Chapter 98
Justin responded, walked to Bella, and glanced at her blankly.
He saw two streaks of tears on her little face that looked like the morning dew on flowers.
She looked so beautiful and pitiful at the same time.
Bella felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and a teardrop
fell from her long eyelashes.
Justin was shaken. His chest heaved as Anna tried to blink away her tears.
“You punk! Hurry up and coax your wife!” Nigel urged angrily.
“Why me? She didn’t cry because of me.” Justin frowned in confusion.
Nigel’s eyes widened in anger. “Because Anna is your wife! Do you want an old man like
me to help you coax your wife?! Are you stupid?!”
“Grandpa, Justin and I are divorced. I’m not…”
“It doesn’t matter! An ex-wife is still a wife in my book. He hasn’t done a single good thing
for you in the past three years. He at least owes you an apology!”
Nigel’s face darkened when he heard the word “divorce”. His heart ached even more, as if
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit were his own divorce. “You bastard! If you don’t coax Anna today, don’t call me
Grandpa!”
Justin pursed his thin lips and whispered, “I’m sorry.”
Bella opened her red eyes. Her heart was shaking.
In her memory, this was the first time Justin had apologized to her.
It was a pity that he was not at all sincere.
“Bow in apology!” Nigel said.
“Is that necessary?” Justin’s eyebrows twitched in surprise.
“I’m being kind enough to not make you kneel on broken glass just like I did when I
apologized to your grandma. You must show your sincerity! Anna is my heart and soul. I
won’t allow you to treat her so lightly. Hurry up!”
Justin was really cornered by his grandfather. He lowered his eyes and took half a step
back. Then he
put his hands on his chest and bowed deeply to Bella.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Brown. Please accept my sincere apology.”
This scene was like a scene in a TV show that made Nigel’s lips curl up in excitement.
Was this what “shipping” a couple felt like?
Bella’s cheeks turned red. She gradually stopped sobbing. Seeing Justin’s polite and
serious
expression, she could not help but snicker in her heart.
She was secretly glad to make Justin bow his head to her, whether he meant it or not.
Just as Justin was about to stand up, Nigel gave another order. “Keep this posture until
Anna tells you to get up. If not, don’t you dare straighten your back!”
However, a few seconds passed, and Bella did not respond.
Justin thought, ‘This woman is clearly doing this on purpose!’
It was not until Bella saw the veins on Justin’s forehead bulging that she sniffled and said
in a soft voice, “Grandpa, this isn’t Justin’s fault to begin with. Don’t embarrass him.”
Justin just felt humiliated.
‘Anna, you really know how to take advantage of me and behave so obediently in front of
Grandpa!’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, he felt less angry when he noticed her swollen and red almond eyes.
When it was dinner time, Bella pushed Nigel to the dining hall while Justin walked in the
back. The three of them arrived at the table full of delicacies.
Nigel had prepared all of this for Bella.
However, as soon as they sat down, Ian hurried in with a complicated expression. He
whispered in Justin’s ear.
“Say it openly if you have anything to say.”
Nigel hated people whispering in front of him, so he said with a stern expression, “We’re
all family here, so there’s no need to hide anything from each other, especially at my
dining table.”
“Oh, um…” Ian looked at Justin with a troubled expression.
“Just say it,” Justin ordered with a calm expression.
“Yes, sir.”
Ian took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Just now… I received a call from Madam
Shannon. She heard that you were dining with Old Master Nigel and didn’t dare disturb
you, so she contacted me first and asked me to relay a message to you…”
“Hmph! At least that woman is self-aware!” Nigel disliked Shannon.
“Madam Shannon said that Ms. Gold has been diagnosed with severe depression.”
