She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 840:

Freya kept turning over in her mind how she could help Ellis grasp the fundamentals of management more quickly. In the end, she decided she’d have to consult Trent.

It was just past three in the afternoon when Ellis pulled up and dropped Freya off at home.

She’d been planning to invite him in for a short rest before he left, but Ellis didn’t stick around. His reasoning was simple—once he officially won her over, then he’d visit her family properly. Now just wasn’t the right time.

Inside the house, Hugh and Ethel were lounging in front of the television, waiting for Freya to return.

Through the window, Hugh caught a glimpse of Freya chatting with Ellis beside the car. His curiosity was instantly sparked.

“Should we move somewhere with a better view?” Hugh asked Ethel. “I can’t get a clear look at Ellis from this angle.”

Ethel lit up, practically beaming. “He’s unbelievably hot! Absolutely charming!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“You’ve seen him already?”

“Plenty of times. Mina and I go to his place for meals all the time.”

Hugh was floored. How did he not know any of this?

He tried to find a better viewing angle, but it was next to impossible to get a proper look. “Do you think he matches Mina’s standards for a partner?”

“In the past, definitely,” Ethel said, her eyes twinkling. “But now? I’m not so sure.”

“Why not?”

“Because Kristian’s still in the picture.”

“What are you getting at?”

“In terms of looks, charm, and voice—they’re neck and neck,” Ethel mused, giving her personal take. “But Mina got burned by Kristian, and now she’s sworn off love. When someone’s closed that door, there’s really no such thing as standards anymore.”

Hugh let out a heavy sigh. What a mess.

While they were deep in discussion, Freya was already being ushered inside by Ellis.

She spotted the two of them loitering near the window and frowned.

“What are you doing over there?”noveldrama

“Watching my future brother-in-law.”

“Watching my future son-in-law.”

They blurted it out without thinking.

Then, realizing how that sounded, they both looked sheepish. Hugh cleared his throat and quickly tried to smooth it over. “I mean, he’s very good to you. That alone makes him a potential son-in-law.”

Freya headed upstairs with a quick, “He’s just my captain.” Then she went to her room to change.

When she came back down, Ethel bounded over with a cheeky smile. “So, did pretending to be his girlfriend go smoothly today?”

“It went alright,” replied Freya.

“Are you going to keep it up?”
