The relationship between Arnold and Tracy was never genuine, they were just using each other. So she didnât believe in true love.
When she found out she wasnât Arnoldâs biological daughter, understood her connection to the Howard family, and met her real dad, McNeil Howard, she realized that McNeil was nothing more than a total hypocrite. His actions even made Arnold look good.
McNeil had pursued her mom in the name of love, but not long after he got her, he started to stay out and mess around with other women. He even fathered a child out of wedlock. On top of that, he doubted her momâs loyalty, accused her of infidelity, and even conspired with the Howards to kick her out of the family. What a jerk!
âEllinor, do you believe in love now?â Belinda asked.
Ellinorâs gaze grew complicated as she thought about the person who left without saying goodbye. She responded, âIâm not sure.â
Belinda was confused and asked, âWhat do you mean youâre not sure? Arenât you with my uncle because you love him?*
âI just know that my feelings for him are deep, so deep that Iâd do anything for him. Whether or not itâs love, I canât say for sure. I canât guarantee what will happen in the future. Plus, Iâm not even sure if he feels the same way about me.â
Belinda said confidently, âEllinor, Iâm sure that my uncle loves you. He really does love you!â
Ellinor smiled and said, âReally?â
If he really loved her, then why hadnât he contacted her yet?
He should have reached his destination by now!
Couldnât he even make a call or send a message?
On the other side.
When Ida walked out of the hospital, she happened to be seen by Byran, who had just sent Bartlett away. He wanted to go over and ask her where she was going.
But before he could get close, Ida had already hopped into a luxury car driven by a chauffeur and left.
Without hesitation, Byran hailed a cab and followed Idaâs car.
He needed to find out who Ida was and what her relationship with Ellinor was.
Idaâs car didnât go far before it pulled into a hotel parking lot. The cab behind it followed suit.
Ida knocked on the door of the presidential suite and glanced at her watch.
The door opened, and Chase stood there bareâchested, wearing only a towel around his waist. His hair was wet, looking like he had just taken a shower.
