The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 1270

Chase took the chocolate but didn’t eat it. He just held it and asked. “Did you buy this chocolate, or was it Jacob?”

Belinda replied honestly. “Jacob bought it for me.”

Chase raised an eyebrow. “You’re moved by a box of chocolate worth a couple of bucks? I thought it would take at

least high-end chocolates to impress you.”

Belinda expressed her dissatisfaction with Chase’s attitude.

“Mr. Larios, either eat it or give me back the chocolate! Not everyone is as loaded as you, who is able to casually

buy a box of chocolates worth hundreds of dollars.”

Chase chuckled at her. “You actually can. Your uncle could even invite a top-notch chocolatier to your house to

make you chocolates on the spot, right?” Belinda’s eyes flickered. “I could, but Jacob can’t. His family is just

average earners; they can’t afford to splurge on chocolates.”

Chase laughed lightly. “Spending a bit extra on chocolates for his girlfriend is considered wasteful?”

Belinda was clearly upset, and she defended her boyfriend. “If I asked, Jacob would definitely buy it for me! But I

don’t want him to waste money because of me!” Chase shook his head with a smile. He casually put the chocolate

on a side table, stood up, and looked down at Belinda somewhat smugly.

“Do you know that it’s best for girls not to lower their living standards? You can save for him once or twice, but can

you keep lowering your living standards for him in the long run?”

Belinda avoided Chase’s gaze and turned her face. “How am I lowering my living standards? You told me before

that Jacob’s family is not bad. His parents are educated, and you said he’s excellent.”

Chase sighed lightly, “I did say that, but it was to other female employees in the company. I didn’t expect you to fall

for Jacob so quickly.”

This “fall for” made Belinda uncomfortable, implying that she had fallen out of love with him. But they were never

together in the first place!

“All I want is someone by my side for the rest of my life, who offers me stable support. I don’t care about money!”

Chase leaned in as he looked at the naive Belinda. “Belinda, even if you don’t choose me, don’t be swayed by a box

of cheap chocolates! You deserve someone better!”

Belinda’s ears turned red, and she instinctively stepped back, chuckling uncomfortably. “I appreciate your high

opinion of me.”

“I’m serious; you shouldn’t trust men easily. Being broke and refusing to spend money on you are two different

things.”

Belinda paused and then frowned. “I never thought I’d hear something like this from you!”

Chase didn’t say much and just gently patted her head. “If you want to date, then do it. I won’t cause you trouble

anymore. If one day you want to come back to me, I’ll always welcome you.”

Belinda was silent.

What did that mean?

For three consecutive days, Collin would come here early in the morning and stay all day. In the evening, the

Blanchet family’s bodyguard would take over his shift. Ellinor, Ida, and Chase gradually adjusted to this situation.

Since they couldn’t make them leave, having free bodyguards to watch over the house wasn’t a bad thing.

On this day, Collin came early as usual, standing guard at the front door.

Chase and Ida had both left for the company, leaving Ellinor alone at home.

Around ten o’clock, the doorbell rang.
