Chapter 315
Bella gracefully tilted her head up, maintaining eye contact with Justin as she walked closer. At that moment, it felt like every drop of blood in his body seemed to converge at the tip of his heart. His throat tightened, and the muscles in his body tensed even further. It was as if every part of him was urging him to be with Bella, longing to reach out to her right then.
Zoe, noticing Justin’s reaction, furrowed her brows slightly. She held onto him tightly, as if guarding a precious treasure. Her overwhelming sense of possessiveness was triggered. She could sense that Justin not only knew this beautiful woman but also cared deeply for her!
Just when Justin thought Bella was approaching him, she unexpectedly turned like a gentle breeze, gliding past him.
“Christian!” Bella called out, leaving the bewildered Justin behind her.
“Oh! My sweetheart!” Christian, walking from the other end of the corridor, saw Bella as if encountering a long-lost friend. She waved at Bella with immense excitement and greeted her with kisses on the cheek. It was evident how close the two of them were.
Everyone, including the three men and Zoe, was left speechless.
Having been Christian’s protege for three years, Zoe knew Christian as a solitary and somewhat arrogant person. Christian rarely shared compliments and often had a sour expression.

“My dear, I never expected to see you in Savrow! OMG… If only I had known, I would have cleared my schedule to have dinner with you!” Christian joyfully embraced Bella.
“You still have rehearsals to prepare for. I wouldn’t want to disturb you.” Bella spoke fluent French, her tone soft and intimate as if it were her native language.
Bella used her identity as Sharon in her interactions with Christian, who had not only ordered more than one custom dress from her but had also developed a close personal relationship with her. It could be said that Bella had a magical charm. Anyone who collaborated with her would eventually become her friend.
As Justin watched Bella chat happily with the internationally renowned pianist Christian, memories of the past flooded his mind. His shoulders shuddered slightly, and suddenly, everything he thought about the world turned upside down.
He remembered the early days of his marriage, when Bella’s eyes used to light up with joy, much like Zoe’s. Bella would come across interesting things, chatting away like those young girls.
However, he often neglected her, not sparing her a single glance. Gradually, Bella became quieter, transforming into a silent presence at Tideview Manor, standing by his side.
