The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret



The details of the case quickly captivated public attention nationwide, spreading rapidly through both traditional media and social media. Despite Nathaniel's best efforts, it was impossible to suppress the sensational story.

The latest court session saw Abigail's lawyer struggling to present sufficient evidence, resulting in a temporary adjournment.

The next hearing was scheduled for a month later.

To protect Frey from the relentless media and public scrutiny, Peyton decided to take her to a secret hideaway known only to the two of them.

The hideaway was a secluded courtyard in Brusville, difficult for anyone to find.

Peyton cooked in the kitchen while Frey, tired from cross-stitching, took a moment to enjoy the blue sky and felt her headache easing.noveldrama

"Frey, dinner is ready!" Peyton called, setting the food on the coffee table in the living room.

The courtyard had been renovated by the previous owner to include central heating and natural gas, making it convenient and cozy.

The courtyard had a pleasant design with a central living room. Peyton had bought it immediately after seeing photos of it, finding it perfect for their needs.

With the furnished courtyard, they only needed to move in along with their belongings.

Peyton prepared a simple yet delicious meal of four dishes and a soup. Frey had not looked at her phone for several days, heeding Peyton's advice to avoid any potentially distressing news.

Turning on the TV to find something to watch while eating, Frey was horrified to see news coverage of her torture being broadcast, complete with her screams and blurred images.

"Let's not watch this anymore. Isn't there any channel that doesn't air this kind of content?" Frey spoke.

Peyton quickly turned off the TV and awkwardly smiled. "Frey, I saw a few adorable cats at the pet market yesterday. I took some pictures for you. See if you like any of them if you do, we can adopt them all."

Frey shook her head. She could barely take care of herself, let alone pets. Being in her current state, adding another life to her care seemed impossible.

As they continued eating, a knock on the door startled them. Only Frey and Peyton knew about this place, so an unexpected visitor was alarming. Frey's heart sank as she guessed who it might be. Her suspicion was confirmed when she heard Nathaniel's deep, hoarse voice calling from outside.

It was clear that Nathaniel had been desperately searching for Frey since her disappearance. After her

Peyton opened the door hesitantly, and Nathaniel, looking haggard and unkempt, walked in quickly upon seeing Frey. Her vomiting and teary-eyed state concerned him deeply.

Peyton tried to block Nathaniel, warning him not to upset Frey further.

"Mr. Nathaniel, she's not in good shape. Please don't aggravate her," she pleaded.

Nathaniel's usually immaculate

appearance was disheveled, a testament to his frantic search. Koen and his team followed, having had a hard time locating them in the secluded area.

Koen gently tried to move Peyton aside, but she stood firm, not letting anyone in.
