A Reasonable Explanation

Connor took a deep breath and walked back to the restaurant.

He knew that since things had already come to this, the worst outcome would be Freya finding out about his identity.

If he didn't go in now, it was very likely to attract even more suspicion, so he might as well face it head-on.

After entering the restaurant, Connor randomly found a seat and sat down.

After hesitating for a moment, Freya also sat beside Connor and asked him softly, "Connor, what's going on? Are these people really here for you?"

"Of course not..."

Connor shook his head and explained, "These people must have misunderstood my relationship with Thomas Morgan, so they came to curry favor with me. Actually, I don't have that much influence…"

"But…"

Freya no longer believed Connor's words. She opened her mouth to speak.

But at this moment, Tristan walked up to Connor with a wine glass and said with a smile, "Mr. McDonald, you're finally back!"

"..."
