âWell, I guess this spam call came to harass you in person.â Asher took a sip of red wine, still in the
mood to joke.
After all, with Asher and Axel around, Jerkface Justin would not dare
try anything.
Otherwise, Asher would deal with him. By then, even Jesus would not
be able to save him.
âHow dare that jerk come to our door? That motherfucking son of a
bitch!â Axel cursed, keeping his eyes on the screen and typing with his
hands.
âSighâ¦â
â¦â Bella shook her head and stood up in frustration. âIâm the
reason heâs here, so I should be the one to drive him away. Iâll go
check it out.â
Bella came to the entrance alone and turned on the video intercom.
Justinâs cold and handsome face instantly appeared on the screen.
âWhat are you doing here?â
Bellaâs eyes were blank, as if he were a stranger to her. âAre there no
other attractions in Savrow that you had to take a stroll around my
house?â
âBella, please come out. Letâs talk,â Justin said in a deep voice,
ignoring her mocking tone.
âCanât we talk like this? I can still see your face and hear your voice.â
The manâs throat tightened as he exhaled deeply.
The woman in front of him was truly cold and ruthless.
âBella, stop making a fuss and come out. I have something to tell
you.â
âMake a fuss? How am I making a fuss? Youâre clearly not welcome
here. Canât you tell?â Bella could not help but sneer.
âCome out. I want to see you.â
Justinâs charming eyes twinkled in the dim light. His voice was so
hoarse. He was holding back too many complicated emotions and
only revealed them after it was too overwhelming. He wanted to let
go of his pride and dignity.
âI want to see you.â
Bellaâs heart throbbed violently as her blood surged. She pursed her
lips and took half a step back.
After a while, she took a deep breath and laughed lightly.
If she had heard Justin say this in the past, she would have be
excited that she would have cried tears of joy. For these words,
would be willing to do anything for him.
However, these words came too late. It was disgraceful to be
entangled in an expired marriage. It would only make her seem
worthless.
âJustin, the world is a cruel place. You canât always get what you
want.â
Bella tilted her head. Her mocking tone chilled his heart. âYou spent
three years teaching me this concept.â
âBellaâ¦â Justin felt a lump in his throat, and all the nerves in his body
spasmed.
âI donât think itâll rain tonight.â
Bella raised her eyes to look at the moon and said in a cold tone,â
Justin, last time I went out to see you, I was afraid that you would be
struck to death by lightning. This time, thereâs no way I will go out to
see you.â
Beep-
The video intercom was turned off. The screen plunged into darkness.
Justin stood outside the door with dull eyes. His body was enveloped
in the desolate and chilly air of late fall, and the cold penetrated his
core.
Bella returned upstairs with sluggish steps.
She did not understand how the man who used to ignore her had the
nerve to go over to her house and tell her that he wanted to see her
after their divorce. He was truly shameless.
What else could he say to her? In the past three years, he could have
talked to her about everything under the sun, but he chose to leave
her alone in the huge villa and neglect her.
She had wasted three years on him, so she vowed not to waste any
more time with this man.
As Bella walked into the study, Steven asked with concern, âHow are
you feeling, Ms. Bella? Did Justin make things difficult for you?â
âHmph! He wonât dare.â
Bella walked behind Asher, leaned over, and wrapped her arms tightly around her eldest brotherâs
neck, acting coquettishly.
âWhat about you? Did you make things difficult for Justin?â Asher
asked with a smile..
âNoâ¦â
âWhat a pity.â
Asher gently raised his hand to touch her cheek and joked, âIâm here
tonight, so this is your opportunity to beat him up and vent your
anger.â
Bella rolled her eyes. âThanks for the offer, Ash. But devout believers
should use peaceful means to solve problems.â
âBella! I finally did it! Why donât you open a bottle of red wine and
reward me? I want the most expensive one!â Axel shouted with
excitement and pumped his fists in the air.
âSteve, head down to the wine cellar later and give my second brother
a bottle of our best red wine.â
The worries in Bellaâs eyes disappeared as she hurriedly walked to
Axel. She put her left hand on his shoulder and her right arm on the
table. She stared at the screen intently and asked, âWhoâs the user
behind that account?â
âThis is her!â
Axel pointed at the screen. âShe is a social news reporter from â
Headlinesâ, Xena Gordon! The IP address of the other account is
exactly the same as her official one
