She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 706:

Freya gave a small nod. “Pretty much.”

“How did he treat you after the wedding?” Ellis hadn’t meant to ask—it slipped out—but he couldn’t stop himself.

At the very least, he wanted to learn from what she’d been through. If fate ever gave him the chance to be with her, he wanted to know how to treat her right.

“Everything was fine—until the past six months.” Freya could say it now without flinching, though a faint trace of regret still lingered in her voice.

Ellis kept his tone light. “Next time you’re thinking of getting married, come to me first. I don’t think I look too bad myself.”

Freya blinked, caught completely off guard.

For the first time, she looked at him carefully.

He had that easygoing charm, an effortless coolness in the way he carried himself, with bold brows and striking eyes. His features were almost too perfect to be real.

For a split second, an image flared in her mind—stunning and unfamiliar. But when she tried to grab hold of it, all she could see was Ellis’s strict, serious face during training.

“You want to get married?” Freya assumed he was just caving to family pressure.noveldrama

“I do.”

In his heart, he added silently, “I want to marry you.” But that part, he kept tucked away.

“How about I organize a masquerade for this year’s company party?” Freya figured Ellis was simply eager to find someone, and as his team member, she wanted to help. “We could invite all the single men and women at Anita International who are looking for a partner. What do you think?”

“Sounds good.” Ellis gave her a few lingering glances before finally agreeing.

Freya thought it was a pretty decent idea, too.

Both Melvin and Ellis were single. Maybe it’d be their chance to meet someone.

When the conversation ended, they returned to their meal.

Ellis had barely picked up his fork when his phone began buzzing relentlessly.

He glanced at the screen, and to avoid the caller throwing a tantrum, he swiped to answer. “Did you get yourself beaten up?”

“Damn it!” Ethan’s irritated voice exploded through the line. “Ellis, you’re such a jerk!”

“Watch your mouth,” Ellis replied, sounding completely unfazed.

“A real man never lets a grudge go,” Ethan declared dramatically, clearly out for vengeance. “Just wait till you get married. I’ll install a virus on your phone that plays ‘I do miss you, my love’ every time you’re alone with your wife.” Ellis was at a loss for words.

“I’ll even use a voice changer to call you in the middle of the night and tell you I’m pregnant with your child.” Ethan’s threats grew increasingly absurd.

“Haven’t learned your lesson yet?” Ellis answered casually, but his tone sent a chill straight down Ethan’s spine.

Ethan stiffened, a cold dread creeping up like a blade to the throat.

But he wasn’t about to give in. He still had things he needed to know. “Enough with the nonsense! Who cleared the virus off your phone? And what the hell happened to mine?”

“Call it karma,” Ellis said coolly, offering no further explanation. “Do you really have to be this petty?”

Ethan growled, not quite ready to drop it. “Believe it or not, next time I see that girl, I’ll tell her you—” Ellis hung up and switched his phone to silent.
