"I've never stopped searching for her, but I don't even know her nor what she looks like. There's nowhere to start." Justin smiled self-mockingly. "I gave her a nickname, Little Dove. Doves symbolize hope. I was able to cback alive from the battlefield because of her. She gavehope." Bella's eyes teared up again.
At this point, regardless of whether he knew she was Little Dove, it was enough.

At this time, lan returned.
"lan, you're back? Have you eaten? If not, I'll heat something up for you," Bella asked with concern, sounding more like a considerate elder sister than his boss's wife.
"I'm not hungry." lan quickly shook his head, his eyes dim, and his brows furrowed with a rare sadness.
Bella and Justin exchanged glances. Their thoughts were connected, so they understood what each other was thinking without saying a word.

Justin's eyes darkened as he placed his hand on Bella's narrow waist, teasingly asking, "Is it because of me?" "Mr. Salvador, it's not good to indulge in lust.

Seeing that Justin was pouring wine for him, lan felt flattered and quickly stood up, bowing respectfully, and held his glass with both hands. "Mr. Salvador, I can do it myself. This is below you!" Justin poured the wine expressionlessly. "Stop the nonsense. There's justand you here; no need to act." lan was speechless.
They drank in silence for a while before Justin asked, "Did you go to visit Ms. Mead?" lan's expression turned stiff, and he replied quietly, "Yes..." "So what do you want to do?" Justin cut straight to the point. He was never one to beat around the bushes.
lan pursed his lips tightly, feeling a surge of complex emotions wash over him, his eyes gradually reddening. "Mr. Salvador, do you believe that I will fall in love with a girtin a few short days?" "Yes." lan was stunned.
One had to know that his boss was the least perceptive person when it cto matters of love. Apart from Bella, Justin was numb to anyone's feelings. "Even Bella could fall in love with a lousy man likeat first sight. Why is it impossible for you to fall for an outstanding girl like Ms. Mead?" Justin's gaze flickered, and he smiled bitterly.
