Carrie could not close the door fast enough to block Drew out. Drew stuck his hand on the door frame.
Try as she may, Carrie could not shut the door.
Drew sighed and smiled wryly with a frown as his once-close sister feared and resisted him.
“Don’t hide away from me, Bella. I’m not here to bring you home.”
Justin and Bella were surprised. “Huh? Drew…”
“It has never been my intention to break you up.”
Drew looked at the couple, who went through a lot. Fate seemed to have other things in mind. He felt bad. “I only sought you to make sure you were safe and sound. Don’t be scared.”
His words hit a nerve in Bella.
Feeling a lump in his throat, Justin pursed his lips.
He did not expect that from Drew.
Someone in Bella’s family was willing to take his side and believe him.
“Drew!”
Bella went up and hugged Drew, and the latter embraced her warmly and ran his fingers along her hair. “You’re a silly girl. You jumped from the fifth floor just to get out. If anything were to happen to you, how are we supposed to live? We’ll be monks and dedicate our lives to God.”
“What? Bella…” Justin froze in shock, his eyes widening.
“I’m fine, aren’t I? It’s just five floors down.” Bella wiped her snot on Drew’s black shirt.
“I know you. No one can stop you from doing what you want. You even jumped off the plane in the South Island the last time.” Drew wiped her snot with his tie.
There was only one woman Drew would spoil.
“Can you cut the crap?”
Bella sniffled. “Why would you become a monk if I were gone? It makes sense if Justin becomes one.”
Ryan nervously arrived on the scene.
