Chapter 1044
When Ellinor saw Chase walk in, she nonchalantly raised an eyebrow.
What was this guy doing here?
Veronica was stunned by Chase's good looks for a moment, but since she had a crush on someone e
her eyes and asked grumpily. âWho are you? You just barged in without knocking; you've got some
nerve!â
Chase looked at Veronica, gave a small smile, then turned to look at Ellinor, who was resting in
bed, and said with a meaningful grin, âI didnât have to knock when I used to go to her room.â
Veronica was instantly on guard. She took a good look at the intruder, then turned to
Ellinor, âWhat? Are you Ellinor's ex?â
Chase chuckled suggestively without denying it.
Veronica took it seriously, and she snapped, âEllinor, that's too much! My brother's not around, so yc
want to have a proper life with my brother?â
Ellinor lazily rubbed her
temples and glanced at Veronica, âIgnore him! I don't have an ex, and even if I did, it wouldn't be hin
Veronica was taken aback but was still skeptical, âReally?â
Chase furrowed his brows, looking a bit peeved. âHow could you belittle me in front of

us! It's all my mom's specialty dishes!â
Veronica found Belindaâs softened voice and tone weird, so
she observed Belindaâs expression. As a girl, how could she not see that Belinda had a
thing for this new hottie?

Hm! He was no match for her Moran!
Chase glanced at Belinda and gave a gentle smile, âNo need; I already had breakfast with a friend.â
Belinda looked a bit disappointed, âOh, if you've eaten, then just sit and chill for a bit!"
Saying that, Belinda quickly ran to fetch a chair for Chase.
Chase didn't bother with formalities, so he thanked her and sat down. His gaze didn't
linger on Belinda, and his smile was merely out of politeness.
His gaze on Ellinor, however, was much more serious, âHow are you? Does your wound hurt?â
Ellinor shook her head, âNo.â
Chase said, âDid you get hurt anywhere else? You can't hide anything from me!"
