The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 249

Kieran stepped into Taste Terrace’s grand entrance, its manager eagerly moving forward to greet him, only to be intercepted by Jarrett.

It was also Flavia's first encounter with Kieran in person. Given the Miller family's standing in Echo City, crossing paths with someone of Kieran's stature was a rare occurrence for her.

Realizing Kieran was more striking in person than in his photographs made Flavia's cheeks flush.

To say Kieran was handsome would be an understatement. He had the looks that could give any A-list celebrity a run for their money.

"Mr. Sutton..." Flavia stood up, ready to introduce herself to Kieran, but he just sat opposite her without a word.

Seeing Kieran was not in a good mood, Flavia sat back down, somewhat disheartened.

"My time is precious. Let's get on with it," Kieran stated plainly.

Jarrett brought over a cup of coffee, which Kieran took a light sip of before waving the waiter over to bring out the food.

Noticing Kieran's lack of interest in her, Flavia mustered her patience and said, "Mr. Sutton, your grandmother arranged this meeting. I... I don't know anything about you."

"I'm not one for many likes, but I do have a lot of dislikes," Kieran replied, his tone neutral. "Ms. Miller, if you’re okay with this being a business arrangement, we can proceed to the next point."

Flavia was stunned. "What do you mean by that, Mr. Sutton?"

"First, I'm not going to fall for you."

"Second, there's someone else I'm interested in."
