She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 892:

Freya said nothing. She just watched the chat unfold.

But her thoughts wandered, drifting toward those small, quiet moments she’d shared with Ellis. This was a man who’d invited her over for meals, who made meeting his family feel natural. Could someone like that really be all wrong for a relationship? Why did it feel like he might be the right one?

Grand romantic gestures didn’t mean much to her. What mattered was feeling safe, understood, and content. Wasn’t that the core of love and marriage—being each other’s home base, the one place you could always rely on?

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Greta asked.

“I don’t know what to say,” Freya answered honestly. “I used to think the same way as all of you, but after spending real time with Ellis, I realized… he’s not that different from us.”

Their criticisms mostly stemmed from how strict he’d been in the past—always pushing them harder.

But once she stopped seeing him as a cold, hard-edged captain, she found him reliable.

At that moment, Freya’s mind spiraled back through memory after memory with Ellis.
