Carrying heavy eyebags, Drew hissed through clenched teeth, “Your snoring will kill me.” Axel carried a pillow out and yawned. Still, he snapped back, "Do you think you're an angel in bed? You wouldn't stop grinding your teeth! I feel bad for your future wife." "Axel! Drew!" Bella was moved to tears, feeling bad about the comment she made.
She thought her brothers were the worst.

"Bella!" Not sleepy anymore, Axel and Drew rushed to Bella.
"Axel has been here since day 1. Drew rushed back from abroad as soon as he could, and Declan is on the way," Asher uttered softly.
Asher approached Bella and patted her shoulder in assurance. "Don't worry, Bella. We are all here." "Ralph is away on a mission to arrest a wanted criminal. He will be back in two days, at the earliest." Mila felt bad. "I didn't let him know about Wyatt's stroke in case he..." "Say no more, Aunt Mila. I understand."

Axel clicked his tongue. "I can't believe he would act like there wasn't any bad blood between us. Is he a psycho?" Bella said chillingly, "Tell him to leave." "But he said he has something important to give to you. You'd find it useful," Steven relayed, not wanting Bella to miss out on anything vital.
"Here it is, the same-old manipulation tactic. Does he think would fall for it or trust him again?" Bella's eyes turned red-rimmed, and her knuckles popped from the strain. Justin pressed his lips together with a somber look. "Asher, your other brothers, and I are here with you, Bella. He won't be able to do anything to you. Why don't you meet him and see what he wants?" Bella was surprised by Justin's progressive thinking. It would not have been something that cout of Justin's mouth in the past.
Drew raised his brow. "Oh? That's nice of you. Christopher is your No. 1 rival. Aren't you afraid of your competition?" Justin replied indifferently, "That's not my consideration. I just don't want Bella to miss out on what she needs." Asher, Axel, and Drew were impressed with Justin.
