Chapter 1037
After a brief internal struggle, Bella decided not to mention anything
about the incident.
Seeing Justin now, filled with guilt and regret toward herself, Bella was glad he felt remorseful for his past actions toward her. However, his repeated attempts to atone, risking his life and giving everything to make up for his past mistakes, meant more than enough to Bella.
She still wanted him to light her life up like a star. Besides, she did not
want to burden him with any more guilt.
This was her subtle way of loving someone.
“Bella, are you okay?” Justin’s voice was laced with concern as he
noticed her pale complexion, his warm hand gently grasping her
shoulder.
“I’m fine.”
Bella looked up, smiling brightly at him. “What could possibly be
wrong? My finger was injured when I was climbing trees as a kid. It’s
nothing serious. Besides, it doesn’t affect my daily life.”
Despite her assurance, Justin still felt deeply concerned, gently
holding her pinky. “You have so many older brothers. How come none
of them took better care of you?”
“My brothers do take good care of me, but no one was able to control
a little troublemaker like me. Hehe!”
Bella pouted playfully, her lips tempting him irresistibly, Unable to

resist the temptation, Justin pecked her lips lightly.
“In the future, you won’t need to trouble your brothers anymore. You have me, and I’ll take care of you and protect you.”
Bella blushed instantly at his words. He watched her sensitive
reaction, and his breath deepened slightly. His throat rolled uneasily as he was captivated by her desire-filled eyes.
“Oh, by the way!”
Bella quickly retrieved a dainty little box from her coat pocket and placed it in Justin’s hand. “Here. A gift from Ash.”
“Asher? For me?” Justin was surprised, feeling deeply touched.
Bella blushed as she nodded gently. “Yes, you were still unconscious then. I thought about it and decided it would be best to give it to you
personally after you wake up.”
She was meticulous by nature, so when it came to giving gifts, s made sure to package them nicely. Hence, she chose a delicate bla
velvet jewelry box.
Justin’s emotions were complex, a bittersweet sensation rising within
him.
It had been a long time since he had received a gift.
Back then, no one remembered these insignificant anniversaries and holidays aside from Bella. No one cared about him this much.
But Justin had been blind to his blessings. He had someone who
loved him wholeheartedly, yet he always regarded Bella as a
nuisance, constantly wanting to rid himself of her and run away from

her.
“Go ahead, open it,” Bella urged, leaning against him.
Justin pursed his lips and carefully opened the box. Upon opening the box, his gaze froze in an instant.
