She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 772:

Freya faltered, the words tangling in her throat. No matter how she tried to respond, everything sounded absurd inside her head. That awkward exchange dulled the spark of her suspicion that he might actually be in love with her. If he really cared for her, wouldn’t he speak more sincerely instead of playing games at every turn? With this realization, a sense of relief washed over Freya.

She looked over at Ellis, her eyes glinting with a playful challenge. She began, her voice laced with a teasing tone, “You know, if you ever fall for someone, you’d better not talk to her the way you talk to me.”

“And why’s that?” Ellis asked, his brow arching inquisitively.

“It’s a vibe killer, you know?” Freya shot back with a smirk.

Ellis pressed his lips together, a silent acknowledgment of her point, choosing not to delve into explanations.

At that moment, it wasn’t about the light-hearted jabs or the underlying tensions; it was about the weight of the question that hung between them, unanswerable and heavy.

For the remainder of the drive, Ellis kept his eyes fixed on the winding road, while Freya, lost in thought and the soft glow of her phone screen, exchanged texts with her friends Greta and Riley.
