Chapter 288
At the Salvador Hotel, Rosalind was enjoying her glorious moment under the spotlights. Meanwhile, Bella drove alone in her Bugatti. She cruised along the mountain road, encircling Crescent Bay while enjoying the gentle breeze.
Inside the car, the cheerful tune played, and she sang along while driving, an air of happiness surrounding her.
At this moment, Axel’s call came in.
Bella answered the call in a sweet and tender voice, “Hello, Ax!”
“Oh my, how sweet. I’m tempted to record this and send it to Drew just to make him jealous!” Axel laughed. His voice was cheerful and lively.
“Since you called me, does this mean Circling back to the serious matter, Bella asked, “Since everything has been sorted?”
Axel answered, “Yes, everything is all prepared, Asher’s side included, “Axel said proudly.” Your brothers are very capable, so just rest assured.”
“I’m on my way to visit Grandpa Nigel now.” Bella continued, “I heard that everyone in the Salvador family was coerced by Shannon to attend Rosalind’s birthday banquet. Only Grandpa Nigel chose not to go.”
Bella sat in silence, lost in her own thoughts. ‘Grandpa Nigel enjoys lively moments. He keeps it to himself, not wanting to trouble anyone, but he is really afraid of loneliness. Grandpa Nigel has always cared for me deeply. I should be there by his side now.’
When thinking about Nigel, Bella’s eyes held a soft, warm light. She could not help but feel sad for him.
Back when she was still Justin’s wife, she would keep Nigel company whenever she could. They would have the most wonderful conversation. They even wrote poetry and appraised antiques together. She would even serenade him with his favorite opera songs and take long walks by the beach. Their time together was always filled with warmth.
On the last Valentine’s Day, there was a heavy snowfall in Savrow. Despite the harsh weather, Bella decided to visit Nigel at his place with handmade snacks. She still clearly remembers the day when Nigel saw her with her red face and nose due to the cold and was surprised to see her there.
Nigel exclaimed, “Bella, it’s Valentine’s Day! Why aren’t you spending it with Justin? What brings you to this old man’s place?” At that moment, Bella was still deeply in love with Justin and quickly made up an excuse for her visit to Nigel’s house.
Bella replied, “Justin is the president of Salvador Group. He’s always busy with work. Even on Valentine’s Day, presidents don’t get a day off. Besides, Justin has prepared a gift for me. It’s the thought that counts.”
