VeryNovelChapter 1090: Those words flipped everything she had believed.
"They were in love," Ellis said firmly, more certain now than ever. "Your dad probably confused love with routine. Or maybe, like I said earlier, he was too afraid to admit it was love." An arranged marriage. Both of them had loved someone else at the start. In a setup like that, even if feelings grew, they might never be openly spoken.
"I'll talk to your dad,” Ellis offered, his tone casual but certain. "Sometimes it's easier for men to talk man-to- man. I'll get you the answers you're looking for." Freya nodded. “Okay." When they got back, they curled up together on the couch, a movie playing on the TV.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt first, they were both focused on the screen.
But as the movie unfolded, the atmosphere between them started to shift-growing warmer, more intimate, stirred by the scenes flickering before them.
On screen, the male and female leads were kissing passionately on a boat, the scene simmering with heat and desire.
Without thinking, Freya fast-forwarded the scene, trying to skip past the awkwardness.
"Rewind it," Ellis said calmly.
She blinked, pretending not to hear him. "You liked that scene?" "I did." galnovsis your gateway to fiction Could he be any more direct? She fumbled with the remote, trying to dodge. "I already skipped it. If you really want to see it, you can rewind after the movie ends and watch it by yourself." "You prefer what comes next?" Ellis raised an eyebrow.
Freya nodded quickly.
He didn't press her, which was weird. No teasing, no smirk, no sarcastic jab. That alone made her suspicious. She eyed him out of the corner of her eye. He's letting this go too easily. That was not like him.
Just as she was overthinking it, the movie shifted into a more suggestive scene.
After the heated kiss, the leads had gone to their own rooms-only for the male lead to sneak into hers later, clearly intending to finish what they'd started. The camera cut away just before things went too far. Ellis's lips curved slowly, his eyes locking onto hers with amused mischief.
"So this is the kind of scene you like." Freya stared at him in disbelief. How was she supposed to know it would turn into that?!
Ellis grinned. "Should I clip that scene for you to rewatch? I've got a dem other movies with similar vibes. Wantto make a collection?"
That was when it hit her. "You've seen this movie before," she said, narrowing her eyes. That explained everything why he didn't react when she skipped the first scene, why he baited her about liking the next one. He knew exactly what was coming. "Don't change the subject," he said smoothly, steering the conversation right back. "You still haven't answered my question."
Freya glared at him, stunned. She hit the return button on the remate, fed up and silently vowing never to watch a romance movie with him again. "Are you mad?" Ellis asked, still grinning, clearly enjoying every second of this.
