Chapter 537: Chapter 537

“I like you, Bella. I’ve fallen for you,” Justin declared.

Bella’s breath was stuck in her throat, and she subconsciously took a step back. She felt a mix of

emotions that were difficult to put into words upon hearing this man confess to her.

The room fell silent. Amidst the silence, both could hear the pounding of their own hearts.

“Justin, if you had confessed to me in the past three years, I would have accepted without hesitation.

Unfortunately, we’re not in the past. As I’ve told you before, the feelings between us have long expired.”

Bella’s gaze was distant and indifferent. “I stopped loving you a time ago.”

“I’m sorry! I know all this is a bit too late, but I am determined, and won’t give up!” Justin’s forehead

was covered with sweat. He wanted to get closer to her but was worried that she might run away

without looking back.

His heart was in turmoil as he said, “Even if you don’t love me, okay. This time, let me be the one to

sacrifice. Let me… Love you.”

Justin had never used the word “love” with Rosalind before, but this time, he couldn’t control the urge to

say it to Bella.

“Enough! I don’t need to be loved by someone that I don’t love! How many times do I have to say it for

you to remember?” Bella countered, determined to shut him up. “If you dare to spout such nonsense

again, I’ll turn around and leave right now!”

Justin choked on his words and obediently kept silent.

After a while, seeing that Bella’s expression had softened slightly, he cautiously asked, “If I don’t bring it

up again, will you stay with me tonight?”

Bella scoffed, “Haha, dream on.”

“Didn’t you say that since I saved you, you would agree to one request? As long as it’s not too much.”

Justin’s gaze sparkled, still not giving up.

“Yesterday, didn’t you…?” Bella recalled yesterday’s event in this ward.

Justin had taken her lips, held her waist, pressed her into his arms, and gave her a passionate and

lingering kiss.

Her cheeks turned crimson, and her whole body felt as if it h caught fire, burning with heat.

“Are you talking about that kiss? That doesn’t count.” Justin hooked his thin lips, his voice soft and low.

Seeing Bella’s rare, shy expression, he smiled with delight.

“Doesn’t count?!” Bella exclaimed. She felt that this divorced man his thirties was truly a sly and

cunning fox!

“I forcefully kissed you, but you fought back.” Justin pointed to hi already scabbed lips. “This is the

evidence.”

“Serves you right! To deal with a rogue like you, biting your mouth to shreds wouldn’t be excessive.”

Bella grew angrier the more she thought about it. Her little face turned flushed.

“Alright, come on.” Justin leaned back, extending a sincere invitation to her.

Bella bit her teeth. Looking at the man’s smug appearance, she really wanted to flip his bed!

Bella was not bothered to argue with Justin, who was morally blackmailing her to stay the night.

She could only resign herself to staying the night with him.

As Bella came over in a hurry, she did not bring anything with her. She had Steven return to her villa in

Savrow to bring some necessities.

Steven returned with a small suitcase in the hospital corridor, loo serious.

Bella said, “Thank you, Steve. You can go back and rest tonight. Con pick me up early tomorrow

morning.”

Bella tried to take the suitcase, but Steven, with red eyes, refused to let go. “Ms. Bella, come back

home with me.”

“Steve, since Justin has made this request and it’s not too unreasonable, I will repay the favor,” Bella

said calmly.

“But, Ms. Bella, what if he has ulterior motives and does something to you if you stay with him in the

same room?”

“We were married for three years. If he really wanted to do something, would he wait until now?”

“But…”

Bella waved dismissively, “Don’t worry, even scoundrels understand the law.”
