Chapter 256

“Yes, Mr. Sutton.” As Jarrett was about to leave, he added, “Mr. Sutton, I’ve found a place near Summit University. Regarding Ms. Dawson…”

Images of the words Freya had said to Kieran earlier flashed through his mind. “She kept saying we were over and that she had nothing to do with me anymore, right? Then let her go.”

“Let her go? But, Mr. Sutton, you…”

This morning’s conversation was entirely different. To keep Freya around, Kieran had even compromised by agreeing to a blind date with the Miller family. Jarrett swallowed the rest of his sentence.

Kieran’s moods had always been stable, but he’d become unpredictable since the fallout with Freya. Send her away. Just seeing her annoys me.”

“Yes, Mr. Sutton.” Jarrett turned and left the study.

Kieran leaned back in his chair, exhausted, feeling the pain on his left cheek. Images of Freya’s smooth skin and her blushing cheeks invaded his thoughts. He must be out of his mind to have been daydreaming about a woman like Freya.

At dusk, Freya heard noises from downstairs, indicating someone was moving things. Shortly after, Nancy entered her room.

Freya asked, “Nancy, what’s happening outside?”

“It’s Mr. Sutton. He’s sent people to move your belongings, Ms. Dawson. He said the new house is ready, and it’s time to move you there.”

“That fast? I thought they couldn’t find a place?”

“Well… I’m not…”

Boliwinkle. Sure about that.”

“Alright then, I’ll pack up myself. No need to bother you.” With that, Freya got out of bed.

Nancy was startled and hastily said, “Ms. Dawson! You’re injured. How can you get out of bed? Let me…”

“No, I’ve got this!”

Nancy was momentarily stunned by Freya’s response. Previously, Freya had been attentive and careful around Kieran, cherishing every moment she could spend by his side. But then, she seemed indifferent, even eager to pack up and leave at the news of moving out.

Eventually, Nancy stood up and said, “Well… then I’ll leave it to you, Ms. Dawson.”

“Sure.” Freya’s main concern was to hide the items Ronan had given her. She couldn’t let anyone from the Sutton family find them. Nancy left Freya’s room, sighed, and turned around to see Kieran.

Nancy took a step back in surprise, “Mr. Sutton.”

“Weren’t you supposed to help Freya pack? Why are you out here?”

“I… uh…” Nancy hesitated to explain.

Kieran, however, scoffed, “She must be panicking since she knows she’s leaving the Sutton family, right? She doesn’t want to go, does she?”

He should have known Freya was always saying one thing and meaning another. Confronted with the reality of leaving, she must be desperate.

“Not really.” Nancy awkwardly replied, “Ms. Dawson seemed happy. She started packing her belongings herself.”
