A heart-warming sensation stirred within Justin.
He reached his hand behind Bella's neck and pressed her toward him to deepen the kiss.
The old lady in the food truck turned away to clear some tables. She knew it was best to give the couple some privacy.
The sweet kiss between Justin and Bella was a punch in Christopher's gut.
Christopher felt like his heart was ripped apart.
Taylor sighed glumly.
Anything could be obtained through effort and manipulation except love.
Christopher poured his heart and soul into Bella, but she threw herself at Justin anyway.
Justin did not deserve Bella.
Bella pulled back from Justin's lips, her eyes glossy. She choked with sobs and said, "Things were tough for you, Justin. But that's in the past now. The good life is waiting for us."
"You make me the happiest man alive." Justin pulled her into his arms and held her tight while dreaming of their beautiful future together.
He was not a romantic, nor did he know the right things to say.
However, Justin was willing to put in the effort to learn for Bella.
Bella nestled in his embrace and listened to his steady heartbeat. A lump was caught in her throat as she turned tearful.
"Are you crying, Bella?" Justin was surprised.
"It's all your fault." Bella nuzzled his chest and whined.
Feeling something stirring inside, Justin lowered his gaze and asked, "What's wrong? Do you feel bad for your man?"
Bella was too embarrassed to admit it, but the glistening tears in her eyes gave away the answer.
"Don't cry, silly girl. The hardships make me stronger. Tough situations don't scare me. In fact, I love facing adversities because they are opportunities to grow."
Justin was overcome with emotions. While he did feel bad, he was relieved and happy to feel connected to Bella. "Do you know how grateful I am to have survived my childhood and my service in Kridor? Otherwise, I would never have the chance to fall in love with you."
Under a sky dusted with stars and bathed in moonlight, a soft breeze brushed against their backs as they stood close, a warm silence enveloping them.
They did not notice a sedan keeping too close of an eye on them from across the road.
"It's late, Mr. Iverson. We should head back." Taylor wiped his sweat and spoke cautiously.
Slumping against his seat in dejection, Christopher closed his bloodshot eyes and removed his gold-rimmed glasses once more.
Then came a crack.
"Mr. Iverson! You..." Taylor looked back in shock.
