Twins and Ex-wife novel Chapter 168

Freya used to think that Kieran didn’t have any feelings for Regina because she had seen how indifferent Kieran was when he texted Regina, as if Regina really didn’t have anything to do with him.

But now, she couldn’t continue to think it that way. Last night, Kieran left after receiving Regina’s phone call.

She didn’t want to think too much about it, but even if she didn’t, she knew in her heart that he must have gone to Regina after receiving her call. And something must be up.

Moreover, Regina was still his fiancée, and they were going to be engaged next month.

What about her? She was at best his ex-wife, and she had been divorced with him before they even met.

Freya knew that she had decided to keep dating and to draw a line between her and Kieran. Whoever he wanted to engage or even marry had nothing to do with her, but she just couldn’t help feeling sad.

Since he already had a woman he loved, why did he act like he was deeply in love with her?

Could it be that he wanted her to be his mistress?

Thinking of this, Freya became even more depressed. She directly turned her face aside and avoided eye contact with Kieran.

Hearing what she said, Stephen became more confident. He raised his chin and said, “Yes, Freya would never be your mistress!”

“Freya, you should be with me. I was a bit of a jerk before, but I don’t have a fiancée! As long as you are willing to accept me, I promise, from now on I will only love you!”

Then he stepped forward and wanted to take Freya’s hand.

This time, he was confident. Since Freya knew Kieran was about to be engaged, she would have to choose another man and would certainly pick him.

Before he could touch Freya, his body was once again thrown away by Kieran.

“Coleman, who said I was getting engaged?!”

Before Stephen could speak, Kieran said again in a cold voice, “Get out! Or I'll break your legs right now!”

Kieran did not sound like he was joking at all. Stephen's body shook and he did not want to be humiliated in front of Freya. But there was nothing he could do now.

Stephen struggled for a while and walked out with that big handful of lilies.

Today wasn’t his day. He finally had the chance to meet her on a blind date, and then he met Fitz. Next time he must wait until Fitz was not around to go out with Freya.

The moment Stephen left, Kieran clutched Freya’s hand tightly, and Freya didn’t want to be so intimate with a married man so she tried to break his grip.

Kieran didn’t give Freya a chance to escape and clutched her hand a little tighter.

“Freya, I’m not getting engaged.”

He paused for a second and said, “Freya, I never wanted you to be my mistress. You are my wife.”

“Mr. Fitzgerald, don’t make fun of me, okay? The two of us don’t belong with each other. I just want to live a simple life and find an ordinary man to marry. Why can’t you just leave me alone?!”

Freya took a deep breath and then said, “What’s more, you are my elder. Like I said, I’ll never date my elder. Mr. Fitzgerald, please leave me alone!”

“Freya, I’m not your elder, I’m your husband!”

Kieran had always been shy about words, but he knew that today he had to be clear with Freya. If he couldn’t get Freya to break through the barrier in her head, she would never be able to accept him.

“Freya, you have feelings for me. You don’t want to accept me just because you can’t get over that barrier in your head, right?”

“I...”

Freya really wanted to tell him that she didn’t love him, but she couldn’t really say that.

Seeing Freya like that, Kieran was even more sure that she loved him. He stared into her eyes and said, “Freya, I love you too. Since we have feelings for each other, you should give us a chance.”

Saying all those words had reached his limit. He would never expect himself to try so hard for a woman.

Give them a chance?

Freya didn’t respond immediately and her head was in chaos.

She admitted that she wasn’t cool enough to ignore other people’s opinions. She was afraid that people would point fingers at her children and said that she and their father were committing incest.

What’s more, she was lack of confidence. There were so many women who wanted him and she was worried that she might get hurt once she found out he wasn’t that into her.

Freya closed her eyes and then looked at him again. Maybe it was because Remy hurt her so bad five years ago that she had built her walls up and refused to admit how she felt.

But no one could live their whole life pretending to be someone else. You had to face yourself in the mirror.

After a long time of silence, Freya said softly, “Mr. Fitzgerald, give me some time to think about it.”

Perhaps she should be brave for herself once, regardless of what the world might say.

She had been fooled before but not every man on this planet was a scum. She couldn’t be such a coward for the rest of her life.

Kieran stopped pushing her and looked at her in a loving way, “Okay.”

This time, she didn’t choose to run away or turn him down again and it was already great progress for her. As long as he took his time and did it step by step, she would eventually come back to him.

“Freya, let’s go for a walk.” They could be just like a couple wandering in the velvet night.

In the past, Kieran never cared to do this kind of thing just to please a woman. But now, he wanted to do that with Freya and started a family with her.

Before Freya could refuse, he already took her hand and walked outside the cafe.

The night breeze was a bit cold but Freya could feel the heat of his warm hand.

Freya lowered her head and saw how Kieran’s and her hands were clenched together. Tonight, she didn’t let go of his hand and she would never let go again in the future.

Freya was lost in her own thoughts when her phone suddenly started ringing. It was Seth. His voice was filled with anxiety, “Boss, I’m so sorry, I didn’t take good care of your babies. They were kidnapped!”
