Chapter 2324
Justin’s deep, starry eyes held a quiet detachment as he replied coolly, “Thank you for your kind intentions , but there’s no need for that."
Gregory frowned as he tightened his grip on his son’s shoulder. “Justin, if you want to be the Salvador family’s heir, then marriage is an obligation you can’t avoid! The doctors tell me you’re experiencing a lack of emotional capabilities now. Given that, any woman should be more or less the same in your eyes. That includes Bella."
“T’m fine as I am. I don’t need a woman."
Justin furrowed his brows, creating a deep line between them. “Furthermore , even if Ms. Thompson and I have broken up, you shouldn’t lump her in with everyone else.
She was, after all, someone very important to me."
Someone very important . Those words made his frozen heart stir slightly, like something struggling to thaw.
“Justin, could it be that you still haven’t let go of that Thompson girl?” Gregory’s voice grew sharp with displeasure.
Justin’s lips curled into a cool smile. “Dad, this is a private matter, and I have the right to remain silent."
“Justin, as someone who’s been there, let me give you some advice. Choose a wife who is virtuous and one who truly loves you."
From their vantage point, Gregory glanced at the beautiful , refined young women below, each dressed to impress, perfumes mingling in the air.
“Though Bella comes from a privileged family, she’s been spoiled rotten by Wyatt Thompson. She has no sense of boundaries , always meddling in things that get her into trouble , with no way to protect herself! She’s a ticking time bomb around you—not only could she drag you down, but it’s just a matter of time before she causes trouble for the entire Salvador family! How many lives do you have to waste on her?
“Look at those girls down there. Their appearance and backgrounds—they’re hardly inferior to Bella. Most importantly, they admire you, cherish you, and see you as a treasure . They wouldn’t let you endure hardship and would give our family heirs."
Justin’s lips lifted in a faintly mocking smile. “So that’s the reason you married my mother?"
Gregory fell silent.
“Dad, my brain might have been injured , but I haven’t lost my memory. I haven’t forgotten what kind of woman Bella truly is."
He turned away indifferently, his tall and broad frame standing straight. “I’ve already been married once, and I’ve already had a girlfriend. I have no interest in marriage alliances or relationships. I’m afraid I can’t fulfill your request."
Gregory gritted his teeth, releasing a frustrated breath.
Justin had barely taken a few steps when Gregory suddenly called out, “Justin!"
Without turning back, he replied, “If this is still about an arranged marriage, you’d best save your words."
Gregory shook his head in resignation . “No, I wanted to ask you to go to the parking lot to greet your older brother."
