Chapter 546
On the way back, Bella rested her head on Asher’s shoulder, feeling sleepy. In reality, she was curious about what Declan had said to
Justin.
She decided against it after some consideration. Whatever was said.
was most likely not pleasant.
Declan may seem gentle, but his words could be even sharper and
more brutal than hers. She didn’t want to hear what he said about
Justin.
It was not out of pity for that jerk. Rather, it would be extremely disheartening to witness the person she once loved with all her heart.
getting belittled by the person closest to her.
“Are you asleep, Bella?” Asher suddenly asked in a gentle voice.
“No, Ash. Do you want to talk about something?” Bella blinked in
surprise.
“Bella, have you noticed that Steven and Amelia are a little strange
lately?” Asher asked with a faint smile. “I might be mistaken, but I always get the impression that there is a subtle tension between
them.”
“What do you mean by ‘a subtle tension”?”
Bella’s jaw almost dropped as she stared at her brother, her eyes wide. and watery. “Have you had too much to drink, Ash? Are you joking?”
“I never make jokes about romantic relationships. Didn’t you notice
that their faces turned red and their expressions turned strange wher
Steve supported Amelia? Especially Amelia, the way she looked
Steve… How should I put it? It is exactly like how you used to look at
Justin.”

Although Bella was complaining, in her heart, she was secretly
thinking about Steven and Amelia’s relationship. When did this

experience a different life, I hope you can support Steve.”
“Wow! Steve is actually playing games behind my back! They say he looks like a cute puppy, but how come his character doesn’t match his appearance, huh?” Bella fiercely punched the car window with a delicate fist, gritting her teeth. “Men are all the same! He falls in love
with Amelia right after confessing his deep feelings to me. I only have. one younger sister! If he has any inappropriate thoughts about Amelia, I swear, I will exile him to an African safari as a snack for the

“Did Steve confess to you?” Asher raised an intrigued eyebrow,
slightly surprised.
“Yeah, but I rejected him.” Bella had always been unapologetic in

Bella added, “But how could he suddenly develop an interest in
Amelia? The seamless transition worries me a lot.”
