It wasn't just dislike. If he had his way, Ellis would disappear entirely.
“But he’s been good to you, and he understands you.” Freya's words nearly cracked his composure. “He
prepared sdishes for you. Thought you might not like them. He even made the oatmeal in advance.”
Kristian blinked. “Ellis made it?”
“Can you just tellwhy you don’t like him?” Freya asked, her brow furrowed, confusion lacing her voice.
Kristian didn’t respond. He sat there in silence. What other reason could there be? If Ellis lingered around Freya
for too long, it was only a matter of tbefore he whisked her away. And before Kristian had the chance to truly
claim her heart, he couldn't risk letting that happen.
Still waiting, Freya pressed again, “Is it that hard to answer?”
“Before | give you an answer, can | ask you something first?”
“Go ahead.”
“If that man and | were in danger, and you could only save one person, who would it be?” Kristian asked
seriously.
Freya blinked, taken aback. What kind of question was that?
Seeing her hesitate, Kristian leaned in slightly, his gaze unwavering.

“You'd save him, wouldn't you?”
“I'd save you,” Freya replied without pause.
She owed him her life. If a situation like that ever really happened, she'd choose him first. After that, she would
try to save Ellis, too. But realistically, she didn’t think it would cto that. Ellis was far more capable than she
was. He likely wouldn't need saving at all.
Kristian stiffened. His heart gave a sudden jolt.
If he hadn't kept his emotions in check, he might've let slip that his mental faculties had long since returned.

“Why?” he asked, almost like a curious child. “Aren't you close with him?”
“That's your second question,” Freya shot back coolly, her eyes narrowing slightly. She had a nagging suspicion
that Kristian’s mental faculties were beginning to recover. “Now it’s your turn to answer mine.”
Kristian locked his eyes on her.
All at once, it felt as though she had beca complete mystery to him. Based on what Gerard had told him, he
was convinced Freya didn’t love him. But if that was true, then why had she picked him? Was it just to comfort
him? Or was it because he’d once saved her on Butterfly Island?
“I'm afraid you'll end up with him,” Kristian said, the lie slipping effortlessly from his lips. “If you two end up
together, you'll have children, and then you'll forget all about me.”
Freya blinked, thoroughly puzzled. Where was this coming from?
“Who told you that?”
“No one.”
“That's not how things work,” Freya
replied, exhaling as she did. The
thought of raising kiggpuaded
exhausting Even if | were with
Ellis—which I'm not—and even if you
hadn't gotten better yet, I'd still do my
job and take care of you properly.”
