“This is the place, Mr. Salvador, Young Madam. This is Rachel Mead’s home,” Ian said while looking around.
Ian came from an upper-middle-class family. Although he did all the grind for Justin over the years, Ian had never experienced the hard life of ordinary citizens. The absence of bodyguards also put him on edge.
However, Justin got out of the car with composure.
As it had been raining all morning, Justin stepped on a muddy puddle and stained his expensive handmade leather shoe. Still, he did not care.
He looked very much at home.
“Watch your feet, Mr. Salvador!” Ian gave him a heads-up, but it was too late.
“It’s okay,” Justin responded nonchalantly.
Bella was about to get out of the car when her center of gravity suddenly shifted. She exclaimed and hung on to his neck in a panic.
Afraid of dirtying her shoes and pants, Justin carried her in his arms and said tenderly, “Why are you getting worked up? When did I ever drop you?”
“Uh… You could’ve at least given me a warning. That startled me.”
Seeing through him, Bella pounded his chest. “Besides, it’s just a puddle. I had it tough when I was living abroad. I’m not fragile.”
“That’s before. You have me now.” Justin slowly put her down while steadying her waist.
Since Bella was in Justin’s life, he wanted to pour all his love and attention into her.
“Why did you take the long way to get to Rachel’s house first, Ian?”
Bella furrowed her brows in confusion. “The other girl lives closer. We could’ve gone there before heading here since it’s on the way.”
“Um… The girl and her family refuse to meet with you and Mr. Salvador, Young Madam.” Ian sighed.
