She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 298 You Don't

Stand A Chance

Ellis ushered Kristian out the door and rode the elevator downstairs.

Freya, meanwhile, was still lost in thought, mulling over Kristian's condition.

His symptoms seemed far too severe to be brushed off as a simple stomachache from eating too much.

Ethel, seeing that everyone had cleared out, leaned closer and asked curiously, "Be honest-if Ellis ever pursued you, would you say yes?"

Freya froze, caught off guard.

Without missing a beat, she answered, "No."

The idea of merely being invited to a meal felt surreal now, let alone the thought of a relationship.

Why not?" Ethel pressed, her brows furrowing in puzzlement. "He's handsome, he treats you well, and he's gentle. Honestly, he would be perfect."

"Some people are just meant to stay friends," Freya said after a moment's reflection.

It wasn't just her. Greta and Riley wouldn't dare to even dream about it either.

Had Freya not endured Ellis's relentless training before, she might have found him charming. Only recently had she come to realize that underneath that cold exterior, he was a great man.

But no matter how she looked at it, whenever she thought of Ellis, the first

memory that surfaced was always of those grueling, unrelenting drills.

"What about Kristian? Would you consider him after he gets better?" Ethel asked, unwilling to let it go. "Would you say yes then...?”

"No," Freya replied firmly, her voice leaving no room for doubt.

"Then you..."

"I'm not interested in relationships right now," Freya stated plainly, drawing a firm boundary. "Just focus on your own love life."

"Mina," Ethel said, her voice laced with genuine concern. She worried that Freya had given up on love altogether because of her past heartbreak. Life was long- wouldn't Freya feel lonely if she chose to stay single
