Chapter 661
“Carrie? What brings you here?”
Bella pinched Carrie’s soft cheek with glee.
Carrie pursed her lips shyly and clung to her teddy. “I missed you and
Justin, so I came over.”
Justin curled his lips.
He enjoyed being associated with Bella.
Bella did not feel comfortable that Carrie saw her and Justin as a pair. Nevertheless, it tugged on Bella’s heart to see Carrie
holding. onto the teddy she gave her. Bella caressed Carrie’s head lovingly.
“I missed you too, Carrie.”
She then turned callously to Ryan and asked, “Did you bring Carrie here from Shannon’s birthday party?”
“Yeah, I did,” Ryan admitted with a smile.
“Yet, you have the audacity to be proud of yourself.”
Filled with rage, Bella got up in his face and poked his shoulder. “You only care about being together with Carrie and your own
happiness. Have you ever considered Carrie’s feelings? You took Carrie away without thinking about the consequences. What
happens when Carrie goes home? Gregory and Shannon will come down hard on her.”
“Home? Why should Carrie go back to a home where her mother and sister don’t treat her like family?”
Ryan raised his brow, his gaze burning. “Carrie has been living with
me.”
Bella’s eyes bulged in shock. “What did you say?”
“I registered my property on the hilltop under Carrie’s name. That’s
her home now. When she doesn’t feel happy or safe with Shannon
and Bethany at the Salvadors’ residence, she can just live at the
hilltop villa.” Ryan cocked his head and looked tenderly at Carrie.
Bella pinched her nose bridge in fury.
“When did this happen?”
Unable to sit back and do nothing, Justin strolled to his buddy’s side
with furious eyes. “How dare you live with my sister, Ryan? The nerve
of you.”
“We have done nothing but live together!” Feeling misunderstood, Ryan was eager to explain himself.
Many women threw themselves at Ryan, getting naked and slipping
under his covers.
Ryan had kicked all of them out of his bed.
However, his intimacy with Carrie was only limited to hugs and
kisses. He had never unbuttoned her clothes or violated her.
Ryan considered himself stained.
Carrie, on the other hand, was the definition of purity. He was reluctant to touch her, knowing he did not deserve her.
Ryan was glad enough to just stay by her side.
“Do you even believe the words that are coming out of your mouth,
Ryan?”
Bella ground her teeth, her eyes welling up. “If you expect me to believe that you’ll stay away from women, that is when pigs fly.”
Ryan furrowed his brows, lost for words.
It felt to him as if Carrie was Justin and Bella’s daughter, while he was her boyfriend, whom they disapproved of.
“Justin, Bella!”
Carrie walked up and stood firmly in front of Ryan, her face flushed
with anxiety. “Don’t say that about Ryan. It was me. I wanted to be with Ryan.”
Justin and Bella were shocked.
Ryan teared up as his heart pounded out of his chest.
He spread his arms apart from behind and held Carrie, resting his chin on top of her head. With the girl clinging to her teddy, th
ked like a family of three.
“I’ll drop you off at Grandpa Nigel’s place after the party, okay, Carrie?” Bella looked into Carrie’s clear eyes and asked softly.
Carrie bit her lips and hung her head low.
Bella was taken aback and sighed. “Do you really want to be with
hirn?”
