Chapter 1052:

After a bit more small talk, Ellis told her to go back to sleep. He turned off the lights and quietly closed the door behind him. Only once he was back in his own room did he finally let out a slow breath.

Ellis was the kind of person you really didn’t want as an enemy. He was sharp, unreadable, a master manipulator when he needed to be. If he wanted to lie, you’d never catch it—he could spin a story so well you’d believe it even if you knew better. That kind of skill could destroy someone on the wrong side of him.

But if you were someone he loved? You’d never find anyone more thoughtful. He’d go out of his way to plan surprises, create happiness—quietly, subtly, and with absolute dedication. Even if he got caught in the middle of one of his schemes, he’d cover it up like it was part of the plan all along.

Seated at his desk, Ellis opened a private chat and sent over Freya’s ring finger measurement, along with two beautifully detailed engagement ring designs.

It was obvious he’d spent time and care designing them.

He followed up with a quick message. “How long will it take to customize the engagement ring?”

The reply came back fast. “At least three months.”

“Okay,” Ellis typed.

Three months. That would give him just enough time to plan everything. As long as Freya showed even the slightest sign that she wanted to get married, he’d move forward with the proposal immediately.
