Sophie clung to Christopherâs arm nervously. âI want to be with you. Donât leave me to sit here alone.â
The group exchanged glances.
âUh, Mila. Why do I get the feeling that somethingâs off with Sophie?â Sasha nudged Mila and asked
quietly.
âWyatt told me that Sophie has Alzheimerâs. I think her condition took a turn for the worse. She couldnât
even recognize us,â Mila murmured
back.
âHuh? Jesus. Sheâs too young to have dementia. Poor woman.â Sasha gave Sophie a sympathetic
look.
With Sophie latching on to her son, Christopher looked at Bella
helplessly.
âMr. Salvador.â
After much hesitation, Bella looked down and tapped on Just
shoulder. âDo you mind giving up your seat?â
The man looked up, the shock evident in his eyes. He met her

Ryan pressed his lips together to hold back the laughter.
He could smell the bitterness a mile away.

doesnât want to be apart from her son. I hope they can sit with me, so
Iâm sorry, but you have to sit somewhere else.â
Bella did not want to be next to him anyway, and now she had an
-TICALL
excuse to shoo him away. âI have given it some thought, and I donât
want anybody else to leave. Itâs best for you to give up your seat.â
Christopher held his mother and pushed his glasses up his nose
bridge, smiling as he knew he had won.
âNo, I wonât.â Justin frowned, determined to stick his butt where it
should be.
âAlright. So you wonât leave, huh? Iâll go to Grandpa Nigelâs table
then.â Bella was tempted to punch the bastard right there and then.
Justin panicked. There was no point in resisting if Bella was to leave,
so he tried to get up.
âBella.â
Asher stood up and said with a faint smile, âMr. Salvador is a guest Donât put him through the hassle. Iâll
join Dad at his table. Donât ge
worked up over something so small.â
He then left, and an extra seat became available.
Christopher grimaced.
He knew the reason behind Asherâs actions, which was why he was
dissatisfied.
Justin was relieved that this worked in his favor.
Given a chance, Justin would like to thank his future brother-in-law.
