?Chapter 995:


    “I do.”


    “Alright.”


    The terms were set between them.


    When Felipe asked where they’d settle things, Ellis said confidently, “Right here. And I won’t use my right hand. If you can knock me down even once, you win.”


    This way, it wouldn’t look like he was picking on him.


    Felipe’s disdain deepened. He thought Ellis was just putting on a show. He was ready to knock him out cold.


    Felipe didn’t hold back and came at him with a punch full of force.


    Ellis reacted quickly and cleanly, his presence nearly overwhelming. He simply blocked Felipe’s punch, yet it was enough to make Felipe’s hand throb.


    That didn’t stop Felipe. The thought of seeing Farrah again spurred him forward, and he hurled everything he had at Ellis, using every technique he knew. But he couldn’t bring Ellis down. Every blow was parried.


    That’s when it hit him—Ellis wasn’t some pushover. Whether he lived off a woman or not, his skills were definitely on par with Freya’s.


    Why did he always encounter such freaks?


    Another punchnded, but it only sent Felipe stumbling backward. When he saw Ellis’s next strikeing straight at him, Felipe panicked and cried out, “Wait—I give up!”


    Ellis halted, simply standing there as he looked at the battered man slumped against the wall.


    “I lost, but I still want you to let me see Farrah,” Felipe said to Freya, his eyes sincere. “I really need to…”


    g???????ν??????.????n – ???????? ????????????????


    “Forget it. That’s not going to happen,” Freya cut him off.


    Felipe clenched his fists tightly at his sides.


    Freya dismissed him, telling him to ept his loss and leave, then walked inside with Ellis.


    In the living room, Freya looked like a kid caught sneaking candy.


    “Captain, you’re not mad at me, are you?”


    “Call me sweetheart.”


    “Huh?”


    “You called me that just now. Stick with it.”


    Freya said nothing. She had only used it to demonstrate their rtionship.


    “What? nning to use me and toss me aside?” Ellis teased, his eyes twinkling. Freya frowned. Why did that sound off?


    Ellis pinched her cheek, his voice dropping to a sultry murmur. “The way you act makes me think that after we tie the knot, you’ll hit it and quit it.”


    “Isn’t that something people say about guys?” Freya retorted.


    Ellis’s gaze lingered on her, still insisting she switch how she addressed him. “So, what do you call me?”


    “Captain.”


    “Captain?”


    “Sweetheart’s just not my thing.” Freya genuinely found it cringeworthy and suddenly had an idea. “Do you have a nickname? I’ll call you that.”


    Ellis froze for a second before immediately shutting it down. “No.”
