The Bride Who Said No: Escaping the Shadows of Yesterday novel Chapter 337

But Freya had lived a life and knew who Caleb's heart belonged to. For Eloise, Caleb would move mountains.

Especially when it came to Freya, the woman who had stolen Eloise's lifelong love, Freya guessed Caleb would probably relish seeing her in distress.

"It's nothing, just some playful teasing among classmates." Freya couldn't wait to get away from Caleb.

Caleb blocked her path again as she was about to leave and said, “Do you not recognize me? Don't you remember me at all?”

Looking into Caleb's earnest eyes, Freya quickly shook her head. “Sorry, I don’t know you.”

Hearing that, Caleb swiftly took off his face mask, revealing a face that seemed more suited to the big screen than real life.

As a highly popular actor abroad, Caleb's face was memorable. But this Caleb was no different from the one Freya remembered from her past life, so there was no surprise on her face.

"I'm Caleb. Freya, do you seriously not remember me?" he said, his tone laced with a teasing note.

Freya said, “You're telling me you’re that famous star, Caleb? Come on, stop joking.”

Freya acted as if she had never seen Caleb before and turned to walk away.

But Caleb followed close, saying, “We met as kids. You stood up for me when I got bullied. Do you not remember me?”

As Caleb talked, Freya rolled her eyes, thinking actors really knew how to spin tales just to get close to someone. How was it possible she couldn't recall any childhood moments with Caleb?

Sure enough, her words stunned Caleb. He probably never expected to be seen as some street harasser. When he gathered his thoughts, Freya was already walking toward the school gate.

Soon, Eloise, looking around near the school building, asked Caleb when he returned, “Where were you just now? Weren’t you waiting for me here?”

“I just saw Freya.”

Bringing up Freya put Eloise in a bad mood. If it weren't for Freya, she wouldn't have faced that humiliating incident outside the principal's office.

“And then?” asked Eloise.

“Someone had stuck a note on her back. Ellie, don’t tell me you did it.”
