Ch. 601: -610
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 601-Christopher was insatiable by nature, rarely feeling gratified by anything in the world.
Making Justin pay was one of the unlikely things that pleased him.
“Mr. Iverson, what brings you here?” Snapping out of her thoughts, Bella asked curiously.
“I’ve moved here. I’m living in the villa behind yours.” Christopher stared at her affectionately.
“What?” Bella was shocked.
Justin’s heart dropped as he had a bad feeling.
“We’re neighbors now, Bella.” While talking, Christopher tilted his head and smiled in a youthful and gentle manner. He extended his right hand to her. “Hello, neighbor. I hope we can get along.” Though baffled, Bella remained unruffled and politely shook Christopher’s hand.
Christopher managed to mercilessly and cleanly cut off Justin, the ex- husband who once was most intimate with Bella.
“Bella, do you want to visit my new home?” Like Bella, Christopher was an opportunist. He extended an invitation to her. “I bought a lot of groceries, including some fresh salmon and crayfish. They’re all your favorites. I’ll cook for you.” His words were filled with love.
Christopher was considerate, attentive, and a gentleman. He was the boyfriend of every woman’s dreams.
“I’ll need to take a rain check. We live in the same neighborhood, so we’ll run into each other more frequently. We have plenty of time in the future. Thank you for the offer, though, Mr. Iverson.” Bella was flustered and not in the right mind for a housewarming session.
“My mother will be at my place tonight.” Christopher’s eyes fixated on Bella as he invited her earnestly once.
more. “I told her that I’d invite you over to the house for dinner. She was excited and said that it had been years since she last saw you. She wanted to meet Chairman Thompson’s favorite daughter.” Bella was taken aback. “Is Mrs. Iverson back from Sentania?” “Yeah. I brought my mother back.” Christopher grinned with relief.
“That’s great.” Justin was alarmed.
However, he could not add a word to their conversation. All he could do was stand there and do nothing.
Justin, who sat on top of the business world, had such moments of desperation too.
He had become a fool for his little lady.
“You know my mother, Bella. She rarely has moments when she’s conscious and herself.” The sadness in Christopher’s eyes tugged on Bella’s heartstrings. “I hope you can meet her when she’s of sound mind. It makes the encounter meaningful. Can I be abrupt and ask you for this small favor?” The Iversons and the Thompsons went way back. Plus, Bella did not really have anything planned tonight anyway. She did not have a reason to refuse.
“Alright then. Sorry to trouble you for dinner, Mr. Iverson.” Fueled with rage, Justin clenched his fists.
“Not at all. I want to thank you for accepting my invitation, Bella.” With joy apparent on his face, Christopher gestured for Bella to come along with him.
They then walked right past Justin.
However, Justin was not one to give up or back down so easily, especially when it came to competing with Christopher. He did not want to let the love of his life walk away with another man.
What should he do?
He contemplated his options.
His inner voice was telling him to leave his ego out the door and stop Bella from leaving.
Nothing was more important than his wife. He had to keep her.
“Bella!” As his heart pounded out of his chest, Justin took strides to keep up with the pair.
Before Justin could get close to Bella, Christopher sensed Justin. He turned around and aggressively pulled a punch, aiming straight for Justin’s face.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 602-Swoosh!
A violent breeze brushed past the tip of Justin’s nose. There was sure power, ruthlessness, and speed in the punch.
If Justin was not a skilled fighter, he would not have been able to dodge the unsuspecting attack.
Justin was able to gather a lot of information from the missed.
assault.
Underneath Christopher’s polished appearance was a vicious beast.
Justin could not possibly let Bella go with him.
No way!
Everything happened too fast. Bella walked ahead, oblivious to the men fighting over her in the back.
Christopher pulled another punch, and Justin ducked in tim retaliated with a high kick. However, the counterattack mer past Christopher’s chest.
Christopher backed away to regain his balance. His seemingly arms under his silver cuffs tensed as he clenched his fists. His ve bulged.
Justin, who was ambushed, stood there, rooted to the ground.
Christopher pushed his glasses up his nose, hiding the bloodthirst behind the lens.
For over a decade, Christopher had been learning to fight from the best fighters in Sentania, perfecting his skills to become stronger so that he could protect his mother and recruit elites.
Christopher dabbled in close combat, shooting, and knives. He was gifted in that respect. Although he was not blessed with the best of health, he was able to make up for his deficiencies by putting in the hard work.
Hence, Christopher was confident he could take Justin on.
Nevertheless, after the brief clash with Justin, Christopher realized he had underestimated his opponent.
Justin was stronger than most men.
Even if Christopher were to give everything he had, he might not be able to defeat Justin.
Christopher furrowed his brows grimacingly.
Suddenly, he curled his lips slyly, sending shivers down Justin’s spine. Something did not sit right with Justin.
Christopher’s eyes, always tender in Bella’s presence, were savage and rampant, challenging Justin’s patience.
Upon narrowing his eyes, Christopher threw himself forward.
Letting his muscle memory and the urge to beat up the man take control, Justin reacted with a right hook to Christopher’s left cheek.
Bella happened to turn around and witness this scene.
Justin was shocked to catch Christopher, bleeding in the mouth, smiling wickedly instead of getting angry.
Shit!
He fell right into Christopher’s trap!
Christopher was not trying to hit him. He was trying to lure him to draw blood.
Justin cursed himself for being a fool to fall for it.
“Chris!” Bella widened her eyes and ran to help Christopher.
She blurted out his nickname in a panic.
Christopher’s eyes bulge in surprise. Disregarding the burning pain on his cheek, he clutched Bella’s wrist and asked in a trembling voice, Bella… What did you call me?” It then hit Bella.
She took a bit of time to process what she just said. It was just a form of address, and she used to call him that name when they were kids.
Hence, she cried, “Chris.” Christopher’s eyes welled up in excitement, his facial muscles twitching.
Only God knew how long he had been waiting for her to use the term of endearment.
It had been too long-15 years too long.
Could Justin understand 15 years of yearning and lovesickness? No, the heartless man could never understand this.
Justin froze as the color drained from his face.
He could hear something breaking as his body slowly gave out.
Bella had once again broken his heart to pieces.
It appeared Bella and Christopher were close, and it all started when they were kids.
Justin questioned what he meant to Bella.
“Have you gone mad, Justin? Mr. Iverson was just inviting me to meet his mother at his place. What did he ever do to you? Why must you injure him?” Bella helped Christopher up and snapped an angry look at Justin.
There were a lot of emotions in her gaze.
She was angry, helpless, and, more so, disappointed.
For the past 13 years, Justin had been an unattainable presence for her.
Now, she could feel the untouchable shine of him fading as he drifted further from the man she remembered him to be.
“I’m fine, Bella. Don’t be mad.” The murderous intent in Christopher’s eyes was no longer present. He looked tenderly at her and said nicely, “I can understand why Mr.
Salvador attacked me.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 603-Christopher continued, “Everything he does is for you.” “For me? Including hurting someone?” Unable to put up with Justin’s behavior, Bella scoffed. “He’s just covering up his misdeed in the name of justice. Don’t say that it’s for me. I won’t stand for this.” “Bella!” Justin felt suffocated, and his misery showed in his voice. “I don’t want to explain or justify my behavior. I just have one thing to ask you. What am I to you?” As her breath hitched, Bella felt her heart drop.
Despite the dimly lit surroundings, she could see the shattered and anguished look on Justin’s face.
Christopher stared intently at Justin’s pale face like a hawk on its prey.
“If you stop pestering me and being a nuisance in my life, we might have a chance of becoming business partners. But if you persist in your ways, our only possible relationship is that of enemies.” Without taking another look at Justin, Bella held onto Christopher and left.
Justin stood there in a daze, as if the whole world had left him behind.
Before he knew it, the chilly breeze pierced through him, drying the tears in his eyes before they could pool again.
He would never love another the way he loved her.
Even the strongest love could fade with time.
Christopher’s villa was the second largest in the upscale area.
The biggest belonged to Bella.
Since the Iversons owned the neighborhood, Christopher could just pick any villa he wanted.
As they entered the compound, Bella felt bad that Christopher was badly bruised in the face. She asked cautiously, “Does it hurt?” Christopher curled his lips, grinning brightly and warmly. However, the smile was stiff because of the bruise. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt that bad.” “The bastard didn’t hold back.” Furious, Bella wanted to punish Justin.
“Mr. Salvador was in the army, and he went to military school. It doesn’t surprise me that he was heavy with the beating.” Bella scowled. “How did you know that he was in the army? Did you run a background check on him?” Unflustered, Christopher said with a faint smile, “Mr. Salvador and I are rivals, whether in business or love. If I want to win, I should know my enemy well.” Reading between the lines, Bella pursed her luscious lips.
It was a shame that she did not see Christopher the same way.
In fact, she played dumb to his feelings for her.
“Please cover for me later when my mother asks about this, Bella.” Christopher looked over and nervously gave her the heads-up.
“How should I cover for you? It’s not like you can fall and hit one side.
of your face.” Bella furrowed her brows, finding the excuse hard to believe.
Christopher let out a wry smile, but the joy in his eyes was clear. His affection was reserved only for her.
“I got an idea!” Struck by a thought, Bella pulled out a compact powder from her purse and handed it to him. “Cover up your bruise with this.” “What’s this?” “Do you know how to use it?” Christopher looked at her with clear eyes and shook his head.
“I’ll help you.” Bella opened the compact and dabbed the powder puff on the pressed powder before drawing close to Christopher’s face. She proceeded to dab the puff on his swollen cheek.
“Hiss…” The man grimaced in pain.
“Does it hurt?” Bella asked.
Christopher narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Bella. He was just inches away from her baby-smooth and beautiful face.
He could not love her more than he already had.
Their breaths mingled as the tips of their noses nearly touched.
Bella could even smell his minty breath mixed with his violet cologne, which made her feel lightheaded.
“It hurt a little just now, but it doesn’t hurt anymore.” Christopher looked deep into her eyes with a grin.
Bella stepped back a little, nearly dropping her compact powder.
Although she cried out his nickname in a moment of panic, that did not mean that they had become closer.
“Come on, Bella. Any later, and I might not get dinner ready in time.” Christopher stopped teasing her. He had to take things slow, as slow and steady would win him the race.
The pair walked through the gates of the villa and disappeared out of sight.
On the other side of the metal gates, Justin stood alone on the opposite road. His bloodshot eyes were drawn to the villa’s distant glow.

The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 604-Everything in Christopher’s home looked new. It was clear that he had moved in not too long ago.
The villa’s interior was decorated in minimalistic colors of black, white, and gray. Bella could tell right away that the furniture and appliances were top-of-the-line brands that exuded a subtle luxury.
Bella shuddered a little when she walked into the house.
The reason was not because of the heating. The empty space, paired with the monotonous colors, gave off a sense of oppression and chill.
“Do you feel cold, Bella?” Christopher took out a pair of white slippers from the shoe cabinet and got down on one knee to place them by Bella’s feet. “Put them on. I’ll turn up the heating.” As her lashes fluttered, Bella slipped her dainty feet into slippers.
The fluffy slippers were comfortable.
They were new, and the size seemed to fit her just right, as if they were made for her.
m “You’re back, Mr. Iverson.” Zelda, a housekeeper to Christopher and his mother, Sophie, approached to welcome them.
“Bella, this is Zelda.” Christopher introduced them with a smile, “Zelda, this is-” “I know! She’s Ms. Thompson, the one you always talk about! Hello there, Ms. Thompson.” Zelda checked Bella out with enthusiasm. “You’re so beautiful, Ms. Thompson. Oh, my goodness. You’re prettier than the winner of Miss Sentania.” Bella blushed and smiled with embarrassment. “Thank you for the compliment, Zelda.” “Come in. Come in! It must be cold outside. Mr. Iverson, your mother has been waiting for you.” Zelda led them to the living room, turning back to check on them from time to time. With each glance, she found them a perfect match for each other.
Bella felt anxious.
She could barely remember what Sophie looked like.
Bella often visited the Iversons’ residence in her younger days, and Lance was usually the one to greet her. Sophie rarely made an appearance. She had encountered Sophie maybe once or twice, but she remembered the woman to be kind and gentle.
“Mom!” Hearing Christopher’s greeting, the middle-aged woman in a wheelchair with a beige blanket over her lap slowly turned around.
Feeling a catch in her throat, Bella felt upset.
Sophie was around Mila’s age, but she was silver-haired and a shadow of her former beauty.
“Son, you’re back.” Sophie smiled. Although she aged significantly, her smile was beautiful as always. It was clear that she was a stunner back in the day.
Christopher went up and gave her a hug. “Mom, Ms. Thompson is here to see you.” “Ah… Bella? Is it Bella?” Sophie was perky, like a child, her eyes reflecting her tenderness for Bella. “Zelda! Zelda!” “I’m here, Mrs. Iverson,” Zelda responded.
“Hurry up and get Bella some juice and candy.” “Alright.” Zelda grabbed a handful of candy from the coffee table and presented it to Bella. “Here you go, Ms. Thompson.” Though surprised, Bella took the candy.
It never occurred to her that Sophie had such a different approach to hosting guests.
“Chris, you must bring your friends to the house. Don’t worry about disrupting my rest. I don’t want you to be alone and have no one to play with.” Sophie looked worriedly at her son.
Bella looked at Christopher in shock, “Don’t worry, Mom. I don’t feel lonely with Bella by my side.” As sadness fleeted across his eyes, Christopher patted Sophie’s back. “Even if all the kids won’t play with me, Bella won’t ignore me.” “Alright. Bella, you must visit us often.” Sophie looked at Bella as if she were still the little girl from 15 years ago.
“Thank you, Mrs. Iverson.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 605-Swayed by emotions, Bella approached Sophie and got down on one knee. She looked up with a bright smile and said, “Chris has a friend in me, so don’t worry.” Christopher took off his jacket, his slender build drawn out by his white shirt and gray vest. He went to the kitchen, looking rather chic.
Although Bella was a guest, she felt bad letting him cook for her.
Thus, she followed him to the kitchen.
“I’ll help you. You don’t have a chef. It will take you forever to cook dinner.” Bella looked at the table of ingredients and rolled up her sleeves to get to work.
“It’s okay. I have everything ready. It should be quick and easy to make dinner.” While talking, Christopher looked at her with concern and murmure Bella, I remember that you’re allergic to smoke. It can get greasy an smoky in the kitchen. You should head to the living room and with my mother.” Bella paused, her eyes twinkling in surprise. “H-How did you know I’m allergic to smoke?” “Don’t you remember? Your dad would take you to my home when you were a kid, and my brother would demand a cookout, ordering the household help to start the grill in the backyard. When it started to get smoky, your dad carried you away nervously, saying that you were allergic to smoke. I still remember your dad getting worked up and yelling at my dad.” Christopher chuckled. “You’re the apple of your dad’s eye.” Bella stared at him in a daze and felt a lump in her throat.
Despite her best efforts, she could not stop her eyes from tearing up.
During the three years she had been with Justin and cooked for him, the man had no idea that she had an allergic reaction to smoke.
However, Christopher did not forget the trivial matter that happened over a decade ago.
“It’s okay. I’ll help you.” Bella stood alongside Christopher in front of the sink, preparing the fresh ingredients skillfully.
Christopher swallowed hard and quietly stepped closer to her.
“Thank you, Bella.” “I should thank you for treating me to dinner.” “That’s not what I mean.” Christopher’s voice was raspy as he smiled wryly. “You’ve seen my mother. Her memory is regressing badly. Sometimes, she doesn’t even recognize me. There are times that she thinks I’m still 7 years old.” “I understand. It’s one of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.” Bella sighed.
“I’m grateful that you are willing to make her happy with me.” Their eyes met, and their foreheads bumped into each other.
They chuckled, taken aback.
It was a happy and tender moment at the villa.
Beyond the walls of the residence, it was cold and windy.
Justin stood rooted to the ground outside the villa, staring intently at the warm light.
He had no idea how long he had been there or how much longer he would stand there.
There was only one thing on his mind.
He was waiting for Bella. He was waiting for her to come out and see him.
She had to leave one way or another, right?
Suddenly, Justin felt something cold on his face. The biting co spread throughout his body.
He lifted his chin as the tiny snowflakes fell on his pale face and melted into his bloodshot eyes.
It was snowing.
Savrow welcomed its first snow in the winter.
The first snow was a blank canvas. It signified a fresh full of potential and the promise of something special.
He thought to himself, ‘Bella, I want to experience the first snow with you.’ Justin breathed out a puff of cold air and pulled out his phone shakily to dial Bella’s number.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 606-Dinner was pleasant and full of laughter.
Christopher had planned to bring out a bottle of well-aged red wine, but Sophie kept serving Bella juices. Bella had drank orange juice, grape juice, pineapple juice, and other varieties of squashed fruits.
After dinner, Zelda took Sophie elsewhere for other activities to give Christopher and his beloved a moment alone.
Christopher gave Bella a tour of his villa, showing her his art collection of paintings and artwork.
These babies could fetch an astronomical price at an auction.
S Standing before a desk, Bella leaned forward with a magnifying glass. toto appreciate a painting. Her bright eyes reflected her joy.
“D’Do you like it? If you do, I’ll wrap it up for you to take home CChristopher propped his arm against the bed, staring at wwith a tilted head.
SIShe admired the painting, while he admired her.
“Wrap it up for me? You know better than anyone that anythin cosists at least seven figures. These are authentic works. I can’t believe you’re offering the painting to me for free.” fully Belials totood up straight and cheekily looked at Christopher through the magnifyiving glass. She blinked. “Are you an antique collector? Or are you juststabllecting for fun? If you’re a real collector, you should act like Wyatart leler freaks out when anyone tries to touch his collection. I can’t imagine him giving his stuff away.” Christopher smiled and spoke in a soft and alluring tone. “I’m only generous to two people. That’s you and Chairman Thompson.” Bella’s heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips.
Christopher and Justin were two extremes. The former was a sweet talker, while the latter would not have anything nice to say even with a gun to his head.
“Wyatt is a greedy man. If he knows you own such treasures, he’ll certainly take your generosity for granted.” “Chairman Thompson is welcome to take anything he likes. I don’t have much to offer, but if there’s anything that catches his eye, I won’t be stingy with him.” Christopher’s tone could not be more sincere.
“What about you? Do you have anything you want apart from getting a slice of your family assets?” Bella asked subtly.
With tender eyes, Christopher answered in his mind, ‘I want y It”it’s snowing, Bella,” he said something else out loud instead.
R”Really?” BeBella bearned with excitement.
ShShe loved the snow. When she was a little girl, her mother would hold heher as they admired the snow in the backyard. Her mother would take heher hand and guide her to draw on the snowy surface.
“COCommon. Let’s check out the snow.
Christopher led Bella to the balcony and opened the door. Bella was mesmerized by the blanket of snow.
The fluttering snow fell like feathers.
“It’s so beautiful!” Bella looked up at the night sky and expressed her thrill.
Standing behind her, Christopher took off his jacket and draped it over The her shoulders. He wrapped her up tightly and murmured sweetly, snow is beautiful, but I don’t want you to catch a cold.” The lingering warmth from the man’s jacket cast away the chill that Bella felt.
She turned over to meet his burning gaze.
Bella murmured, “You…” The man’s heart raced, and his breathing turned heavy.
“Your glasses are foggy. Can you even see the snow?” Bella asked in a serious tone.
Christopher was taken aback, but he smiled faintly, not hiding the affection in his eyes.
‘Bella, do you know? There’s a saying in Sentania that couples who experience the first snow together will eventually marry each other.'” Christopher thought to himself.
Not minding her frozen, stiff cheeks, Bella reached out to capture the snowflakes. Her face was alight with joy.
Christopher, stirring with feelings, was tempted to grab her hand and never let her go.
A disruptive phone call shattered this joyful moment. Bella glanced at her phone screen and frowned.
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 607-JuJustin’s name haunted Bella.
Seseeing that it was his love rival calling, Christopher hid the chilling gligitm behind his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “Bella.” Desespite her stirring emotions, Bella decided to take the call. “Hello?” Disappointment was written all over Christopher’s eyes.
He hanated Justin’s guts.

Justin froze in the snowstorm fotos tolong time.
Suddenly, he lunged forward and covered his mouth.
Ugh!” His eyes bulged, and he felt wetness on his palm.
Blood dripped to the ground, tainting the snow.
When Christopher returned to the villa, he was not in a hurry to check on Bella, who was unconscious.
He tiptoed upstairs and entered his study to check the surveillance outside the villa’s perimeters on his computer.
Sinking his back into his leather chair, Christopher wanted to admire Justin’s defeat, but to his surprise, he found something else to his delight.
The strong and handsome man kneeled on one leg in the snow, breathing laboriously with a bloodied mouth.
Did Justin cough out blood?
“Hahahaha! Justin, what a wonderful surprise.” Christopher took out his phone to call his secretary, his eyes never leaving the screen.
“What can I do for you, Mr. Iverson?” “Investigate Justin’s recent health records. Is he ill or injured? Which hospital was he at? I want to know everything.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 609-Beliala’s dread was still fuzzy the next morning. She was a little.

She alabniptly opened her eyes and jolted up from bed.

“This is a man’s room. Christopher?” Belia had a acicciole teadache, as if someone had just hit her head with a club.b.
The last thing she remembered from last night was arguing with Justin, and evergruining sise after was a blur.

Christopher never wore the same garntiment twice anyway.
“Mr. Iverson.” Christopher looked up tenderly at the sound of Bella’s voice. “You’re awake, Bella. How do you feel?” “Mr. Iverson, last night-” “Didn’t we agree on it, Bella? Just call me Chris.” Christopher pouted a little. Still, he did not stop the task at hand, like a dutiful wife. “You weren’t feeling well last night, and you passed out. I guess you could be low on blood sugar or overwhelmed. Don’t worry.
You slept in my room, but I didn’t touch you.” “I know…” Bella rested her head in her palm exhaustedly. She was not naïve.
She had no idea whether she was hypoglycemic, but she was not in a good mood last night. The past trauma still haunted her, and it still hurt.
It never crossed her mind that she would react strongly and be knocked unconscious by the pain.
That bastard, Justin, was the bane of her.
“Breakfast is ready, Bella. Come and eat,” Christopher urged her gently as he put the plates down.
It was as if they were newlyweds, and Christopher, the husband, made breakfast for his wife since she slept in.
“I don’t feel like eating. Thank you, though.” Bella believed it was inappropriate enough that she stayed the night at the home of a guy she barely knew. She could not possibly stay for breakfast too.
That was suggestive, and she was not that type of woman.
“Thank you for having me. I should go now.” While talking, Bella pressed her lips together awkwardly and walked toward the door.
Feeling crushed, Christopher caught up to her. “Bella, did I do something wrong?” “No. I’m just not used to spending the night and having breakfast at a man’s place, especially one I’m not close with. It’s just not me,” Bella expressed indifferently with a distant smile.
Feeling hurt, Christopher clutched his fingers.
Justin could get close to her and hold her, but Christopher could not make her stay for breakfast.
If he had not shown up on time last night, Christopher wondered what Justin and Bella would have done. They could have kissed, and Justin.
could have stayed the night at her place.
Bella’s phone rang. Asher was calling.
“Hey, Ash.”
The Divorced Heiress Revenge Chapter 610-“Bella… Axel, Ralph, Steve, and I are outside Christopher’s villa.” Asher’s voice rolled like thunder.
He kept things short.
However, assurance and intimidation were present in his tone of voice.
“I’m fine, Ash. You’re all being dramatic.” Bella rubbed her temples, already imagining the commotion going on out there.
“Dramatic? Bella, you spent the night at another man’s home. You were out all night! We nearly wept in panic,” Axel cried out loud.
“Did that Iverson boy touch you, Bella? Were you there of your own free will, or did he set you up? I’ve got the cuffs ready for him.” Ralph was a police officer through and through. One word from Bella, and he would rush in to arrest Christopher.
“Calm down! Chill the heck out!” Bella put on her heels in a panic and walked out the door.
Outside, fancy cars surrounded Christopher’s villa.
“Ms. Bella!” Teary-eyed, Steven went up and held her shoulders. “Are you alright D Did Christopher lay a finger on you?” “No one would lay a finger on me unless they wanted the Thompsons oron their tail.” Bella found them overstraining themselves with anxiety.
“Bella!” Her three brothers gathered around. They were relieved that Bella looked fine and her clothes were intact.
“Good morning, Asher, Axel.” Christopher approached with a smile and turned to Ralph. “Ah, you’re here too, Ralph. I guess it’s not busy at the station this morning.” Ralph gritted his teeth, tempted to just cuff the gu guy.
Axel was not having it. “We’re not on a first-name basis. That’s Mr.
Axel Thompson to you!” “That’s true. I have not been back for a long time. We have grown apart, I suppose.” Christopher did not mind them. Instead, he took a lingering look at Bella. “I don’t care what you think of me, but my feelings for Bella have never changed.” This was the second time Christopher hid their princess.
Although Christopher did nothing, his behavior constantly tested the Thompson brothers’ patience.
“Come on, guys. We should head home.” Sensing the tension in the air, Bella tugged on Asher’s and Axel’s sleeves while giving them a look.
“Take Bella home.” With furrowed brows, Asher grabbed Bella’s hand and gave her a little squeeze. “Mr. Iverson, a word, please.” Christopher kept a friendly smile. “Sure.” Seeing that there was no talking sense into Asher, Bella was escorted into the car by her brothers and Steven.
As the car drove away, Bella looked out the window, and her heart dropped.
The dried pool of blood on a blanket of snow by the road was alarming.
Tension was thick in the living room.
Asher sat sternly on the sofa with his legs crossed.
His gaze on Christopher was not as kind as before.
“Here, have some tea.” Christopher served him a drink.
“I don’t need it. I’ll make this quick.”
