The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 196

Clad in a simple white bathrobe, Kieran descended the stairs to find the fridge stocked with several simple dishes. However, he immediately knew they weren't Freya's cooking.

At that moment, his mind wandered back to when Freya stayed with the Sutton family, crafting varied and delicious meals thrice a day, fearing he might lose his appetite. Whether he ate or not often depended on his mood. But it seemed like begging wouldn't even get Freya to cook! The thought made him lose his appetite and he wound up shutting the fridge door with a flick of his wrist.

Noticing the situation, Jarrett inquired, "Mr. Sutton, don't these dishes suit your taste?"

"What do you think?" Kieran's mood was sour.
