THE DIVORCED HEIRESS’S REVENGE - Season 8 Episode 52

“Bella, is there something wrong?” Christopher asked with genuine

concern as he noticed the change in Bella’s expression.

“I distinctly remember that I have never blocked Justin’s number. Why is he on my blocked list? Bella’s

sharp gaze slowly shifted to

Christopher’s innocent face.

“Bella..”

“Did you do it?” Bella asked bluntly. “Aside from you, I haven’t had any private contact with anyone tonight. Justin told me he couldn’t reach

me all night.”

Christopher clenched his fingers on his knee, a cold gleam flashing

through his gold-rimmed glasses.

“I recalled that my phone only left my side when I went to the

restroom at the restaurant earlier. So, did you block him?” Bella

squinted her almond-shaped eyes.

“Bella, are you doubting me?” Christopher’s eyes remained innoce

and clear.

“I’m only stating facts, not doubting you,” Bella replied bluntly.

Christopher felt a heavy weight on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. “Bella, I admit it was

wrong of me to mess with your

phone. I only did it to avoid Justin ruining our date. I’ve been looking forward to today for so long. It was

selfish of me. I’m sorry.”

He added, “This is the last time. It will never happen again.”

Bella was mentally drained from everything that happened tonight and lacked the energy to argue

further.

“My issues with Justin are my personal matters, and I prefer to keep them private. Even after our

divorce, I haven’t completely cut ties with

him. After all, there might be future business collaborations. As long

as I’m emotionally detached, that’s what matters. Unnecessary

actions only prove that I haven’t moved on from him entirely.”

Christopher, who had been anxious, found a glimmer of hope in her words, “Bella, have you truly

moved on from him?”

Bella nodded slowly.

“That’s great, Bella.” Christopher’s excitement surged through his

body, and his hands trembled with excitement. “Now that you’ve let

go of Justin, can you give me a chance to be with you? I want to

stand by your side, supporting you through thick and thin. I wasn’t

there in your past, but I want to be part of your future.”

“Chris, I’m not ready for a relationship right now,” Bella said in an exhausted voice. “I’m too tired, and

I’m not ready to open myself up to love again. I’m sorry.”

“With me, you just need to allow yourself to be loved.” Christopher gaze intensified as he leaned closer,

his breath growing heavier.” Bella, can we give it a go? Give me a chance to love you.”

Bella hesitated, struggling for words. “Dating isn’t like online shopping, where you can return something

within a week.”.

“You don’t have to do anything. Just let me love and protect you.” Christopher spoke, bracing himself

against the car window.

His eyes were filled with affection that almost overwhelmed Bella. “I’ll always be there for you, no

matter what. If you think I’m worth it, I’ll always be by your side.”

“Chris, thank you for saving me tonight. But please don’t take such

risks in the future.”
