Chapter 1768 Ellinorâs lips curled into a sardonic smile. âIf youâre so concerned about your dad, shouldnât you be at the hospital? Why are you here?â Byran, arms folded, replied, âIsnât it lunchtime?
My brother is keeping an eye on our dad at the hospital, so I thought Iâd step out and grab a bite with Ida. Sis, how about you join me at the hospital to check on Dad after lunch?â Ellinor responded coldly, âNo, thanks. Heâs your dad, not mine.â Byran pouted. âEllinor, canât you just see him as an elderly man who could use some compassion?â Ellinor laughed. âIâd rather use that time to care for stray cats and dogs. Why should I worry about a middle-aged man whoâs never experienced hardship?â Caught off guard, Byran stammered, âUhâ¦â After finishing the sushi Chase had fed her, Belinda chimed in. âNice try, Byran. Donât think you can trick Ellinor into going to the hospital. Didnât you hear that weâve planned to go wedding dress shopping together?â Byran glanced at Belinda, choosing not to engage in a battle of wits with her. However, he couldnât help but worry about how he would explain things to his father at the hospital later. After lunch, the group made their way to Greenhavenâs most famous high-end wedding dress shop. With Belinda and Chaseâs wedding only two days away, there wasnât time for a custom gown. They would have to select an off-the-rack dress and have it altered. Faced with an assortment of beautiful gowns, Belinda felt somewhat overwhelmed. If only she could clone herself and try them all on. âEllinor, which style do you think would suit me best? I love them all! The ones with a train, the mermaid cuts, and the ones with a full skirt.â Belinda clung to Ellinorâs arm, struggling to decide.Ellinor, scanning the dresses, commented. âYour figure would look great in a dress with a train.â
While Belinda trusted Ellinorâs opinion, she found it hard to make a decision and turned to Ida, who was standing nearby. âMs. Gipson, what do you think? Which style looks best?â Ida, seemingly allergic to anything romantic, looked at the sea of white gowns with a lack of interest that was unusual for most girls. At this moment, she looked slightly exasperated and rubbed her temple. âDonât ask me; you should ask him. He seems to know more about this stuff.â Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join &

She pointed her chin in the direction of Byran, who was diligently selecting a dress. Belinda followed Idaâs gaze and saw Byran holding a dress and comparing it with her from a distance. He looked more serious than when he was playing video games. She couldnât help but smirk at the amusing sight and whispered to Ida, âHonestly, Ms. Gipson, have you ever considered marrying that guy? He seems pretty serious about you.â Ida squinted at Belinda. âWould you marry someone like him?â Belinda pondered for a moment. âWell⦠if I liked him, of course, I would. Iâm even ready to marry Chase, whoâs quite a womanizer, so why should I fear Byran? Heâs a true love warrior.â Upon hearing Chaseâs name, Ida suddenly realized that Byran wasnât that bad. âYou have a point.â âHey, why are you two gossiping about me?â Chaseâs voice suddenly interrupted their conversation. At the same moment, Belinda felt a pair of muscular arms wrap around her waist. Belinda forced a smile. âNo, no, we werenât talking about you. We were discussing Byran.â âReally?â Chase rested his chin on Belindaâs shoulder and nuzzled her cheek. âBut I distinctly heard you mention my name. I have a keen ear for when you call my name, so I wouldnât have misheard.â
