She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 835:

“Don’t call me captain later,” Ellis reminded her. “Just call me Ellis.”noveldrama

Freya hesitated.

“Do you want to link arms or hold hands?” Ellis’s attention to such small things caught her off guard.

“Link arms.”

“Alright.”

The two of them chatted quietly as they made their way indoors. Without any unnecessary ceremony, Ellis brought her straight to meet his parents.

The moment Freya and Ellis entered, Caldwell and Kendra stood up with warm smiles.

“Mom, Dad, this is Freya Briggs—my girlfriend.”

“Hello, nice to meet you.”

“It’s lovely to meet you, too.” Kendra’s smile deepened as she looked at Freya and gestured warmly. “Come, have a seat.”

Turning slightly, she addressed her butler. “Would you bring us some coffee, please?”

With that done, she began making light conversation with Freya.

Ellis was slightly caught off guard by his mother’s enthusiasm.

Sensing his mother’s overwhelming warmth, he instinctively moved closer to Freya and took her hand. “I’ll show her my room first. You two can chat later.” He knew Freya wasn’t used to such enthusiasm.

“Alright.” Kendra didn’t object.

As she watched Ellis lead Freya away, Kendra turned to Caldwell.

“Freya is so beautiful, well-mannered, and sweet.”

“Doesn’t her name sound familiar to you?”

“Does it?”

“Yes.”

“Maybe Ellis mentioned it before?”

“No, he guards his secrets better than anything. If we were relying on him, we’d never know.”

“Stop overthinking,” Kendra replied gently, her elegance unmistakable. “Check with the kitchen again. It’s her first visit—we can’t afford to give her a poor impression.”

“I already checked,” Caldwell replied, thinking she was going a bit overboard. “Everything’s fine, don’t worry.”

Ellis had already brought Freya into his room.

Though he rarely returned, the space was spotless, clearly cleaned on a regular basis.

“I didn’t expect them to be so enthusiastic,” Ellis remarked as he poured her a cup of coffee. “They must be happy to meet you.”

“What about next time?” Freya asked.

Ellis blinked, a little thrown. “Next time?”

“You can fake it once, but not twice,” Freya said, taking a sip, her tone unruffled.

“What if they ask about us later?” Ellis hadn’t really thought that far ahead.

His plan had been simple: have Freya pretend to be his girlfriend once, then slowly win her over and make her his real girlfriend.

But with how things were going, Freya didn’t show any romantic feelings toward him—just that she no longer avoided him like before.
