Chapter 298 You Don’t

Stand A Chance

Ellis ushered Kristian out the door and rode the elevator downstairs.

Freya, meanwhile, was still lost in thought, mulling over Kristian’s condition.

His symptoms seemed far too severe to be brushed off as a simple stomachache from eating too much.

Ethel, seeing that everyone had cleared out, leaned closer and asked curiously, “Be honest–if Ellis ever pursued you, would you say yes?”

Freya froze, caught off guard.

Without missing a beat, she answered, “No.”

Ellis was far beyond her reach, and she knew it. She still vividly recalled those brutal training days, when everyone had been run ragged under his leadership.

The idea of merely being invited to a meal felt surreal now, let alone the thought of a relationship.

Why not?” Ethel pressed, her brows furrowing in puzzlement. “He’s handsome, he treats you well, and he’s gentle. Honestly, he would be perfect.”

“Some people are just meant to stay friends,” Freya said after a moment’s reflection.

It wasn’t just her. Greta and Riley wouldn’t dare to even dream about it either.

Had Freya not endured Ellis’s relentless training before, she might have found him charming. Only recently had she come to realize that underneath that cold exterior, he was a great man.

But no matter how she looked at it, whenever she thought of Ellis, the first memory that surfaced was always of those grueling, unrelenting drills.

“What about Kristian? Would you consider him after he gets better?” Ethel asked, unwilling to let it go. “Would you say yes then…?”

“No,” Freya replied firmly, her voice leaving no room for doubt.

“Then you…”

“I’m not interested in relationships right now,” Freya stated plainly, drawing a firm boundary. “Just focus on your own love life.”

“Mina,” Ethel said, her voice laced with genuine concern. She worried that Freya had given up on love altogether because of her past heartbreak. Life was long–wouldn’t Freya feel lonely if she chose to stay single

forever?

“Want me to come stepping with you?”

I already have one,” Ethel replied, string on query to Freys’s tempt to change the shipre

Meanwhile, Kristian and Elle were strolling through the newly gather Making It’s verouderent silence, Ellis asked creusity, “Why did you be to Freys?

“That’s none of your tarsiness,” Kristion retorted.

Ellis slouched iszily onto a neartry bench “You don’t like me, do you?”

Kristian shot him a sidelong dance without bothering to answer. Why a question when the mow I obvious? Were adults always this fond of teasing children?

“Let me guess,” Ellis continued, speaking in the tone one would use with a chis, “ystre vélag Stone Prop talked to me and not you?”

Kristian’s childish emotions were laid bare. He glared at Elis, making no effort to hide his diadak

Ellis wasn’t offended. If Kristian had been in his right mind, Ellis might have poked fun at him, but right now, he was no more than a five–year–old in an adult’s body,

“Stop lying.” Ellis advised gently. “Freya doesn’t like liars.”

“I don’t need your advice,” Kristian grumbled sullenly,

“I don’t want to give it either,” Ellis replied, flashing a lazy smile. “But I promised Freya I’d help look after you” Kristian’s face clouded with displeasure. Did Freya find him so troublesome that she needed to rely on Ellis for

help?

“When we get back, I’ll tell Freya to let me take care of you,” Ellis said, dragging out the words slowly. “She should focus on herself.”

“No way!”

Kristian exclaimed, his face twisting in protest.

Ellis arched an eyebrow, amused. “I’m going to do it anyway.”

“If you dare, I’ll tell her you hit me,” Kristian threatened with a glare.

Ellis gave him a once–over, his look clearly saying, “You don’t even have a scratch.”

Kristian, driven by a sudden impulse, acted recklessly.

He threw himself onto the ground, scraping his already blistered hand until it bled anew.

There are security cameras,” Ellis pointed out lazily, unbothered. “Even if you go back injured, Freya can check the footage.”

Kristian sat there, stewing in frustration.

Ellis stood, brushing off his pants as he said, “Let’s go home.”

“I don’t want you looking after me,” Kristian said stubbornly, getting to his feet.

Chapter 298 You Don’t Stand A Chance

“If I end up with Freya, your opinion won’t matter anyway.” Ellis, ever casual, added in a soft, indifferent tone, “When that time comes, I won’t just be taking care of you I’ll be Freya’s husband too.”

Kristian knew exactly what it meant to be Freya’s husband. He had learned it from T

Without thinking, he had blurted out, “Freya won’t marry you. I’ll marry her when I grow up.”

“That’s ambitious,” Ellis said truthfully. “But you don’t stand a chance.”

Either way, he had already decided he would never let Freya be with Kristian again.

Even if people could change, he believed that in life, some chances never came twice. Once lost, they were gone for good.

“I do have a chance!” Kristian insisted, his fists clenching tightly.

“Why don’t you go upstairs and ask her?” Ellis challenged, locking eyes with him. “See what she says.”

Kristian glared at him for a moment before marching off determinedly.
