Freya looked at him and asked, “I know you are trying to comfort me.”
She couldn’t help but blame herself.
Even though the pain wasn’t on her.
But as a woman, she could understand what Sacha was going through.
Elijah gently said, “Sacha has already accepted Evan back, they are doing well now, so you don’t need to blame yourself entirely.”
Freya raised an eyebrow slightly, how did she not know?
When did they make up?
But it was good news that Sacha could let go and start over with Evan.
She adjusted her expression, “What about Thorne now?”
“He’s locked up.” Elijah’s expression darkened, “Still breathing.”
Although the incident had passed.
The harm it caused to him and the people around him.
He could never forgive.
So, even though Jack begged hard, he didn’t relent.
He beat the man half to death, and now he’s locked up in the old mansion.
“As for the old man’s affairs…”
“His son’s taking care of it, I’ll just go through the motions.” Elijah cut off Freya.
He knew what Freya wanted to say!
The second son, Colton Silverton, has mobility issues, but he’s still alive.
He’s said to be keeping a pretty young girl and doesn’t care about Thorne’s business.
Completely captivated by a woman!
He was a lecher himself!
Freya nodded, “That’s fine.”
She was worried that Elijah wouldn’t take charge and let outsiders laugh at him.
After all, family matters should not be made public!
Elijah chuckled, his deep voice going from light to heavy, “Haven’t outsiders known for a long time that the old man and I were at odds? Haven’t they known we couldn’t stand each other?”
Freya said, “…”
She hesitated, “Anyway, now that the man is gone, you should still put on a show.”
So outsiders wouldn’t call him heartless.
Disrespecting even his own grandfather!
Even though the Silverton family had always bullied Elijah, he still had to act in this matter.
Elijah smiled, “I’ll do as you say.”
Freya glared at him with resentment, “Seriously, I’m telling you the truth. I don’t want you to be called unfilial by others. Reputation is something you may not care about, but you can’t not maintain it. You’re a father now, you can’t let your son grow up hearing rumors, right? It’s a blemish to your towering fatherly image.”
“You’re right.” Elijah rubbed his sore neck, and Freya asked, “Is your neck uncomfortable?”
“Not…”
“I’ll massage it for you.”
Freya got on the bed and knelt behind him, this posture made it easier for her to massage his shoulders.
Her technique was good.
Elijah felt comfortable, closing his eyes slowly.
“You’re so frail, yet strong at the same time.”
Freya explained, “It’s not my strength, it’s my knowledge of pressure points. I know how to relieve your fatigue, make you comfortable. Let me tell you, you better be honest to me for the rest of your life. If you dare to cheat on me, I’m sorry, I can kill you, leave no trace.”
Elijah moved his lips, slowly smiling with a hint of indulgence in his tone, “I know you have that ability, but if you kill me, you’ll be a widow.”
“I’ll just find another handsome guy.”
“You won’t find someone as handsome as me.”
“Then I’ll find someone a little uglier than you, as long as it’s a man…”
Elijah suddenly turned his head.
His gaze deepened as he stared at Freya.
Freya met his intimidating gaze, raised her head and said, “If you dare deceive me, I’ll dare to cuckold you…”
Elijah pressed down on her.
Freya tried to squirm away, but Elijah blocked her with his arm. He leaned over her, teasingly said, “The ugly don’t match up to you.”
