NovelTrueChapter 1076: Ellis glanced over, noticing the wide space between them on the couch.
"Why are you sitting so far away?" he asked, completely casual. "Is it 'cause I didn't let you get what you want earlier? Are you really that mad?" Freya groaned internally and avoided his gaze. Why couldn't he just let it go? "Chere," Ellis said, voice gentle.
Freya clutched the remote like it was a lifeline, gaze locked on the TV. "I'm fine right here," she said coolly. "Got the best seat in the house." Ellis didn't buy the act for a second. He studied her, amused. Was she mad? Or just shy? "You really not coming over?" he asked.

“Wanna hit the supermarket?” he asked, sliding an arm around her. He could feel the tension in her shoulders. "Grab a few snacks, sstuff for the house?" "Didn't the housekeeper already take care of that?" Freya shot back, eyes still on the screen.
"Yeah," he said with a shrug. “But I wanna see if there's anything you want." "You actually want to go?" she asked, slightly surprised.
"Yep." ŁATést Çh Aptëяş ín GalпovεlŞ"Fine," she relented, still a little distracted.

"In a few days, we'll need to make sure you're eating better," Ellis said suddenly, his hand sneaking back to her waist for another pinch. "You're way too thin." He was curious how a woman with such a delicate frcould be so fierce in a fight.

Freya's brows knitted. "Why don't you just say it outright?" Freya shot at him. She thought he was being sarcastic again. "If you think I'm too small, just say it straight." Now he looked confused. "Small?” He raised an eyebrow.
"You know what I mean," Freya retorted.
There was a pause as Ellis processed the direction this was going. Freya was twenty-five and he was thirty.
my There was a bit of an age gap between them. "Are you saying I'm too old for you?" He still remembered her mentioning his age.
Freya froze. They were on completely different wavelengths She must have misunderstood his words and intent.
She quickly shifted gears. "I never said you were too old for me, shel muttered, brushing it off. "Let's just go before the supermarket closes." Ellis tilted his head slightly, still sensing something strange in the conversation, but he let it go.
