NovelApexChapter 1042: "What do you think, Freya?" Kendra turned to Freya, expecting backup.
Freya pressed her lips together and nodded slowly. "Honestly? You've got a point." Ellis let out a low chuckle.
Kendra shot him a look. "What's funny?" Even angry, she maintained that graceful, composed air-like a poet calmly delivering a sharp line. “Did I say something wrong?" Ellis didn't answer. "I'll go check the kitchen,” he said, slipping away before she could drag him into it.

Freya rubbed her nose, a little uneasy. Was he... annoyed? Just as she was overthinking it, her phone buzzed—a custom notification. While Caldwell and Kendra were deep in conversation again, she peeked at her screen. It was a message from Ellis, which read, "Marriage isn't as good as finding a soulmate, huh?"
