She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 1231:

The couple agreed it was finally time for a getaway—just the two of them, no kids, no responsibilities. After four solid years of nonstop parenting, they craved a real break. But more than anything, Ellis wanted a chance to have Freya all to himself for a while, far from the chaos at home.
