NovelBookChapter 984: After a heartbeat, she admitted, “Maybe it's a bit of both." "In that case, why not be my girlfriend?" Ethan offered without hesitation, as if it were the most natural suggestion in the world. "We know each other inside out, your parents approve of me, and mine adore you-so it'd be completely hassle-free." Alyssa's thoughts whirled, her heart pounding uncontrollably. "What did you say?" "Do I strike you as not good enough?" Ethan teased, his tone light.
That way, even if she refused, they could still remain friends.

"Being with you would mean waking up every day wondering if you're off with someone else." "Who told you I'd do that?" Ethan asked, taken aback by the misunderstanding. "I've never even held a girl's hand-except that one twhen those guys pushed two women my way. I got rid of them as soon as you left." "Who's to say you're telling the truth?" Alyssa shot back, her heart still fluttering. "Cto my place." "For what?" "I'll show you the video proof." Ethan had kept that footage just in case he ever needed to prove his innocence.
Alyssa looked at him, bewildered.
Ethan headed home, resolved to have this conversation alone with her. He couldn't stand the thought of her settling for Trent or Frederick.

After Alyssa and Ethan parted ways, Ellis and Freya also left. On their drive home, Freya suddenly grew curious. When had Ellis begun to care for her? And when had Trent realized? She decided to voice her questions once they arrived.
"Why have you been so quiet on the way back?" Ellis asked, guiding her to the sofa. “Is it because I stopped you from joining Greta and Riley as happy old ladies in a nursing home?" Freya was left speechless. Wasn't that just a joke? "No." "Then what is it? Tell me," Ellis said, settling beside her.
Freya pressed her lips together. “I'm curious about something.” "What's on your mind?" "When did you start having a crush on me?” Ellis paused, clearly caught off guard.
"Do you really want to know?" "Yes." Freya nodded with earnest honesty.
"Kiss me, and I'll tell you," Ellis murmured in that deep irresistible e voice of his. "Make it count."
Freya hesitated, torn between her desire for the truth and the act itself. In the end, she chose restraint. This secret couldn't stay hidden forever, she'd uncover it soon enough. With that thought, she rose to wash up before bed, casually saying, "Forget it. I'm not that curious."
"Even if you're not curious, you still have to kiss me," Ellis insisted, pulling her back into his embrace as she F tried to leave.
