Chapter 1342:
“Oh, by the way,” Freya added, glancing at him with a teasing glint in her eye, “Gerard's tying the knot. When
are you planning to find someone?” She didn’t mean to pry, but she genuinely cared about him.
Melvin paused, then replied coolly, “I'm not in a rush.”
Marriage wasn’t something he saw in his future—not if it was just for the sake of going through the motions. That
kind of life didn’t appeal to him.
“If you ever meet someone you truly like, just letknow,” Freya said with heartfelt sincerity. “I'll step in and
take over the company. You go date.”
Melvin gave a small smile, not wanting her to worry. “Alright.”
That afternoon, he took his leave and made his way to Jeucwell. He and Gerard had known each other since they
were boys—they had gone to the shigh school and college. Even though they didn’t meet often, their
friendship had never frayed.
When Melvin arrived, Gerard personally picked him up from the airport and drove him to a hotel he had already
booked in advance.
At first, the two just chatted, catching up on everything they had missed. Then, Melvin handed Gerard the
wedding gift Freya had sent along.
Gerard hesitated. He didn’t really want to accept it—especially since he hadn't even invited Freya to the

“You can still invite her now,” Melvin said, his tone matter-of-fact.
“I can’t,” Gerard replied, his smile dimming. Something clouded his expression. “All these years, my boss never
said anything outright, but I can tell—he’s never truly let go of her.”
If Freya showed up with Ellis, and Kristian saw them together, Gerard worried it would only reopen old wounds. It
wasn't worth stirring up the past.
Melvin went quiet for a moment. “She’s moved on. Why hasn't he?”
“I don’t know,” Gerard admitted. He couldn't make sense of it either, but he was certain—Kristian still had
feelings for Freya. “Maybe it’s guilt... regret... or just clinging to what they used to have.”
Melvin didn’t say much after that. When it cto matters of the heart, he never claimed to be an expert. All he
really cared about was that Freya was happy.
“What about you?” Gerard asked, shifting the topic. “You've been single since birth. Never thought about
dating?”
