Chapter 315
Bella gracefully tilted her head up, maintaining eye contact with Justin as she walked closer. At thatmoment, it felt like every drop of blood in his body seemed to converge at the tip of his heart. His throattightened, and the muscles in his body tensed even further. It was as if every part of him was urginghim to be with Bella, longing to reach out to her right then.
Zoe, noticing Justin’s reaction, furrowed her brows slightly. She held onto him tightly, as if guarding aprecious treasure. Her overwhelming sense of possessiveness was triggered. She could sense thatJustin not only knew this beautiful woman but also cared deeply for her!
Just when Justin thought Bella was approaching him, she unexpectedly turned like a gentle breeze,gliding past him.
“Christian!” Bella called out, leaving the bewildered Justin behind her.
“Oh! My sweetheart!” Christian, walking from the other end of the corridor, saw Bella as if encounteringa long-lost friend. She waved at Bella with immense excitement and greeted her with kisses on thecheek. It was evident how close the two of them were.
Everyone, including the three men and Zoe, was left speechless.
Having been Christian’s protege for three years, Zoe knew Christian as a solitary and somewhatarrogant person. Christian rarely shared compliments and often had a sour expression.
‘How did this woman effortlessly earn the rare sight of a smile from her mentor?’
“My dear, I never expected to see you in Savrow! OMG… If only I had known, I would have cleared myschedule to have dinner with you!” Christian joyfully embraced Bella.
“You still have rehearsals to prepare for. I wouldn’t want to disturb you.” Bella spoke fluent French, hertone soft and intimate as if it were her native language.
Bella used her identity as Sharon in her interactions with Christian, who had not only ordered morethan one custom dress from her but had also developed a close personal relationship with her. It couldbe said that Bella had a magical charm. Anyone who collaborated with her would eventually becomeher friend.
As Justin watched Bella chat happily with the internationally renowned pianist Christian, memories ofthe past flooded his mind. His shoulders shuddered slightly, and suddenly, everything he thought aboutthe world turned upside down.
He remembered the early days of his marriage, when Bella’s eyes used to light up with joy, much likeZoe’s. Bella would come across interesting things, chatting away like those young girls.
However, he often neglected her, not sparing her a single glance. Gradually, Bella became quieter,transforming into a silent presence at Tideview Manor, standing by his side.
In those three years, Bella had no social life, and the arts and scholarly pursuits gave way to themundane daily chores. Justin found her uninteresting, thinking she fell short in every aspect comparedto Rosalind. He believed marrying Bella was a regrettable mistake.
Little did he realize, he nearly destroyed Bella with his own hands.
His emotional abuse had turned Bella into a docile and submissive woman, someone who walked oneggshells and settled for compromises. The deep affection Bella once had for him. was like the Titaniccolliding with an iceberg. Even the flame-like fervor of their romance ultimately became a heartbreakingdisaster.
“Mr. Iverson, come over!” Bella’s eyes sparkled as she looked beyond Justin towards Christopher. Shewaved at him with a cheerful smile.
Christopher hastily adjusted his tie and the corners of his clothes and said, “I’m coming!”
A hint of nervousness appeared in his usually composed features as he strode toward Bella withdetermined steps.
Justin clenched his fingers tightly, bitterness piercing through his chest, while Ryan was seething withjealousy.
Just as Christopher and Justin brushed past each other, Christopher suddenly halted. He smirked andadjusted his glasses as he glanced sideways, directed at Justin, who exuded the triumphant mockeryof a victor.
Christopher’s contemptuous gaze was like a sharp blade, cutting into Justin’s heart and leaving it in ablurry mess. Justin watched helplessly as the man walked to Bella’s side and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her.
Justin witnessed everything unfold and yet felt powerless. ‘Is this all I can do? Can I only be a uselessbystander? Is there no way to stop their relationship from developing further?’
In the midst of this tension, Bella introduced Christopher to Christian, the renowned pianist.
Bella grinned. “Christian, this is my friend, Christopher. His mother is a big fan of yours, so he’s hopingto get a signed album from you as a memento for her.”
“Of course! I would be happy to!” Christian graciously complied, displaying an unexpected warmth.
Not only did Christian provide a signed album, but she also asked her manager to capture the moment.As the trio posed for a photo, a bitter taste filled Justin’s heart. The scene was a mix of complexemotions, rivalry, and an underlying sense of powerlessness for Justin.
