She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 1086:

Ellis stood right behind her, leaned in at eye level, and met her gaze through the mirror. “You sure about that?”

Freya froze. Why did it feel like saying no would land her in deeper trouble?

“If you’re not going to train, I’ll just have to make up for it with more frequent ‘practice.'” His tone was deadly serious, and his eyes gleamed with unspoken promises. “The more we do it, the longer you’ll last.”

Freya tensed, forcing herself to stay composed. “Overdoing it is bad for the body.”

“I know how to find the balance,” Ellis said smoothly, not missing a beat.

Freya kept brushing, silently. Her every nerve was screaming that his idea of “balance” was definitely not the same as hers.

“I’m going to change.” Once she finished brushing, she set her toothbrush aside, then made her getaway without wasting a second. “You take your time.”

Ellis watched her vanish, then turned back to brushing at his own pace, the amusement in his eyes softening that usual darkness.
