Chapter 1347:
“By the way,” he started again, “Gerard mentioned someone’s been chasing after you lately. Is that true?”
“No.”
“So... you're not planning to get married anytsoon?”
“I'm going to rest next door,” Kristian said abruptly, rising to his feet. “Letknow when Gerard's group
returns.”
With that, he stepped into the adjoining room and closed the door behind him. But rest was the last thing on his
mind.
Felipe’s questions echoed inside his head, pressing against thoughts he had long kept buried. Rubbing his brow,
he sat at the edge of the bed, weary—not from lack of sleep, but from a heaviness that had clung to his heart for
years. Marriage? How could he possibly be ready?
Over the years, he had revisited the past more times than he cared to admit. Ashley. Freya. The tangled web of
choices and regrets. Perhaps thad brought clarity, but with it cthe sting of shame. He saw now how
blind he had been—how absurd everything had become.
Back then, he hadn't truly understood love. He had believed that Ashley had vanished from his life under the
shadow of illness, choosing to bear her pain alone.

In the aftermath, blinded by grief and guilt, he had clung to her memory like a man drowning. And in doing so,
he had pushed Freya away. He had tried to mend the cracks later, but love, once fractured, doesn’t always heal.
Even after all this time, Freya had not faded from his heart.
To offer that heart to someone else now—when it still bore her name—would feel like a betrayal.
His fingers absently reached for his phone. Unlocking it, he opened Freya's profile, scrolling through it like a ritual
he couldn't let go of.
Still blank. It always was.
Sometimes, he wished she posted more—a picture, a status, anything. Just something to let him glimpse her
world from afar.
But she wasn't the type to share. If he was lucky, she might post once a year—if that.

Just then, his phone vibrated twice.
A message from Liam lit up the screen. “Gerard's getting married. Any thoughts?”
Kristian typed back, “What thoughts?”
The reply cquickly. “Marriage, obviously. You've been single for years. Planning to stay that way forever?”
Without blinking, Kristian blocked him. He wasn’t having that conversation.
