Chapter 1239
“I thought you were nothing special to me, just one of the many girls I’ve liked before. If you weren’t around, I figured I wouldn’t feel any different.
But, during the time you were away from the company, I kept feeling like something was missing in my everyday life. I would often think about you, pacing back and forth in front of me.
And when I see you with other guys, I get jealous! How could you treat them the same way you treat me?
I can’t stand you being good to other guys! You can’t be good to other guys!”
Belinda was a bit confused.
What on earth was Chase doing? Was he acting like a spoiled child?
“Mr. Larios…”
Chase wiped his eyes on her shoulder. “Would you consider being with me again? Once we’re together, I promise I won’t have anything to do with other girls. I’ll only date you! Would you give me a chance? Try again with me. Please?”
Belinda found herself short of breath, but her rational mind told her that she and this man weren’t a good fit.
“I want a stable relationship and a simple, peaceful life. Mr. Larios, even if I admit that I still have feelings for you, we’re really not suitable.
I once naively thought that I could be the special one who could change you. But now I understand that I’m not special.
Maybe you do have some feelings for me. But you’re used to open relationships. How long could you hold back for me?
I don’t think it would be long. By then, you’d probably just casually turn around and do your own thing. I can’t bear being abandoned again. Forget it!”
When she finished saying “forget it,” Belinda could feel Chase stiffen up.
“Won’t you reconsider?”
Belinda didn’t respond. She wasn’t that determined; after all, the man before her was someone she had once pursued fervently.
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Chase got up and opened the door.
Ellinor was standing there with a hint of displeasure.
Chase put on his usual smile. “Boss, what’s up?”
Ellinor glanced at the bedroom and then said, “Don’t bully her, send her home later.”
Chase nodded. “Okay, got it.”
Belinda came to her senses and walked over. “Auntie, I don’t want to leave.”
Ellinor’s eyes hardened. “What did you call me?”
Belinda quickly corrected herself. “Ellinor, can I stay here tonight? We haven’t seen each other in a long time, and I have a lot of things to tell you. I want to chat with
you.”
Ellinor knew without thinking what Belinda wanted to talk to her about. It was probably to speak up for Theo.
“If you have something to say, we can find another time to talk. I’m not in a good mood right now; you should go home and rest.”
