The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 76

Freya locked eyes with Kieran and said calmly, "Mr. Sutton, you can't expect fidelity in marriage when you’ve been anything but faithful. Besides, we're not married yet. Nothing's set in stone. Whether I will marry you is still up in the air, so your anger seems misplaced."

After saying that, Freya stood up, offered Kieran a faint smile, and continued, "Remember when you and Eloise were cozy together, heh? I didn't make a big fuss about it.Since you picked me as your fiancée, you should've seen all this coming. I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of my business. You need to learn to tolerate me without losing your cool."

Freya was mercilessly using Kieran's words against him.

She recalled the first time she saw Kieran and Eloise together. They were so intimate. Kieran came over and told her, "Since you've agreed to be my fiancée, you should be ready for everything that comes with it. It's best if you don't meddle in my affairs. Your only job is to put up with it."

And Freya was throwing his words back at him.

As expected, Kieran's face darkened, his gaze on Freya filled with anger. "Freya, even if you and Ronan want your little moments, there's a time and place for it! Going after someone in front of the whole school and humiliating Ellie like that! Don't you think you've gone too far?"

Freya responded, "I've done what I did. What would you have me do, Mr. Sutton?"

"Apologize to Eloise and her classmates before the whole school. Should I need to spell it out for you?"

Faced with Kieran's blatant bias towards Eloise, Freya retorted, "Mr. Sutton, you come here with a whole entourage demanding explanations from me without asking what led to this. Why not ask why I felt the need to strike someone?"

Kieran answered, "What else could it be but those rumors? Ellie's already been cyberbullied. Isn't that enough for you? What more do you want?"

Hearing Kieran's words, Ronan couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up and interjected, "Excuse me for a second. Kieran, no offense, but are you blind?"
