Chapter 419 The Real Edward

There was a moment of silence in the restaurant as Freya stared at Edward in disbelief.

Edward’s entire demeanor had changed; he was no longer the sunny and vibrant young man he usually was. He sat there as if nothing had happened, but there was a hint of coldness in

If you were truly the owner here, the servants would have chosen flowers according to the owner’s preferences. How could they choose a flower that the owner doesn’t recognize?”

I deliberately ignored them. Perhaps deep down, I was being selfish and only wanted you to accompany me. So, I intentionally overlooked those clues. However, your recent mental state has been poor. Now, I have no choice but to let you go.”
