Bella was startled.
She turned around slowly with eyes full of indifference, as if he were a stranger.
Justin, who was just a few steps away, stood frozen on the spot. He felt so alone when he saw Bella
and Christopher standing together. His tall body trembled, and he felt as if he had
stepped off a tall building, free-falling to the ground.
He pursed his lips and lowered his gaze. That was when he noticed that Bellaâs arm was wrapped in
gauze. His heart clenched, and he subconsciously took a step forward to get closer to her.
âYour armâ¦â
Bella stepped back as if Justin were contagious. It gave Christopher the opportunity to step in front of
her to protect her.
Justinâs throat tightened. He looked into the manâs sullen eyes, and electric sparks seemed to be
coursing between them in a silent fight.
âI wonât allow what happened at the bar to happen again.â
Christopher pushed his gold-rimmed glasses slightly. His narrowed eyes were dark and aggressive.
âYou have already snatched her from me once. Do you think I will let you do it a second time?â
âWho are you to her?â Justin stared at Christopher with intense eyes and asked in a cold voice. Justin
had been deceived horribly by Bellaâs brothers before, so he was afraid that this man was also one of
Wyattâs elusive sons.
However, the way this man looked at Bella was full of affection and longing. It did not look like brotherly
love.
âSomeone closer and more important to me than you will ever be.â Bella opened her mouth at this
moment and stabbed Justin with her harsh words.
Christopher looked back at Bella with a satisfied smile.
âJustin, I remember telling you off at the karaoke bar just now. I really donât understand why you keep
pestering me.â

The manâs eyes suddenly turned red. âBella, are you naive? You got drunk with a stranger. Iâm afraid
that youâllâ¦â
Bella frowned impatiently and interrupted him with disdain. âI donât care what you think. Your opinions
disgust me. Iâve already vomited once tonight, so donât make me puke another tÃme, Mr. Salvador.â
Those words could not be more heartbreaking for Justin.
Justinâs pale lips parted, and the jealousy in the deepest part of his heart arose.
There were so many shocking events today that shook Justin to the core. His headache
overwhelmed his nerves, and he felt like he was one step away from an emotional breakdown.
Why? Why was he so hung up on her after they got divorced?
Did he really regret getting divorced?
Justin fell into an endless loop of self-doubt.
Was he wrong from the beginning?
âMr. Salvador! Ms. Gold⦠Ms. Gold is no longer in critical condition.â
At this time, Ian rushed over and shouted the good news. He did not notice that Bella was also there.
By the time Ian saw Bella, it was too late.
Seeing their gloomy expressions, Ian really wanted to slap his big mouth.
âMr. Salvador, it turns out that you already have a partner.â
})
Christopher figured out everything in an instant. He curled his lips slightly and said, âThen why are you
still pestering Ms. Thompson? Do you want a polygamous relationship?â
Justinâs eyes darkened, while Ian was speechless.
That was unpleasant to hear.
Bellaâs eyes widened slightly in shock. She thought, âHe called me Ms. Thompson⦠He actually knows
who I am?!â
âNow that youâre divorced, you shouldnât continue to pester Ms. Thompson. This is basic etiquette.â
Christopher glanced at Justin with cold eyes. âSince you canât be a good husband, you can at least be
a decent human.â
âWhat are you saying? Are you insulting Mr. Salvador?!â Ianâs face flushed with anger as he stepped
forward to defend Justin.
âItâs alright. Leave him alone. Letâs go back.â Bella did not want to cause unnecessary trouble in a
public space.
âOkay.â Christopher put on a gentle smile and returned to Bellaâs side obediently.
Justin watched as the outstanding couple gradually disappeared from his field of vision. His heart
stopped, and the blood in his body solidified into ice.
