They are time and oneâs heart. If someoneâs heart is no longer with you, no matter what you do to please them, their heart will never return to you. So, why waste a ton of energy on a lost cause? You should focus more on your career, better yourself, and take controlâ
Belinda paused looking at Ellinor as if she was looking at an idol, âEllinor, youâre so right! I need to learn from you. From now on, I wonât obsess over men and will fully devole myself to my career!â
Ellinor worried that she might misunderstand, patiently explained, âThis doesnât mean love is bad. Love can enrich our emotional lives, and thatâs a wonderful thing. But you canât just hand over your heart, and you definitely canât hand over your future to a man, compromising yourself just to please him, you get me?â
Belinda nodded, signaling her understanding. âYep, I got it! Thanksâ
Even though Ellinor wasnât sure if Belinda understood, she had said all she could and sipped her coffee.
She had never been in a relationship, all the advice she gave was based on her gut feeling.
She hoped that Belinda could take something away from all this, not be fooled by some sweet talking men.
Just then, Ellinorâs phone rang She glanced at the screen, it was a call from Theoâs new number.
He had given her his old phone and number and got himself a new one.
She answered the call and Theoâs deep voice came through the phone, âWhere are you?â
Ellinor replied: âTheo, Iâm at the city center mallâ
âWith whom?â
âBelinda â
Theo said, âTell me where you are exactly. Til send someone to pick you up.â
Ellinor blinked, âTheo, youâre back?â
âYeah, just landed.â
âTheo, you donât have to send someone. Belinda drove us here; sheâll take me home.â
Theo was silent for two seconds, then responded, âThen, come to Pearl Moon after youâre done shopping I need to talk to you.â
Pearl Moon? Was Theo throwing her a birthday party? The thought of meeting his friends and family made Ellinor frown, âCan I not goâ¦â
âNoâ Theo instantly interrupted her as if guessing her thoughts, âYou have to come, I want to see you.â
Ellinor struggled to find a response.
Her heart suddenly raced.
He said he wanted to see her.
Theo who was always so calm, why was he suddenly so eager to see her?
She remembered that before Theo left for his business trip, he told her that when he returned, they needed to talk seriously about their relationship.
What exactly did Theo want to talk about?
What more was there to say about their relationship? That man was a little odd, was heâ¦
Somehow, Belinda was next to the phone, shouting. âTheo, donât worry! Iâll make sure Ellinor gets there!â
Just as Ellinor hung up, Belinda was there again, livening up the atmosphere.
âEllinor, youâve bought Theoâs present, now buy something nice for yourself! You havenât seen Theo in so long, you have to dress up to see him!â
Ellinor said, âWhy do you carry a camera with you?â
Belinda just took out a professional camera from her bag and pointed it at Ellinor. She laughed, âIâm making a vlog, recording my daily life to post on Twitter!â
Ellinor was puzzled, âDo you need such professional equipment to make a vlog?â
âCause it has a higher resolutionâ
Belinda had anticipated what was going to happen today, so she had prepared the camera in advance.
She wanted to capture the moment when Theo formally tells Ellinor he likes her, to keep it as a souvenir, and maybe use it to blackmail Theo!
At Belindaâs enthusiastic recommendation, Ellinor went to a womenâs clothing store to try on a white dress. To match the dress, the saleswoman put a simple diamond hair clip next to her ear Holding the camera, Belinda was stunned, âEllinor, youâre so beautiful!â
Ellinor felt a little weird dressed like this, she wanted to take it off But Belinda wouldnât let her change back. After quickly paying for the clothes, Belinda pulled her out of the mall and hurriedly drove toward Pearl Moonâ¦
