Chapter 599
Justin knew that Ryan’s family matters were his sensitive spot. Though Justin cared, he rarely inquired about it.
Bella said, “Mrs. Hoffman is a very conservative person. Her husband passed away early, and Ryan is her only son. She placed
almost all her hopes on him. She can’t even stand Bethany, so how can she possibly favor Carrie?”
She continued, “Ryan is a devoted son and has always respected and loved his mother deeply. Do you think he will go against
his mother for Carrie? And what about that scheming Zoe? She has always treated Bethany as a puppet, pulling strings from
behind the scenes. She inherently looks down on Shannon’s daughters. Do you think she will treat Carrie well? If Carrie ends up
with Ryan in the future, there will be turmoil and endless struggles. It’ll only mean suffering and hardship for Carrie. Do you think
Carrie can be happy like this? Even if Ryan loves her, that love will be gradually exhausted by all the conflicts and schemes.
Moreover, Carrie is so innocent and naive... How can she possibly compete with them?”
As Bella spoke, her eyes teared up and reddened. Her exquisitely fair face made her look like a fairy, breathtakingly beautiful.
“Was she judging Carrie’s situation based on her experiences?’ Justin
thought.
Essentially, she was recounting the hardships and grievances she endured during their three years of marriage.
There was no freedom or relief, just bitter tears and broken hearts.
Bella had nothing more to say to this man. She had said what n
to be said.
If he insisted on having his own way, she would have to use her o iron fist to solve the problem and protect the people that
mattered to
her.
Watching Bella decisively turn to leave, Justin was unable to restrain his intense emotions any longer.
He embraced her cool and delicate body tightly from behind.
“You...” Bella instantly forgot to breathe. Her heart was pounding hard.
“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t think it through. If you don’t like it, I won’t bring it up again. I’ll never bring it up again.” Justin
wrapped his left arm around her soft waist, and his right hand held her slender shoulders. His arm encircled her collarbone.
All the strength in his body seemed to gather in those arms as he hugged her tightly.
He wished that he could merge her into his body.
Bella’s body was tense. Justin’s sultry voice flowed into her ears,
captivating her.
“Justin, let go...” She was rejecting him, but her voice was gentle, making her rejection seem contradictory
“I won’t.” Justin’s sharp jaw rested against the hollow of her neck. rubbing against it. “Bella, I have never been a greedy person.
But when it comes to you I can never seem to get enough it’s never enough, even when I hug or kiss you.”
He was a man of few words and was not good at expressing himself,
so even his sweet talk was succinct. Yet, they caused ripples in
Bella’s heart.
This striking couple were like magnets, irresistibly drawn to each other under the streetlight.
“Bella.”
Suddenly, a gentle yet icy voice rang out from behind them.
