?Chapter 1220:


    Felipe’s tone changed in an instant. “I’ll shut up!”


    “You’ll ruin me if you breathe a word of this,” Felipe muttered, fully aware that Kristian was backing him into a corner. Still, he relented. “Farrah’s finally starting to soften towards me. If my parents get wind of our baby, everything will crash back to square one—or worse.”


    Kristian lifted his ss, his tone level but unmistakably stern. “Then keep that mouth of yours shut.”


    “Understood!” Felipe instantly mimed zipping his lips closed.


    Kristian didn’t respond. He merely went on drinking, ss after ss in silence. Felipe, catching sight of the distant look clouding Kristian’s expression, couldn’t resist tossing out a suggestion. “You know, I might actually have a n that could help you meet with Freya more often.”


    Kristian raised an eyebrow. He was genuinely doubtful. Was this idiot even his friend? When had he ever said he wanted to meet Freya more often?


    “Simple. Have a kid,” Felipe offered, clearly delighted by his own brilliance. “If it’s a boy, he can marry Freya’s daughter. If it’s a girl, she can marry Freya’s son. That way, you and Freya would end up inws.”


    “And if they’re both boys?” Kristian asked tly, as if questioning Felipe’s grip on reality.


    “Even better!” Felipe eximed.


    Kristian couldn’tpute.


    “Just have your son charm Freya’s son!” Felipe blurted without a second thought.


    Kristian looked away, visibly unwilling to pursue the line of thought any further.


    Not that any of it would ever happen.


    “What’s that look supposed to mean?” Felipe asked, feeling dismissed.


    “Compared to Freya’s child, your kid would be easier to win over,” Kristian said, the corners of his thin lips lifting ever so slightly, his chiseled features touched with a trace of amusement. “And she’s already here.”


    Felipe instantly panicked, “Don’t you dare.”


    “Try me.”

    Felipe said nothing.

    “If your brat so much asys a finger on my little Be, I’ll end you,” Felipe shot back, his tone fierce and unwavering, unwilling to let anyoney im to his precious daughter.


    “You’re this protective of your own,” Kristian countered coolly and reasonably. “Do you really think Freya and Ellis wouldn’t be the same? Ellis is even more overbearing than you are.”


    Felipe fell silent. There was no goodeback for that.


    “I’m just throwing out ideas. What you do with them is none of my business,” Felipe deflected, then added with a smirk, “Besides, you don’t even have a wife. Where’s this imaginary kid supposed toe from?”


    Kristian gave him a side nce but said nothing. His mind had been in knots earlier that evening, but after this long exchange, things had begun to crystallize. He’d made a decision. It was long overdue. “A marriage of convenience,” Kristian said out of nowhere.
