Chapter 540
Bella opened the food boxes and widened her eyes in surprise.
Inside were exquisite dishes featuring the specialties of Hatchbay.
They were meticulously arranged with delightful colors, aromas,
flavors.
and
Unexpectedly, every dish was something she often ate at home and
loved!
Gurgle... Her stomach couldn’t help but growl.
“I heard that Justin sent someone to drive to Hatchbay around five in
the morning to bring these back. The lunchbox has a thermal
insulation layer, and the dishes are still warm.” Steven took out each
dish from the box, speaking in a monotone manner like a robot.
Steven knew that this was just the beginning, and Justin was starting
to launch a pursuit of Bella.
Although Steven had loved Bella before and didn’t oppose her dating,
he was afraid that the person pursuing her would be Justin.
“Does he have a problem with his brain? Who asked him to do all this
for me?” Despite her tough words, she couldn’t resist picking up a
warm dumpling and taking a big bite.
Steven watched her with a wry smile!
“Ms. Thompson, is it delicious?”
A magnetic voice sounded in her ear. Startled, Bella almost choked
on the dumpling.
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough...” Bella covered her chest and coughed in pain, her face turning red.
“Ms. Bella, are you okay?” Steven was taken aback, and he reached
out to pat her back.
When Justin saw Steven’s hands touching Bella’s back, a fire seemed
to ignite in his heart.
It was as if someone were fanning the flames in his chest.
Even though Justin knew there was nothing between Bella and
Steven, he still felt a tinge of jealousy in his chest.
Justin’s brows furrowed deeply, and he was about to walk over to
Bella.
Unexpectedly, it was Bella who strode towards him first, furious.
“What happened last night? Why was I on the bed?” Bella angrily
questioned.
“I carried you over. Sleeping on the sofa is uncomfortable,” Justin
answered with a gentle tone.
His warm breath sprayed onto her forehead, carrying an indescribable
hint of ambiguity.
“Who allowed you to do such unnecessary things?” Bella met his
gaze, which was filled with affection, and tightened her fists.
“Anything I do for you is never unnecessary,” Justin said sincerely.
His expression was genuine and devoid of any frivolity. Paired with
3/4
those sultry eyes, few women could resist his damned charm.
“Justin, your touching gestures may move the heavens and the earth, but they won’t move me. Save it,” Bella scoffed.
She assessed the man before her and noticed his navy pinstriped designer suit and the tie she had once given him. On the crisp
collar, she spotted a brooch that she had gifted him. Her pupils slightly contract.
“Are you planning to leave the hospital?”
“Yes,” he answered frankly.
“You can’t. You don’t meet the discharge criteria.”
“Then will you stay with me until the day I meet the discharge criteria
and can leave?” Justin raised his lips, licking his lips as he ask
“What nonsense are you thinking?” Bella narrowed her beauti
Was she being too nice to this man?
“Well, I don’t want to be imprisoned here. Even more, I don’t wan
go a day without seeing you.” Justin stared at her with rebellious, childlike eyes that still carried deep affection for her.
Bella had never seen this childish side of Justin before. For a
moment, she was taken aback, forgetting to continue arguing with
