Chapter 727
On the roadside opposite the KS Group, Christopher leaned against his car and stood under the golden
sunset with his hands in his pockets. He stared at the entrance to the KS Group with a deep gaze.
He had been waiting the past few days for Bella to contact him, even if it was just a message. However,
his hopes were in vain, indirectly confirming one thing.
The woman he loved did not have a place for him in her heart.
But he knew for sure that Bella still reserved a place for Justin in her heart. It was just that the shadow
of divorce loomed between them, and Bella was unwilling to admit she still harbored feelings for Justin.
Thinking about this, Christopher adjusted his golden-rimmed glasses with a sinister gaze, emanating a
chill that even the radiant sunlight could not penetrate.
“Chris.”
Upon hearing the crisp voice calling out to him, a warm smi returned to Christopher’s gloomy face.
“Bella, you finally came.”
Bella walked briskly toward him, with her hands behind her back. tilted her head and asked, “Finally?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDid you wait for long? Didn’t y just arrive a while ago?”
She was like a bright and cheerful young woman, identical to the gir who saved him from the abyss 15
years ago.

Whenever he saw her, he could not move his burning gaze away from
her face, even though he was not a man who coveted beauty.
“It’s been quite long. Ever since we last met at Madam Celeste’s birthday banquet, I’ve been looking
forward to meeting you again.” Christopher’s smile could not hide his sorrow. Coupled with his pale
complexion, he felt like a broken man, evoking pity from Bella..
Bella was stunned for a moment.
Only then did she recall that she had not greeted him and Sophie properly, as she had left in a hurry
that day.
It was impolite of her.
“Sorry. That day… You knew what happened. It was a mess. I was worried about my family, so…”
“Bella, you really should apologize to me.” Christopher’s expression suddenly became stern.
Bella was stunned. “What?”
“Why didn’t you ask for my help? It’s not a small matter.”
Christopher took a step closer and complained in a low voice, “Be don’t you trust me? Do you think I
can’t help you?”
“Chris, it’s not like that.”
“I only hate the fact that I arrived too late that day. I’m not as fast as Justin, or I would immediately rush
to protect you too.” Christopher’s breathing became heavy, and complicated emotions surged in his
eyes.

“Don’t. If you get hit by the metal bat, your head will split into two.”
Bella quickly waved her hands, feeling suffocated when she looked into Christopher’s eyes. “It’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmenough for Justin to take the hit. Chris, you don’t need to join in the mess.”
“Why could he take the hit for you, but I can’t? Do you think only
Justin could protect you?” Christopher’s eyes reddened, and his voice was tense.
Bella slightly leaned backward. She was a little surprised by his reaction. “I don’t mean it that way. I
don’t hope for you to get hurt. Why do you want to get hurt? It’s not allowed, even for my sake.”
A rare warmth surged in Christopher’s heart as he glanced at her affectionately. “Bella, do you care
about me?”
Bella’s heart skipped a beat.
“Do you care about me?”
After they divorced, Justin would always ask brainless questions like this. Every time, she would shoot
him down with harsh words, I g him in tatters.
However, in the depths of her heart, she still felt a tingling pain.
But when Christopher asked this question, her heart was calm. S felt too calm. There was nothing
wrong with it; it just proved that Justin was more important to her.
