Chapter 288
། འཇ༦
At the Salvador Hotel, Rosalind was enjoying her glorious moment under the spotlights. Meanwhile, Bella drove alone in her
Bugatti. She cruised along the mountain road, encircling Crescent Bay while enjoying the gentle breeze.
Inside the car, the cheerful tune played, and she sang along while driving, an air of happiness surrounding her.
At this moment, Axel’s call came in.
Bella answered the call in a sweet and tender voice, “Hello, Ax!”
“Oh my, how sweet. I’m tempted to record this and send it to Drew just to make him jealous!” Axel laughed. His voice was
cheerful and lively.
“Since you
called me, does this mean
Circling back to the serious matter, Bella asked, “Since everything has been sorted?”
Axel answered, “Yes, everything is all prepared, Asher’s side included, “Axel said proudly.” Your brothers are very capable, so
just rest assured.”
“I’m on my way to visit Grandpa Nigel now.” Bella continued, “I heard that everyone in the Salvador family was coerced by
Shannon to attend Rosalind’s birthday banquet. Only Grandpa Nigel chose not to go.”
Bella sat in silence, lost in her own thoughts. ‘Grandpa Nigel enjoys lively moments. He keeps it to himself, not wanting to trouble
anyone, but he is really afraid of loneliness. Grandpa Nigel has always cared for me deeply. I should be there by his side now.’
When thinking about Nigel, Bella’s eyes held a soft, warm light. She could not help but feel sad
for him.
Back when she was still Justin’s wife, she would keep Nigel company whenever she could. They would have the most wonderful
conversation. They even wrote poetry and appraised antiques together. She would even serenade him with his favorite opera

songs and take long walks by the beach. Their time together was always filled with warmth.
On the last Valentine’s Day, there was a heavy snowfall in Savrow. Despite the harsh weather, Bella decided to visit Nigel at his
place with handmade snacks. She still clearly remembers the day when Nigel saw her with her red face and nose due to the cold
and was surprised to see her
there.
Nigel exclaimed, “Bella, it’s Valentine’s Day! Why aren’t you spending it with Justin? What brings you to this old man’s place?” At
that moment, Bella was still deeply in love with Justin and quickly made up an excuse for her visit to Nigel’s house.
Bella replied, “Justin is the president of Salvador Group. He’s always busy with work. Even on Valentine’s Day, presidents don’t
get a day off. Besides, Justin has prepared a gift for me. It’s the thought that counts.”
Nigel sighed and said, “Young lady, you’re too kind and patient. If you want to get through to Justin, you need to be tougher. He’s
a stubborn mule, just like I used to be when I was young. Your grandmother either gave me an earful or pinched my thigh. That’s
how she managed to tame me into a good husband.”.
She merely chuckled in response.
The two admired the falling snow for a while, and Nigel suddenly said, “Bella, are you afraid of the cold?” Without waiting for her
to answer, he continued, “Don’t be afraid! Let’s go visit Grandma.”
Nigel’s eyes showed the deep affection that Bella could only ask for in her life. “I’m going to sweep away the snow for your
grandma. She’s afraid of the cold.”
Soon, Bella arrived at Nigel’s house and called out, “Grandpa! I’m here!”
Just like in the past, Bella’s clear and melodious voice echoed throughout every corner of the living room as soon as she
entered.
“Annie!” An equally sweet and pleasant voice called out. Carrie walked out while pushing Nigel in a wheelchair.
Bella was surprised. “Carrie?! You’re here too!”
Bella was delighted to see Justin’s younger sister, Carrie, here. She ran over and gave Carrie a tight embrace.

Responding to Bella’s hug, Carrie used her hands to feel around her thin back and asked, ” Bella, you’re so thin now! You
weren’t this thin before. Haven’t you been eating well lately?”
She replied with a smile, “I’ve been eating well.”
Bella had indeed lost some weight recently. Due to her busy schedule at work, she has been skipping meals.
Nigel called out, “My dear, come over and let Grandpa have a look at you!”
Nigel was so delighted to see Bella that he continued to call her affectionately, just like before. Bella did not mind because she
had no lingering attachment to Justin. As long as Nigel was happy, it did not matter to her.
Bella kneeled next to the wheelchair. “Grandpa, your complexion looks a bit off. Haven’t you been resting well lately?” She asked
with concern as she looked at Nigel.
