There were two seats there.
Nobody was around, but there was cutlery, and the food was untouched.
One of the chairs had a laptop bag on them.It was to stop people from sitting there.She walked over
and placed down her tray of food.
"Who is this?"
After saying that, someone approached her and placed a drink in front of her.She looked up, and it was
Colton.
He moved his bag back to his seat and sat down, then picked up his cutlery and started cutting the
steak on his plate.
Freyja looked around, and there weren’t any other seats around.
"Is someone sitting here?"
He slowly chewed and didn’t look up.
"No."
"So you're taking up two seats?"
"I don’t like to eat with strangers."
Freyja didn’t know what to say.
Colton looked up calmly at her.
"Is there a problem?"
"No."
She smiled and picked up her food, "I'll leave you to it then."
She turned and was about to leave when Colton stopped her.
"Wait."
Before she could react, he calmly said, "Take a seat.I have questions for you."
Freyja placed down her tray and sat across from him.
"Go ahead."
Colton fell silent for two seconds.
"I haven’t thought about them."
She was startled.
"Are you joking?"
Colton looked at her but didn’t answer.
"Eat."
Freyja frowned because she had no idea what was on his mind.
To her, Colton wasn’t someone who would make jokes, and she thought that he would ask about Daisie
or something related to her.
He didn’t seem interested in anything else other than his sister.
It was a little awkward, especially because she was sitting across from him.
Someone who didn’t want to see her was sitting calmly across from her now.His attitude had changed a
lot, especially since the incident with Ayan.
Still, Freyja wasn’t used to it.
"Why are you so careful around me?"
They were just having a meal, but it was as though he would do something to her.
Colton’s question made her laugh.
"Shouldn’t it be the other way around?"
He squinted but didn't speak.
Freyja ate her soup and said, "I’m just surprised."
He nodded.
"Because of Daisie."
It was more about his attitude toward her as long as she didn't hurt Daisie.She understood, nodded,
and smiled.
"It’s no wonder that Daisie is so innocent when she has such a protective brother like you."
She was like a girl who didn’t know the evils of the world and still had a unique and rare innocence.
Colton looked at her but didn’t say anything.He knew about her situation.
He had been under the impression that she had a motive when she approached Daisie, and since she
was Ken's sister, he didn’t like her.She was at most his sister’s best friend.
Daisie cared about her, and Freyja helped them a lot, so there was no need for him to be hostile toward
her.
"She trusts easily."
Colton’s words carried a hidden message.
"Lisa was a good example, and now there was Ayan.There shouldn’t be more."
Freyja was her friend now, but no one knew what would happen in the future.
People would change.
"Really?"Freyja smiled.
"I think she believes in her own judgment.Just because she’s sincere doesn’t mean she will get that in
return.However, that would be better than being deceiving.You can’t avoid touching ropes because you
were once bit by a snake."
Colton didn’t say anything more.
The night grew closer.
The lights lit up in the huge Knowles garden, flickering along the corridor and swallowing the darkness.
