Bella thought to herself, âWhat the hell is that bastard doing out there? Is he trying to gain sympathy by
doing this? Does he think that Iâll fall for such a despicable trick?!â
Bellaâs heart burned with rage. She turned around and wanted to go. back to her room, but she
stopped after taking two steps.
The rain in late fall was not like the one in the summer. The temperatures in Savrow can reach below 0
Celsius at night during the fall.
Justin had been standing outside for 3 to 4 hours, and he was wearing thin clothes.
Bella thought, âWhat if he wonât leave? If he froze to death at my doorstep, wouldnât I have to explain it
to the police? How troublesome!
Thinking of this, Bella quickly walked back to her room, picked up her phone, and called Justin.
As a result, Justinâs phone was turned off.
Bella could not understand what Justin was trying to do.
Justinâs self-torture did not arouse Bellaâs sympathy, but it aroused her curiosity.
Thus, she quickly walked to the entrance, opened the door, and walked out with a huge black umbrella.
When Justin saw Bellaâs thin and slender figure walking toward him, he thought he was hallucinating
from standing too long in the cold rain.
Justin only realized that Bella was real when she was right in front of him. He suddenly froze. A warmth
surged in his heart, and his eyes widened with joy.
âWhat on earth are you trying to do? Get yourself killed?!â Bellaâs voice was sharp as she reprimanded
him.
âAre you cold, dressed like this?â
Justin still looked cold and emotionless. His hands trembled slightly as he unbuttoned the middle button
of his suit jacket. He wanted to take off his jacket and put it on for her, but he realized that his jacket
was already soaked through, so he froze in embarrassment.
âWhy did you turn off your phone?â Bella asked, furious.
âThe battery died,â Justin answered honestly, like a stupid husband being scolded by his wife.
Inexplicably, he was delighted by her fierceness. He was a bit masochistic.
âWere you planning to stand like this all night if I didnât come out to see you?â
âYes, I have something to tell you.â
Bella laughed in exasperation, her chest heaving. âJustin, why do you always make me despise you so
much? Apart from such despicable tricks, canât you do something more original? Are you a scumbag or
the president of Salvador Corporation?â
âI donât care what the means are as long as I can see you.â Justinâs deep voice was cold, but his eyes
were incredibly alluring.
Bella was so angry that her breathing became rapid. Her puffed-out, trembling chest made Justinâs
eyes darken with desire.
Fortunately, he was a gentleman with principles. Otherwise, no ordinary man would be able to control
himself with that view.
âYou couldnât sleep well tonight?â
âWhat?â
âI remember that you never got up at night before. You always slept until dawn.â
Bellaâs heart trembled, and her grip on the umbrella handle tightened.
When they first got married, they slept in the same bed for almost half a year.
Even if they shared the same bed, Justin would only turn his back to her. There was always a huge gap
between them, like the Grand Canyon.
She knew that Justin was a light sleeper, but she did not know that he had also paid attention to her.
âDidnât you have something to say? Spit it out! Itâs cold out here!â
Bella couldnât help but shiver.
âLetâs talk in the car.â
Justin grabbed the umbrella from her hand and quickly opened the
car door with his other hand. He pushed her into the car without further explanation.
The car was humid as soon as they got inside.
In the dim light, Bella noticed how Justinâs pale and thin lips were trembling slightly. His hands on his
knees were already turning purple from the cold.
She pursed her lips. Justin took out a blanket from somewhere and wrapped it tightly around her
delicate body.
âI found the person behind the expose. Itâs a woman named Xena Gordon. Her father is Michael
Gordon. You should be familiar with him, so you should also know why she did this. Xena Gordon was
waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.â
Bella raised her eyes in shock. âYou came here just to tell me this?â
âYes, but not entirely.â
Justinâs restrained voice was trembling. âI also wanted to see if you were sad or affected by this
incident.â
