Chapter 1348


    Chapter 1348 Upon hearing his girlfriend’s words, Jacob felt a bit helpless. He hesitated for a moment


    before responding, “Alright, I’ll head back to work first. Don’t forget to call me when you get home,


    okay?”Belinda nodded. “Sure, I’ll call you as soon as I get home.” Jacob hugged Belinda, looking a bit


    reluctant to let her go. He shot a deep nce at Chase, then turned and left, hopping into a taxi.


    Belinda felt a bit stiff from the recent hug with her boyfriend. She and Jacob had been dating for quite a


    while, but there was never any intimate contact between them. Every time Jacob tried to get close, she


    would instinctively pull away. It was not because she didn’t want to seriously date Jacob. She truly


    believed that Jacob was a good guy. But for some reason she couldn’t quite put her finger on it; she


    just couldn’t ept Jacob’s intimacy. It felt awkward. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Chase’s


    voice. “Hop in. The evening breeze is a bit chilly.” Belinda came to her senses and looked at Chase.


    She saw his beautiful eyes and then subconsciously dodged his gaze. She nodded in eptance of


    his kindness, got into his car, and sat in the back seat. Chase didn’t sit back in the front seat but joined


    her in the back. Belinda felt a bit uneasy seeing Chase sit with her in the back. But when she noticed


    Ida sitting in the front passenger seat, she felt slightly better. However, Ida seemed to understand their


    feelings and raised the partition between the front and back seats, not wanting to disturb them. Belinda


    was speechless. She suddenly regretted getting into this car.. Chase sensed Belinda’s difort and


    chuckled. “Why so nervous? I’m not going to eat you.” Belindaughed awkwardly. “I’m not nervous;


    I’m just worried about my uncle.” Chase subtly moved a bit closer to her. “Really? Not because of me?”


    Belinda jumped, looking nervously at the suddenly close Chase. “What…what are you doing?” Chase


    grinned at her. “And you say it’s not because of me?”


    Belinda turned her face away. “Don’t take advantage of my boyfriend leaving to get too close. If you


    keep doing this, I’m getting out.” Chase stopped teasing her. He moved away a bit, sighed with a hint of


    sadness, and asked, “How many times have you two hugged?” Belinda was confused. “What?” “I


    mean, how many times have you and Jacob hugged like you did just now?” Belinda frowned, finding


    his question weird. “Why should I answer such a question?” Chase silently looked at her, then gave a


    bitter smile. “You don’t have to answer, but I can’t help asking because I’m jealous.” Belinda’s heart


    skipped a beat. What did he just say? Chaseughed at himself. “This is the first time I’ve felt jealous


    over a woman. So this is what being jealous feels like. It’s pretty ufortable.” Belinda looked at


    Chase as her heartbeat suddenly quickened. She couldn’t tell if what he said was sincere from his


    confident and handsome face, but she was indeed attracted by his charm. She knew it was wrong to


    feel this way. She shouldn’t have such feelings for another man right after Jacob left. Chase asked, “So


    I really have no chance anymore?” Belinda was taken aback, forcing herself to look out the car window


    at the police station’s entrance. “Now’s not the time to discuss this, so you’d better keep quiet. I just


    want to wait for my uncle and aunt toe out.”This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
