During lunch, they still ate together yet Eli's response to her was either 'hn' or 'no'. He never said a whole statement to her and obviously, something was wrong with him. Ever since they pretended to be in a relationship, they never got into a heated fight. The only time they never talked was when she had personal issues that affected him.

[What if he heard the little guy earlier?] Ceres questioned deep in Belle's mind. [He probably heard the part where you dated Prince in the past?]
(And what is the matter with that? I 'dated' him in the past.) She responded while quoting the past to clarify this matter. (Besides, it's not like I'm still seeing the man, and another thing, our date wasn't really a date because his real girlfriend was always present.)
[What if he didn't like the idea that you dated someone in the past?]
