Chapter 601
Christopher was insatiable by nature, rarely feeling gratified by anything in the world.
Making Justin pay was one of the unlikely things that pleased him.
“Mr. Iverson, what brings you here?” Snapping out of her thoughts, Bella asked curiously.
“I’ve moved here. I’m living in the villa behind yours.” Christopher stared at her affectionately.
“What?” Bella was shocked.
Justin’s heart dropped as he had a bad feeling.
“We’re neighbors now, Bella.” While talking, Christopher tilted his head and smiled in a youthful and gentle manner. He extended his right hand to her. “Hello, neighbor. I hope we can get along.”
Though baffled, Bella remained unruffled and politely shook Christopher’s hand.
Christopher managed to mercilessly and cleanly cut off Justin, the ex- husband who once was most intimate with Bella.
“Bella, do you want to visit my new home?”
Like Bella, Christopher was an opportunist. He extended an invitation to her. “I bought a lot of groceries, including some fresh salmon and crayfish. They’re all your favorites. I’ll cook for you.”
His words were filled with love.
Christopher was considerate, attentive, and a gentleman. He was the boyfriend of every woman’s dreams.
“I’ll need to take a rain check. We live in the same neighborhood, so
we’ll run into each other more frequently. We have plenty of time in
the future. Thank you for the offer, though, Mr. Iverson.” Bella was
flustered and not in the right mind for a housewarming session.
“My mother will be at my place tonight.”
Christopher’s eyes fixated on Bella as he invited her earnestly once.
more. “I told her that I’d invite you over to the house for dinner. She
was excited and said that it had been years since she last saw you. She wanted to meet Chairman Thompson’s favorite daughter.”
Bella was taken aback. “Is Mrs. Iverson back from Sentania?”
“Yeah. I brought my mother back.” Christopher grinned with relief.
“That’s great.”
Justin was alarmed.
However, he could not add a word to their conversation. All he could
do was stand there and do nothing.
Justin, who sat on top of the business world, had such moments of
desperation too.
He had become a fool for his little lady.
“You know my mother, Bella. She rarely has moments when she’s
conscious and herself.”
The sadness in Christopher’s eyes tugged on Bella’s heartstrings. “I
hope you can meet her when she’s of sound mind. It makes the
encounter meaningful. Can I be abrupt and ask you for this small
favor?”
The Iversons and the Thompsons went way back. Plus, Bella did not
really have anything planned tonight anyway. She did not have a
reason to refuse.
“Alright then. Sorry to trouble you for dinner, Mr. Iverson.”
Fueled with rage, Justin clenched his fists.
“Not at all. I want to thank you for accepting my invitation, Bella.”
With joy apparent on his face, Christopher gestured for Bella to come
along with him.
They then walked right past Justin.
