Chapter 238 You Can Stay At My Apartment

Ellis responded, "I've got no plans to come back anytime soon."

Caldwell was stunned. "You little rascal Your mother and I barely catch a glimpse of you once in a blue moon, and now that you're retired, you're telling me you're not even coming home? I swear, if you don't show up. your mom and I are having another kid!*

Ellis stared at the message, then replied without skipping a beat, "If you're not concerned about Mom's health, go for it.*

That single line sent Caldwell into a fury, and he blocked Ellis on the spot. He'd see if Ellis had the nerve to stay away forever.

Ellis added, "I'm busy trying to win over my future wife."

He hit send-only to realize it hadn't gone through. Caldwell had already blocked him.

Ellis paused and thought his father was still so childish.

"Captain, we've arrived at your destination," Freya announced, pulling up beside a sprawling mall that blended shopping and dining in one sleek complex.

Ellis gave it a glance. "Let's head to the parking lot."

Freya blinked, confused.

"Let's grab a meal together," Ellis said, his tone light, his chiseled features relaxed. "It's the perfect opportunity to make a good impression on my future boss."

Freya hesitated. "Captain..." She felt like he was teasing her.

Still, she turned the car toward the lot.

To keep his phone from blowing up later, Ellis sent a friend request to his dad, then texted his mother, Kendra

Lambert.

Kendra responded almost immediately, "Alright, just focus on your business. Don't worry about us."

With that settled, Ellis felt at ease.

The meal passed without much fuss.

Freya had planned to cover the bill, but Ellis beat her to it without a word.

Afterward, Freya considered giving him a lift home, but he shook his head. "My place isn't in this district, and I'm not planning on heading back yet. I need to find somewhere to stay first."
