Chapter 1058: And then-just to pour salt in the wound-he sent a message. "If you really want to marry Alyssa, show ssincerity. She deserves to know about the dead child." Ethan stared at the text, his jaw clenched. He knew exactly what Ellis was doing. Damn him! "Shut the fuck up!" Ethan shot back, typing fast. "It was a joke about your nickname! What's the big deal?" A dead child? Ellis was full of crap. It was complete bullshit. No response. Ellis had already silenced his phone and gone to sleep like nothing happened.

Ellis finished his call and noticed her frozen in place, staring at her phone like it had just delivered the world's most confusing riddle. "What's wrong?" he asked, walking over and wrapping an arm around her.
Freya blinked up at him. Ellis met her gaze. What was going on? "Your..." Freya struggled to find the words. "Your lover says she's pregnant with your child and you told her to get rid of it." Ellis stared at her, completely lost.
Freya handed him her phone without another word.
She didn't know who this Zoe person was, but she was sure it was either a prank or someone trying to stir up trouble. One thing she didn't doubt for a second-Ellis wouldn't cheat.
Ellis scrolled through the messages. It didn't take him long to figure it out.
"It's Ethan," he said, handing her back the phone. "We had an argument last night. I must've ticked him off-this is I just him being petty and trying to mess with us."
Freya nodded, her expression om clearing. "Makes sense The content isom novelenglish.net!
