The city was illuminated by the night lights. After Bella and Justin met up with Steven, they rushed back to Savrow at top speed.
On the way, Steven kept trying to call Amelia, but in the end, her phone was turned off instead.
“Amelia… Why won’t you pick up my call? Amelia!” Steven was frantic, murmuring to himself in a daze.
“Steven, don’t be nervous.”
Justin looked at Steven’s reddened eyes through the rearview mirror, saying gently, “I’ve sent Ian to look for her at her campus, and we’ll reach Savrow in half an hour. We’ll drive straight to the Savrow Film Academy.”
Bella gripped the hem of her shirt tightly, her bare forehead already covered with cold sweat. She managed to force out, “Justin, I feel so regretful now. I shouldn’t have lost my temper at Amelia.”
“Bella, don’t say that.”
Justin quickly pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. “Amelia is not such an unreasonable girl. Besides, you grew up together. How could she not understand how much you care about her? She must know you are looking out for her.”
“But Justin… I’m still so scared.”
“Don’t be. I’m here. We’ll find Amelia together.” Justin patted her, feeling a little complicated.
On one hand, he was worried about Amelia, who was suddenly unreachable. On the other hand, he enjoyed the feeling of Bella relying on and needing him, clinging to him softly.
Even though he knew that Bella was more formidable than a few men combined, he still looked forward to her occasionally relying on him, even just for a little.
He could totally be the man behind Bella’s success, quietly supporting her behind the scenes.
Justin did not care about how others would look at him. He only hoped to be useful to her, showing his worth as a man.
To prevent being too eye-catching, the luxury car stopped at the back gate of Savrow Film Academy.
Soon, Ian ran out with a head full of sweat.
“Mr. Salvador, Young Madam! We searched the entire campus and asked the dormitory supervisor. She personally went to check on Amelia’s dorm but didn’t find her.”
Their hearts sank.
