Chapter 819
“I’ll make this rascal cook you breakfast tomorrow and prepare your
bath tonight! Matt can take a rest for two days, so Justin will handle
all the household chores!”
Justin pursed his lips, his brows twitching.
He could prepare her bathwater, but cooking? Nigel must have
thought he had too much time to live.
“Grandpa Nigel, I...” Bella hesitated, her eyes flickering.
Just as she tried to form her words, Christopher suddenly stepped
forward. His lips curled up, forming a gentle smile that the older generation would love. “Old Master Nigel, I’m afraid Bella can’t
accompany you tonight.”
“Why?” Nigel frowned.
Christopher sighed, looking at Bella’s weary face with affection and distress. “Bella performed a challenging surgery on my
brother today
and stood for almost ten hours. She was exhausted and almost
fainted when she came out of the operating room.”
“What?!” Nigel was stunned and leaned forward.
Justin was also shocked, his heart twisting.
How unreasonable and unbelievable! A mix of emotions made
Justin’s gaze complicated.
It turned out that she had just performed a major surgery. No wonder
she looked tired. Her complexion was not great either, as if she were
sick.
Justin’s jaw stiffened, and his lips slowly parted.
He wanted to say something, but his words were stuck in his throat,
and he could not get them out.
What was he feeling awkward about? Why was he hesitating?
“So I’m going to bring Bella home now. My house is further down the road from Bella’s villa, so we’ll go together.”
Christopher hovered his arms around Bella’s shoulder without directly touching her, showing his gentlemanly side in front of the
Salvadors.” Old Master Nigel, I know you like Bella and care about her. But Bella divorced Justin. Even an outsider like me thinks
it’s inappropriate for her to live in your house under the same roof as Justin. If you really care about Bella, you should’ve
considered her feelings a bit more.”
His words were humble and calm, but they lit a fire in Nigel’s heart Even Justin’s eyes were filled with anger.
How dare this brat speak to him like this? How dare he be so
arrogant?!
Justin frowned and was about to retort with a cold face when Bella said, “Chris, Grandpa Nigel is my family. Everything he does
is for my sake. Don’t say such words again.”
“Oh! Old Master Nigel! I didn’t expect to meet you here. What a
coincidence!”
The crowd glanced at the source of the voice. It was Lance, hurrying
toward them with his secretary.
Chapter 619
A trace of surprise flashed across Bella’s eyes.
Chairman Iverson was just crying over his beloved son becoming disabled not long ago, yet here he is now, talking and laughing
like a
different person.
Bella could understand it. After all, the Salvadors and Iversons were
business rivals, so Lance would never show his fragile side in front of
his enemy.
“Lance, I heard about Charles’ accident. Is he okay?” Nigel asked with
concern.
“Charles got into a car crash. At first, his situation was not
optimistic.”
Lance turned around and looked at Bella gratefully. “But Bella’s magical hands had helped Charles through his hardship! Others
may not know how to cherish her, but that’s not something I can do anything about. Bella is a lucky star for the Iverson family! I’m
good. friends with Wyatt, so I naturally treat Bella as my own daughter!”
