NovelBookChapter 982: Ants? That was ridiculous-they weren't ants! "Don't try to drive a wedge between Freya and me," Ellis went on, his voice steady and unbothered. "If any of you push your luck, I'll just send you all off for sold-fashioned boot camp." Instantly, they both went quiet. Riley finally found her voice, eyeing Freya with concern. "Mina, you shouldn't be with him. I'm afraid he'll run circles around you-you'll end up caught in one of his traps." Greta nodded with a sigh. “And if you fall for it, that's on you. You know you can't beat him.” "That's right!" Riley echoed.
"Break up now while you still can. Seriously." "We can all move into a nursing htogether when we are old," Greta declared, feigning earnestness. "Yeah!" Riley chimed in, trying to keep a straight face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEllis's gaze drifted over them, his posture relaxed and composed, as if he didn't have a care in the world.
Yet the lazy look in his eyes sent a ripple of discomfort through Riley and Greta-defying Ellis rarely ended well.
Turning to Freya, Ellis arched a brow. "So? Are you planning to join them in a nursing home?" Freya's pulse hammered in her ears as she shook her head with conviction. "Absolutely not," she declared.
If she agreed, she might as well write her own obituary.
here's the start: gal*no*v*ls*co*m Ellis's lips curved into an amused half-smile. "Are you thinking of breaking up with me?" She stiffened, her response immediate. "I wouldn't dare." He pressed, feigning surprise. "You wouldn't dare?" Freya lifted her chin, stubborn but earnest. "I won't." Ellis's lazy drawl carried over to Riley and Greta. "Hear that? She's set on growing old with me. Looks like your plan for the nursing htogether just fell apart." He recognized their teasing for what it was, and not a trace of annoyance crept into his voice.
Looking back, he couldn't help but think that if he hadn't confessed his feelings early, Riley and Greta might have convinced Freya to end up in a nursing hwith them.
The rest of the evening slipped by in lively chatter. Freya caught up with Greta and Riley, while Trent and Frederick bonded with Alyssa over shared interests. Meanwhile, Ethan nursed his drink in a corner, his mood unmistakably sour as he watched Ellis from across the room. When Freya and Greta excused themselves to take care of a quick errand, Ethan seized the chance.
He cut across the room, pausing in front of Ellis, his expression unusually grave. "Are Trent and Frederick really trustworthy?" he asked, his tone stripped of its usual teasing.
Ellis met his eyes with steady calm. "They are."
Ethan shook his head, unconvinced. "Something feels off" The content is of novelenglish.net! Ellis's brow lifted just slightly. "What do you mean?"
Ethan leaned in, lowering his voice. “Alyssa hasn't moved on from Bruce. She's still carrying a torch for him. Aren't you worried that Trent and Frederick might take it badly when they find out?"
"I've already spoken with them, and they don't mind," Ellis said without a flicker of emotion, his talent for nt form sounding utterly corvinding-even when he was inventing the whole story-truly remarkable. "They even said it's perfectly all right to have feelings for someone. If they really fall for her, they'll make sure she thinks of nothing else."
