Her words immediately froze the atmosphere.

Bella's eyes slightly widened, and a bitter, aggrieved feeling churned in her heart. "Amelia, what do you mean? Do you think I am someone who only cares about her family's safety and not the lives of others? Do you think I'm an egoist who only cares about what benefits me?"

The two sisters were close from childhood, and it was the first time they got into a fight tonight.

Justin's heart thumped nervously. He was caught in the middle and did not know what to say. He could only nudge Bella's shirt lightly. "Bella, how could Amelia possibly think that? Don't overthink it."

"I'm overthinking? Then why doesn't she explain what she meant by that!" Bella pulled her shirt out of Justin's anxious palm.

Justin's heart skipped a beat, and he pursed his thin lips bitterly.

Bella could remain calm even if there was a storm of insults and ridicule from outsiders, but this time, he could see that she was genuinely angry.

He knew what Bella hated most was being misunderstood by people close to her. It was agonizing for her.

The tremendous amount of pressure on her mental state day after day drained her energy, and she finally could not hold back at this moment, exploding at her dearest little sister. "Bella, you still haven't answered my question."

Unexpectedly, Amelia also had a stubborn personality. She slowly stood up and asked again, "If I'm not your sister, will you still stop me?"

"If your question was asked on the assumption that I'm a selfish person, I won't answer you."

Bella tried her best to suppress her anger, telling Justin in a low voice, "Justin, prepare a car and send Amelia home."

The two sisters parted on bad terms.

After Amelia left, Bella went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, downing a bottle of iced water in one breath, trying to cool herself down physically.

However, she still could not extinguish the irritation she felt in her heart. Her blood pressure was rising.

She thought, 'What the hell! Ryan's method of cooling down was not useful at all. Let me try another bottle!'

Just as Bella wanted to drink another bottle of iced water, Justin's muscular arm reached over her head, pressed against the refrigerator, and slammed it shut.

Bella raised her face and happened to meet Justin's deep and charming eyes. Suddenly, even her anger began to subside.

"You're drinking iced drinks behind my back again."

Justin frowned helplessly, his warm breath spraying on her nose, but his gaze was gentle and soft. "You love iced drinks too much. When will you make me feel at ease, hmm?"

"Forget drinking two bottles of iced water. Right now, I even feel like taking a plane and diving into the coldest sea in the world!" Bella pouted angrily, crossing her arms around her chest, and leaned against his solid chest.

"I'll jump with you." Justin lowered his eyes, kissing her forehead.

"Tsk... You're being cheesy again. I have no interest in joking around now."

Bella turned around in his arms and was about to speak when his warm lips covered hers, swallowing her words.

Their lips and tongues were entangled in a teasing and lingering kiss.

Bella hooked her arm over Justin's neck, and her mind was slowly taken over by desire. The anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

Their lips parted reluctantly. After all, they were about to suffocate if they continued kissing.
