The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday

Chapter 271

Hearing Kieran say that, Kara immediately stood up, her words tumbling out in a flurry of defense, "Mr. Sutton, it's not like that. My aunt isn't that kind of person! It was my own decision to repay Mr. Sutton. It has nothing to do with my aunt!" The sincerity in Kara's eyes was unmistakable.

Seeing how Kieran had flustered Kara, Audrey stepped in and gently pulled Kara to her side, saying, "Now, now, there's no need for that tone. I find Kara here to have a wonderful nature, and I've taken quite a liking to her. From now on, I'll keep Kara by my side to look after me. Since Freya Dawson has moved out, I'll be returning to live here. If you don't want Kara looking after you, then she can look after me. It's still a way of repaying a kindness."

Audrey's words were a clear display of her fondness for Kara.

Seizing the opportunity, Kara quickly said, without giving Kieran a chance to respond, "If the lady of the house wouldn't mind, I'd be more than willing to look after her."

"Well, that settles it then. I'll have you stay," Audrey declared, patting Kara's hand.

By the time Audrey stopped talking, Kieran couldn't find a way to disagree.

Just as he was about to head upstairs, Kara added, "I've prepared a hot bath for you, Mr. Sutton, and also cooked some of your favorite dishes. If Mr. Sutton doesn't mind... The dishes my cousin used to make, I can make them too." "You can?"

Kieran's interest was suddenly piqued. Since the engagement party, he hadn't had a chance to try Freya's cooking.

Kara nodded eagerly, "Yes, I can. Maybe Mr. Sutton would like to try them."
