Grace nodded lightly, with her expression unchanged.
Charlie was still as detached as usual.
"I still have to say sorry for having caused so much trouble to you in the past." Bella bent over and apologized.
"It's doesn't matter." Grace uttered, as she felt that Bella was sincere.
"I'm very happy that you are willing to speak to me." Bella smiled, feeling relaxed.
At this moment, a man yelled, "Bella."
Grace, Charlie and Bella all turned around and saw a man walking over. The man was average in appearance, but he was very strong.
He walked to Bella’s side, with delicate bags in his hand, inside which were women's clothes. Obviously, the relationship between the man and Bella was very close. He asked Bella, "Who is she?"
"Bella worked with me in the past. Who are you?" Grace answered on behalf of Bella.
Then Bella reacted and introduced the man. "This is my fiance. We are getting married in a month, so we came to buy wedding outfits today."
Grace’s eyes widened slightly, as she felt surprised.
Bella smiled and said, "We'll leave now. Goodbye."
Then Bella and her fiance walked towards the elevator. Shrugging her shoulders,
Grace walked forward with Charlie.
Having walked several steps forward, Bella turned her head back secretly and quietly stared at Grace and Charlie. Finally, her eyes were fixed on Charlie.
Bella hadn't seen Charlie for a long time. When she saw him this time, she felt that Charlie had changed. Compared with before, he was less dull, less cold, and gentler. He seemed to be reborn.
Bella knew her fiance on a blind date, and she had a good impression of him.
Although the man was not very handsome and came from an ordinary family, he treated Bella well and cherished her.
Bella knew that Charlie fulfilled all her fantasies about men. But fantasies were only fantasies, and Charlie could not be her boyfriend.
She no longer fancied being with Prince Charming and accepted reality, as there were few people like Charlie, who had a charming appearance, a wealthy family and virtues.
And Charlie was not her best choice, as he didn’t love her at all.
Even if Bella managed to marry Charlie, she was unable to make Charlie love her.
Besides, if a man was so rich, he must be surrounded by numerous beautiful women. Bella was self-aware that her appearance and family background were average. So, there was a slim chance that she would be favored by a rich man.
This was the reality. She was not that competitive, and she must accept reality.
Bella intended to view Charlie as her first love in her heart and leave him behind, as
she wanted to live a happy life in the future.
As if aware that she was absent-minded, the man lowered his head, with a soft expression on his face. "What's the matter? Are you not satisfied with the clothes we bought? How about shopping again?"
"No, I'm very satisfied. Now I'm going to buy you a suit. Let's go. Actually, I'm thinking about what we will have for lunch.
