    Chase didn’t agree, nor did he continue the conversation. He just muttered, “This Jacob is cking off


    at work. I need to have a word with his manager and give him a good grilling”


    Upon hearing this, Belinda, afraid that she might get her colleague in trouble, quickly defended him.


    “He called me during his lunch break. It’s not like he’s not working


    Chase feigned seriousness, “Didn’t he text you before lunch break too?”


    Belinda exined, “That… That’s because he asked me a few questions during his downtime, it’s not


    like we were chatting all the time.”


    Chase narrowed his eyes, locking deep and mysterious. “You’re defending him like that? So are you


    going to go watch the movie with him?”


    Belinda seemed a bit nervous, and her replycked enthusiasm, ‘I’ll think about it. I’m not really into


    horror movies, What if I get scared and scream? It wouldn’t be appropriate in front of colleagues!”


    A smirk appeared on Chase’s face, “Thene with me. I’m quite interested in seeing you scream in


    fright.”


    Belinda was taken aback, wondering if she heard him correctly, “Mr. Larios, are you asking me out to a


    movie?”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Chase nodded affirmatively, “Yes,e with me. If you get scared, you can hide in my arms. I don’t


    mind if you take advantage of me.”


    Belinda’s mouth twitched, “Mr. Larios, that’s not funny at all.”


    She was somewhat repulsed by Chase’s yful flirtation. She had always found him attractive, and any


    casual remark from him would send her thoughts spiraling


    out of control.


    This had to stop! Belinda took Baber from Chase’s arms, “Mr. Lanos, thanks for holding Baber for me.


    I’m hungry, let’s go see if lunch is ready.”


    With that, she turned and walked towards the nchet Vi’s dining room, with Baberin arms.


    Chase followed, whispering. “Seriously though, do you want to go to the movies with me?”


    “No!” Belinda’s heart raced She couldn’t handle Chase ying with her emotions like this. She


    quickened her pace and entered the house with Baber


    Perfect timing, Marissa had just finished preparing lunch.


    She greeted them with a warm smile, “Belinda, perfect timing. We were about to call you for lunch.


    Come, have a seat! Let’s see if you like our food.”


    Belinda politely responded and took a seat next to Ellinor with Baber.


    Upon seeing Ellinor, Baber reached out for her.


    Ellinor naturally took Baber from Belinda. Even though they weren’t rted by blood, she knew Baber


    had grown attached to her, and she didn’t mind.


    At the dining table, besides Belinda, Chase, and Ida, Devin had also invited Veronica nchet and


    Moran, who was tutoring her, to join them. The table was buzzing with activity


    Putnam nchet, not a fan of the hustle and bustle, decided to have his meal sent to his room.


    Marissa took the head of the table, graciously urging everyone to cat more while constantly filling up


    Ellinor’s te.


    Ellinor didn’t eat much herself but fed Baber quite a bit.


    Marissa initially didn’t want Baber to disturb Ellinor’s meal, but he seemed to only want to be with


    Ellinor as if he were her own child. Left with no choice, she let


    Ellinor feed him.
