected the undercurrent of tension and paused mid-step. “What's transpired here?”
“Ms. Graza and Ms. Newman have arrived,” the guards explained, fully aware of Freya's aversion to these
women and their presence within the household. “Mr. ..."”

The two guards, both appearing dignified professionals in their thirties, maintained proper posture. One of them
said, “Our objection stems from different reasons entirely. Maintaining our post outdoors conveys greater
authority and professional integrity than retreating to the monitoring chamber.”
Freya's brow furrowed in bewilderment. What peculiar logic governed their thinking?
“Please proceed indoors,” a guard urged with a genuine smile that reflected his established rapport with Freya.
“The temperature continues to drop. Should conditions becunbearable, we'll seek shelter inside.”
“Fine, but don’t sacrifice your comfort unnecessarily,” Freya advised, recognizing their stubborn dedication to
duty.
“Understood!” they affirmed with unwavering resolve.
The pair stood vigilant like devoted guardians, their postures radiating unwavering dedication.
Their reasoning flowed from a place of profound gratitude. When life had left them directionless, Freya had
extended this opportunity, invested in their training, and rewarded them with generous compensation.
They recognized that their current abilities and knowledge would never command such impressive salaries
elsewhere.
This awareness fueled their determination to protect Freya's sanctuary with absolute commitment.
