GoodReadFor a moment, comprehension eluded Freya as she struggled to digest Alexander's proposal.
"Are you suggesting | leave the country?" she asked, her voice laced with disbelief."Consider it a retreat,"
Alexander replied, his tone soothing and patient, akin to a brother offering counsel. "Take your husband, your
children, and seek solace abroad. It might alleviate the torment of your restless mind."
His words painted a picture of her fears as mere figments of a nightmare, an unnecessary anxiety that could be
easily dispelled. The concept of fleeing to foreign lands with her family gradually began to appeal to Freya.
She harbored a deep affection for Walter and was prepared to go to any lengths for him. After all, wasn't their
shared goal to live a contented life as a family?"But would Walter consent to this?" she questioned, uncertainty
clouding her thoughts.
"That's a challenge for you to tackle,” Alexander responded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "He has no ties
here. What could possibly hold him back?"
Freya's brow furrowed in contemplation. Indeed, Walter had no living parents, and she, along with their son
Harold, were his only family. Why would he refuse? Unless he harbored plans unbeknownst to her.
A wave of uncertainty washed over Freya. She knew, better than anyone, that she did not hold a place in
Walter's heart.
Their marriage was not a product of love. Yet, she dared not voice this fear, for if she did, Alexander would never
leave Walter in peace.
Gradually, Freya regained her composure, bowing her head in silent acquiescence."Very well, I shall discuss this
with him," she conceded. "Proceed," Alexander encouraged, a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. It was a
smirk that reminded her of Oliver, yet it was different, somehow. The man before her was a blend of the familiar
and the foreign, stirring an inexplicable unease within her.
Freya rose from her seat, took a moment to collect herself, drew in a deep breath, and exited the room.

A brief hiss echoed as the stub sank to the bottom, only to bob up again.
A sudden intuition prompted Alexander to glance towards the second floor, his gaze meeting Quinn's clear-cut
stare.
Realizing she had been spotted, Quinn immediately ducked out of sight. Seated on the floor, her heart pounded
in her chest, her already pale face drained of all color.
She had eavesdropped on their entire conversation.Hugging her knees, Quinn's mind was in turmoil. Despite the
years they had spent together, the man she had grown close to now felt more distant than ever.
