NovelApexChapter 1039: "You don't believe me?" "I do." Ellis lifted a brow, momentarily taken aback by her answer.
Freya spoke again, her voice solemn. "I'm too smart. Even if you tried to lie to me, I'd see right through you." A flicker of amusement danced in Ellis's eyes.
What a thing to say. He had absolutely no comeback.
The rest of the day, the two of them were practically glued to each other.

She knew Ellis well enough to guess what he was planning-he'd most likely take her straight to his parents' place the next day, leaving her no window to buy gifts. She wasn't about to hand that responsibility over to her bodyguards either.

Freya lingered inside, reluctant to open the door. Ellis, caround and opened it for her himself. "What's the matter?"
"I need to handle something first," Freya said, feeling slightly quilty for keeping benplans under wraps. "You go on ahead. I'll catch up in a sec." "Freya." "Hm?" "Are you still mad about yesterday?"
