NovelStartChristopher leaned his head on his hand, his voice laced with laziness. “I can’t wait to see the good show those brothers put on.”
“Mr. Christopher, Jace looks almost identical to the fifth son of the Thompson family, who died in a plane crash. Could they be the
sperson?” Taylor asked, puzzled.
“So what if they are? It would only make my gmore interesting.”
Christopher could not help but laugh. “Dying in his own brother's hand will allow him to die without regrets.”
“Ralph kept sabotaging our plans, and he’s a police officer. If we can get rid of him, our lives will be so much easier.”
Taylor hesitated as he said, “But you asked Ms. Yvonne to apany him... Are you still suspecting her? Do you want to test her?”
Christopher's eyes were half-shut behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
Since the Solloways broke off the engagement, Nigel had been sleeping well and eating heartily. He also had enough reason to
fetch his granddaughter to Crescent Bay for a short stay.
On the weekends, Justin and Bella, who had been busy the entire week, prepared gifts and went to visit Nigel happily.
On the way, Bella received a call from Asher.
“Asher!” Bella pressed the speaker, sounding sweet and soft.
“You sound happy. Any good news?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAsher chuckled warmly. “Are you registering with Justin?”
Registering?
Bella blinked and stared at Justin's handsface.
The man holding her waist beside her curled up his lips. “I have my social security card and passport ready every day. As long as
Bella is willing to reinstate our marriage, we could do it anytime.”
His last words lightly brushed past her reddened ears, disrupting Bella's breath, and her heart fluttered.
“My identity would change after getting married, and ites with more responsibilities. I'd rather be more carefree as Mr.
Salvador’s girlfriend.” Bella's eyes flickered, refusing to follow his lead, even though she knew he had been longing and coveting
that day for too long.
There was no other way. The members of the Thompson family were usually decisive and ruthless, but when it cto love, they
were all silly.
Upon hearing it, Justin felt a sourness spread in his chest.
Bella's unintended words struck a chord in him. He took it as a display of trauma from the pain those three years of marriage
brought her.
All he felt was distress.
So, the man’s trembling fingers clasped her hand tightly, pressing it against his heart as he took a deep breath to control the
surging emotions within him.
“It’s alright. It’s all up to you. Anyway, you've marriedonce. Regardless of whether we are official, I'll be with you forever.”
Bella's face reddened immediately, her glistening eyes looking left and right, not daring to meet his overly intense gaze.
“It's good to date for a longer time.” Asher’s rich voice cthrough, full of affection. “Justin, you don’t need to rush it. Bella has
experienced married life, but apart from you, she has not had a passionate and satisfying romance with any man. Just satisfy her
this once. Being a dating couple is not quite the sfeeling as being married.”
Bella was exposed. She straightened her back immediately and yelled, “Ash! Who has never dated before?! | have had many
admirers in school, more than you can count! They grow like chives!”
Asher chuckled. “Chives are an inappropriate metaphor. I'd say they're like sugar cane. You break them as soon as theye.”
Bella was speechless. Asher must have been with Arnold for too long. His tongue was getting sharper!
Justin's thin lips could not help but curl upward. He pulled Bella into his arms tightly, and his heart was filled with joy.
He rubbed her round shoulder as he coaxed in a deep voice, “I will keep you in a honey jar, so just thinking about dating will give
you a toothache.”
“Ugh... You're already sickeningly sweet now. You need to givespersonal space occasionally, okay?” Bella nearly

The man’s voice was husky as he refused her. “Not okay.”
Bella blushed and settled into Justin's embrace, giving up her struggle.
Asher said, “Let's get back to the topic. | called because I've gotten information on the owner of the car license plate you asked me
to investigate before.”
Bella hurriedly asked, “Who was it?”
Ralph's cold voice cthrough. “It's a government vehicle that belongs to the RC Biotech Research Centre in Meridan.”
