Chapter 75

The crowd followed Kieran toward Aura Eats. In no time, the school’s entrance was packed with people.

“What’s with the crowd?”

“Don’t you know? Mr. Sutton’s here to confront his fiancée! I heard that Ms. Dawson’s been seen dating Professor Beckett!”

“Seriously? Given how strict the Suttons are, Ms. Dawson’s really stepped in it this time, huh?”

Freya had just sipped her sparkling water inside Aura Eats when a group of bodyguards burst in, ushering the other patrons out. Freya frowned. Followed by six bodyguards, Kieran walked in.

Freya was relieved that Aura Eats was spacious enough; otherwise, it would have been impossible to accommodate everyone. Kieran glanced at Ronan, then at Freya, leisurely leaning back in her chair. Finally, his gaze landed on the heart-shaped dessert on the table.

The dessert was untouched, and the restaurant’s promotional sticker on the table stated that a signature dessert, “Passion Delight,” was offered to every couple on Valentine’s Day. Noticing the cooled atmosphere, Freya asked, “Mr. Sutton, what brings you here in such a hurry?”

He coldly responded, “Don’t you have anything to say?”

Freya nonchalantly replied, “It’s just a meal with Mr. Beckett. Of course, that’s not something you need to concern yourself with?”

“Is holding hands necessary for just a meal?” Kieran retorted sharply. “Freya, do you think I’m a fool? Is it a meal or a date? Do I need to spell it out for you?”

“Kieran, I was having a meal with Mr. Beckett. If I recall, Mr. Sutton, you also have your fair share of social engagements, right? I can’t accuse you of dating just because you dine out with female clients, right?”

Freya added with a cheeky tone, “Plus, Mr. Sutton, I recall you’ve had quite a few dinners with Ms. Harwood, even celebrated her birthday.”

“Freya!” Kieran’s expression turned colder.

Unfazed, Ronan added, “Mr. Sutton, the whole of Echo City knows about your ambiguous relationship with Ms. Harwood. It seems quite special, huh? Since you’ve told Ms. Dawson your heart wouldn’t sway, why not go your separate ways? Why bother coming here to ask these pointless questions?”

Kieran glanced at Ronan coldly. “Mr. Beckett, it’s between me and Freya. Stay out of it.”

Freya added, “Kieran, I think Mr. Beckett makes a valid point. Going our separate ways isn’t such a bad idea.”

“Freya, dare to say that again?” Kieran’s gaze grew even colder.
