“Ah!” She exclaimed as Justin pulled her into his arms, enveloping her in his musky scent.

Still, she did not say anything about it. Instead, she put her right hand over his tensed hand and gave him a gentle pat as he held her.
His heavy heaving lingered along the wisps of her hair and her ne stirring a moist and tickling sensation.
She shuddered and caught a whiff of tobacco. She frowned. “Huh Did you smoke?” “I'm sorry, Bella. | couldn't help myself.” Justin's voice was hoarse with guilt. He rested his chin on her shoulder, snuggling up to her. “It won't happen again.” “Is something on your mind?” Sensing his crestfallen mood, Bella was alarmed.
“No.” “Did Chairman Salvador give you trouble at work today?” Nothing went past the woman's eye.
Justin curled his lips wryly. “I need to check later whether you planted a bug on me.” “Hmph! Yeah, | did. Here.” Bella turned around and cheekily poked his chest. “Was it about Shannon?” “I held a corporate meeting today to relieve Shannon of all her duties. Gregory wasn’t having it. He still wants to save Shannon.” Justin spoke nonchalantly and tucked her stray hair behind her ear. But don’t worry, | won't let him get away with it.

“I know. The best thing about my dad is that he’s selfish.” Upset, Justin sighed dejectedly. He felt like his family problem was extended to her. “But don’t worry. When we get married, we won't stay at Tideview Manor. We'll move out.” Get married? Bella's heart raced, and she blushed.
“If you want to spend more twith your family, I'll live with you in Hatchbay. If you're worried about Grandpa, we can buy a property in Crescent Bay. It'll be easy to get together.” Justin's eyes sparkled as he envisioned their future together.

“You're the boss.” Justin kissed her lips.
They locked lips, and their breaths mingled.
A while later, Bella left his lips breathlessly, her face flushing. “It will be hard for you to go to work and back if we live in Hatchbay. The daily transit will take 4 hours.” “| can just take the chopper. Since lan can’t pilot that, | can do it. That's not important, though. All | want is for you to always be hap Nothing mattered more than her happiness.
Bella’s eyes welled up. She was touched by his words.
However, she got the feeling that something was still bothering him.
