Sasha contemplated for a while before uttering in shock, “I find

Wyatt’s attitude strange, though. Didn’t he tell us before that he

wasn’t optimistic about the Iverson boys? What changed his mind.

about Christopher?”

Mila frowned.

It appeared to the ladies that Christopher could be rather

manipulative.

Meanwhile, Bella kept her eyes outside the car window. She was not

in the mood for small talk with Christopher.

Christopher sat quietly next to her, his eyes never once shifting away

from her.

He was happy and content just watching over her.

“Chris, thank you for keeping me company while I was in the h

Without looking at Christopher, Bella said in a soft tone, “You mu

tired. You should get home and have a good rest. I could use so

time alone.”

“Are you avoiding me, Bella?” Christopher furrowed his brows, hist heart sinking.

“I don’t know what you said to my dad, Chris, but if you still want us to stay friends, I hope this stops

now.”

Bella stared at him coldly. “Justin and I are over. Nothing is going to happen between us either.”

“You got the wrong idea, Bella. I said nothing to your father. I-”

Bella closed her and shook her head. “You fell for the person I

was in the past. It has been 15 years. I’m no longer the light in your darkness. There is nothing I can do

for you. Our good time as kids

brought us together again, Chris. I cherish our friendship, so I hope

you won’t ruin it. If you refuse to take my advice, the only thing I cant do is stop meeting you.”

Bella tried to break it to Christopher as gently as she could.

Still, the words cut through Christopher like a knife.

He heaved heavily as the color washed off his face. Christopher clenched his fists. ‘I love you so much,

Bella. But you hurt me so badly. How can you be so cruel?’

Amid the tension, Bella’s phone vibrated.

She looked at the mobile screen. Taken aback that Linny was the

caller, Bella took the call.

“What’s the matter?” Bella spoke in hushed tones since she was not

alone.

“Ms. Thompson, are you free tonight? I need to see you.”

Linny murmured in distress,” I have something important to tell you, but I’m at the Salvadors’ residence.

I can’t talk since there are too

many eyes around.”

Anxious, Bella glanced at her watch. “I’ll go to you tonight. We’ll talk later.”

Christopher quietly paid close attention to Bella.

He could barely catch what Bella said as the latter kept her voice

down.

“No, no. I’ll go to you instead. Don’t come to me.”

Linny panicked, her voice shaking. “Ill go to you. Just give me a place, and I’ll meet you there.”

“Okay. I’ll text you in a bit.”

Aware of Linny’s precarious predicament, Bella kept the conversation short and quickly hung up.

Christopher asked with concern, “Is everything okay, Bella? Do you need my help?”

“No,” Bella snapped back.

Christopher was surprised. His eyes dimmed with frustration.

Despite his efforts, he could never get close to her.

Bella always built walls around herself, and she never let him into her

heart.

She took a deep breath and put her hand over her forehead. “I’m sorry, Chris. I don’t need the ride to
