Chapter 1193:
Ellis pressed, “So, what did you two talk about?”
Freya gave in. “Nothing major, | just shared a few ideas. Eventually, he decided it would be best to make it part
of an anniversary celebration for the proposal.”
Ellis glanced out the window as he tried to recall details. To be honest, he had no idea when his parents got
engaged. They had celebrated all sorts of anniversaries over the years, but he only remembered their wedding
anniversary.
“If you need help, I'm just a call away,” Ellis reassured Freya, his familiar, mellow tone filling the space. “Always
at your service.”
“That won't be necessary,” Freya responded without hesitation. “I'd rather handle things myself.”
There was a silent promise to Caldwell that she couldn't break by sharing more.
Already, Ellis seemed to understand the truth behind her silence. A gentle, almost playful look lingered on his
face as he teased, “You really don’t play by the rules, do you?”
“I've got something to take care of, so I'll head out now.” Freya decided it was tto end the conversation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDragging out the call would only increase the chances she would slip up. Ellis was too good at getting
information out of her.
“Hold on, don’t go yet. | have to fill you in on something.” Ellis recalled his mother’s words and figured he'd
better warn her. “She cacross your proposal and insists on staying with you for a bit. If that’s not what you
want, I'll handle it for you.”
“She’s planning to stay at my place?” Freya picked up on the first part right away.
“That's right.”
“Just the two of us?”
“Exactly. She wantsout of the house.” Ellis shared every detail. He figured Freya would likely go along with
Kendra’s request out of courtesy. But since she wasn’t one for entertaining guests, he thought she might want to
avoid the situation.
“So, when is she arriving? I'll cget her,” Freya blurted out.
Ellis hadn't expected her to say yes. For a moment, his handsfeatures showed a flicker of shock.

“What is it?”
“Are you?”
“What are you getting at?”
“Are you volunteering for chaos?” Ellis asked, a hint of mischief coloring his words. “Did | stutter, or is your
reception acting up?”
She had actually agreed. Wasn't she the one who wanted to spend more twith him?
“Kendra will be family soon enough.
