Belinda gave a nod, "If you didn't like kids, how would you have the patience to make them happy?"
Chase responded, "I just noticed you looked a bit worn out holding the kid, so I came over to lend a hand."
Belinda was taken aback, and her heart skipped a beat. He said he helped her because he thought she was tired.
Hold on! Don't overthink it. Chase was always fair and impartial to women; there was no hidden meaning.
Belinda quickly dismissed the unnecessary thoughts in her head, saying, "Thanks, Mr. Larios. But I think you actually like kids. If you didn't, even holding them would feel like a chore. My ex-boyfriend was like that; he didn't like kids and was always cold towards them."
Upon hearing Belinda mention her ex-boyfriend, Chase squinted his eyes and chuckled, "Then why were you still with him?"
Belinda sighed. "He treated me well. He always tried to make me happy, and I thought that once we had our own kids, he would definitely become more tender towards them. But later, I found out that his kindness to me was all fake. He just wanted to use me and take advantage of my family's connection with the Blanchet family."
As she spoke, Belinda's face turned gloomy.
Chase held Baber's hand and gently poked Belinda's face.
Belinda snapped back to reality, feeling a little awkward.
Chase softly said, "Forget about the past. Don't blame yourself, either. You're great; it's all that guy's fault."
She was great? Belinda was a bit surprised. Was Mr. Larios trying to comfort her?
Even though she was great, he still didn't like her? This kind of consolation made her even more self-doubting.
Just then, Belinda's phone rang, playing a cheerful tune.
She took out her phone and answered, "Hello, Jacob? What's up?"
