Chapter 710:
She hadn't forgotten what was said in the group chat last time. Ellis had brought Freya breakfast. Who would
believe he was just being nice? There had to be a trap for Freya.
Ellis looked confused. His gaze swept the curious faces before landing on Riley. “What are you talking about?”
“Oh, please. We all know you brought Mina breakfast last time,” Riley said boldly. “If she hadn't gotten on your
nerves, would you really have done that?”
Greta and Riley knew the real story but kept up the act. They just wanted Ellis to drop any idea of giving Freya a
hard time.
“What's wrong with bringing her breakfast?” Ellis replied lazily, his tone as smooth as ever. “Who says an
employee can’t bring their boss breakfast?”
The group stared at him in silence. Ellis was a master of deflection. What a way to dodge the question.
“It’s understandable for staff to bring their boss breakfast,” Moss remarked, tossing in his two cents. “But
Captain, be honest with yourself—were you really just being thoughtful when you brought breakfast for Mina? Or
have you conveniently forgotten that tyou handeda bottle of water and then maderun ten
kilometers strapped with extra weight?”
“And the tyou gavefood, only to triple my training session right after?” Cade chimed in, not missing his

Moss froze mid-breath.
Cade went stiff as a board.
Uh-oh!

A chill tiptoed down their spines, and their hearts thudded like warning drums. They'd walked right into it—hook,
line, and sinker.
“So you are planning to put Mina through the wringer?” Greta concluded, narrowing her eyes.
Before Ellis could respond, Freya—half-asleep and only catching fragments of the chatter—sat up abruptly. Her
gaze was bleary, her voice soft and adorably indignant. “Captain, didn’t you say you'd let it go? Why are you
going back on your word?”
Maybe it was the lingering buzz from the alcohol, but her sleepy defiance was so cute and earnest that both
Greta and Riley couldn't resist the temptation to pinch her cheeks.
In fact, they promptly did.
“All right, everyone. Let's wrap it up for tonight,” Ellis said, rising from his seat. His long frseemed even
more commanding as he stood tall. “Head hsafely. I'll take Freya back myself.” As he spoke, he made his
way toward her.
Just as he reached out, Freya turned to him and asked, “Why aren't you saying anything?”
“I'll explain later,” Ellis murmured, gently taking her hand from Greta’s side. His voice softened to a tender
whisper. “Do you wantto carry you or give you a piggyback ride?”
Freya shook her head, her voice drowsy but stubborn. “I can walk on my own.”
“All right.” Ellis nodded, indulging her without a fuss.
