A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1548

Charlie looked down at their hands, frowning.

Bella was tense, though they were in a relationship.

Being stared at by Charlie, Bella blushed with nervousness.

She looked at him and asked, "We're dating. So, that’s normal, isn't it?"

She asked with great care.

Charlie replied, 'Uh-huh.‘

He did not withdraw his hand but let her hold it, looking thoughtful.

Then a smile touched the corners of Bella's mouth.

She rubbed his palm with her fingers, pleased.

His palm was large and warm, and the lines were visible.

Bella indulged in the happiness, and her heart danced with delight.

She had never imagined that she could be so close to him or even touch his hand

She was really enjoying it. The happiness of that moment was something she had never experienced.

Actually, she had been expecting him to hold her hand.

However, Charlie suddenly withdrew his hand away from hers.

Before Bella could react, Charlie had lit a cigarette and started to smoke.

The waiter came in to serve the food and left.

Charlie spoke, "Tuck in. We've got a lot of work to do."

Bella then nodded, but Charlie had begun to enjoy his meal gracefully at this moment.
