Chapter 304:
“Let’s pick up Kristian at his place first.”
“Sure,” Liam replied, his tone surprisingly obedient. He led the way, driving smoothly toward Kristian’s villa. Kristian’s garage housed a collection of rare, limited-edition luxury supercars—vehicles that weren’t even available for sale on the market anymore.
As they made their way to Kristian’s villa, Liam caught a glimpse of the car behind him in the rearview mirror. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to call Kristian.
Kristian wasn’t in the mood to answer any calls today, least of all from his younger brother.
“What’s up?” Kristian’s voice sounded tired and raspy, like he had just woken up.
Liam drove on, his eyes fixed on the road. “Are you really going through with the divorce?” he asked.
Kristian remained silent. Liam had touched a nerve.
“I can help you delay things,” Liam offered, outlining his terms. “But you’ll need to promise me that if Freya wants all your luxury supercars, you’ll refuse.”
“I don’t need them,” Kristian replied coldly.
Liam opened his mouth to say more, but before he could, Kristian had already ended the call.
Kristian stared at the transparent folder on the table, filled with all the divorce paperwork.
While he might not fully understand Freya, he knew enough to recognize her resolve.
Even if the divorce were delayed today, it would happen tomorrow.
Since Freya didn’t want to be with him, there was no sense in trying to force it. Kristian had no interest in a marriage plagued by constant conflict.
Having waited for more than an hour, Freya finally arrived, just after three.

Liam opened the door for her and led her inside, chattering away. “Freya, are you sure about this? A man as handsome, wealthy, and fit as my brother is a rare gem. If you divorce him, you’ll never see such a fine face again. Isn’t that a loss?”
Freya paused, giving him a look that clearly said she wasn’t buying it. “Weren’t you the one encouraging my divorce before?”
“Encouraging it is one thing,” Liam replied, still as carefree as ever, “but I don’t want you to miss out on something this good. I’m just helping you weigh the pros and cons of divorce.”
“Who said that getting divorced means I have to remarry?” Freya didn’t bother confronting him about his true motives.
Up until today, Liam had held out a sliver of hope for Kristian, partly out of curiosity about how things would play out.
But now that divorce day had arrived and it was clear Kristian and Freya’s relationship wasn’t going to improve, Liam felt compelled to intervene.
“If you don’t remarry, people will say you can’t get over my brother,” Liam continued. “They’ll think you’re too proud to reconcile with him.”
Freya let out a weary sigh.
“You’re the only one who would say that,” she muttered.
Yet Liam had a point. After divorcing Kristian, it would indeed be hard to find someone as handsome as him.
Trent was also good-looking. But when compared to Kristian’s almost ethereal appearance, Trent’s charm fell just a little short.
