?Chapter 1213:


    When Greta spotted the pair, she immediately called out, “Mission aplished?”


    “Absolutely,” Freya replied with a grin.


    “What a shame,” Greta muttered, clicking her tongue twice in mock disappointment.


    Ellis slowly traced his fingers over the marriage license and looked up with curiosity. “What exactly is the shame in this?”


    “Oh, nothing at all,” Greta quickly backtracked, her thoughts screeching to a halt. If Ellis discovered what she’d really been thinking, she’d find herself in serious hot water.


    She grabbed Freya’s arm and pulled her to the side, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “I have something important to ask you.”


    “What is it?”


    “Who exactly runs the show in your household?”


    “Runs the show?” Freya blinked in confusion.


    “Who holds the final say in major decisions?” Greta rified, her curiosity genuinely piqued. During their dating phase, Freya had consistently deferred to Ellis’s judgment on most matters. But now that they were about to get married, surely the power dynamics would need some adjustment.


    “He does,” Freya replied, ncing toward Ellis, who was observing their exchange with keen interest. She answered withplete honesty, “He promised to manage our home while I focus on my work.” Greta found herselfpletely speechless.


    Riley shared the same stunned silence. Both women arrived at the identical conclusion in that moment: Freya had fallenpletely under Ellis’s influence.


    Freya continued with absolute seriousness, “He dazzles with style, while I bring in the dough. Together, we’re a team, making our love grow.” She genuinely embraced this arrangement wholeheartedly. After all, her financial resources were more than sufficient. Supporting Ellis presented no challenge whatsoever.


    “Ellis,” Greta called out, her voice carrying a hint of determination. Greta still harbored hopes of helping Freya reim some measure of household authority. Her primary motivation centered around ensuring Freya would advocate on their behalf whenever Ellis decided to scold them for their antics.


    Ellis shifted his attention toward her expectantly.

    Greta cleared her throat deliberately before speaking. “Do you honestly believe Freya is easy to deceive?”


    Ellis responded with casual indifference, “She absolutely is.” Everyonepsed into stunned silence. There simply was no adequate response to such blunt honesty.<fnb1af> This update is avable on Find_Novel(.</fnb1af>


    Freya had grown ustomed to his directness by now and privately acknowledged that his assessment held some truth. She kind of was gullible when it came to certain things.


    Greta decided to tease them further. “So Freya shoulders all the financial responsibilities while you simply focus on looking devastatingly handsome? Doesn’t that arrangement seem somewhat unfair to her?”


    Greta was merely engaging in yful banter with them, given their incredibly close friendship.


    Riley immediately jumped in with enthusiastic agreement. “Exactly my thoughts!”
