She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 792:

They both paused, clearly taken aback by what Ellis had just revealed.

“Have you won the woman over yet?” Kendra asked, genuinely curious.

Caldwell’s face took on a grim seriousness. “He has a crush on someone?”

“You didn’t know?” Kendra asked.

“You knew?”

“I did. Ellis texted me about it,” Kendra said, answering Caldwell’s question.

After that line was dropped, Caldwell’s usually composed, handsome features twisted in obvious irritation as he glared at Ellis. “You’re something else!”

What kind of son was this? Keeping his father in the dark.

“Not my fault you never accepted my friend request,” Ellis replied casually.

Caldwell nearly snapped back—couldn’t you just call me with a new number?

But he bit his tongue.

He had his pride.

“Still working on it,” Ellis answered Kendra’s earlier question.

“If you can’t even win her over after all this time, don’t call yourself my son. It’s pathetic,” Caldwell muttered disapprovingly.

But the moment those words left his mouth, he caught Kendra giving him a pointed look. He immediately fell silent.

The rest of the call went on quietly as Kendra and Ellis continued chatting. They asked Ellis about his job and daily life.

When the conversation ended, there was one thing that left both Kendra and Caldwell surprised.

“Ellis,” Kendra hesitated, worried she might bruise her son’s pride. “Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to be living at her place and relying on her for work?”

“Why sugarcoat it?” Caldwell finally jumped in. “He’s freeloading without a shred of dignity. It’s disgraceful.” Kendra fell silent.

Ellis remained completely unfazed. “Yeah, I’m living off a woman.”

“Don’t go around claiming you’re my son. I swear, I’ll donate every asset we have tomorrow! I won’t leave you a penny!” Caldwell barked, his face dead serious.

“Go ahead, I won’t stop you,” Ellis said lazily. “Even if I don’t work, she’ll support me. But if you donate everything, how are you planning to take Mom on those trips you keep promising her?”

Caldwell, so furious he couldn’t hold back, abruptly ended the video call.

Kendra, still eager to talk, glared at him, clearly displeased by his dramatic behavior.

“This son is beyond saving. Let’s adopt one from an orphanage and start fresh,” Caldwell declared solemnly, his hand twitching as if he longed to discipline Ellis. “Living off a woman and acting proud about it—shameful!”

“You can adopt if you want, but I only have one son, and that’s Ellis,” Kendra replied firmly.

The earlier revelation had certainly caught her off guard, prompting her concerns. But upon reflection, she realized that once Ellis inherited the family fortune, he’d have more money than he could ever spend. He was probably only living off that woman for now to stay close to her.

Ellis knew his parents would surely discuss things once the call ended, but he didn’t offer any further explanation.

Regardless of the wealth he possessed, he was indeed relying on Freya at the moment.
