Chapter 254

Crack! The sound of a sharp slap left one side of Kieran’s face noticeably reddened. Freya immediately pulled the blanket over herself, exclaiming, “Kieran! What are you doing, you creep?”

Jarrett heard the commotion and rushed in. “Mr. Sutton!”

“Get out!” Jarrett hastily exited, closing the door behind him after a single sentence from Kieran.

“Why on earth are you sleeping naked in the middle of the day?”

“Give me a break! I like sleeping in the buff!”

“You…” Showing he was in the wrong, Kieran’s face turned even darker.

Pretending to understand, Freya said, “Oh, I get it now. No wonder you’ve been making excuses for me not to move out. You were planning to make a move on me!”

“Me, make a move on you?” Kieran laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke. “What on earth do you have that I could want to make a move on?”

As soon as he said it, even Kieran doubted his words. Indeed, Freya’s figure was better than many women out there. She was also pretty attractive. It was just that Freya didn’t like wearing makeup. If she did doll up, she would be one of the rare beauties in Echo City. “Anyway, Kieran, you’ve really crossed the line! You owe me a decent explanation, or I’m ringing the cops for harassment!”

“Harassment?” Kieran couldn’t help but laugh at Freya’s indignation. Was she bringing up charges from decades ago against him?

Cutting to the chase, Kieran asked, “Did you go to meet Ronan at Taste Terrace?”

Chapter 255

“Taste Terrace? Never heard of it!” Freya frowned, retorting, “Mr. Sutton, if you’re trying to pin something on me, at least come up with a believable story. My leg is in this condition, and I can’t even move my hand. Where do I get the time to go to Taste Terrace?”

Hearing this, Kieran instinctively wanted to check Freya’s leg and hand. But by then, Freya had curled under the comforter, and Kieran’s gaze offended her again.

Freya shot back a glare. “What are you looking at? Get out!”

Kieran said coldly, “If I find out you went out with Ronan…”

“Then what?”

“I’ll break your leg.”

Upon hearing this, Freya couldn’t help but laugh. “Kieran, what are you to me? Even Audrey can’t control me, so what makes you think you can? We’re no longer engaged. Recognize your place!”

“So, you love bringing up our annulment of engagement?” Kieran’s brows furrowed. Ever since their annulment, he could tell Freya was overly joyous. That expression didn’t seem fake at all. She was genuinely happy.

“Yes. I’ve been looking forward to our annulment, Mr. Sutton. Didn’t you know that?”

“But before…” Kieran wanted to bring up how Freya used to chase after him. But the words died on his lips.

Bringing up the past, Freya said without changing her expression, “The past is the past, and now is different. I’ve said it. I used to like you, but I’m turning over a new leaf and will not chase after you anymore. It’s as simple as that.”

Listening to Freya’s heartless words, Kieran suddenly felt an urge to strangle her.
