Chapter 217 I Came To

Take You Home

“Do you know when the Captain’s coming 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 their last phone call, the Captain insisted they’d talk face–to–face.

Trent started to speculate 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’s coming 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 explain things if the Captain brought up their last 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 really come 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 collapsed into bed.

She figured she should tackle the current issues first–only then could she deal with whoever was manipulating

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 the company. 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 place.

“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’m coming.”

“Understood!”

She ended the call, shot Melvin a message saying something urgent had come 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 villa neighborhood like this one in Alerith.

Ten minutes later, 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 planning 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 plainly.

“Oh, really?”
