    Chapter 19


    The girl in the wedding dress was Theo’s niece. She was getting hitched today and needed a


    bridesmaid. So, Theo brought her along.


    Ellinor couldn’t help but retort, “Theo, don’t you know? Bridesmaids are supposed to be single young


    girls. I’m your newlywed wife. How can I be her bridesmaid?”


    Theo frowned. Did he really not know?


    The girl was surprised, “Oh my gosh! You’re Ellinor!”


    So, the girl enthusiastically grabbed Elinor’s hand and introduced herself with a smile, “Hi, Ellinor! I’m


    Belinda, Theo’s niece! Uh, my bridesmaids got stuck in traffic on the overpass. We needed someone to


    step inst minute, so we didn’t think too much about it.”


    Ellinor nodded, “I see.”


    “Come on, Ellinor. Let’s get you into a bridesmaid’s dress!” Belinda pulled Ellinor towards the dressing


    room.


    Ellinor red at Theo before leaving. This guy promised her a job, but it turned out he just wanted her


    to be a free bridesmaid!


    Seeing Ellinor all riled up, Theo couldn’t help but smile. Messing with her every now and then was quite


    amusing.


    Jonah appeared with a ss of champagne and patted Theo on the shoulder, “Theo, what are you


    looking at?”


    Theo came back to his senses, “Nothing.”


    “Let’s go mingle.” Jonah said.


    “Sure.” Theo said.


    In the dressing room.


    Belinda pointed at several evening gowns hanging on the rack, “These are the four bridesmaid dresses


    I ordered. Pick one you like, Ellinor!”


    Ellinor, who was always casual about her attire, grabbed the one on the far end, “This one will do!”


    Belinda smiled, “Great! Get changed here, Ellinor. I’ll go check if the other bridesmaids have arrived.”


    “Alright.” Ellinor changed into the dress.


    It was a blue strapless dress with pleats at the neckline, making her look innocent and pure.


    She sat on the sofa in the dressing room, waiting for Belinda toe back. She checked the unread


    message from Chase on her phone. and sent a reply.


    “Belinda!” Suddenly, someone walked into the dressing room.

    Ellinor looked up and locked eyes with the man.


    “Belinda just stepped out.” She said.


    The man asked, “You…”


    Just then, Belinda came back, “Connor, what are you doing here?”


    Connor turned to Belinda and smiled gently, “I came to see how your preparations were going. Have all


    the bridesmaids arrived?”


    Belinda was full of confidence, “No worries, everything’s under control!”


    “That’s good.” Connor nodded and turned to Ellinor, “By the way, who’s this?”


    Belinda excitedly pulled Ellinor over and introduced her, “She’s the bridesmaid Theo found for us! Isn’t


    she gorgeous?”


    “I see!” Connor extended his hand to Ellinor in a friendly manner, “Hello, thank you for being willing to


    help us.”


    Connor, Belinda’s fiancé, was a handsome man.


    Ellinor felt like she’d seen Connor before, but couldn’t remember where.


    Out of courtesy, she shook his hand, “No problem, it’s what I should do.”


    As Connor held her hand, he smiled. It was supposed to be a simple handshake, but he suddenly


    squeezed her hand, his thumb gently rubbing her palm.


    Ellinor was slightly taken aback, frowning at Connor.
