Chapter 189

Jarrett strolled in, unable to contain himself. โ€œMs. Dawsonโ€ฆ she wrecked the lucky tree by the door on her way out?โ€

โ€œLet her wreck it.โ€

โ€œExcuse me?โ€ Jarrett was shocked. โ€˜Let her wreck it?โ€™

Kieran wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stating, โ€œHead over to the Dawson family, bring Freya back here, and tell them itโ€™s on my orders. Without my permission, sheโ€™s not allowed to go anywhere.โ€

โ€œMr. Sutton, wouldnโ€™t that be improper? Wonโ€™t it be a total humiliation for you if Ms. Dawson leaves again?โ€

When Freya left last time, Kieran was so furious that he threw away all of Freyaโ€™s belongings. Then, eagerly asking Freya to return, whether it was a matter of pride, should it spread, especially to Eloise, it would blow up into a serious issue.

โ€œJust do as I say! Are you not listening to me anymore?โ€

โ€œOf course not.โ€ Jarrett quickly bowed his head.

Kieran added, โ€œFreya is my fiancรฉe. Is there a problem with wanting my fiancรฉe to live with me?โ€

โ€œNo.โ€

โ€œThen hurry up, donโ€™t make me repeat myself!โ€

โ€œYes, Mr. Sutton.โ€ Jarrett quickly exited the office.

Kieran rubbed his temples, only then feeling a sting at the corner of his mouth. Touching his lips, he realized Freya had bitten him. He fumed. โ€˜This woman, is she a dog or something? Always biting people?โ€™

But then again, Kieran felt justified in his actions. He thought, โ€˜Kissing my fiancรฉe, whatโ€™s wrong with that? All Freya did was to catch my attention. She loves me! Thatโ€™s why sheโ€™s going out of her way to piss me off. Yes, that must be it. Perhaps, after being kissed by me, Freya was secretly delighted.โ€™

Thinking thus, Kieran paced back and forth in his office.

After a while, Jarrett returned. Watching his boss pace, he couldnโ€™t help but ask, โ€œMr. Sutton, Iโ€™ve notified the Dawson family, and, uhโ€ฆโ€

โ€œShould I apologize with roses or lilies?โ€

โ€œWhat?โ€ Jarrett was stunned for a moment.

With a serious look, Kieran said, โ€œEven though everything I did to Freya is something a fiancรฉ could do, itโ€™s still wrong to go against a womanโ€™s wishes. Order a bouquet for me and have it sent to Freya as an apology.โ€

โ€œMr. Sutton, I donโ€™t think Ms. Dawson will acceptโ€ฆโ€

โ€˜Besides, just a bouquet, isnโ€™t that too perfunctory?โ€™ That was what Jarrett thought, but he didnโ€™t dare say it aloud. Kieran frowned, โ€œIโ€™ve never given flowers to a woman before. It is the first time. She should be happy about it.โ€

โ€œButโ€ฆโ€ Jarrett thought, โ€˜But why do I feel Ms. Dawson receiving Mr. Suttonโ€™s flowers will make her anything but happy?โ€™
