Chapter 546

On the way back, Bella rested her head on Asher’s shoulder, feeling sleepy. In reality, she was curious

about what Declan had said to Justin.

She decided against it after some consideration. Whatever was said. was most likely not pleasant.

Declan may seem gentle, but his words could be even sharper and more brutal than hers. She didn’t

want to hear what he said about Justin.

It was not out of pity for that jerk. Rather, it would be extremely disheartening to witness the person she

once loved with all her heart. getting belittled by the person closest to her.

“Are you asleep, Bella?” Asher suddenly asked in a gentle voice.

“No, Ash. Do you want to talk about something?” Bella blinked in surprise.

“Bella, have you noticed that Steven and Amelia are a little strange lately?” Asher asked with a faint

smile. “I might be mistaken, but I always get the impression that there is a subtle tension between

them.”

“What do you mean by ‘a subtle tension”?”

Bella’s jaw almost dropped as she stared at her brother, her eyes wide. and watery. “Have you had too

much to drink, Ash? Are you joking?”

“I never make jokes about romantic relationships. Didn’t you notice that their faces turned red and their

expressions turned strange wher

Steve supported Amelia? Especially Amelia, the way she looked Steve… How should I put it? It is

exactly like how you used to look at Justin.”

Bella’s fair eyelids drooped as she was rendered speechless. “Ash, why are you dragging me into this

with Amelia?”

Although Bella was complaining, in her heart, she was secretly thinking about Steven and Amelia’s

relationship. When did this happen? How did she not notice anything?

“Steven is not young anymore. He’s already thirty years old. Since graduating from university, he has

been working diligently as my secretary.” Asher continued, “Since I assigned him to assist you, he

hasn’t uttered a single complaint. Year after year, he has worked tirelessly, rarely taking proper breaks.”

Asher put his arms around Bella’s shoulders, his tone sincere and earnest. “Bella, if he wishes to

pursue a romantic relationship and experience a different life, I hope you can support Steve.”

“Wow! Steve is actually playing games behind my back! They say he looks like a cute puppy, but how

come his character doesn’t match his appearance, huh?” Bella fiercely punched the car window with a

delicate fist, gritting her teeth. “Men are all the same! He falls in love with Amelia right after confessing

his deep feelings to me. I only have. one younger sister! If he has any inappropriate thoughts about

Amelia, I swear, I will exile him to an African safari as a snack for the lions

“Did Steve confess to you?” Asher raised an intrigued eyebrow, slightly surprised.

“Yeah, but I rejected him.” Bella had always been unapologetic in front of her eldest brother and openly

expressed her emotions. “It’s not that he’s not good enough. It’s just that I don’t have any romantic

feelings for him. Besides, I’ve been through a divorce and have no intentions to date again. I’d rather

not waste his time.”

Bella added, “But how could he suddenly develop an interest in Amelia? The seamless transition

worries me a lot.”

“Steve is not that kind of person, Bella. As for your concerns about the seamless transition, maybe

Steve has been around you for too long. You were both his first and unrequited love.”

“He has grown accustomed to treating you with care and kindness, so it’s possible that he

unconsciously developed feelings for Amelia.

He might not even be aware of it himself,” Asher earnestly shared his thoughts.

“What? How is it possible not to know if you’ve fallen for someone?”

Bella frowned, her expression carrying a hint of skepticism.

“Emotions are the most intricate, tangled, and complex thing in this world,” Asher said, his deep eyes

narrowing thoughtfully. “For example, thirteen years later, Justin once again saved your life. When. you

face him now, can you truly distinguish between love and hatred?

Can you guarantee that your feelings toward him are purely resentment and hatred, without a trace of

love?”

Bella felt a stab in her chest, her breath becoming heavier.

She recalled the eventful and dangerous night. Justin carried her over a long distance in the pouring

rain despite his heavy injuries.

To keep her warm in the dark and damp cave, he took off almost all his clothes to keep her warm. The

memories made her feel warm insade
