Chapter 140
The song lyrics that matched this scene went like this: “Love is a cold wind. As it blows away from you, as you watch it go, it hurts to know.”
Justin stood there for a long time. He had no problems standing in the cold wind for hours because he used to stand for a whole day when he was in the army. So, just a few hours was nothing to him.
However, his heart was uneasy.
He was afraid that Anna would suddenly change her mind and refuse to come out to see him. If so, what should he do? Should he barge in? But this was the Thompson family’s residence.
Moreover, what excuse did he have to knock on the Thompson family’s door?
Justin could not find a valid reason.
His long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his heart was stuffy. He took out the last cigarette from the cigarette box.
Just as he was lighting up the cigarette, he heard the clicking of high heels against the pavement approaching him.
“Justin.”
Justin’s heart suddenly raced. He raised his eyes and saw his expressionless ex-wife standing in front of him. The cigarette in his mouth shook, and the ashes fell.
Bella lowered her eyes and quickly glanced at Justin’s feet.
She noticed the cigarette butts all over the floor and could not help but frown. “Didn’t you quit smoking? What are you doing?”
“I was waiting for too long.”
Justin dropped the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, looking at her straight in the eye.
“Hah! Are you trying to blame me again? Go ahead, then. Anyway, you like blaming people without reason.” Bella mocked him.
“Anna.” Justin clenched his fists. His voice was hoarse from smoking too much.
“I’m here to see you. Since you’ve achieved your goal, I hope you keep your word, Mr. Salvador. Stop finding fault with my brother. I have to go back inside. Also, please pick up the cigarette butts when you leave. Don’t taint the civilized city of Hatchbay with your presence. Goodbye.”
Bella’s beautiful face was glum. She turned to leave after she finished speaking.
Ian shuddered. He was frightened by such a ruthless and intimidating young madam.
In his impression, the young madam was a gentle and beautiful woman. Whenever she saw Mr. Salvador, she smiled brightly. Her enthusiasm made her seem like a warm beam of sunlight.
However, at this moment, Mr. Salvador did not deserve her warmth.
Ian thought, ‘What on earth did Mr. Salvador do to turn such a nice woman into such a resentful person?’
