    Chapter 1143


    Meanwhile, somewhere else.


    Belinda was sshing cold water on her face in the bathroom. She lifted her head and saw her


    smeared makeup in the mirror. Suddenly, she was overwhelmed with self loathing.


    She felt like she really was a pain in the ass.


    She almost got married once, naively thinking she was the happiest woman in the world. But her groom


    betrayed her with another woman in the storage room right before the ceremony.

    When the truth came out, her groom flew off the handle, even threatening her with her private photos


    It was Theo and Ellinor who helped her out of that mess


    If it hadn’t been for the quests’ respect for Theo, she would’ve been aughingstock.


    And here she was, once again, foolishly falling for Chase, despite Ellinor’s constant warnings. She


    stubbornly believed she was the special one who could change Chase, and look how that turned out.


    She became a joke yet again!


    She was the kind of joke who would buy contraceptives for the man she loved and his other woman.


    No wonder Veronica said what she did.


    Knock, knock!


    Someone knocked on the bathroom door, pulling Belinda out of her thoughts. Assuming someone else


    needed to use the bathroom, she quickly wiped her face with a tissue and prepared to open the door


    When she opened the door, she was greeted by Chase standing there, looking at her seriously.


    Belinda felt a bit awkward, “Mr. Lanos. I’m done here, you can use the bathroom now.”


    Subconsciously lowering her head, she quickly stepped aside to let him in.


    But before she could even take a step out, Chase’s long arm reached cut and pulled her back into the


    bathroom.


    The bathroom door was closed and locked.


    Belinda was taken aback, “Mr. Larios?”


    Chase’s cool fingers lightly brushed away a tear from her eye. “Your makeup’s smeared. Have you


    been crying?”


    Belinda’s eyes dodged his, “No, I just washed my face.”


    Chase showed a rare hint of remorse, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have put you in such an embarrassing


    situation.”


    Belinda was stunned, she didn’t expect Chase to apologize. It took her a moment to respond, “No, I


    brought it upon myself. I’ve been a joke ever since my wedding fiasco,”


    Chase’s brow furrowed slightly. “Who said you were a joke?”


    Belinda warned herself not to read too much into it. Chase didn’t mean anything by it, “Mr. Larios, I


    know you don’t like me. Rejecting me the way you did was not wrong, I don’t me you.”


    Chase looked at her in silence for a moment, then pulled out several small boxes from his pocket.


    Belinda looked at the objects in Chase’s hand, and her face immediately turned red. Those were the


    contraceptives she bought for Chasest time.


    Why would he bring them out?
