Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)
Chapter 314

Chapter 314, Courted by Many

Bella felt a bit embarrassed. "You don't have to go through all this trouble. I'm not picky about food, and it's so late. You really didn't need to make a special trip..."

Felix packed the groceries into the fridge and explained, "The steak won't last long, so eat it soon. The stuff in the cooler has a short shelf life, but I put the other things in the freezer. Don't forget to eat and drink a cup of milk every morning and evening." Standing nearby, she anxiously rubbed her hands together. "Thank you! How much did all this cost? I can transfer you the money."

Felix smiled at her over his shoulder. "Just take me out for a meal sometime. Don't talk about

And don't overthink it. I did say I'd pursue you again, but I wouldn't do that when you've just broken up. That would feel a bit opportunistic, right? No need to feel any pressure. We're friends now."

He had a knack for getting along with people, and Bella couldn't refuse. "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal on my days off."

Once he had put everything away, he was about to leave but kept reminding her not to forget to lock the door at night. He advised her to check the peephole before opening the door, as he had noticed she hadn't done that when she let him in. His concern was meticulous. After seeing Felix off, Bella returned to the dining table, picked up her fork, and was about to enjoy the sausages when the doorbell rang again.

Thinking Felix might have forgotten something, she was about to open the door when she

remembered his advice.

Peeking through the peephole, she saw it wasn't Felix but a colleague from the hospital, Ethan Shaw. He also worked in the emergency department and was a tall, thin guy with glasses and a handsome face. Chapter 314 Courted by Mary

They got along well at work, so she opened the door and asked, "What brings you here?"

Ethan seemed a bit awkward as he scratched the back of his head, his short hair slightly tousled. "Uh... I just found out today that we live in the same apartment building. I ended work late today. Do you want to grab supper? There's a place just outside the apartment. It's really

close."

Bella hesitated. "But I just heated some sausages...

He responded seriously, "Too much of that isn't good for you. We both worked hard today. You shouldn't eat something so light. Come on, I'll treat you to supper."

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it just the two of us?"

His face flushed inexplicably. "Uh... Is that too forward of me?"

It suddenly clicked for Bella. After breaking up with Dominic, was she really being courted by

so many

others? If so, Dominic was likely the one who was facing a loss.

She had no intention of developing anything with Ethan, so she cut it off right from the start. With a smile, she declined, "It's too late. You should eat on your own. I have work tomorrow, so goodnight." Though Ethan looked slightly disappointed, he didn't press further and simply said goodnight before leaving.

She closed the door, feeling both amused and exasperated. Perhaps she really should replace an ordinary person to date, get married, and live a simple life. However, that was not her plan; it was just a fleeting thought.. Finally, she successfully shoved the half-cold sausages into her mouth. Everything tasted good when one was hungry.

Before she could swallow, the doorbell rang again.

Frustrated, she glanced at the elegant clock on the wall. It was already 11:30 pm. Besides Felix and Ethan, who else would come by?

Slipping on her slippers, she walked to the door and peered through the peephole. Seeing Dominic's handsome face, she froze for a moment before coming to her senses and asking, What do you want?"
