Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Chapter 856

It was as if Cecily was nothing more than trash to Justin.

Cecily was utterly disoriented. She was kneeling on the ground, even forgetting to stand up.

No despair exists without comparison.

In fact, she had never felt worse.

“Yes, Ms. Thompson? Do you need something?” Justin approached

Bella, his gaze piercing and his voice rough.

“Yeah. Can we speak in private?” Bella’s eyes remained calm. She did

not raise her voice, but it was audible.

Justin agreed without hesitation. “Sure.”

Amidst the onlookers’ gazes, the two big shots left the banquet hall.

Behind them were only murmurs of astonishment, echoing one af

another.

They were truly a perfect match, so well-matched that it filled othe

with envy.

Bella and Justin made their way to the hotel’s back garden.

The cool night air gently tousled Bella’s dark hair, creating a

picturesque scene.

Their silence seemed to carry a thousand unspoken words, yet they

understood each other without saying a word.

Even their silence was filled with mutual understanding, evoking a

sense of melancholy.

“I wasn’t expecting you to be here tonight. You even came with a new companion.” Justin broke the silence, his words still as sharp as ever. “I thought you’d be here with Mr. Iverson.”

“What? Are you disappointed that I didn’t show up with Chris?” Bella retorted, “Well, I didn’t expect to see you so close with my cousin either. The way you two were interacting earlier seemed quite sweet. Did my sudden appearance ruin your little moment with her?”

She had a real knack for sharp-tongued remarks.

Justin felt a lump in his throat, struggling with a mix of emotions. His handsome face flushed red, then paled.

“Did you call me out here for this?” Justin asked coldly, “We’ve been divorced for quite some time already. Are you still concerned about

the women I associate with?”

Bella smirked, shaking her finger dismissively. “Justin, don’t think to highly of yourself. Whoever you choose to associate with is none o my concern. But if you’re actually interested in Cecily, perhaps IBelongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

could help you out there. After all, she’s my cousin. Well, you never know. We might even end up being in-laws someday.”

With clenched fists, Justin felt a surge of heat rising within him.

No one could ever provoke him like Bella did.

Only Bella managed to stir up this part of him.

“But remember, Cecily is still part of the Thompson family. It’s not appropriate for her to just be your mistress. So, why don’t you think it over? Instead of wavering between Ms. Hoffman and Cecily, why

don’t you make a choice and stick with it?”

Her words could not have been harsher.

Justin felt a twist in his heart, his eyes fuming with anger as he pressed Bella firmly against the tree trunk, his arm supporting him as he leaned in. He glared down at her with intense, dark eyes that were

swirling with turbulent emotions.

Bella’s throat felt dry, and her lips were tightly pressed together.

She could even feel the subtle tremors of Justin’s muscles beneath

his dark suit, but she dared not meet his gaze.

“Bella, if you’ve chosen to leave me, you should’ve stayed away from

1. Why do you keep coming back to me?”

“Justin…”

Justin’s pale lips moved closer to Bella’s. His lowered gaze turn

hazy. “I may have loved you, but that doesn’t mean you can tramp

on my dignity over and over again!”
