StarNovelChapter 790:
Kristian nodded dutifully, agreeing without resistance.
Everything he did felt so effortlessly genuine that Freya missed any deeper signals, brushing it off as the result of
a neglected “child” craving love.
When Ellis saw her emerge, he rose and asked, “How is he?”
“I've cto realize | haven't been around enough lately, and that might be why he’s been clinging more,”
Freya explained softly. “He admitted he was wrong and said he'll apologize to you once he feels better.”
“That's it?” Ellis sounded a bit taken aback. Was Kristian’s acting really that convincing?
Freya gave a slight nod.
Since they weren't going to visit Lawrence that day, Ellis didn’t stick around. He told Freya he’d prepare lunch,
then turned and left.
Once home, Ellis made a phone call.
The person on the other end picked up with obvious excitement in their voice. “Mr. Lambert! You finally called!
Are you planning to return and take over the family business?”

“Not exactly,” Ellis answered slowly.
Locke Cullen’s enthusiasm deflated. “No?”
“Can you dig into Kristian Shaw from the Shaw Group for me? Focus on his personality,” Ellis said, his voice

my secretary.”
Locke lit up.
“Seriously?” he asked, the question laced with hope and anticipation.
“Yes,” Ellis’s tone carried more weight than usual.
“I'll get everything to you within a week,” Locke said quickly, filled with fresh determination.
Ellis responded with a simple “Mm.”
But just as he was about to end the call, Locke—his appetite for gossip overpowering—called out, “Mr. Lambert.”
“What?”
“I heard from your parents that you've been lying low because you're chasing a girl?” Locke's curiosity burned.
“Is it true?” He'd never seen Ellis take interest in women before.
After Ellis joined the service, his visits hbecscarce. This rumor felt almost too wild to be true.
“You want to know?” Ellis asked, his voice tinged with amusement.
Locke replied with comical enthusiasm. “Yes, yes!”
Of course, he did. He wanted to know
