Chapter 676

“But have you considered why you still lost against me despite being well prepared?” Justin’s eyes

remained composed, and he gave a beautiful yet cynical smile. “Even if I resorted to playing mind

games, it’s all to win Bella’s favor. On the other hand, your intentions seem far from innocent. Despite

knowing that Mrs. Iverson was feeling unwell, you insisted on bringing her to the banquet tonight. Just

by doing that, you’ve set yourself up for failure.”

With those words, Justin walked away. Christopher’s breath was ragged as he gazed hatefully at

Justin.

The banquet unfolded in a lively and joyful atmosphere.

Justin felt extremely happy to have achieved an initial victory. He decided to step outside for a smoke

to reward himself.

He did not walk far from the banquet hall when a delicate call reached his ears, tugging at his

heartstrings.

“Justin!”

His chest tightened, and he swiftly turned around. Bella was swiftly approaching him.

Her clear, bright eyes sparkled with hope. Her silky hair was swaying lightly with the wind, and her red

lips exuded a seductive charm.

Justin felt an impulse surge within him to pull her tightly into ant embrace and kiss her.

In they could hear each other’s erratic breathing. There were no words exchanged, just silence. The

tension in the air was almost palpable. link of an eye, Bella stood before him. Their gazes met, and

Bella was the first to break the silence. “I didn’t expect you to prepare such an unexpected gift for Aunt

Celeste tonight.” She lightly coughed.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she continued. “I could tell that among all the birthday gifts, the one

she liked most was the crown prop you gave her. It even overshadowed all the gifts I gave her.”

Justin’s complexion suddenly turned pale, and he quickly explained, ” I’m sorry, Bella. I just thought that

Madam Celeste would like the gift very much. I didn’t think it through.”

He continued to apologize, “I’m really sorry. I never had the intention of stealing the limelight. You’re

Madam Celeste’s precious family, and the gift you gave her must be her favorite.”

“Hey, can you stop apologizing to me for no reason? How ma imes do I have to say it? I hate it when

you keep saying sorry to m makes me feel like I bully you all the time!”

Bella frowned impatiently and pursed her red lips. “I just want thank you for your gift.”

Justin was shocked. He could handle it when she scolded him, hi him, and threw tantrums at him. But

when she unexpectedly said ” thank you”, he found himself at a loss.

“It’s been a long, long time since I felt this happy, especially about Aunt Celeste.” Bella smiled

contentedly. “So, no matter what, I have to express my gratitude.”

“In your heart, family will always be the most important. That’s great.” Justin gazed affectionately.

“You used to be important to me too.” Bella’s heart trembled at the thought. A myriad of emotions

surged in her chest.

“By the way, Bella, come with me.” Justin grabbed her hand. “I also have a gift for you.”
