?<strong>Chapter 1455:</strong>


    Gavin, a bit irked, said, “Hold on, choose your words wisely. You found out I wasing and popped up at my ce way too early.”


    Surprised, Elyse raised an eyebrow. “I don’t even know where you live, Gavin, but Freda does. So, you two…”


    Cutting her off, Gavin exined, “It’s because our parents met at a function, and her family’s been over to my ce. That’s how she knows.”


    Elyse nodded, trying to piece everything together.


    Freda, clearly frustrated, shot back, “It’s so obvious I have feelings for you. Why do you act clueless whenever Elyse is around? Even your parents are aware I’m into you. Can’t you throw me a bone here?”


    Gavin responded firmly, “My stance is clear—I’m not interested. But you keep ignoring that.”


    Undeterred, Freda insisted, “I won’t ept that. I’ll keep trying. You might change your mind eventually.”


    Gavin was at a loss for words, caught off-guard by her persistence.


    Elyse, eyes wide with disbelief, turned to Gavin. “What’s this all about? Freda’s chasing you now? Isn’t that a bit out there?”


    She recalled how Freda used to be smitten with Theo. When did her affections shift to Gavin?


    Gavin hesitated, then exhaled deeply. “I’ll fill you inter. I just want to head home now.”


    Freda quickly volunteered, “Let me drive you.”


    Gavin’s face hardened as he declined, “I have my own car.”

    Undaunted, Freda suggested, “Then how about you drive me?”


    “Where’s your driver?” Gavin asked.


    “I sent him home. Since you’ve got a car, I figured I’d just ride with you,” Freda replied, her voice tinged with a plea. “It’s sote. You wouldn’t want me to take a cab, would you? It would be dangerous.”


    Gavin remained unimpressed by her theatrics. “If you’re avoiding a cab, call your driver back. We’re not headed the same way. You need to sort your own ride.”


    Freda’s n had backfired, leaving her visibly upset. She had dismissed her driver hoping for more time with Gavin.


    As Gavin quickly said his goodbyes to Elyse and made his exit, Freda tagged along closely, worried he might slip away.


    Left behind, Elyse shook her head in disbelief. “That’s so odd. Freda’s reallytched onto Gavin. Has shepletely forgotten about Theo?”


    Chloe, who had been listening, chimed in, “You mean Gavin Cramer? He is pretty cute.”


    Elyse couldn’t help but beam with pride. “Absolutely. He’s not just a looker; he’s a virtuoso with the violin, way better than me. And yes, he’s got a whole fan club to his name.”


    Victor tiptoed behind Elyse to whisper in her ear. “Who’s handsome? More charming than me?”


    Startled, Elyse spun around, clutching her chest. “Why do you always sneak up on people? You nearly gave me a heart attack!”


    Unfazed by her irritation, he crossed his arms and cocked an eyebrow. “Who’s the guy? The one you were just chatting with. He doesn’t look familiar.”
