She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 282 Could You Be My Girlfriend

Freya couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for Ellis's friend.

Out of all the reckless things he could've done, he just had to go and pick a fight with Ellis. What on earth was he thinking?

Ellis didn't bother dodging Freya. Right there in the study, he pulled up his contacts and dialed that paragliding instructor without a second thought.

The call connected, and Ethan's unhinged laughter came blaring through the speaker, along with his smug, self-satisfied voice. "Yo! How about that little tune I left you? Catchy, huh?"

Ellis switched the call to speaker mode. "Feeling proud of yourself?"

"You tell me! Take me out for a fancy meal and say you're sorry. Admit you

messed up, and maybe I'll have

someone fix your phone for you. Otherwise, that thing's toast."

Ellis didn't say a word. He simply waited, letting Ethan finish strutting around like a peacock.

He knew some people only learnt when they were teetering on the edge of disaster.

"Oh, and FYI? Resetting or flashing the phone won't do squat. Virus is here to stay." He just kept bragging.

In that deluded head of his, Ellis had probably yanked out the SIM card and was calling using another phone.

It never even crossed Ethan's mind that Ellis had someone on his side who could solve his problem.

Ellis asked, "Where are you right now?"

"North Avenue. Why, coming to beat me up?" Ethan sounded positively giddy.

"Too bad for you-I'm heading

out soon. No way you're catching me."

"Mm." Ellis ended the call.

He did a quick calculation, then told Freya, "Set it to trigger at six. And besides what he just said, add another

line: 'Too bad. You can't catch me. Hahaha.""

"That's the paragliding instructor from earlier, right?" Freya thought the voice rang a bell.

Ellis nodded. "Yeah."

"You told me you'd only met him a few days before I did." Freya shot him a look, calling him out without

hesitation.

Ellis answered smoothly, "Let's just say I never wanted to meet him at all."
