The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 97

Freya halted in her tracks.

Kieran's voice was icy as he spoke, "Did I say you could leave?"

Freya looked at him, innocence written all over her face. "Mr. Sutton, is there something else you need?"

Kieran stood up and walked over to Freya. He reached out to straighten her maid's uniform, saying, "I didn't allow you to change out of your uniform. In the Sutton family, you are the maid. Stick to your role, or..."

"Mr. Sutton, isn't Audrey due back soon?" Freya raised an eyebrow. "You wouldn't want her to see this, right? It might not be the most appropriate scene."

Kieran scoffed coldly, "Trying to use Grandma to threaten me? Freya, you've overplayed that card."

"So? If it works, it works." Just as Freya headed upstairs, Kieran suddenly grabbed her into his arms.

The move was so unexpected that Freya frowned, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Freya, remember your place. You are my fiancée, Kieran's woman. I told Ronan today that you're mine to keep him from getting any ideas he shouldn't."

Freya tried to pull away, but Kieran's grip was firm. He said coldly, "If you're worried about Grandma finding out, don't be. I've told her I want us to spend quality time together at home to foster our relationship. Grandma was thrilled and decided to move out." "You!" Freya's expression darkened.

Kieran leaned in, warning, "If I find out you've been spreading rumors before Grandma, I might move up our wedding date. I assume... you wouldn't want to lose Ronan, your big catch, too soon, right?"

Freya's gaze turned icy. "Kieran,
