Chapter 40 I Liked You Seven Years Ago

She was in a mess; she knew that she was not compatible.

And she had lost hope in a love relationship; she had loved passionately before, but it ended up being the biggest joke of her life.

After having their meals, the three of them went to the seaside to take a walk.

Peyton deliberately distanced herself from them: Jacob was walking side by side with Freya. He dragged her arm and made her stop beside the fence.

"The scenery is nice here. I remember we used to be best buddies, but we've never taken a photo together before."

"C'mon, let's take a selfie!"

She was stunned, and she stood right next to him. Suddenly, he raised his hand and pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.

He pointed the camera at the two of them and said, "Smile, Freya!"

Freya forced an unnatural smile, whereas Jacob smiled brightly. He pressed the camera button.

He then lowered his head and put a frame around the photo. He muttered, "Freya, can I chase after you?"

Her eyes were widening.

He lowered his head and did not dare to look at her; he mumbled, "You hate Nathaniel, and you hate me too, right?" "After being released from jail, you chose to work in the Red Shift. You knew that I was a frequent customer there."

"You knew that I would pity you, and you knew that I liked you a few years ago."

"You knew that once I'd fallen for you, you'd be able to take your revenge on Nathaniel."

"Freya, let go of your past and the hatred; let go of Nathaniel. I'll bring you away." He turned and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Her hatred was forcefully suppressed by her, and she never expected him to expose her deepest thoughts.

She, Nathaniel, and Jacob had known each other for a long time.

She knew Nathaniel seven years ago; she was a freshman studying at a famous university abroad. It was spring when they first met, and she brought her back to Saeville in the summer. Jacob, her childhood friend, was back with them too.

They were always together as a trio back then.

She and Jacob used to know each other since kindergarten, and he was gone from Saeville for a long time. When he got back to Saeville, he was already Nathaniel's best friend. Jacob and she were always playful; they liked to make fun of each other, and Nathaniel would always smile at the side.

She never expected her beloved fiancé and best friend would band together and put her in jail.

She hated them; she wanted her revenge. But Nathaniel was so strong that no one could win against him in Saeville

The only way she could possibly achieve it was to get close to Jacob.
