Chapter 1612
Byran comfortably nestled himself next to Ida, draping his arm around her shoulder without hesitation. “Think you
can outdo us in the lovey-dovey department? I bet you can’t.”
Ida shoved him off as her face contorted in disgust. “Compete with them by yourself?”
Byran, used to her rejection, merely shrugged. “How can I compete by myself?”
Ida ignored him completely.
Ellinor, watching the pair, was both concerned and worried.
She turned to Belinda. “Do your parents know about your wedding plans?”
Chase finally loosened his hold on Belinda, allowing her to answer Ellinor properly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBelinda blushed and nodded styly. “Yes, they do.”
Chase grinned confidently. “Not only do they know, they absolutely adore me, their future son-in-law.”
Ellinor shot Chase a skeptical look. Her gaze then rested on Belinda. “Is that so? Have your parents met this guy?”
“Yes, Ellinor. My parents have met Chase, and they quite agree with our marriage.”
Once Ellinor understood the situation, she wasn’t surprised. Chase came across as a charming and polite
gentleman. He was always smiling. It was no wonder the older folks, especially those who didn’t know him too well,
liked him.
“Since your parents agree, you can prepare for the wedding well.”
With that said, Ellinor stood and headed for the door.
Upon seeing her leave, Chase and Ida simultaneously called out to her.
“Boss, where are you going?”
Ellinor waved without looking back. “I’m heading back to the Blanchet Villa. My kids are waiting for me.”
Chase quickly stood and reached out to stop Ellinor. “Boss, don’t leave. You rarely come by; let’s have dinner
together.”
“No thanks. It’s the weekend, and I need to spend it with my kids.”
Chase sighed dramatically. “Ever since the boss had kids, she doesn’t care about me and Ida anymore.”
Ellinor frowned and glanced at him disapprovingly. “If I didn’t care about you guys, would I have come over first
thing in the morning?”
“Since you do care, let’s get together and have dinner today. Boss, you could give me some wedding advice too.”.
Ellinor was uninterested. “It’s your wedding, so figure it out yourself.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChase didn’t let go. “But you’re family to me. I need you.”
Ida approached. “Yeah, boss, no matter what, stay and have dinner with us. You don’t have to go to the office
today.”
Ellinor began to hesitate after looking at Ida. “But…”
Ida understood her concerns. “Boss, if you stay, I can go fetch the kids from the Blanchet Villa.”
Byran chimed in. “Yeah! Ida and I can go bring the kids over. Sister, let’s all get together, the kids love a good
party.”
Belinda nodded eagerly. “Ellinor, let’s have dinner together.”
Ellinor was touched by their honest requests. She then thought of her three little ones who also loved a good
gathering, so she nodded in agreement. “Alright, fine.” Chase cheered. “That’s more like it! Boss, your world can’t
just revolve around the Blanchet family and your kids. It should include us too.”
Ellinor thought she was including them in her life. What was he saying?
“Stay with your soon-to-be wife and our boss. I’ll go to the Blanchet Villa to pick up the kids.” Ida said to Chase.
