She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 710:

She hadn’t forgotten what was said in the group chat last time. Ellis had brought Freya breakfast. Who would believe he was just being nice? There had to be a trap for Freya.

Ellis looked confused. His gaze swept the curious faces before landing on Riley. “What are you talking about?”

“Oh, please. We all know you brought Mina breakfast last time,” Riley said boldly. “If she hadn’t gotten on your nerves, would you really have done that?”

Greta and Riley knew the real story but kept up the act. They just wanted Ellis to drop any idea of giving Freya a hard time.

“What’s wrong with bringing her breakfast?” Ellis replied lazily, his tone as smooth as ever. “Who says an employee can’t bring their boss breakfast?”

The group stared at him in silence. Ellis was a master of deflection. What a way to dodge the question.

“It’s understandable for staff to bring their boss breakfast,” Moss remarked, tossing in his two cents. “But Captain, be honest with yourself—were you really just being thoughtful when you brought breakfast for Mina? Or have you conveniently forgotten that time you handed me a bottle of water and then made me run ten kilometers strapped with extra weight?”

“And the time you gave me food, only to triple my training session right after?” Cade chimed in, not missing his moment to add fuel to the fire.

Ellis leaned back in his chair, his tone light and laced with mischief as he raised a brow. “So what I’m hearing is… you two have a bone to pick with me?”

Moss froze mid-breath.

Cade went stiff as a board.

Uh-oh!

A chill tiptoed down their spines, and their hearts thudded like warning drums. They’d walked right into it—hook, line, and sinker.

“So you are planning to put Mina through the wringer?” Greta concluded, narrowing her eyes.

Before Ellis could respond, Freya—half-asleep and only catching fragments of the chatter—sat up abruptly. Her gaze was bleary, her voice soft and adorably indignant. “Captain, didn’t you say you’d let it go? Why are you going back on your word?”

Maybe it was the lingering buzz from the alcohol, but her sleepy defiance was so cute and earnest that both Greta and Riley couldn’t resist the temptation to pinch her cheeks.

In fact, they promptly did.

“All right, everyone. Let’s wrap it up for tonight,” Ellis said, rising from his seat. His long frame seemed even more commanding as he stood tall. “Head home safely. I’ll take Freya back myself.” As he spoke, he made his way toward her.

Just as he reached out, Freya turned to him and asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“I’ll explain later,” Ellis murmured, gently taking her hand from Greta’s side. His voice softened to a tender whisper. “Do you want me to carry you or give you a piggyback ride?”

Freya shook her head, her voice drowsy but stubborn. “I can walk on my own.”

“All right.” Ellis nodded, indulging her without a fuss.

Once satisfied she could manage, he turned to the others, offering some words of caution, his tone laced with genuine care. “Don’t drive. You’ve been drinking. Call a designated driver, and text in the group when you get home.”

“Oh, okay…” The others were still a bit dazed.
