Chapter 955
Bella understood Justin’s feelings all too well.
During their three years of marriage, there had been a time when she
lived in constant anxiety, fearing that he would neglect her or divorce
her.
After enduring the challenges of love, it was now his turn to
experience them as well.
Bella walked into the room and opened the cake box. The enticing
strawberry cream cake emitted a delicious aroma, making her mouth
water. But for Justin, this cake was less appealing than the woman
standing before him.
In comparison to the cake, he desired to savor her.
Bella skillfully cut two pieces and offered one to Justin. “I never
realized you enjoyed desserts. You’ve never mentioned it before. Y
used to ignore the desserts I made for you. I thought you didn’t
them.”
Justin held the spoon with trembling fingers and devoured the cake
such big bites that his throat hurt.
“It tastes so good, thank you.”
“Take your time. No one is going to take it from you. I can always give
you my portion too,” Bella teased, brushing aside the sadness in his
gaze.
He enjoyed desserts because he had suffered so much as a child.
At that time, even a piece of candy was a luxury for him, not to mention having a cake like this.
Later on, when he returned to the Salvador family and became the much-envied young master, there was nothing he couldn’t have, let
alone a mere cream cake.
That’s just the way people are. They desire the forbidden apple. Once they can have it, they lose their desire for it.
“Will you still make snacks for me in the future?” Justin asked
tentatively, mustering up his courage.
Bella’s heart raced momentarily, but she simply smiled at him without
responding.
He grasped her unspoken message and returned a smile. “It’s fine. I’ll
learn to make them for you.”
“Tomorrow then,” Bella said as she casually skewered a strawberry
on her fork.
Justin responded, “Alright, then tomorrow I’ll make it for you.”
“I said I’d do it. Tomorrow, I’ll go out with Wilma to buy some ingredients, and then I’ll make it for you.” Bella scooped up a spoonf of cream, her delicate eyelashes fluttering and her voice soft.
Justin’s eyes widened with disbelief, shimmering with excitement that was hard to contain. He was happier than a child on New Year’s Day.
“I’ll go with you! I’ll help you make it!’
“Suit yourself.”
Seeing his excitement, Bella couldn’t help but chuckle. In a moment of distraction, a piece of cream she scooped up fell onto her clothes.
