Chapter 1222:
“Shut up,” Lionel retorted, his tone sharp. In his view, Kristian had already been through enough. The least they
could do was not make it harder. He truly felt for his grandson.
Isaac glanced at Kristian, who remained unbothered on the surface.
“Everyone, step out,” Lionel said, motioning for privacy. “Kristian stays.”
The others exchanged looks but eventually left the room, giving them space.
Looking at Kristian, who'd clearly lost a great deal of weight, Lionel’s chest tightened. He couldn't help but
wonder—if he'd been harder on him back then, would things have turned out differently?
“I know you haven't let go,” Lionel began, getting straight to the point. He wasn’t the only one. They all saw it
too.
“Feelings don’t just disappear overnight,” Lionel continued, his voice gentler now, as if trying to reassure him. “I
know what's weighing on your mind. But as long as I'm around, no one can force you into marriage.”
Kristian’s gaze flickered. Truthfully, he wasn’t entirely sure if he had let go. But seeing Freya content with Ellis
had brought him speace.
“Thank you,” Kristian murmured.

“If you really want to thank me, then live your life well,” Lionel urged. For once, he was open about his hopes for
his grandson. “I don’t need anything big. | just want to see you happy.”
Kristian gave a small nod. “I will.”
They sat and talked for a long while, reminiscing and reflecting on what had passed—Freya’s arrival, and her
quiet exit.
At last, Lionel gave him one final piece of advice. “If you ever meet someone you truly care about, hold onto her.
Don’t make mistakes you'll regret, and don’t hurt her.”
“I understand,” Kristian said softly.
“That's all | needed to say,” Lionel finished. In most ways, he was satisfied with his grandson, though he wished
he weren't so lost when it cto love. “Go on, unpack your things.”

Kristian gave a quiet nod and left the room with his luggage.
Isaac and Melinda watched Kristian walk away, both wearing that quiet, conflicted look.
Liam noticed it and tried to ease the mood. “Hey, don’t stress too much. He'll sort things out on his own.”
“Let's hope so,” Melinda murmured, clearly still worried.
