NovelTrueChapter 1057: A moment later, Freya disappeared into her room.
Ellis sat back at his desk, half-heartedly opening his laptop. But then her words about starting preconception planning echoed in his mind. Proposal. Engagement. Marriage. If they did it quickly, the whole process could wrap in six months. Maybe less.
His hand hovered over the keyboard... then he shut the laptop. No point staying up late. He had to be in good shape to give Freya a child when she was ready.

Ethan's voice cthrough, practically dripping with smug satisfaction.
"Alyssa toldFreya's been asking about your nickname." Ellis didn't say a word, but his gaze darkened. Dangerous.
Ethan kept going, clearly enjoying himself. "What do you think? Should I tell her?" He burst out laughing, full of himself. "Honestly, it's kinda adorable. Has a nice ring to it." Ellis's voice was calm—too calm. "Then why don't you take it?" "Nah," Ethan chuckled. "I'm not that cruel. A true gentleman doesn't steal another man's shame." He was laughing so hard now that he could barely breathe.
Ellis just smiled-that slow, charming, something's-about-to-go-down kind of smile. Yeah, Ethan was asking for it. Totally unaware of the storm heading his way.
"Con," Ethan said, still wheezing. "Say something nice to me. Beg a little, and maybe I'll keep quiet." Ellis leaned back, his voice cool as ice. "I heard you and Alyssa are an item now." "Of course!" Ethan said proudly.

Ethan was puzzled for a moment. “What the hell are you talking about?" He might have flirted a few times in the past, but nothing serious.
"If I say it happened, then it did," Ellis said simply. The pressure in his voice was subtle-but brutal.
It suddenly clicked. "Wait... are you trying to frme?" Ellis didn't even flinch. "Alyssa will believe anything I feed her." A direct hit.
Ethan practically exploded. Damn Ellis! Always so manipulative. He quickly tapped the call recording. "Don't be too cocky. Alyssa is smart enough to tell when you're bluffing." "Oh, and by the way," Ellis added smoothly. "Are you recording this call?" Ethan was stunned. How the hell did he know?
"Anyway, if you wanna tell Freya about the nickname, go ahead,” Ellis said, totally unfazed Hedian Pcare. He was going to tell her soon. "But don't think you can use it to hold anything over me. I won't hesitate to tell Alyssa about your past."
Ethan scoffed. "You're full of crap." He was losing it. He always knew Ellis could be cold, calculated- devious when he wanted. But this? This was straight-up ruthless.
Ellis's voice was calm and deliberate.
I "Alyssa and I grew up together She has the right to know about your wild past." "You really know how to spin a tale," Ethan snapped, barely holding it together.
Ellis didn't respond. He just hung up.
