Chapter 729
Bella thought, ‘Well, it makes sense!’
After paying the bill, Bella got up and went to the washroom.
Right after she left, her phone started vibrating on the table.
Christopher leaned forward and lowered his eyes. He pressed on the
screen with a finger and dragged the phone to him.
Then, his gaze turned cold, and he picked up the phone, putting it against his ear.
“Bella, can you talk now? Bella?”
On the other end of the phone, Justin called out affectionately.
Christopher did not speak.
Seeing that there was no response, Justin’s voice became hoarse ” Bella, where are you now? Can I
meet you?”

Two seconds later, Justin called again.
Christopher snorted and added Justin’s number to the blacklist, ther
returned the phone to its place.
“Sorry for the wait. Let’s go.”
At this moment, Bella returned. She touched up her lipstick, and her
fair skin was delicate and flawless.
Christopher’s throat bobbed as he looked at her with a smile. “Okay.”
Bella sat in the passenger seat of Christopher’s sports car as they
drove toward the east side of the city.
“Where are we going?” Bella asked.
“We’ll be reaching soon.”
Twenty minutes later, the car entered East Meadows, a newly built
racecourse for horses.
“A racecourse?!” Bella rolled down the window, her eyes shining.
“Do you remember when we were young and I still lived in Hatchbay? You always sneaked me into
your family’s racecourse and let me feed the horses with you.” Christopher turned sideways to look at
her and smiled warmly.
“I remember! You were a scaredy-cat and didn’t even dare to touch the horses.” Bella’s tone lightened
up when she spoke of the past
Christopher smiled wryly, somewhat exasperated. In fact, he was scared of the horse, but he was
afraid of getting his hands dirty.
“This racecourse belongs to the Iverson family. It was just complet this autumn and not yet opened to
the public.”

After parking the car, Christopher led Bella and walked into the
racecourse.
“Both of you, stop!”
Unexpectedly, they were stopped by two bodyguards at the entrance.” We are not open to the public
yet. Tourists are not allowed!”
Bella could not help feeling stunned, casting a complex gaze at
Christopher, who was expressionless.
Lance Iverson’s sons, James and Charles, were well-known
throughout the Iverson Group, but Christopher was denied entry by two bodyguards.
The difference in treatment made even an outsider like Bella feel infuriated.
“Bella, I’m sorry.”
Christopher frowned slightly with a bitter smile. “It’s rare for you to come out with me, but I let you
witness such an awkward situation.”
