Chapter 9

“Well, I am more worried about that guy. Rosey is a handful. Poor guy, if he decided to date her.” Ron’s answer made Ella roll her eyes.

“Stop being mean to her.”

“From dating, I remember Blaze was in town for a while.”

“Who, Blaze?” Ella asked in confusion.

“Your hot doctor whom you were dreaming about sitting in my cabin.”

“Oh, that Blaze. You are exaggerating things way out of proportion. He was just telling me about his residency days. Plus, he also told me about your so-called desire with Kristy.”

“I am just going to ignore your last sentence. And anyway, I don’t understand your crushes on doctors, especially Blaze.”

“Imagine Kristy in a doctor’s coat.”

After not getting an answer for a few seconds, Ella said, “Figured.”

“You know, you should only think of me as a desirable person and not Blaze, as I am your future husband.” Ella could imagine him smirking.

“Ha-ha-ha!! Not Funny.”

“Okay. Don’t forget you are having lunch with me. So, Chinese or Italian?”

“You even need to ask.” She asked with sarcasm.

“See you then, babe.”

“Ya bye.” She chuckled at their stupid conversation.

“Who’s Blaze and Ron?” Tim asked her immediately after the call ended.

“Ron is Rosey’s brother and my best friend, who is also a doctor. And as for Blaze, he is one of Ron’s colleagues and his best friend. He makes temporary visits here once in a while.”

Before Tim could ask any more questions, their stop came, and both Tim and Dan got out, but not before telling, “I am not dating Candice. Never had, never have, and never will.”

Ella was relieved that her sister and Dan were not together. At first, she was furious to learn that Dan started going out with her when she left, but then she made herself accept the truth. She sometimes had her doubts but let it slide as she knew how Candice was. Plus, after she found out about her pregnancy, she knew that she needed to get away, as Dan deserves someone far better than her.

Dan was disheartened. Ella never denied getting married to that Ron guy. He hoped that it was a joke that she played with her friends against Candice, but it wasn’t the case. So, she moved on and, on top of that, Ron is a doctor. Just great!

Another shocker, Ella was not a Bellatrix kid. No wonder she and Candice never treated her right. But why did he not know about it? Why did Ella hide it from him?

Life is getting more complicated for him. Questions were increasing, and he had no answers to them.

As for Tim, he found something fishy. There was more to the story than Ella let out. And he didn’t believe for a bit that Ella was marrying a guy named Ron. Their talk looked more like a joke which no one would understand except for Ella and Ron.
