The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge



Justin was stunned.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

He picked up on Bella's little mood the moment she walked through the door.

With her question throwing him for the loop, Justin wrapped his arms around Bella's waist, his muscles bulging. He rubbed his hand on her belly.

"What happened, Bella? Why do you ask?"

"Justin, I..." Bella looked distressed.

"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. Even though we are a couple, you're not obliged to."

Struck by a thought, Justin held her tighter and rested his chin on her shoulder for a snuggle. "My Bella will always be a highly independent and confident woman. Even though we're a couple, you can still have your little secrets. I won't interfere in any way." Justin's understanding only made Bella tear up and jump into his arms to whimper. She would not trust anybody else's concern for her, but she had complete faith in Justin. Without Justin to share her deepest thoughts with, she might feel so overwhelmed with emotions.

"Don't cry, Bella." Justin consoled her huskily.

He frantically patted her trembling back, but he held back from asking questions.

"I saw a document in Edward's study, Justin. The papers talked about a spy named Nadia Brown who fled over thirty years ago. The woman's age and experience reminded me of my mother."

Bella's tear-stained face buried in Justin's chest, soaking his white shirt and emotions, "I'm afraid that Nadia might just be my mother."

Justin's eyes bulged as he tightened his grip around her waist.

Bella quivered, and her voice choked with sobs.

"Dad has always been evasive about Mom. Aunt Mila said that Cameron found Mom by the beach. Everything seems to be mysteriously connected to Mom in some way. Maybe... She's really..."

"What do you plan to do if the woman is your mother, Bella?" Justin leaned into her ear and spoke huskily. His voice was reassuring.

"I want the truth."

Bella picked her head up and met Justin's deep eyes.

Still, she said stubbornly, "I want to know why the captain of the Sentania Royal Special Force would betray the country and be sentenced to death."

As his heart sank, Justin held her tight and said, "Alright. Once we deal with Christopher, I will investigate the truth with you."

"There's one more thing."

Justin looked puzzled. "What?"

"Once this is over, shouldn't you change the form of address like Arnold?" Bella pursed her luscious lips and blushed.

Overwhelmed with emotions, Justin could not stop the tears in his eyes and the tremor in his lips.

He locked fingers with Bella and said tearfully, "Bella, thank you for waiting for me. Thank you for giving me another chance."

In the end, the pair enjoyed a nice bath together.

Exhausted from the travel and intense days of planning, Bella fell asleep on Justin's chest before the latter could romance her in the bath.
