Chapter 539

Freyja spoke in a hoarse voice, “Baimo, we’ve been getting along really well, haven’t we?”

She stepped in front of him, tilting her head up to meet his gaze. Baimo was taller than her, his sharp features sculpted like a masterpiece—everything about him captivated her.

Baimo pursed his lips, memories of their time together flashing through his mind. It had been pleasant, undeniably so. Freyja was never temperamental and always considered his feelings.

But the weight of his responsibilities pressed heavily on him. He had to dedicate himself to the Yi people’s development, and that meant sacrificing personal desires. In the end, wouldn’t he just end up owing Freyja?

“Freyja, you gave your word—one month. A promise is a promise.” Baimo’s tone was firm, trying to dissuade her from hoping for more.

Freyja’s throat tightened, her heart clenching painfully. Hadn’t she proven her sincerity after all this time? Why was he still so stubborn?
