?Chapter 1205:

    “Why are you giving me so much?” Freya still couldn’t wrap her head around it.

    “Isn’t it obvious?” Ellis teased.

    “Because I want to mooch off you with pride,” he added with a grin.

    Freya shot him a sharp look. “I’m being serious.”

    “So am I,” Ellis said with a hint of mischief.

    Freya shifted her tone to something more solemn. “Are you really not afraid that I’ll…”

    Ellis cut her off, his voice taking on a serious edge. “Before you ask that, I’ve got a question for you.” He took his time, clearly knowing what wasing.

    Freya paused. “What is it?”

    Ellis’s eyes deepened, his voice low and filled with emotion. “You went through a rough marriage before. Why are you still willing to marry me?” He looked at her, searching for something in her eyes. “Aren’t you scared I’ll leave you for someone else?”

    Freya looked up at him, her gaze steady and sure. “I’m not. I trust you.”

    Ellis gave a faint smile, resting his chin atop her head. His eyes softened with emotion, and after a long pause, he spoke again. “Your answer is mine too.”

    Freya met his eyes. Right then, her heart settled. This was forever. If he wanted to give her anything, she would simply ept it.

    Hardly anyone knew about Ellis’s extravagant gifts. Apart from Locke, it was just the two of them—Freya and Ellis—and their parents. Their parents stayed out of it entirely, allowing the couple to make all the decisions on their own.

    Time passed, and October arrived.

    Ellis and Freya attended Ethan and Alyssa’s wedding. Initially, the couple had nned to marry abroad, but after some thought, they decided to hold the ceremony in Alerith. It wasn’t because of Ellis’s travel restrictions, but rather so they could head straight into their honeymoon afterward. On the third day of the wedding, Ethan and Alyssa invited Ellis and Freya to hang out onest time before leaving for their months-long honeymoon. Ethan even joked that Ellis might “miss” him.

    The group chose a lively club with games, food, and plenty of drinks to keep the evening fun.

    But no one expected to run into Kristian right at the entrance.

    “Are we flying back tonight or tomorrow?” Gerard asked, ncing at the flight details on his phone as he walked beside Kristian after a meeting.

    Kristian had barely spoken when he spotted the group stepping through the door. He stopped dead in his tracks.

    “What’s the n?” Gerard asked again, noticing his boss had suddenly frozen.

    On reflex, he nced up—only to find Kristianpletely still, his eyes fixed ahead, wearing an expression so tangled it was nearly impossible to read. What on earth had caught his attention?

    Gerard followed the line of his gaze. The moment he spotted Freya, his mind went utterly nk. “Ms. Briggs? And her fiancé?”

    Freya and Ellis both looked straight at them when they noticed. Kristian locked eyes with Freya from across the room. He told himself to look away, but he couldn’t. It had been months, and she looked even more stunning than before. There was a new light in her eyes—one that hadn’t been there when they had divorced. It was clear she was happy now. And Ellis was treating her right.
