NovelBookChapter 868: Ellis pulled the lowest card-a 4 of hearts. Greta had the highest, the Queen of clubs.
Ellis could tell what they were trying to do. But for now, he'd play along. He needed to ease into things.
"Truth," he said calmly.
Freya perked up. She hadn't forgotten his words. If he was in love with someone, why had he asked her to act as his girlfriend last time? Freya eyed Greta and said, "Why don't you ask him who his crush is?" Greta gave a quick "OK" sign and turned to Ellis. "You said you confessed to your crush as a joke. What was her reaction?" she asked, careful not to be too blunt, knowing full well the answer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFreya blinked, confused. Wasn't she supposed to ask directly who Ellis liked? Why was she dodging the real question? "She thought I was joking. She didn't take it seriously," Ellis replied, his voice steady.
"Why didn't you confess properly?" Freya blurted out.
She didn't notice the silent looks passing between Greta, Frederick, and Trent. They jumped in, pretending to be curious.
"Yeah, what if she would've said yes?" "Do we know her?" "What's her name?" Explore fantastic tales on galnov☐☐s;"Where's she from?" They fired questions at him like a pack of detectives.
Ellis gave a small smile, his brow lifting. “You really want to know?" "Yes," Freya and her friends answered together.
"This round's over. Askagain if I get the lowest and you get the highest," Ellis said, calm as ever. Freya glanced at Frederick.
He raised a brow, confused. Why was she looking at him? She coughed quietly and gave him a look, clearly signaling, "Givethe highest card." Frederick stared back, silently asking if she wanted him to cheat.
Freya gave a small nod. She didn't like cheating, but she needed answers. She had to know why Ellis hadn't confessed seriously. After all, he had everything: the looks, the charm, the background, and the heart. By all odds, he should've succeeded.
Frederick let out a cough and started dealing again.
Intentional or not, Freya ended up with the lowest card—and Ellis, the highest.
She blinked in disbelief.
Greta looked equally shocked. "Freya, truth or dare?" "Truth," Freya answered quickly.
"How would you react if a friend confessed to you?" Eliasked m casually as if it were no big deal. The e content is on novelenglish.net! Freya paused. "A friend?"
"Yeah. Someone like Trent, Frederick, Cade... or me." He rubbed the edge of the card in his hand, a light sweat coating his palm.
Freya responded slowly, "I guess it depends. If I have feelings for him, I'd say yesNf don't, I'd turn him down."
