HappyNovelChapter 743:
“I already have one,” Ethel replied, catching on quickly to Freya's attempt to change the subject.
Meanwhile, Kristian and Ellis were strolling through the nearby garden. Noticing Kristian’s uncharacteristic
silence, Ellis asked casually, “Why did you lie to Freya?”
“That's none of your business,” Kristian retorted.
Ellis slouched lazily onto a nearby bench. “You don’t like me, do you?”
Kristian shot him a sidelong glance without bothering to answer. Why ask a question when the answer was so
obvious? Were adults always this fond of teasing children?
“Letguess,” Ellis continued, speaking in the tone one would use with a child, “you're sulking because Freya
talked toand not you?”
Kristian’s childish emotions were laid bare. He glared at Ellis, making no effort to hide his disdain.
Ellis wasn't offended. If Kristian had been in his right mind, Ellis might have poked fun at him, but right now, he
was no more than a five-year-old in an adult’s body.
“Stop lying,” Ellis advised gently. “Freya doesn’t like liars.”
“I don’t need your advice,” Kristian grumbled sullenly.

Kristian’s face clouded with displeasure. Did Freya find him so troublesthat she needed to rely on Ellis for
help?
“When we get back, I'll tell Freya to lettake care of you,” Ellis said, dragging out the words slowly. “She
should focus on herself.”
“No way!” Kristian exclaimed, his face twisting in protest.
Ellis arched an eyebrow, amused. “I'm going to do it anyway.”

“If you dare, I'll tell her you hit me,” Kristian threatened with a glare.
Ellis gave him a once-over, his look clearly saying, “You don’t even have a scratch.”
Kristian, driven by a sudden impulse, acted recklessly. He threw himself onto the ground, scraping his already
blistered hand until it bled anew.
“There are security cameras,” Ellis pointed out lazily, unbothered. “Even if you go back injured, Freya can check
the footage.” Kristian sat there, stewing in frustration.
Ellis stood, brushing off his pants as he said, “Let’s go home.”
“I don’t want you looking after me,” Kristian said stubbornly, getting to his feet.
“If I end up with Freya, your opinion won't matter anyway.” Ellis, ever casual, added in a soft, indifferent tone,
“When that tcomes, | won't just be taking care of you—I'll be Freya's husband too.”

Kristian glared at him for a moment before marching off determinedly. Even if Freya seemed distant now, he was
convinced that someday, he would becsomeone she could truly love.
Ellis followed behind at an unhurried pace.
