Chapter 607
Justinâs name haunted Bella.
Seeing that it was his love rival calling, Christopher hid the chilling glint behind his gold-rimmed glasses and said, âBella.â
Despite her stirring emotions, Bella decided to take the call. âHello?â
Disappointment was written all over Christopherâs eyes.
He hated Justinâs guts.
Justin looked at the lit window, not knowing if Bella was behind the window or if she could see him. His voice was hoarse.
âItâs snowing, Bella. This is Savrowâs first snowfall for the winter.â
âYeah.â
Bella kept an emotionless face. âWhy are you calling?â
Justin was stumped for words. It took a moment before he mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I invite you to see the snow together tonight?â
âDo you have a goldfish memory, Mr. Salvador?â Bella frowned in surprise.
âI donât.â
âKnowing our relationship, do you think itâs appropriate?â
âEither way, it beats your relationship with Christopher.â
Justin had a case of sour grapes.
Bella was furious and amused. âHa. Well, I donât share your sentiment."
"I wonât leave until I see you tonight, Bella.â The man was stubborn, and there was no talking sense to him.
"I wonât leave this place until you go.â Bella could be more headstrong than him.
"Are you trying to piss me off, Bella?â
Justin narrowed his eyes dangerously and clutched his chest, barely catching his breath. "Are you really going to spend the night at Christopherâs? Do you know what youâre doing?â
Rage consumed Bella.
With her back facing Christopher, she walked to a corner, took a deep breath, and said huskily, âMr. Salvador, Iâm grateful that you saved my life, but that doesnât mean you get to use it against me, forcing me to do things I donât want to.â
"I just wanted to see the first snowfall with you. Thatâs all!â
"But I donât want to! Justin, Iâm not interested in the slightest!â
Bella yelled into the phone, her dramatic reaction startling Justin.
Christopher swiftly walked up to Bella and held her trembling shoulders.
"Whatâs wrong, Bella?â Christopher drew close to her and whispered in her ear.
Justin caught Christopherâs murmurs.
Bella closed her tearful eyes and shook uncontrollably.
The scene from Christmas Eve two years ago came to mind.
Savrow welcomed a belated snowfall on Christmas Eve.
However, that scene was painted with a bloody car accident. She had only been carrying Justinâs child for less than two months.
The pain nearly tore her apart. She had to bid a gory goodbye to her unborn child.
What was Justin doing at the time?
He flew to Meridan to spend Christmas with his beloved Rosaline.
Before Bella passed out from admitting Nigel to the hospital, she had given Justin a call.
However, all she received was a cold, busy tone.
Bella gasped for air as despair washed over her.
Her consciousness faded out, and her body gave way.
