Best Revenge: Being My Ex-Boyfriend’s Aunt novel Chapter 79

Catherine was finally free.

40 minutes later, she appeared at Freya's place.

The latter’s hair was disheveled. She yawned sleepily a t the unexpected guest. "Got into an argument again? How many days do you plan on staying here this time?"

"It's serious this time. I'm not going back there again.” Catherine changed into home slippers before entering.

"You’re kidding. You sacrificed your marriage and now you've changed your mind?"

She pursed her pale lips before forcing a bitter smile. " Not every deal guarantees profits. I'll think of it as a failed investment."

Freya’s jaw dropped to the ground. "Are you serious?"

"Yup." Catherine plopped herself on the couch. She still looked unwell and exhausted. "I'm tired. Really, really tired."

Freya frowned. "Have you caught a cold?"

"Yup.” Catherine fought back the tears that were forming in her eyes. "Everyone noticed it apart from him. I also wish to be cared for and looked after. Even i f he’s Ethan's uncle, I can't possibly earn Rebecca's

respect if he doesn't even like me. I don't want to take this upon myself."

Freya watched her closely and figured she had truly given up. They had been best friends for many years, after all. A sigh escaped her lips. 1

"Forget it, then. I respect your decision. Why don't you move in with me? I'm living alone anyway."

"It's not the best idea. You and Patrick still haven't..."

Embarrassed, Freya glared at her friend. "Stop it now. You don't have to have sex with your partner once in a relationship."

"But you've been together for a year." Catherine blinked back blankly. "I don't think you're the conservative type. Patrick must be the problematic one, then. Is he capable of that?”

"Of course he is!" Freya placed both hands on her waist. "We did it before alright."
