Chapter 1036 Justin suddenly felt his heart sink.
After several encounters, he realized that his understanding of Christopher far surpassed that of his less insightful companion.
While Bella viewed Christopher as her childhood friend, he did not see Bella in the sway. Justin knew that Christopher was the kind of person who nitpicked over every detail, held grudges and sought vengeance relentlessly. In other words, he was petty!

Asher’s gaze held a mix of paternal love and worry as he observed Bella. “The idea of you associating with someone like him keeps restless all day and night. He has no boundaries with anyone and will use any means necessary to get what he wants. We have no idea if he might someday turn those methods against you. Bella, you're my dearest sister and my lifeline. | can’t risk your happiness. | can’t afford to lose.” Asher’s heartfelt words brought tears to Bella's eyes. “Ash...” Asher gently ran his hand through Bella’s hair, then turned to Justin and asked, “Mr. Salvador, since you already suspected Christopher's involvement during your ton the South Island, why didn’t you Chapter 1036 informthen?

“Besides, Christopher is someone Bella values deeply.” Justin concluded, deciding not to elaborate further.
Bella felt a sharp pang in her heart as if a sharp blade had pierced through her throat. “So... Was the reason why you didn’t say anything back then because you were afraid I'd be angry?” “Yeah.” Justin admitted with a sheepish smile, his charming eyes reflecting a hint of embarrassment. “I was being too timid. That's not at all like a man should be, right?

In Bella's presence, this once dignified man seemed to crumble, 3/4 fearing even the slightest misstep might upset her and undo all the goodwill he had painstakingly regained.

Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have likely been driven away by now.
The plane flew smoothly toward Savrow, the cabin enveloped in silence. Ryan, who was exhausted, had already drifted off to sleep.
Bella leaned against Justin, their heads resting side by side. He gently squeezed her hand, feeling its warmth and tenderness, which melted his heart.
Suddenly, Justin's expression hardened as he sensed something amiss with Bella's left pinky.
“Bella, what happened to your pinky? Did it get injured?” Chapter 1036 4/4 Bella’s breath hitched suddenly, her body trembling in his embrace.
“Bella, what's wrong?” Justin's concern grew as he felt her distress.
