She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Like A Completely Different...

Freya listened to Trent's words, and found them reasonable enough. "Alright."

Once the call ended, she made her way to the study to draft up the special employment contract for Ellis, while

Trent picked up his phone and started dialing.

It was hard to say who Freya would end up with in the end-Kristian or Ellis.

Even though she trusted Ellis completely and never had her guard up around him, there wasn't a shred of

romance between them.

As for Kristian-Trent, for one, sincerely hoped she wouldn't get entangled with

him again.

Whatever affection or trust she'd once had for Kristian had been shattered by his actions.

Once her heart had been broken, it was nearly impossible to piece it back together.

Just as these thoughts crossed Trent's mind, the call connected, and Ellis's voice cthrough, low and steady.

"Hello, Trent."

"You really don't waste time."

"Last time, | held back for too many reasons and let her slip through my fingers. I'm not making that mistake

again." When Ellis spoke with Trent, his tone was relaxed, his deep voice smooth and composed.

Trent asked, "So, you've made up your

mind?"

"I have," Ellis replied, calm as ever.

"If you need anything, just say the word." Trent adjusted his glasses, his voice steady. "Frederick and | are ready

to back you up whenever."

That was exactly the kind of assurance Ellis needed. "If she ever asks about my job, make it sound awful. The

worse, the better. I'd rather not be sent elsewhere."

Knowing Freya, if Ellis spent even a month working by her side, she'd figure out his true capabilities.

If she kept him close, that'd be fine-but if she reassigned him, all of it would've been pointless.

"Got it," Trent replied, sharp as always.

The call ended.

Ellis headed off for a shower and changed into his pajamas.

Trent, phone still in hand, fell into a thoughtful silence, letting out a quiet sigh over Ellis's bumpy road to love.

When Ellis had first heard from Frederick about Freys's marriage and later divorce, he'd called Trand and said, "If

| hadn't overthought everything back then, would she have been happier?

In that moment, Trent knew Ellis regretted holding back because of his position

What caught Trent off guard was realizing Ellis had feelings for Freya at all.

Even he hadn't noticed.

Ellis had always treated everyone with the smeasured distance during training-no favoritism, no hints.

With those thoughts, only one quiet hope settled in Trent's heart: Freya would truly find happiness

Freya had no idea the two people she trusted most were quietly pulling strings behind the scenes. After

preparing and printing the employment contract, she grabbed the company seal and added her signature.

Once Ellis signed it, it would be official.

By the teverything was done, it was already past ten. She cleaned up, washed up, and went to bed, sticking

to her usual routine.

The next morning, she received the address from Ethel

Just as she was about to head out, she opened the door and saw Ellis standing

there with breakfast in hand. For a second, her brain froze.

After sleeping on everything, it all still felt a bit unreal.

Ellis handed her the breakfast, his long fingers looking oddly graceful. "Breakfast."

"|..." Freya wasn't sure how to describe what she was feeling

Ellis, who had once been so distant, was now bringing her food and asking her out to meals. It made her

uneasy.

Ellis caught the shift in her expression and said simply, "You don't want to eat?"

"You should go back to how you used to be,"

Freya replied. "There's no need to be overly kind. I'm your employer now, but I'm also still your teammate and

friend."

Ellis withdrew his hand and gave her a helpless smile. “Freya.”

"Yes?"

"Do you really think I'm trying to suck up to you?"

It wasn't about sucking up-but it definitely felt off.

"Just take it and eat." Ellis pushed the breakfast into her hands without hesitation.

"| seriously don't know what's going on in that head of yours!"

Freya was speechless, inwardly grumbling. Clearly, he was the one acting out of character.

Back in training, if she showed up late, Ellis wouldn't let her eat at all. And if she didn't meet her goals? No food

and extra penalties. But now? He was hand- delivering breakfast. How could she not overthink this?

Maybe he was still holding a grudge from last time, and this was all part of slong game-pretend kindness

followed by revenge.

The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became

She blurted out, "Captain, just get to the point and stop dragging out my

suffering."

She truly believed-this was Ellis's way of getting back at her. Because ofhat happened before, he was using this

to apply mental pressure. And it was working.

Ellis clenched his jaw, sorely tempted to knock ssense into Freya. Could she not twist his good intentions?

"What are you even talking about?" he asked.

Freya looked up at him, lips pressed together, and finally forced out two words. "You know it in your heart." "Go

eat," Ellis said, one hand tucked in his pocket, still looking ridiculously good. "Stop with the wild guesses." Freya

took a few steps back, stood there at the doorway for a few seconds, and then raised her hand to close

the door.

Ellis was left standing there, caught somewhere between amusement and frustration. He must say Freya was

really a piece of work.

Freya's thoughts were a tangled mess.

For her, overthinking cnaturally. The Captain she remembered was a completely different person from the

one in front of her now.

The Ellis she remembered was the one who used to lay traps for her. The man

who had just handed her breakfast? That felt like someone else entirely.

Lost in her thoughts, she looked down at the breakfast he'd practically shoved into her hands and took out her

phone to make a call.

Frederick answered, voice groggy and soft, clearly not awake yet. "Freya? What's

up so early?"

"What would you think if our captain brought you breakfast?" she asked.

Frederick's eyes snapped open. "Who?"

"Our captain."

"I... I've been behaving myself lately," Frederick stammered, suddenly wide awake, a wave of panic washing over

him. "I haven't done anything wrong!" Could it be that the guys had snitched on him for complaining Ellis was

too strict? Oh god. A bunch of traitors. Was there still tto book a flight and run? "Where is he now?" Frederick

asked urgently, already halfway dressed, ready to flee. "Is he coming to deliver it totoday?"

"No."

"Good." Frederick felt slightly more at ease-but still packed his bag in a hurry.

Then Freya finished her sentence. "He already delivered it. To me."

A loud thud cfrom the other end of the call

Frederick froze, ignoring the fallen photo frame, and suddenly grew serious. He

said to Freya, "You might wanna grab a ticket and get outta town. Don't go to the gathering tonight."

"Is it that bad?" Freya frowned, thinking he was overreacting.

"I'll drop a message in the group chat. You'll see how bad it is when you read their replies." Frederick suddenly

felt a wave of sympathy for Freya. How on earth had she managed to offend Captain?
