?Chapter 574:


    Freya had always had a soft spot for her female friends, always offering warmth and support.


    “Yes?”


    “Thank you.”


    “Don’t mention it,” Freya replied with a soft smile. Then she added, “Once you divorce Felipe, I’ll help you find a new ce and a different agency. That way, you can finally put some distance between you and the Yates family.”


    “Okay. Thanks again,” Farrah murmured.


    Freya offered a few more words offort before hanging up the call.


    She knew better than most that pregnant women needed to be surrounded by love—and if Felipe couldn’t give that, she certainly would.


    Life could be rich and full with family, true friends, and a little self-love. Romance wasn’t the only path to happiness.


    Once the call ended, Freya went back to soaking up the sun.


    It wasn’t until dusk that she finally made her way to the study to organize the pile of dirt she had gathered on Norah, ensuring it would be neat and easy for Josiah to go through.


    By the time she wrapped everything up, it was already past nine. After wishing Ethel and Hugh a good night, she took a rxing bath and headed off to bed.


    Her days usually ran on a well-kept routine.


    The next morning, as Freya shared breakfast with Hugh and Ethel, Hugh’s phone rang. It was Vivien.


    The gist of the call? She wanted to meet with Hugh and his family.


    ?????????????????.????? = ?????? ???????


    He put the phone on speaker, and after hearing her request, he instinctively nced at both Freya and Ethel. “Not today, I’ve got a few things to take care of.”


    “But today’s Morn’s birthday,” Vivien’s voice came through the speaker, sounding just a touch pitiful. “Are you really noting?”


    Hugh hesitated, caught in the middle.


    If he went, he’d be breaking his promise to spend quality time with his daughters.


    But if he didn’t go… well, it was Cheryl’s birthday.


    “Mom went out early this morning to buy tons of groceries, all to cook something special for you and the girls,” Vivien added, her voiceced with disappointment. “If you don’te, it’ll all just go to waste.”


    Just as Hugh was about to turn her down, Freya spoke up. “We’ll head overter.” Hugh was stunned, so was Ethel.


    Vivien, too, was caught off guard by Freya’s unexpected agreement. She was well aware of how much Freya resented her, and yet… Freya had said yes.


    “Mina?” Hugh asked, his tone uncertain.


    “We don’t have much going on today, and it won’t take long,” Freya exined calmly. Her outlook had shifted.


    Once upon a time, she had selfishly believed their father belonged only to her, Ethel, and their mother.


    But after uncovering the truth about her parents’ past, her heart had softened. She had learned to let go.


    As long as Cheryl and Vivien didn’te after the Briggs Group or mess with her family, she could live with the rest.
