Belle kept thinking of Eli's words on the way to Jackson's hometown. (Of all the things he could ask from me, why did he ask for a date?)
[Is that something you should still ask? Of course, he wanted to date you.]
(You are the only one who could think of such reasoning.)
[Fine. So, what do you think is the reason why he wanted to go on a date with you?]
(Maybe his parents are pressuring him about our relationship, so he could only go on a date with me to show them that we're doing great as a couple.)
[You are denser compared to osmium.] Ceres thought and ignored Belle. As long as Belle kept denying what was right in front of her, nothing good would happen even if Ceres would push the truth into Belle's brain.
Belle didn't think too much about it. Today was meant for Jackson and his family. She didn't want to think about anyone else, most especially Eli who likes to stir trouble in her mind and heart.
