Chapter 1228:
“Why not give her a ring?” Ellis said, his tone casual but firm. “Whatever she claims later, I'm sure this is their
little scheme. You'd be wise to steer clear,” Freya gave a quiet hum of agreement, her voice warm.
With a swift motion, Ellis slipped his hand into his pocket and cut the call, his face unreadable.

“If you erase every trace of me, the thrill of the gwill be gone,” Greta explained, picturing the frustrated
face of her pursuer when he nearly nabbed her. A sly smile curved her lips. “Look after yourself and that little
one. I'll swing by once the baby’s here.”
With Ellis by Freya's side, Greta had no worries. She knew he’d make sure Freya had everything she needed.
