Chapter 1455:
Gavin, a bit irked, said, “Hold on, choose your words wisely. You found out | was coming and popped up at my
place 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 explained, “It’s because our parents met at a function, and her family’s been over to my
place. That's how she knows.”
Elyse nodded, trying to piece everything together.
Freda, clearly frustrated, shot back, “It’s so obvious | 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 throwa bone here?”
Gavin responded firmly, “My stance is clear—I’m not interested. But you keep ignoring that.”

Undeterred, Freda insisted, “I won't accept 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 in later. | just want to head hnow.”

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, | figured I'd just ride with you,” Freda replied, her voice tinged with a
plea. “It's so late. You wouldn't wantto 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 sway. You need to sort your own ride.”
Freda’s plan had backfired, leaving her visibly upset. She had dismissed her driver hoping for more twith

Left behind, Elyse shook her head in disbelief. “That's so odd. Freda’s really latched onto Gavin. Has she
completely 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 gavea
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.”
