After the banquet, Chaney drove Bella home. On the way, he couldn’t help asking about James.
“Bella, who was that guy?” He could clearly feel that Bella’s mood had changed since meeting him.
“He…” Bella had no idea how to explain who James was. She hesitated.
“Bella, can you tell me, is he Abby’s father?”
“Chaney, please,” Bella murmured. She didn’t want to recall what had happened before.
Chaney sighed and stopped asking.
“Bella, I love you. I am serious.”
Bella didn’t know how to reply, especially after what was going on with James. “Chaney, you’re like a brother to me but… nothing more.”
“I know that… I have always known that…” Chaney murmured. “But Bella, as long as you are not married, I will not give up.”
He stared at Bella as he spoke, with a determined look in his eyes.
