Chapter 2484
Leia walked to her side. “Freyja, are… Are you okay?”
She shook her head and could not even utter a word at that moment.
Leia stayed by her side and comforted her until Colton appeared. He knew that Freyja
would hear the news, so he rushed to the college to find her.
Colton brought Freyja to his side. “Thanks, Leia. Sorry to have bothered you. You can leave
her to me now.”
Leia nodded.
Colton got into the car with Freyja in his arms, and the car then left the college.
He brought Freyja to the palace, and just as Freyja was puzzled, Nollace and Daisie walked
out of the huge building. “Freyja, you should also go see Grandpa for the last time.”
Freyja clenched the hands that were hanging by her sides and quickly stepped indoors.
The people who came to mourn were all dignitaries and politicians in the main hall.
King William’s body was placed in a glass coffin, and his expression looked peaceful, as if he
was asleep.
Freyja appeared in the hall, followed by Nollace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe walked to the glass coffin step by step. Although she was not very close to her so-
called grandfather, she still felt a faint torment deep down when she thought that the
person lying there was her biological grandfather.
After the memorial service was over, Nollace handed over a stack of documents to her. This
is what grandfather left for you.”
Freyja was slightly startled, and after a long pause, she took it from him. “But why?”
“Because you’re his granddaughter as well?”
Freyja bit her lips tightly, squeezed the documents in her hands, and crumpled them.
Nollace did not say a word, turned around, and walked out of the corridor.
She stood alone in the empty corridor, mottled by the lights, and her lonesome shadow was
cast on the glass window.
In fact, even if King William did not remember having a granddaughter, she would not feel
too bad.
However, when Nollace handed her the will and told her that she was King William’s
granddaughter too, only then did she understand that her grandfather had never forgotten
about her.
Freyja lowered her head as if something was crushed in her chest cavity and then held the
documents tightly in her arms and against her chest.
She even had to hold back her voice as she cried.
Colton stood behind her. After a long time, he approached her step by step, raised his
hands, and grabbed her by her shoulders.
She was startled, turned around, and stared at Colton with tears still rolling down her
cheeks.
Colton took her into his arms. She lowered her gaze and buried her face into his shoulder.
He wrapped his arms around her trembling shoulders and said in a low voice, “Cry out loud
if you feel like doing so. No one will laugh at you.”
Freyja hugged him tightly and soaked his shoulders with tears.
After leaving the palace, Freyja did not speak since she got in the car. She leaned against
the car window, and her eyes fell outside the window.
The streets and alleys all looked deserted, but she still saw pedestrians holding their king’s
portraits, mourning him on the streets.
Colton took a glance at her through the rearview mirror. “You can cry all you want now, but
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlook at you. Please, don’t make Dad think that I bullied you before that when we get home. I
won’t be able to explain myself if that happens.”
Freyja wiped the tears on the corners of her eyes away. “Dad probably saw the news too.
He’ll understand.”
“I’m worried that if you go back with this crybaby of a face, your dad will cry with you when
he sees it later.”
Colton pretended to sigh. “You can cry all you want, and I can always coax you. But if Dad is
the one who cries, I don’t want to coax a man.”
She stopped crying and chuckled. “Since when did I ask you to coax me?”
Her gaze continued to be fixed on the scenery outside the window. “Actually, it’s just very
regretful that I didn’t even get to see my grandfather one last time.”
Colton frowned slightly and replied calmly, “There are always regrets in life, and no one
could predict when King William would pass away.
“You claimed that you failed to see him one last time before he passed away, so why didn’t
he summon you into the palace during his final moments? Is it because he had forgotten.
about your existence?”
