Hearing his assuring statements, Freya felt relieved. There was a grin on her face as she gazed at his handsome Tace.
She noticed him raising the bottle and swallowing the drink The movement of his Adam’s apple caused her to move closer to him.
She put her hand on his chest and fiddled with the button of his shirt. He cocked his head to the side in order to look at her face.
While Freya was getting closer to his face, she began to unbutton his shirt.
She tilted her head and kissed him on the cheek. She moved her lips close to his mouth and whispered,
“It’s been six months since we decided to live our life together in the future. But you never tried to kiss me.”
She closed her eyes, knowing their lips were only a few inches apart.
As just her lips were about to touch his, he gripped her jaw, stopping her from kissing him.
She was shocked by his action as her eyes flung open. She was startled when her eyes met his dark orbs.
“It’s because I don’t like it.”
“D–Don’t like what?” she mumbled.
“Kissing on the lips.”
She rolled her eyes and pushed his hand away. “Come on, Ian. Don’t think that I am not aware of your past. You have slept with other women. It’s not new.”
“But I never kissed them on the lips,” he murmured.
It was true that after kissing Ava, he never kissed another woman.
Kissing someone and having sex were two different things. People had one–night stands when they had no one in their lives, but there was something they could not do that reminded them of the person they used to love.
Freya glanced at the wall where the projector was playing. When she saw pictures of Dane and Ava, she furrowed her brows.
“How did you get them?” she asked.
Ian glanced at the photo and replied,
“I have my own way.”
Suddenly Ian turned to look at her and grabbed the back of her neck.
He pulled her close to his face and looked into her eyes. She was terrified by his unexpected actions.
“You don’t look surprised at all. Why does it feel like you were aware of their closeness? You knew they were together, didn’t you?”
Freya lowered her gaze when she realized she had made him mad at her.
“I am sorry, Ian. I did not tell you about them. I saw Ava in Dane’s house. She usually goes to his house, spends the night with him, and leaves early in the morning.”

Ian got confirmation from Freya about what his men had told her that day. He released her. His blood was boiling once again.
I guess they knew each other even four years ago.”
“Four years ago?” Freya muttered.
She recalled the day when Dane canceled his meeting in another pack and stayed in the airport for a long time without any reason. That was the first time she saw Ava with Dane in a photo. Some girls took pictures of them at the airport.
“You are right, Ian. They had known each other for a long time. I believe they set out to ruin you and were successful. I think she never loved you.”
Freya’s words drove a stake through Ian’s heart. He clenched his jaw while staring at her.
Her dark gaze caused her to lower her head even more. He was different from Dane. Dane was always gentle with her, treating her like a baby girl.
However, with Ian, she felt like a woman. He never treated her like a princess. But he exuded an allure that other women were drawn to.
“Ian…”
Freya paused, taking a deep breath. She recalled the conversation she had with Ava at the family get–together.
“That night, I had a good conversation with Ava at your house. She told me that she likes Dane. She fixes her eyes on him. There is no doubt Dane is after her. He, the bad boy everyone used to fear, has changed just for her. I believe they were made for each other. Just let them go and concentrate on our own lives.”
After putting a stone in her heart, Freya uttered those same words. After seeing Dane in the meeting room, she realized that he did not care about who she was with. He had Ava, and he would announce her as his fiancée very
soon.
“Made for each other?” Ian said, tilting his head.
As Freya raised her head, she gazed directly into his eyes. That was a pair of eyes that were bloodshot. He was not pleased by her words.
Freya placed her hand on his chest, moving her hand inside the shirt to reach his heart. She noticed that his heartbeat was becoming more sluggish.
“When I saw you eight months ago, you said you don’t have a heart. Then why is it beating now for someone?”
He stared at her without replying to her. He had also been asking the same question to himself for the past four
years.
Seeing that he looked confused and puzzled by her question, she took the opportunity and moved closer to him. Her nose brushed his nose. She closed her eyes, just wanting to kiss him for once.
rp jawline.
She chuckled at his action. In truth, she tried her best to distract this man. But his mind was fixed on someone else. He was a man who could not get into any woman’s hand. It was the reason she was so attracted to him.
As soon as her lips touched the corner of his lips, he turned his head away. Her lips touched his
She moved to sit next to him. Her chuckle paused as her gaze returned to the wall where photos were displayed. Looking at the couple, whom she did not like, she patted Ian’s chest and turned to look at him. 1
