Chapter 189:

As evening descended, Elyse departed the rehearsal room clutching her violin case. Upon reaching the building’s exit, she discovered Freddy standing there, the sole presence in sight. The two of them had just exchanged greetings when Rebekah emerged. Seeing Elyse and Freddy together, she became instantly furious.

She stormed over and demanded in a stern voice, “Why are you so close to Freddy? Have you forgotten you’re married? Are you trying to seduce him?”

Elyse couldn’t help but laugh. “Have you seen me seducing Freddy? Are you saying that just because we spoke a bit more today?”

Freddy pressed his hand against his forehead. “I was just having a normal conversation with Elyse. You’re making it easy for people to misunderstand.”

Rebekah’s tone softened, but her discomfort was evident. “It’s just that you two were standing so close. I’m worried you might be misled by her.”

At this, Freddy’s expression turned stern. “Enough, Rebekah. What do you take me for? Do you really think I’d flirt with a married woman?”

“No, that’s not what I meant, Freddy. It’s all her doing,” Rebekah tried to clarify, but Freddy wasn’t interested in listening.
