Jarrett's words snapped Kieran back to reality. "What are you waiting for? Turn the car around now!"
"Yes, Mr. Sutton." Without hesitation, Jarrett executed a swift U-turn.
As Kieran's headlights pierced the darkness, they saw Freya and Preston stepping into a car outside Echo City University, one after the other.
Kieran's expression darkened immediately.
Jarrett, who was behind the wheel, was also taken aback when Preston glanced their way before getting into his car, as if deliberately trying to provoke them.
Kieran looked even more upset. Jarrett ventured, "Mr. Sutton... maybe we should..."
"Let's go!" Kieran cut him off sharply, "From now on, I have nothing to do with Freya!"
Seeing Kieran so enraged, Jarrett swallowed the words he had intended to say in Freya's defense.
By then, Freya had gotten into Preston's car, and Preston had undressed his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
Freya hugged the jacket around herself and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tyler. I'll wash it and return it to you tomorrow."
"Just toss it. I don't wear clothes someone else has worn," Preston replied indifferently.
Freya smiled at him, saying nothing more.
"But Kieran saw you getting into my car," Preston mentioned nonchalantly.
