As Johanna was speaking, she reached out to touch Freya's arm.

But Freya pulled away.

Johanna missed her chance, but still, a smile was plastered on her face. She said a bit hesitantly, "Freya, it's your graduation day. Why didn't Mr. Sutton come back with you?"

"Are you joking? Kieran and I have already called off our engagement. Why would he come back with me?"

Freya said coldly as she sat down on the living room sofa.

"Johanna, the engagement is off. It's pointless to talk about it. I can't marry Kieran."
