Series 20
Freya smiled gently and responded, “Wren and I are sisters. Why shouldn’t I be kind to her?”
Jack exhaled softly and then turned to Wren. “See how Freya treats you? Remember how you treated her before? Out of consideration for Freya, I’ll drop the matter today.”
He gave Wren a pointed look. “Thank Freya now! Don’t be ungrateful!”
Wren’s response was a soft scoff, her expression tinged with sarcasm.
Freya’s words felt insincere to Wren, almost making her feel sick.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way now.” Without waiting for a reply, Wren swiftly turned to leave.
“Look at that! That’s how your daughter acts!” Jack exclaimed in anger.
“I’m sorry, Jack. I promise to talk to Wren. She’ll thank Freya later,” Lily responded meekly, trying to soothe Jack.
As Wren walked away, she could hear Jack’s angry shouts and Lily’s timid apologies. The scorn in her gaze only intensified.
Once she reached her car outside the Wright family’s residence, Wren reclined in the driver’s seat and shut her eyes, feeling exhausted.
A profound sense of burden weighed on her chest.
Despite anticipating the confrontation, living through it had left her feeling stifled and uncomfortable.
After calming herself, Wren took out her phone to send a message.
Soon, her phone buzzed with a reply.
A small smile flickered across her lips when Wren read the response. She set her phone aside and quickly started the car.
In the evening, at Nostalgia Lounge, a popular bar.
Wren’s entrance into the bar didn’t go unnoticed.
She was dressed in a form-fitting black spaghetti-strap dress that highlighted her elegant neck, delicate collarbones, and alluring figure.
Her burgundy hair, styled in a high ponytail, complemented her bold, smoky eye makeup and dark eyeliner that emphasized her captivating eyes.
Her presence effortlessly drew eyes from around the room.
From the SVIP booth on the second floor, Elijah immediately spotted Wren as she walked in.
Her appearance, causing quite a stir, had made it hard for him to miss her.
Elijah’s eyes fell on her short, tight dress, and he frowned slightly.
Could this woman possibly dress any more provocatively?
“Elijah, have you and Wren gone through the process of your divorce?” Theo’s sudden inquiry interrupted Elijah’s thoughts.
