She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 1024:

“Maybe next time.” Ellis hesitated, glancing at Freya, amusement flickering in his eyes. “Freya thinks it’s too early for me to meet her family.”

He gave them a friendly wave and slipped back into the car, leaving Hugh and Ethel in a state of mild bewilderment.

She didn’t know if Ellis had overheard her, or if Trent or Frederick had blurted it out.

“We’ve only been seeing each other for two weeks,” Freya admitted, offering the simplest explanation she could. “I just feel like it’s too soon to drag him home for family introductions. Maybe we should give it a little more time.”

“Well…” Hugh faltered, searching for a suitable reply. He couldn’t really fault her—she was still his beloved girl, no matter how old she got.
