StarNovelChapter 597:
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

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.”
