FakeNovelChapter 1047: "I know," Ellis said, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Just wanted to rattle them a bit." Kendra sighed. "Well, after that stunt, they probably won't show their faces around here again." She turned to Freya, a flicker of guilt in her eyes. "I didn't expect them to ctoday. If I had, I would've told the guards not to let them in." Then she took Freya's hand gently. "I'm sorry, Freya. You didn't deserve to go through that today." "It's alright," Freya said quietly. "You've already handled it." She paused for a moment, her voice softer now. "But... are you really not bothered by the fact that I've been married before?” In elite families, things like this usually mattered—a lot.
At least, from what Freya had seen, most families wouldn't be so open-minded. They cared about appearances, past relationships, status-everything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKendra just looked at her and said warmly, "What's there to mind?" She was sincere, not trying to sugarcoat anything. "If you had kids from your previous marriage, Caldwell and I might have paused for a second, sure." "Paused about what?" Ellis cut in, stepping beside Freya with a lifted brow.
Kendra hesitated for a moment before responding naturally, "We just want to be sure you're not rushing into something or acting on impulse." Ellis was an adult now, but to them, he was still a child-someone who might act impulsively for love or let his emotions cloud his judgment.
If this was just infatuation, it would fade. And then what? Would he start caring about Freya's past later on? Freya had already been through one painful marriage. Another collapse-another round of heartbreak-wasn't something she deserved. They had to be sure.
Ellis remained calm, collected, and somehow still gentle as he responded, "Have you ever seen someone act on impulse for years straight?" Kendra froze. She couldn't argue with that. He'd had feelings for Freya for years. That wasn't impulse-it was devotion.
"I love her," Ellis said simply, clearly, like it was the only truth that mattered. "Nothing else matters." Freya looked at him, her heart skipping a beat.
Ellis took her hand, then turned to his parents. "I've got work tomorrow. We'll head back now. We'll cby again soon." "Alright," Caldwell said, nodding. "Drive safe." They didn't insist that they stay longer-they knew the couple needed space.
Freya said goodbye, giving Kendra a polite smile.
But just as they were leaving, Kendra pulled Freya aside and handed her a sleek, high-quality envelope. She leaned in and whispered, "This has the answer you've been looking for." Freya blinked, confused.
Kendra smiled knowingly. "His nickname." Freya's eyes lit up. "Thank you!"
Kendra gave her hand a light squeeze. "Cvisitagain soon. And nextime, no gifts. I mean it."
Freya smiled and nodded, then om walked off with Ellis. The content is of novelenglish.net!
On the drive home, Ellis glanced at Freya, his dark eyes twinkling with suspicion. "What did my mom say to you before we left?" "Nothing," she said casually.
