She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 837:

Once the laughter died down, she turned to ask how Ellis and Freya had first met.

Freya didn’t hold anything back—she recounted everything without hesitation.

The moment Kendra heard that Freya had once been Ellis’s team member, her expression clouded with concern. “Oh, you poor thing! Ellis is absolutely ruthless when it comes to training. You must’ve gone through so much under him, didn’t you?”

“It was manageable,” Freya said gently, hoping to put her at ease. “The strict training was really for our own benefit.”

“From now on, you must treat Freya well, you got that?” Kendra said, half-joking, half-serious, directing a pointed look at Ellis.

Ellis, clearly amused by the entire exchange, allowed a faint smile to tug at the corner of his mouth. “Got it.”

“Let’s eat first,” Kendra said, taking Freya’s hand affectionately. It was obvious how much she already liked her. “I wasn’t sure what your favorite foods were. When I asked Ellis, he said you weren’t picky, so I made a bit of everything.”

“I hope I’m not being a bother,” Freya replied with a courteous smile.
