Ralph's casual words immediately raised the tension between him and Ryan.

Ryan's eyes widened, and the nerves in his body tensed.

Territorial and protective? Was Ralph referring to Carrie? Why did Ralph suddenly refer to him with that?! Ryan had only left for a short time, yet there had already been a thief in his home, trying to steal from him?! "Ralph? You haven't left yet?"

Just as the two men were stuck in a deadlock, Bella and Justin walked over after hearing the commotion.

Bella sharply noticed that the two men seemed to be confronting each other, and her gaze turned suspicious.

"Oh, I'm not quite sure how to open this door. Luckily, Mr. Hoffman was back and opened it for me. I will leave now."

Ralph turned back and smiled brightly at Bella, as if nothing had happened. "Bella, after I'm done with work, let me bring you out for a trip. You shouldn't just spend your time with one guy. It'll be boring!" Justin was speechless.

Although he knew it was a joke and that Ralph was Bella's brother, Justin still could not help but feel jealous.

After Ralph left, Ryan still had not calmed his emotions. Warning bells were ringing in his mind.

He felt that Ralph had met Carrie while he was not home, and they had interacted for a while.

"Ryan, what's wrong? You don't look good," Justin asked worriedly.

"Nothing." Ryan took a deep breath.

"Sorry. I asked Ralph to send some information to me without informing you in advance."

Bella was sharp and perceptive, immediately sensing what Ryan was bothered about, and she apologized to him. "You are like brothers with Justin, but this is still your home with Carrie. I am merely crashing here. It was improper for me to let an outsider in. I won't let it happen again."

Justin was shocked. He held her thin waist, hurriedly explaining to Ryan, "Bella, don't overthink it. Ryan is not so petty."

Ryan's eyes widened, and he quickly waved his hand. "Bella! I don't deserve such words from you! I'm happy that you're staying here. Justin is happy, and Carrie is even happier! Since you came, her mood has lightened, and she's become more talkative. I'd even love for you two to stay until Christmas! I have no complaints!"

Bella leaned against Justin's chest, and they shared a tacit look. "I'm indeed embarrassed to disturb you for so long. Although I'm reluctant to part with Carrie, it's inconvenient for you lovebirds to be intimate with us living here."

Her words made Ryan embarrassed.

He was once a seasoned player on the field of love, but because of Carrie, his personality had completely changed, and he regarded love and sex as sacred. So, listening to Bella's words now, he felt pretty shy, blushing like a teenager who had first experienced love.

"Besides, my father was here tonight."

"Chairman Thompson came?!" Ryan jumped in shock.

Damn it! What else did he miss while he was away?!

"Although he brought some men, he did not forcefully take me away and even stayed for the dinner Justin prepared."

"What?! Justin cooked?!"

Ryan's jaw nearly dropped from the shock, but he still did not forget to tease Justin. "Chairman Thompson has guts, daring to put anything in his mouth. What if he got food poisoning?"

Justin was speechless as he gritted his teeth. "Did you have dinner at the garbage dump? What a foul mouth."

"My father's attitude toward Justin isn't great, but at least he's not as hostile. He now knows that we're living together, so there's nothing to hide. We'll pack up and return to live in my villa." Bella's eyes curved sweetly, eagerly wanting to enjoy her time alone with Justin.

"How about tonight?" Justin understood her, softly whispering in her ears.

"Aren't you tired after cooking all night? I'm exhausted. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Bella yawned.

Justin's hands touched her waist restlessly. "Then tonight, I'll do the moving. You stay put."

Although he was whispering, Ryan could hear him clearly.

Fuck... When did this man become such a flirt?!
