Chapter 929
Belinda was stumped, her face screwing up in confusion. “Why?”
She had thought that Ellinor would be supportive of her new relationship and would genuinely wish her well.
“You guys just don’t mix” Ellinor said. “If you’re with him, you’re definitely going to take a hit, physically and mentally”
“Why are you so prejudiced against Chase?” Belinda frowned. “He treats you like family, and you think he’s a shady, untrustworthy individual?”
Ellinor sighed, I’m not biased, I just know him! I’ve watched him grow up, and I know everything about him. I know him better than anyone else. He’s my friend and family, too, but he’s not marriage material.”
Belinda was floored, blinking in disbelief, “Has he been with a lot of women?”
Ellinor nodded, “A lot.”
“How many, roughly?” Belinda asked.
Ellinor rubbed her temples, “He’s 23 this year. Since he was 18, he’s probably been switching girlfriends every week. You do the math.”
“That is a lot…” Belinda said, disappointed.
Ellinor patted Belinda’s shoulder gently, “Yeah, now you know. Don’t interact with him anymore, and don’t take his words seriously. Those are just sweet nothings he uses to woo women.”
Belinda thought for a moment, looking deflated. Just when Ellinor thought she was going to give up, Belinda rallied, “It doesn’t matter! I don’t have to marry a virgin. As long as he’s good to me after we’re married, that’s all that matters.”
“Do you really think a born player would suddenly become a steady guy?” Ellinor rubbed her forehead. “Don’t kid yourself.”
Belinda was still not resigned and muttered, “Nothing is impossible! My uncle changed so much for you, why can’t I make Chase change for me?”
Theo changed for me?” Ellinor frowned slightly.
Belinda nodded vigorously, “Yes! He used to be cold as ice, but now he’s so tender to you. He only treats you this well and doesn’t even glance at other women!”
Ellinor considered Theo’s attitude changes from the beginning, “His change is a matter of character, not behavior. Even before he knew me, wasn’t he also very disciplined? That’s his nature. He’s not uninterested in other women because of me, he’s just not that kind of person. But Chase is different. He’s always been a playboy, his passion for anything is short–lived. That’s his nature. You need to understand that it’s hard to change a person’s nature.” “It’s hard, but it’s not impossible, right?” Belinda was still unwilling to give up. “I really like him. And he treats me well. I don’t want this relationship to end before it’s even started.”
Ellinor looked at the stubborn Belinda, silent for a moment, then sighed softly, “The advice I give is just based on my own perspective. If you insist on trying, I can’t stop you. But Belinda, I must remind you that men can be very sweet when they’re interested in you, but they can also turn cold when they lose interest. I’ve even prepared myself mentally for Theo possibly getting tired of me one day. If you can’t handle emotions freely, it’s best not to start If you think you can easily deal with the worst possibilities, then you can try dating. As for marriage, unless you can accept an open marriage, don’t choose Chase. Or else, you’ll definitely regret it.”
