Chapter 1611
She wasn’t really trying to prevent these two from being together; she was just worried that Belinda would get her heart broken by Chase again.
Chase was her childhood friend. Naturally, she trusted his integrity as a friend, but as a man, Chase was far from being a decent guy.
She turned to face Belinda, who was a bit naive, and said seriously, “Belinda, if you’ve decided to give this guy another chance, then I won’t say anything more. I wish you both the best. But remember if he ever hurts you again, come see me first. I’ll take care of him.”
Belinda was deeply touched. She stood up, walked past Chase, and gave her a big hug. “Ellinor, you’re just too good to me. Even with my uncle gone, you still treat me like family. It’s so touching! Oh, Ellinor…”.
Ellinor, uncomfortable with the close contact, laughed awkwardly and pulled away, pushing Belinda into the arms of her soon-to-be husband. She took a step back, placing a bit of distance between them.
“Alright! You two go and prepare for your wedding. I’ll be there with the kids.”
Belinda nodded. “Ellinor, when I think about it, this will be the second time you’ve attended my wedding. I’m so touched, but also a bit sad. Last time, during my failed wedding, you and my uncle were still together. Now, he’s…”
The mention of her uncle brought a wave of sadness as well as sympathy for Ellinor.
She thought Ellinor had it rough. She was still foolishly waiting for her uncle to return
They all thought he would never come back.
Sigh…
Ellinor didn’t say anything. In the past, if someone mentioned that man in front of her she might feel a wave of sadness too.
But now it was different. She knew where he was, and she had seen him; he just didn’t remember her.
She hadn’t told anyone about it yet, fearing it would stir up trouble.
Chase, seeing that she wasn’t speaking, thought Belinda had stirred up old wounds. He quickly moved Belinda to his other side, changing the topic. “Alright! You have agreed to our marriage, and you’ve given us your blessing. Let’s not be sad anymore. Otherwise, I might start feeling blue too.”
Belinda laughed at Chase’s feigned sadness. “Hah! What are you feeling blue about? When men get married, they don’t have to leave their homes. But when women get married, we have to leave our parents and move to the man’s house. That’s why we get sad.”
Chase frowned. “Who says I don’t have to leave my home? I’ve already moved out. All my stuff is in our new apartment. Belinda, can’t you see how much I’ve given up?”
Belinda smirked. “I’m talking about leaving home, not moving houses. Humph, you really don’t understand a woman’s heart. Forget it; I’m not going to argue with you.”
Seeing her about to leave, Chase quickly pulled her back into his arms. “Where are you going? If you’re not talking to me, who are you going to talk to? From now on, I’m the closest person to you. You have to tell me everything.”
Belinda, unable to escape his hold, blushed and stuttered. “Let me go! Don’t act like this in front of Ellinor! She will laugh at us! Let me go…”
Chase didn’t let go. He even looked unbothered. “What’s the matter? Ellinor won’t laugh at us. It’s normal for a married couple to be affectionate.”
Belinda was completely embarrassed. “You… Stop it! Even if Ellinor doesn’t laugh at us, there are still other people here. Let me go…”
Chase looked at the two people nearby and laughed. “Belinda, you’re overthinking it. Those two are even more affectionate than we are. If they aren’t embarrassed, why should we be?”
Ida wondered why she had to become the new topic.
