NovelTrueChapter 1067: Freya took Farrah and the baby upstairs to the second floor. The third floor was reserved for her and Ellis.
And even though Ellis had offered his own home, she still kept his room here stocked and ready.
While Farrah rocked the baby to sleep, Felipe found his moment. He cornered Freya quietly in the hallway, clearly working up to something.

His eyes lit up. "Really?" "Yes." Freya didn't hide it from him.
"Can you helpbuy it?" His voice was sincere. "Whatever the price is—I'll pay it." Freya didn't hesitate. "No." "Why not?" "No reason." Felipe frowned. "If you help me, I'll owe you. A favor-anything." Then he added, almost as a plea, "Please. As a father... I want to give something to my daughter." Freya paused, caught off guard. "You want to give it to Bella?" Felipe nodded. "Yeah." But in truth? It wasn't for Isabella. Not really. It was for Farrah. He knew her too well-if he said it was for her, she'd reject it without thinking. So this was the only angle that might work.
Freya narrowed her eyes slightly. "Letthink about it," she said at last-not an agreement, but not a rejection either.

"I don't want anything in return," he said. "I just want to give them something. That's all." Freya didn't respond. But as he walked away, she turned to head upstairs.
She knew she had to tell Farrah; such an important decision couldn't be hidden from her friend.
On the second floor, Farrah had just laid the little girl down.
The room was quiet and calm. Farrah noticed the look on Freya's face immediately.
"What's wrong?” she asked. “Did Felipe say something stupid?" "He wants to give Bella a house," Freya said simply. “Here. In this district."
Farrah froze. She'd been in the entertainment industry long enough to know exactly what this place represented. Living here meant status. Old money. Influence.
"This kind of thing..." Farrah's tone was calm, thoughtful. "It should wait until Bella grows up. If she wants it then, she can have it," Farrah added. "If not, then it doesn't matter." Freya nodded. She'd expected that.
There was a short silence. Then Freya shifted slightly. "By the way-there's something I haven't told you yet..." Farrah looked up, brows raised. "What is it?"
Freya kept her voice steady, giving Farrah space to take it in and decide for herself. "Felipe showed up on your due date I never told him when you were expecting-he figured it out and canyway. And before you cout of the delivery room, he hid. Didn't want to be seen." Farrah fell silent. She didn't say anything, but yeah... it hit her. She felt something.
