Everyone was feasting and drinking to their heart's content, completely unaware of the couple's fashionably late arrival. Justin
and Bella even changed their outfits.
At this moment, Justin felt the warmth of love, dispelling the gloom in his heart. He stood beside Bella with a radiant and
confident demeanor. Despite the brilliance of the Thompson siblings, he remained distinguished and exuded exceptional charm.
Roza thought, 'Wow... Mr. Salvador is so handsome.'
Amelia thought, 'Wow... Brother-in-law is amazing.'
Amelia and Rachel sat together, resting their chins in their hands, gazing at Justin with admiration. Although both of them had
their hearts set on someone else, they still appreciated beauty. Who would not take a few more glances at such eye candy?
Meanwhile, Steven and Axel, who were sitting next to the ladies, were staring daggers at Justin. Despite their intense jealousy,
they could only keep their frustration to themselves.
How would they dare challenge Bella's man? They still wanted to live out their days in peace!
During the party, toasts were exchanged amidst continuous laughter and joy. For a moment, it seemed like the event was an
appreciation banquet for Bella and Justin.
With her outgoing personality, Roza had a knack for livening up the atmosphere. When Justin finished giving his toast, she
quickly hugged Bella and started singing karaoke on the microphone.
Axel frowned and kept stuffing meat into his mouth. His increasingly heated gaze never left Roza's beautiful and bubbly face.
Asher sat beside him, elegantly cutting his meat with a knife and fork, when he suddenly made an out-of-the-blue comment.
"This girl, Roza... I really like her. She has a great personality, speaks elegantly, and though she seems carefree, she actually
has high emotional intelligence and knows how to take care of others." Axel chewed forcefully, his long lashes quivering. "She's
just a brainless madwoman! What's so good about her?"
"Then why do you keep staring at her?" Asher chuckled softly. Asher knew his younger brother's character well and exposed
him.
Axel nearly choked on his food. His face was turning red. "Cough... Cough... That's because her singing is so terrible! It's ruining
my appetite!"
"That can ruin your appetite, Ax? I don't believe it."
Ralph took a bite of his meat skewer, glancing sideways at him, andè laughed. "Nothing can interrupt your meal remember you
used to eat while reading forensic reports at work. This is nothing." S
Axel's cheeks flushed red, so he drank water to ease his embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Asher had just carefully cut up the meat and vegetables on his plate. He had not taken a single bite, but when he
looked back, he found the meat missing.
His deep eyes glanced around to see Arnold, who was leisurely eating from his plate. Arnold narrowed his eyes, smiling with
smug delight.
Asher thought, 'Ha, so this little fox had stolen it.'
"You barely ate anything. Why don't you cut some more?" Arnold's low voice murmured in his ear, playfully begging.
"Are you a child? Do I need to cut it
up and put it on your plate piece by piece?" Asher withdrew his enigmatic gaze and continued
cutting the meat. "Or should feed you?"
"Sure, sure!" Arnold's eyes brightened, and he nodded enthusiastically.
"You really dare to dream." Asher scoffed lightly, his knife and fork moving steadily.
"Why would I not dare? Last time in
the car, you said something to me that I have not forgotten. You wouldn't go back on your word, would you, Mr. Thompson? You
said you would peel nuts for me, but
you
haven't done that yet. Now you begrudge me for just a few pieces of
meat?"
Arnold pouted in mock reproach. Meanwhile, under the table, his toes hooked onto the straight trousers of the man beside him,
inching upward provocatively.
