Chapter 337

But Freya had lived a life and knew who Calebโ€™s heart belonged to. For Eloise, Caleb would move mountains. Especially when it came to Freya, the woman who had stolen Eloiseโ€™s lifelong love, Freya guessed Caleb would probably relish seeing her in distress.

โ€œItโ€™s nothing, just some playful teasing among classmates,โ€ Freya couldnโ€™t wait to get away from Caleb.

Caleb blocked her path again as she was about to leave and said, โ€œDo you not recognize me? Donโ€™t you remember me at all?โ€

Looking into Calebโ€™s earnest eyes, Freya quickly shook her head. โ€œSorry, I donโ€™t know you.โ€

Hearing that, Caleb swiftly took off his face mask, revealing a face that seemed more suited to the big screen than real life. As a highly popular actor abroad, Calebโ€™s face was memorable. But this Caleb was no different from the one Freya remembered from her past life, so there was no surprise on her face.

โ€œIn Caleb. Freya, do you seriously not remember me?โ€ he said, his tone laced with a teasing note.

Freya said, โ€œYouโ€™re telling me youโ€™re that famous star, Caleb? Come on, stop joking.โ€

Freya acted as if she had never seen Caleb before and turned to walk away. But Caleb followed close, saying, โ€œWe met as kids. You stood up for me when I got bullied. Do you not remember me?โ€

As Caleb talked, Freya rolled her eyes, thinking actors really knew how to spin tales just to get close to someone. How was it possible she couldnโ€™t recall any childhood moments with Caleb?

An actor through and through, making up stories seemed second nature. Caleb could tell lies as effortlessly as breathing. If not for knowing the relationship between Caleb and Eloise, she might have taken a moment to wonder if she did know Caleb in her childhood.

โ€œSorry, but please stop teasing me,โ€ Freya said earnestly.

But with an injury on her leg, she was slow, no match for Calebโ€™s long strides. Eventually, Caleb blocked her path again.

Freya said somewhat helplessly, โ€œIs this the new way of hitting on a girl? I know I look good, but could you show some manners and not chase after me like this?โ€

Freya blushed a little as she said this. After all, if it were about looks, Calebโ€™s face was leagues beyond her own. Sure enough, her words stunned Caleb. He probably never expected to be seen as some street harasser. When he gathered his thoughts, Freya was already walking toward the school gate.

Soon, Eloise, looking around near the school building, asked Caleb when he returned, โ€œWhere were you just now? Werenโ€™t you waiting for me here?โ€

โ€œI just saw Freya.โ€

Bringing up Freya put Eloise in a bad mood. If it werenโ€™t for Freya, she wouldnโ€™t have faced that humiliating incident outside the principalโ€™s office.

โ€œAnd then?โ€ asked Eloise.

โ€œSomeone had stuck a note on her back. Ellie, donโ€™t tell me you did it.โ€
