âWilma, you've taken excellent care of the house these days. Thank you for your hard work.â
Justin wrapped his arm around Bellaâs waist, and the two stood
before Wilma, appearing like a newlywed couple returning from their
honeymoon.
They had an unspoken agreement not to tell Wilma about Justinâs severe injuries. Given her age, they did not want to worry her
unnecessarily, even after surviving such a harrowing experience.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
lan was carrying two large food containers, sweat dripping from his
forehead as he entered.
âM-Mr. Salvador, | finally managed to secure the order from Fortune
Cloud Eatery you requested last night!â
âFortune Cloud Eatery? Gosh... That place is notoriously diffic
get a reservation at. It usually takes at least three hours.â
Bella swallowed nervously and then turned to Justin with a
reproachful look. âWhy did you trouble Mr. Harris for this?â
âBecause you were craving something delicious.â
âWhen did | say that?!â
âLast night, in your dreams,â Justin whispered in her ears, chuckling
softly.
Bella blushed instantly, her face turning red. âY-You believe in dream
talk?!â
âNever mind that. Let's set it on the table with Wilma and eat
together.â Justin nodded with a smile.
âTogether?!â
lan was astonished, feeling honored yet surprised. He shook his head repeatedly. âThatâs not necessary. | shouldnât dine with you
at the
same table. Itâs not appropriate.â
Justin replied, âLike | said, just eat.â
lan took a sharp breath inward, but his heart blossomed with joy.
He finally figured everything out. Justin and Bellaâs relationship must have taken a significant leap after their trip to Terranova.
Justin would finally marry his long-time sweetheart, and Bella
Officially established her place in the family!
Around the dining table, everyone indulged in the sumptuous
At this moment, there was no distinction between employer and
employee. They were simply a close-knit family.
In fact, Wilma and lan had already become like family to Justin ov
the years.
After the meal, Bella and Wilma tidied up the kitchen, while Justin summoned lan to the small living room for a discussion.
âMr. Salvador, during your absence, a few issues arose at the Salvador Corporation,â lan whispered, lowering his voice.
âIs it concerning the collaboration with Journey Ventures from
Meridan?â
During this period, Justin had been in a state of unconsciousness and focused on recuperating.
Bella kept a close eye on him, not wanting him to exert himself
further. Hence, she took his phone away while he was in the hospital, preventing him from contacting lan immediately.
Due to this, Justin was unaware of what happened at the Salvador
Corporation.
âNo issues have arisen. On the contrary, things have progressed very
smoothly.â
âWell, isnât smooth progress a good thing?â Justin frowned. âBut your demeanor suggests otherwise. Did something go wrong
with the
collaboration?â
âThe person in charge of the collaboration isnât Chairman Salvador.
It's Mr. Grant.â
âM-My brother...?â Justin's eyes narrowed, his heart tightening.
âYes. In your absence, Mr. Grant represented you at the meeting
negotiated the collaboration with the chairman of Journey Venture
lanâs expression soured as he recalled the matter. He voiced some
discontent toward Grant. âHe has
been living in seclusion in Merida
showing no infeteseirhé oe

suddenly appear at such a crucial
moment? It seems too
coincidental! | find Mr. Grant's

âlan, donât speak like that.â
Justinâs expression turned serious.
âMy brother is my lifesaver. Back
then, he risked his |j ife ¢9 gave rain, |

suffering from a serious illness
