She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 837:

Once the laughter died down, she turned to ask how Ellis and Freya had first met.

Freya didn’t hold anything back—she recounted everything without hesitation.

The moment Kendra heard that Freya had once been Ellis’s team member, her expression clouded with concern. “Oh, you poor thing! Ellis is absolutely ruthless when it comes to training. You must’ve gone through so much under him, didn’t you?”

“It was manageable,” Freya said gently, hoping to put her at ease. “The strict training was really for our own benefit.”

“From now on, you must treat Freya well, you got that?” Kendra said, half-joking, half-serious, directing a pointed look at Ellis.

Ellis, clearly amused by the entire exchange, allowed a faint smile to tug at the corner of his mouth. “Got it.”

“Let’s eat first,” Kendra said, taking Freya’s hand affectionately. It was obvious how much she already liked her. “I wasn’t sure what your favorite foods were. When I asked Ellis, he said you weren’t picky, so I made a bit of everything.”

“I hope I’m not being a bother,” Freya replied with a courteous smile.

As the meal began, Freya found herself seated between Kendra and Ellis.

In the beginning, everyone focused on eating, while Kendra took time to explain the sentimental meaning behind each dish to Freya. After a while, she began shooting subtle looks at Ellis. Regrettably, Ellis remained oblivious.

Eventually, unable to stay silent, Kendra blurted out, “Ellis, serve Freya some food. There are a few things she can’t reach.”

“Alright,” Ellis agreed without hesitation.

Throughout the meal, Freya found herself continuously being served one dish after another. Thankfully, Ellis didn’t rush her—he only offered the next bite once she’d finished the last.

Freya tried to stop him, but it was pointless. Ellis simply said, “Orders are orders. If I don’t follow through, I’ll get chewed out after you leave.”

Freya didn’t question him. After all, he was her team captain—there was no reason to think he’d lie.

Once lunch was over, desserts and fruit were brought out.

Just when it seemed another round of small talk was about to begin, Ellis rose and walked over to Freya. Turning to his parents, he said, “She should get some rest. I’ll drive her back.”

“You’re not staying for dinner?” Kendra asked, clearly taken aback. She hadn’t fully processed his words. “Why not celebrate Christmas with us?”

“Mom,” Ellis said gently as he approached her, “didn’t we agree we were only coming for lunch?”

Kendra fell silent. She clearly didn’t want Freya to leave just yet. They hadn’t even had a proper chat!

“We’ll head out now,” Ellis announced, taking Freya’s hand as he spoke to his parents.

Freya offered a polite farewell, “Goodbye, Mr. and Mrs. Lambert.” Both Kendra and Caldwell stood there, stunned.

Even after Ellis and Freya vanished through the doorway, they still hadn’t come to.noveldrama

Caldwell, still clutching a pot of coffee, murmured in confusion,

“They’re leaving already?”

“Looks like it.”
