Chapter 217 I Came To
Take You Home
"Do you know when the Captain''sing back?" Freya asked, her voice cool and
even.
Trent let out a soft chuckle. "Not a clue."
"Seriously? You have no idea?" Freya pressed, her tone edged with disbelief.
"Really no idea," Trent said truthfully. "He just said he''d be back sometime, didn''t give a proper time frame."
Freya went quiet.
No wonder, during theirst phone call, the Captain insisted they''d talk face-to- face.
Trent started to specte aloud. "Did you do something wrong?"
Freya was stunned into silence. Why did everyone react like this?
"No." She stood by her answer. "If he tells you when he''sing back, give me a heads-up so I can be ready."
"Ready to bolt?" Trent''s deep voice rumbled through the phone.
Freya said nothing.
She was seen through again.
"If you did tick him off, I''d say just deal with it head-on," Trent teased. "If you try to run and he catches you, it
won''t end well."
"I didn''t upset him," Freya stated firmly.
"Mm-hmm."
"I really didn''t," she repeated, more firmly this time.
"I believe you."
Freya went silent again. Was that teasing tone actually meant to sound sincere?
"Anyway, if you hear anything about his return, let me know beforehand," Freya reminded him again, worried
he might forget.
"Got it," Trent agreed.
After hanging up, Freya returned the phone to Frederick, her thoughts still spinning on how she''d exin things if the Captain brought up theirst conversation.
Frederick, noticing the troubled look on her face, couldn''t help but ask, "Freya, what did you do to upset the

Captain
"I didn''t."
"You into him or something? Want to sleep with the guy?"
Freya was speechless. Did she reallye across that way?
Frederick rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Have you ever had feelings for hi "Would you dare?" Freya snapped.
Their captain was merciless during training-who''d even dare catch feelings?
She still remembered the brutal drills and punishments like they''d just happened.
"I''m going to bed," Freya said, standing up, not wanting to drag the topic out any longer.
She had bought the apartment upstairs but never actually lived in. This trip gave her a reason to finally use it.
Back in her apartment, Freya shook off the lingering thoughts, took a shower, and copsed into bed.
She figured she should tackle the current issues first-only then could she deal with whoever was manipting
Ashley.
As for the Captain, she''d deal with him when he came back.
Morning arrived in the blink of an eye.
By seven, Melvin had already shown up at Freya''s home with breakfast in hand.
After Freya finished eating, Melvin drove her to thepany. Once everything was in order there, he headed to the hotel to collect the poisoning report.
While he was out, Freya stayed busy handling work. Once that was done, she started piecing together the clues.
Halfway through, her phone rang. It was a call from a bodyguard stationed at Farrah''s ce.
"Mr. Yates stormed in with a group, trying to take Ms. Welch," the bodyguard reported, wasting no time.
Freya''s brow furrowed. "Stop them. I''ming."
"Understood!"
She ended the call, shot Melvin a message saying something urgent hade up, and drove straight to
Farrah''s location.
Meanwhile, Farrah had just finished breakfast and gone for a stroll when she spotted a group of people heading
her way.
From afar, she figured it was probably just a few bodyguards getting in their morning run-typical for a high-end vi neighborhood like this one in Alerith.
Ten minutester, just as she was wrapping up her walk and heading back inside
to listen to some piano, she saw them getting closer.
That''s when she realized who was leading them.

Chapter 2171 Came To Take You Home
Felipe had brought people and was clearly nning to barge in, but the
bodyguards Freya had assigned to her
quickly blocked their way.
The lead bodyguard immediately rang Freya.
"Move," Felipe ordered coldly, his presence sharp and unyielding
The bodyguard didn''t budge. "Ms. Briggs said you''re not allowed in."
"My wife''s in there. Why the hell not?" Felipe snapped. "Should I call the police?"
Still, the bodyguard held his ground.
"Call the cops!" Felipe barked.
"Wait!" Farrah stepped forward.
She knew that if the police showed up, they''d chalk it up as a domestic spat.
Things would get messy.
Wearing loose clothes that concealed her pregnancy, she stood at the door and asked, "What do you want?"
"I came to take you home," Felipe said inly.
"Oh, really?"
"Come back with me," he said again.
"Come back for what? So you can force me into abortion?" Farrah''s tone was icy,
her eyes void of warmth.
Felipe stiffened at her words. He didn''t step inside, but from the doorway, his
voice carried a tangle of emotions. "I know everything now."
Farrah''s brows knitted, not quite grasping what he meant.
"I know the child''s mine," Felipe confessed, feeling like a ton of bricks had hit him
when he uncovered the truth.
"And I know... Jocelyn lied to me."
"And then?" Farrah asked softly, her nose tingling as emotion crept in.
"Come home with me. I''ll make it right," Felipe pleaded, seeing the red in her eyes
and feeling a deep wave of regret. "I swear, I won''t ever hurt you again."
He knew he''d messed up-badly. He understood how he had let her down.
But he couldn''t bear life without her. Her absence had drained the joy from his world.
"Felipe, what do you take me for?" Farrah''s chest ached. "You think I still care about your so-called apology?"
Their entire rtionship had been built on one ridiculous misunderstanding
She had once cared for him. But that had all shattered under the weight of his
harsh words.
"You think I don''t mind the fact that you were unfaithful while we were married?" Even now, the thought of it made her chest tighten.
She wasn''t like Freya; she couldn''t just let go.

She hated him... but she couldn''t deny his words still struck a chord.
"I never cheated," Felipe said. "Besides you, I''ve never touched anyone else."
Farrah let out a bitterugh.
How many nights had she smelled other women''s perfume on him? Seen lipstick
smeared on his cor? Did he really think she was that blind?
