The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1410

Belinda gasped with surprise and delight. "Holy cow! I've seen so many videos online of babies kicking in the womb, but I never imagined it would be this intense. Auntie, doesn't the baby being active in there bother you?"

Ellinor’s eyes glowed with maternal warmth as she gently stroked her belly with a teasing smile. "It's not that bad. But this little one is a real troublemaker, just like your uncle."

Belinda, with a dreamy look on her face, rested her chin in her hands. "That's so wonderful, Auntie. I just know you and Uncle will have the kind of love that lasts forever and grow old together in bliss. I'm so envious. I wish I had that kind of love."

Ellinor raised an eyebrow at her. "Don't you have a boyfriend? It's about time you think about getting really serious with him."

The mention of her 'boyfriend' made the expression on Belinda's face dim. "Auntie, we actually broke up..."

Ellinor didn't seem surprised. "Why did you break up?"

Belinda sighed in frustration. "Well... he proposed to me, and I got scared, so I didn't accept."

Ellinor squinted her eyes thoughtfully. "Are you afraid of getting married?"

Belinda furrowed her brows as a somewhat confused expression appeared on her face. "I'm not scared of marriage. In fact, I've always admired the idea of it and often fantasized about my own wedding.

You know, Auntie, I was once about to get married, but the wedding was called off when I found out that the guy was a jerk. Before that, I was really looking forward to the wedding and the marriage.

But for some reason, when Jacob proposed, I felt very resistant."

Ellinor saw through it all. "It's simple. It’s because you don't love him."

Belinda froze as if she'd been struck by lightning.

She didn't love Jacob.

That was true. She really didn't.
