?Chapter 1059:


    Meanwhile, Ethan, who was hanging out with Alyssa, nearly choked.


    “What the—”


    Was Freya being serious right now?


    Zoe texted again. “Are you serious?”


    Freya replied, “Yes. The child is innocent.”


    Ethan stared at his screen,pletely dumbfounded. Was Freya… okay? Alyssa noticed the dramatic expressions he was pulling and askedzily, “What are you up to over there?”


    “Nothing,” Ethan said quickly, locking his phone. No way was he telling her he’d been catfishing Freya with a fake pregnancy. Alyssa didn’t push.


    He leaned in with a grin. “Hey, can I ask you something?”


    “Go ahead.”


    “Hypothetically—totally hypothetical—if my lover got pregnant, and I told her to get an abortion, but she came to you asking to keep the kid, what would you do?” He needed to know how a normal person would react to such a situation.


    Alyssa stared at him like he’d lost his mind. Her gaze darkened dangerously.


    Ethan panicked. “Hypothetically! I swear!”


    “I’d throw both of you in the ocean,” Alyssa said tly.


    Ethan blinked. “So you wouldn’t let her keep the baby?”


    Her eyes narrowed. “Why are you asking me this in such detail? Is there someone out there I should know about?”

    “Of course not!” Ethan rushed to say. “You’re the only one I love. I’d never do anything to betray you.” Alyssa rolled her eyes and didn’t respond.


    Back in the fake pregnancy chat, Ethan-as-Zoe sent another message to Freya. “Thank you, that’s so nice of you.”


    “Do you have money?” Freya asked. “If not, I can give you some. Raising a kid’s expensive.”


    Ethan was speechless. Seriously? This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.


    His n had been simple—mess with Freya a little, get her to confront Ellis, and cause some harmless drama between the lovebirds—all as payback forst night’s argument.


    But clearly, he had miscalcted.


    “Alyssa…” He handed Alyssa the phone, deciding toe clean. “When you get a chance, maybe talk to Freya. I think something’s wrong with her.”


    Alyssa looked puzzled, not understanding how Freya got involved.


    But once she skimmed through the chat, she put the pieces together. After reading everything, she handed the phone back and said something that made Ethan nearly fall over. “She’s fine.”


    “What do you mean ‘she’s fine’?” Ethan asked, bewildered. “You literally told me earlier you’d throw us both into the ocean. But her response? That was just… weirdly nice.”


    “The naive one here is you,” Alyssa said coolly. She hadn’t spent that much time around Freya, but she knew one thing for sure—Freya wasn’t the type to just ept cheating or lies. Not even close.


    Which could only mean one thing—Freya knew it was a prank the whole time.


    Ethan frowned. “Wait. What do you mean?”
