NovelStartChapter 291:
Elyse expressed surprise at Rebekah confessing her love. “Did Freddy accept her?”
Freddy's response carried a mix of emotions, his intentions unclear. He didn’t outright reject Rebekah. Instead,
he mentioned needing tto consider, which pleased her.
Perplexed, Darren inquired, “Didn't he harbor dislike toward her? Why didn’t he reject her?”
Elyse was left speechless, the revelation too startling for an immediate response. After deliberation, she
cautiously suggested, “Perhaps Freddy sought to spare Rebekah public embarrassment. He may have wished to
show her srespect, especially in a public setting.”
Darren remained unconvinced. Having spent ample tgaming with Freddy, he understood Freddy to be
resolute and decisive. To Darren, Freddy's actions hinted at ulterior motives, though he refrained from
speculating further.
“You can reach out to Freddy for clarification. We all inquired earlier this afternoon, yet he remained tight-lipped,”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarren’s mischievous notion sparked.
Elyse’s astonishment was palpable. “He didn’t tell you anything when you asked him. Do you suppose he'd
divulge anything if I inquired?”
Darren’s voice dropped, his grin sly. “Perhaps he'd open up to you. Remember when he harbored feelings for
you?”

Elyse felt deeply embarrassed. It seemed like ages ago. How could Darren still recall it? Furthermore, after
marrying Jayden, she drew a clear boundary with Freddy, regarding him solely as a friend. Now Darren had
dredged it up, amplifying her discomfort. Thankfully, Jayden wasn’t present. If he overheard, she dreaded the
repercussions.
“Understood. I'll give him a call and seek clarification,” she guiltily ended the call.
She discovered Freddy's contact. After pausing, she opted to dial. Curiosity about his lack of rejection towards
Rebekah lingered. Recalling Freddy's animosity towards Rebekah, his sudden compliance puzzled her. A sense of
unease persisted.
Upon connection, Elyse greeted warmly, “Hey, Freddy, what occupies your time?”
A sneer tinged with mockery emanated from the receiver. It was a woman's voice. The voice sounded familiar to
Elyse. She asked uncertainly, “Rebekah? Is it you?”
“Don’t be so audacious, Elyse. As a married woman, how dare you dial Freddy at midnight? You're despicable,
still pining for him post-marriage. Don’t you feel repulsed?” Rebekah spoke rapidly, her biting words resounding
through the air.
Elyse massaged her ears, her tone impatient. “Can you speak more gently? Also, | called Freddy for a reason.
Why did you answer his phone?”
In response, Rebekah’s demeanor softened, her tone becoming conciliatory. “It's customary forto answer his
phone. We're in a relationship now. Don’t you want to know what he’s doing? He's currently showering. Does that
satisfy your inquiry?”
Elyse was taken aback, remaining silent for a prolonged moment before finally speaking. “Please return the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmphone to Freddy.”
Rebekah, visibly irritated, retorted, “I'm being truthful. Whether you believe it or not, he’s now my boyfriend.
Stop calling him. Don’t you realize how low this makes you?”
With a conflicted expression, Elyse pondered before asserting, “Then let Freddy speak for himself and confirm
your relationship.”
Rebekah, momentarily flustered, swiftly regained composure and asserted with arrogance, “As | mentioned, he’s
currently showering, making it inconvenient to answer. Did you have a message for him? I'll pass it along.”
What Elyse wanted to say couldn't be passed on by Rebekah. Rubbing her stiff face, Elyse uttered, “Nothing
serious. | won't intrude on your ttogether.”
Aware that Elyse assumed her relationship with Freddy, Rebekah felt at ease. Upon hearing the bathroom faucet
cease, she swiftly ended the call and erased the call log.
Emerging from the shower, Freddy dried his hair and queried, “Who was on the phone earlier?”
Rebekah feigned civility, remarking, “It was a fraudulent call. | reprimanded the deceiver and terminated the
call.”
