Chapter 1077:

It wasn’t until they were in the car that things clicked into place. Freya leaned forward to buckle her seatbelt, and Ellis glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. A grin slowly crept across his face. Ah… that’s what she meant by “small.”

“I would never think you are small-chested,” he said with a chuckle, his voice smooth and laced with mischief.
