Chapter 1356: Just Wait for His Message


    "Ouch! That hurts!" Monica was dragged away by her mother,ughing as she asked, "I''m proving it by


    my actions! What made you not believe me?"


    She was a grown-up, still making a spectacle of herself here!


    This was the hotel lobby!


    Belinda dragged her daughter into the elevator without another word, pressed the floor button, and only


    let go of her hand when the elevator doors closed.


    Monica turned her gaze to her mother, "Belinda, do you believe me now?"


    "Fine, fine, just stop making a scene!" Belinda rolled her eyes at her, "It''s embarrassing! Don''t get on


    my nerves!"


    As the elevator ascended, Monica looked at her mother with a mix of trust and doubt.


    To prevent any misunderstandings at the dinner appointmentter, Monica felt the need to exin


    herself again, so Belinda would fully believe her!


    The mother and daughter exited the elevator and returned to their hotel suite.


    Monica cleared her throat, "Belinda, I''ll perform a split for you now! Watch closely!" At that, she went


    straight into the split.


    "What are you doing? Get up!" Belinda was frightened, "You''ve always had tight ligaments; don''t strain


    yourself!" She still cared about her daughter.


    Monica was pulled up by her mother again, still insisting, "Do you really believe me now? I''m not


    pregnant! Don''t just assume such serious matters, it could scare me to death! I could never handle


    being pregnant before marriage!"


    Belinda nodded, now genuinely believing her.

    After all, she was her daughter, and she had basic upbringing; it was a matter of principle.


    She grabbed her daughter''s arm and asked seriously, "Does Tristan have time for dinner?" They had


    just left his car; there should be news about it, right?


    "Now you''re asking if he has time?" Monicained about her mother, "When you called earlier, it


    was all in amanding tone. But did you ever consider that, as the head of argepany, his


    schedule might be packed?"


    "People with packed schedules still have to eat, right?" Belinda could understand that kind of busyness,


    as she managed apany herself, "And I''m the one inviting him. Is he nning to refuse?"


    Monica had no counterargument to her mother''s reasoning, but... this was all based on a


    misunderstanding!


    Tristan had nothing to do with her!


    He could definitely refuse!


    "Monica, let me tell you, if he refuses me today, it can only mean one thing," Belinda said confidently,


    "He doesn''t love you enough!"


    "He didn''t refuse," Monica assured her mother with certainty, "Let''s just wait for his message. He''ll


    arrange everything. You can rest for now."


    "Well, that''s good, at least he has manners," Belinda said, then asked, "When did you two get


    together?"


    "We... haven''t been together long, but our rtionship is stable, and I like him," the girl said, "I''m


    is, I won''t even give them a nce."


    Belinda looked into her eyes, sensing her resolve, and said nothing more.


    She just examined her daughter with a scrutinizing gaze, taking a few extra looks before heading to her


    room, her feelings unclear.


    But Monica was pondering her mother''s earlier words, if Tristan refused today, it would mean he didn''t


    love her.


    Since Tristan didn''t refuse, could it prove that his feelings for her were... more than just ordinary


    friends?


    He cared about her, right?


    He was afraid she couldn''t handle it, afraid she''d go on blind dates with other men?
