The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 245

Kieran shot Freya a frosty glance. He did know the gears turning in Freya's mind- she was looking for an excuse to distance herself from him! Well, he wasn't about to make things easy for her.

"Kieran, Ms. Dawson has made herself clear. Let's not push her further," Audrey stated coldly, seizing the moment to sever ties between Freya and Kieran. "Ms. Dawson is focused on her studies, right? Let's rent her an apartment near Summit University so she can recuperate close to campus."

"Grandma, she..."

"Enough! We'll handle it this way."

As the matriarch of the Sutton family, Audrey had the final say. She quickly turned to Nancy. "Nancy, pack up what Ms. Dawson needs."

"Yes, ma'am..." Nancy glanced at Kieran, troubled.

"Grandma, it's late, and Ms. Dawson is injured. It's not wise for her to move now. I'll have Jarrett find a place first thing tomorrow, and then we can help Ms. Dawson move," Kieran interjected, his voice cold.

Audrey had initially wanted to boot Freya out ASAP, but given her injuries, it'd look bad to make her leave. So she grudgingly gave in.

"Ms. Dawson, come here. I need to speak with you." Audrey said it and walked to a sofa on the far side of the room.

Struggling without her crutches, Freya found it hard to move.

But Audrey had deliberately chosen the farthest sofa.
