Chapter 1198:
“I won't keep you two any longer, or Ellis might start sulking,” Kendra said as she held Freya's hand. “Cvisit
whenever you can. I'll prepare all your favorite dishes.”
“I would love that,” Freya replied, her eyes shining with genuine joy.
Not long after, Caldwell showed up in person to pick up Kendra. Freya and Ellis stood and watched the car pull
away, only heading back inside once the taillights disappeared.
A little after 5 p.m., Ethan called. The reason was simple—he wanted to let Ellis know about his upcoming
wedding.
After hearing the location, Ellis responded flatly, “I can’t make it.”
“Why not?”
“I'm not allowed to leave the country freely for the next two years.”
“Didn't you go abroad last time?”
“That trip was under a special application,” Ellis replied, still holding a quiet grudge over the half-truths that had
been told. “I can’t apply twice in one year.”
“It's my wedding. Alyssa and | are getting married—are you seriously not coming?”

“Not coming. Congratulations and best wishes.” Ellis said before hanging up.
“Damn it!” Ethan cursed, turning to Alyssa in frustration. “Alyssa, Ellis isn’t coming!”
“Serves you right. Last time, when you told Caldwell about their proposal, you left out that Ellis was proposing
too,” Alyssa replied, not missing a beat. “This is what they call karma.”
Ethan blinked. Was that really his fault? He had just wanted Ellis to get chewed out a little when he got home.
As all this spun in his mind, he bombarded Ellis with messages. Ellis ignored them completely.
When he saw Freya quietly slip into their room, he stashed his phone away and followed.
He needed to ask her something: why, over the past few nights, had she not let him sleep beside her? Spending
the day with Kendra was fine, but not even letting him stay at night? That crossed the line.

Freya felt a flicker of unease when she laid eyes on Ellis, and her voice wavered with a trace of guilt as she said,
“Why are you up here?”
“You owean explanation.”
Freya blinked, bewildered.
