Ryan felt like he'd been shot in the heart, and he was visibly shaken by the pain.
Justin said, "In the Salvador family, she had no independence and lived an unhappy life. Now that she's with you, her whole life is dictated by you and revolves around your wishes. It's too much. I don't think it's healthy for her to be so submissive." Justin closed his eyes and took a sip of wine. “Maybe both of you need stapart to cool off and really think about how to move forward in this relationship." "Justin... Do you hear yourself?!" Ryan slammed his hands on the table, causing the wine in the decanter to ripple. His eyes were crimson, more intense than the red wine. "When you pursued Bella, I never left your side during your toughest times! It's fine if you won't supportnow... Are you askingto give up?" Ryan's voice cracked with pain and bitterness. "In your eyes, I am just a reckless and irresponsible bastard who abandons things halfway, right? You never really wanted Carrie andto be together... From the very beginning, you never truly intended to entrust Carrie to me! I've just wasted my twith you!" Justin frowned and said, “Ryan, you're approaching this too one-sidedly." "If it was Bella and I asked you to let her go and take a step back or give her up... Letask you, Justin, could you?!" Ryan's laughter was filled with pain.
"You couldn't, right? Losing Bella would be like losing your soul, wouldn't it? Well, it's the sfor me. If I lost Carrie, what would be the point of living? When you suggest reconsidering this relationship or taking Carrie away from me... You're not just hurting me. It feels like you're tearingapart!" "Bella and Carrie are different. How much can Carrie endure? Forget about enduring. Even a slight shock could make her world collapse!" Justin's eyes darkened, his current worry and anxiety resembling that of a father choosing a son-in-law for his daughter. "What ordinary people can endure, she can't. What ordinary people can withstand, she can't handle. To love her, you need courage, perseverance, and patience that are a million times greater than normal. But today, your actions have clearly shown impatience. Otherwise, you wouldn't have dealt with the situation so forcefully!" Ryan felt a sudden surge of coldness in his heart. He realized he was at fault this time, and there was no one else to blbut himself.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, a loud and distinct voice interrupted them. "What's with all the noise at this hour?" Both men looked up to see Bella standing in the living room, her hand on her hip, her gaze piercing. “Carrie is awake now, but she's feeling a little weak." As she finished speaking, Bella's eyes fell upon Ryan's face, filled with bitterness. "Go inside and see her." Ryan felt like he had been given a second chance and hurriedly climbed the stairs in just three lunges.
Chapter 1502 1 Sitting down, he looked up at her with intense affection, his large hands rubbing her waist gently. "Are you tired? Letaccompany the back to the room. You should rest. I'll be here for Carrie, so you don't need to worry." "I'm not tired," Bella replied softly.
"You're not tired? You can't even be bothered to say one more word." Justin teased, lifting the petite woman, around her waist and settling her on his lap. Leaningdown, he placed a gentle kiss on her red lips. "If you don't want to go back to the room, just rest in my arms." "I don't want to... Your muscles are all stiff and uncomfortable," Bella replied with a teasing tone.
