“What does your family do?” Freya couldn't help but ask it directly.
“They run a shop,” Ellis said plainly. “Why do you ask?”
Freya wasn't sure if he was being honest. She'd heard whispers about his wealthy background, but nothing solid.
She wasn't about to pry, though. It wasn’t worth the trouble.
“It’s nothing,” Freya replied between bites. Then added, “If you ever need to visit your parents, just say so. No
need to apply for leave.” Since retiring, Ellis hadn't been heven once.
“They toldnot to cback until | found a girlfriend. Classic parent move, right?” Ellis was clearly baiting
her.
And Freya walked straight into the trap. “So you're not allowed hunless you've got one?”
“Mm.” Ellis’s voice turned playful. “Could you be my girlfriend so I can finally go home?”
“Ask Riley.” Freya completely missed the underlying meaning. She sincerely offered, “She’s bubbly and cute, and
everyone likes her. She’d make a great fake girlfriend.”
Ellis pressed his lips together in a subtle smile, his gaze dropping with a touch of helplessness.
Oh, Freya. She could be so clueless sometimes.
He suddenly wondered how Kristian had ever managed to marry her.
“Freya.”

“How did you and Kristian meet?” Ellis felt compelled to know more. “You coff as pretty reserved.”
At that, Freya paused.
A flicker of memory crossed her eyes—Their first meeting.
It had been two years ago, yet the image still burned bright in her mind.
“We first crossed paths at Nyx Club in Jeucwell.” Freya didn’t bother to conceal the truth—it was never much of a
secret to begin with. “At the time, my mom had just passed away. | needed to clear my head and breathe for a
while, so | went to Jeucwell. That's where | met him.”
A shadow of sorrow flitted through Ellis’s eyes—fleeting, subtle, invisible to anyone who wasn't looking for it. He
forged ahead. “And after that?”
“We had a few drinks and got to
talking.” Freya could still recall their
conversation with absolute clarity
“Afterw. dd reafiZed elas
Edie, well-read, and we

way of seeing the world. And he was
undeniably good-looking. So when he
proposed, | said yes.” The content is

Back then, Kristian had seemed like the dream. He was attractive, athletically built, educated, and aligned with
her values. Even after they married, he was endlessly patient—tender in every way.
