Ryan was left speechless, his mouth hanging open for a while before
he could gather himself.
âJustin, have you ever realized that you actually tend to enjoy being
controlled? You seem perfectly suited to be a submissive husband. If
this continues, youâll probably have to hand over your bank cards. Am
I going to be covering the bills every time we go out then?â
âWasnât it always you who covered the bills when we went out before?â Justin responded casually.
Ryan fell silent, realizing the truth of Justinâs words.
It was true.
Justin was quite a homebody. Apart from work, working out, and
boxing, Justin had no other hobbies. From what Justin remembere
it was always Ryan generously footing the bill for him, arranging
drivers and bodyguards to pick him up from Salvadorâs residence to
hang out. Rarely did he see Justin taking the initiative to plan
anything.
But Ryan enjoyed it thoroughly and harbored no resentment.
Although Ryan lost his father at a young age, he knew that the love
his family gave him was more than enough. In contrast, it seemed like Justin had everything and yet
nothing at all.
Therefore, he wanted to bring him as much happiness as possible,
even if most of it was fleeting. He did not want Justin to continue
living in the shadows.
âYou know, Ryan, I actually enjoy being taken care of by Bella.â
Justinâs peach blossom eyes squinted slightly, his lips forming a gentle smile. âIt shows that she
genuinely cares about me and that I hold a place in her heart. I almost wish sheâd handcuff us
together all
day so I could be with her every day. For Bella, Iâm willing to give up my freedom for life.â
âWoah, hold up, bro. Thatâs some straight-up creepy talk!â Ryan
rubbed his arm repeatedly, feeling goosebumps forming.
âYouâve always disliked being controlled. Youâre naturally rebellious, so, of course, you wouldnât
understand how I feel.â
Justinâs smile grew wider as he mocked Ryan. âYouâre lucky to have chosen my sister. Carrie is a
gentle and timid person. She wouldnât dare control you, let alone bear to. Other than Carrie, no one
else
could put up with you.â
âHah! The truth is, women out there like men like me. I could bag a few of them in a year!â Ryan
grumbled defiantly.
âOh, so youâre proud of that?â The manâs dark eyes swept coldly
across his face.
Ryan took a sharp breath, lowering his brows humbly. âNo, no⦠dear brother-in-law, I wouldnât
dare.â
My
âLet me give you a heads up. If you dare to be unfaithful to Carrie or even slightly mistreat her, Bella
and I wonât let you off easily.â
Ryan immediately raised three fingers. âI, Ryan Hoffman, swear to God that I will cherish Carrie
forever! Iâll only be with her this lifetime, or else, may I be struck by lightning, may the Hoffman
family go
bankrupt, and Iâll resort to begging for food on the streets!â
Noticing Justinâs silence, he quickly added, âIâll get a vasectomy done
when we get back!â
Only then did Justin speak slowly. âOkay, Iâll ask Bella about it. She
knows a lot of doctors.â
Ryan could not help but pout, feeling like crying.
Justin turned away, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
The two stood in silence for a moment. When Justinâs troubled
expression eased a bit, Ryan could not resist asking, âWhatâs up with
your dad? Why does he suddenly want to visit your mother?â
âI donât know. Who knows what bizarre ideas heâs got?â
A surge of anger welled up in Justinâs heart, his jaw tightening with
tension. âItâs been twenty years. He never once mentioned my mother,
as if she never existed. And now, suddenly, he thought of her and
talked about how he regretted treating her badly. Belated affection is
cheaper than grass!â
Ryan fell silent before picking up a cigarette, teasing, âAlthough youâre
far more outstanding than your old man, more manly and responsible, but about belated affection
being cheaper than grass⦠Well, youâre
just like him. Like father, like son.â
Justinâs expression darkened abruptly.
Damn, what a great buddy! Always poking at where it hurts the most!
âYeah, I know I messed up big time in the past, I know I let down a good woman. Thatâs why Iâve
been trying to make up for Bella all this
time. For her, Iâm willing to give my all, even my life.â
Justin closed his eyes. The vivid image of his motherâs leap flashed
in his head, accompanied by a sudden surge of pain in his head.
