Chapter 2497
Colton walked to the table and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Are you not going to take your dinner?”
Without raising her head, Freyja replied, “I’m not hungry yet.”
“Did you eat anything earlier?”
“Yeah. I ate something with Leia this afternoon.”
She was too focused on her, so she failed to notice the changes in the expression on Colton’s face. He did not say
anything anymore and left the study room.
It took Freyja a long while before she finally finished the way the murderer carried out his murder. She looked at
her phone and realized it was already 1:00 a.m.
She walked downstairs and opened the fridge.
However, there was nothing inside.
She was very hungry right now, so she cooked herself some spaghetti.
In fact, Colton hadn’t slept yet, either. He watched her silently from upstairs for a while before returning to their
room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter she finished eating her food, she returned to their room.
Colton was lying on the bed with his back facing her, so she thought he had fallen asleep.
She went into the bathroom to take a shower. She was moving very slowly and lightly as she did not want to wake
him up.
Just when she lay down on the bed, she felt something was not right. Spinning her head around to look at Colton,
she fell into contemplation and turned around to hug him.
However, Colton pushed her away.
“Don’t come near me.”
She was stunned and sat up. “You haven’t slept yet?”
He did not reply to her.
Freyja nudged him again and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Think about it yourself.”
She suddenly recalled that Colton had come to the study room to look for her this evening. Could it be that he was
angry because she had ignored him that time?
Freyja turned him over and lay down on him. “Why are you getting angry all of a sudden?”
Colton turned his face around, refusing to answer her question.
She tried to kiss him, but he avoided her. Freyja cupped his face between her hands and said, “I was busy with my
this evening. I wasn’t ignoring you on purpose.”
“Really?” he asked.
“Of course.”
“Then let me ask you, Freyja. When I asked you who you had dinner with in the afternoon, you answered
Leia. Are you sure it was her only?”
She was stunned. “And Norman too.”
Colton suddenly pushed her away and sat up. He looked at her and said sarcastically, “It seems like you’re very into
that aristocratic young man, aren’t you? Well, I can understand as well. After all, both of you have the same
interests. Besides, you must be tired of your own husband, so…”
Freyja pushed him down and looked at him. “Do you know what you are talking about, Colton?”
He harrumphed coldly.
Freyja leaned closer and continued. “So, can I say that you’re being jealous now?”
Colton set his jaw tightly, refusing to answer her question.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe chuckled and leaned into his arms. Swirling her finger on his chest, she said, “Well, you’ve done something like
this to me as well in the past, so we’re even now.”
He huffed, letting his breath graze past her head as he said, “I’m not jealous.”
“Really? Norman likes…” She purposely paused for a few seconds. When she saw the change in Colton’s
expression, she chuckled and continued. “My. Are you satisfied now?”
There was a momentary silence in the dark.
After a short while, he called out to her with his frosty voice, “Freyja.”
“Yeah?”
Colton suddenly turned his body over, getting on top of Freyja as he said, “If you want to get out of bed tomorrow
morning, you should stop whatever you’re doing now.”
It was only now that Freyja realized how scorching his chest was. After a short while, she landed a kiss on his lips
with a smile on her face.
The next day, Freyja arrived at the college in the afternoon. She was wearing a scarf today.
When Leia came out of her class and saw Freyja, she hurriedly went up to her. “Freyja.”
Seeing how panicky she was, Freyja asked, “What’s wrong?”
Leia said, “Someone has spread the word about Norman sending you a love letter. The rumors about Norman
courting you are now going around the whole campus.”
