Chapter 1243
Belinda grabbed a cucumber from the table and hurled it at him. “What do you mean we’re messing around?
Watch your mouth!”
Byran ducked the flying cucumber “Okay! I misspoke. Are you and Chase together?”
Belinda’s face darkened even more. “No!”
Byran furrowed his brows, he was genuinely confused. “Then why are you here helping with the cooking?”
Belinda scoffed. “My aunt is here! Is there a problem with me taking care of her?”
A light bulb went off in Byran’s head. “Oh, so you’re here for Ellinor! Speaking of, how are Ellinor and Theo? Why
didn’t she go back to the Blanchet Villa and instead came here?”
Mentioning Ellinor and Theo gave Belinda a headache.

Byran was also concemed about Ellinor. “Didn’t Theo follow her? He’s been searching for her everywhere; he
should have come!”
Belinda shrugged helplessly. “I have no idea what happened, but Theo didn’t come. I’m here to watch over Ellinor
for him.”
Byran thought for a moment and moved closer to Belinda, intending to ask more questions, but was abruptly pulled
away by the neck by someone from behind.
Chase, with a smirk but a stern tone, said, “Talk all you want, but keep your distance! Don’t you know the rules
between men and women?”
This made Byran laugh uncontrollably. “You’re lecturing me on keeping distance? You’re the one who’s always
crossing the line!”
Once he said this, Belinda glanced at Chase and then turned her face away.
Chase shoved Byran away. “If you’re not gonna help with the cooking, go watch TV in the living room. Don’t mess
around here!”
Byran straightened his collar. “I see. Both of you are just jealous! Belinda, let me tell you, Chase isn’t a faithful man;
be careful!”
Chase shot a playful glare at Byran. “Believe it or not, I can make Ida break up with you in a heartbeat.”
This deflated Byran’s arrogance somewhat, and he sauntered off to the living room to watch TV.
Belinda lowered her head and started cooking.
Chase moved to her side and whispered. “I know I’ve messed up before, but can you give me a chance to change?”
Belinda didn’t look up at him. “Mr. Larios, you’re barking up the wrong tree. You should find a girl who’s willing to
give you a chance, not someone who’s already

Chase was silent for a while and didn’t say anything more. He picked up the sauce-stained bowls from the table and
went to wash them.
Belinda breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing she had her principles; otherwise, she might not have been able to resist surrendering to Chase,
especially after his convincing display today.
If she didn’t have a boyfriend now, she might have fallen into the trap of love again.
But forget it! She had decided to cultivate her relationship with Jacob; she couldn’t think about anything else! No
dirty thoughts! She had to stay clear-headed.
Byran sat in the living room, munching on snacks and watching TV. With curiosity in his eyes, his gaze drifted
unintentionally towards the kitchen.
If Theo knew that his beloved niece, Belinda, was involved with a playboy like Chase.
