Chapter 573
The group followed Nigel back to Crescent Bay.
Nigel’s affection was hard to say no to. On the way there, he held
Justin’s hand with his left hand, while he held onto Bella with his right,
his grip not loosening one bit.
Not only that, Nigel spent the journey cursing Gregory. After he was
done with Gregory, he continued to curse Shannon. He did not even
repeat a single curse word.
Bella worried he would tire himself out.
Once he was done cussing out that couple, he started fussing over
Justin and even pretended to casually put Justin’s hand over Bella’s.
Justin’s heart fluttered as he gazed at Bella gently with a small smile
over his grandfather’s head.
Bella was aware of his burning gaze, but she pursed her lips slight
and chose to ignore it.
Justin felt anxious when he saw her remain unmoved and could not

stop himself from curling his fingers to try to hold her hand.
Suddenly, the warmth under his palm vanished. Bella had retracted
her hand.
He looked up and happened to meet Bella’s warning gaze squarely.
She glared at him, frowning slightly. Her fierce expression made her
look like she was about to eat him alive.

Alright, alright. He still could not hold her hand.
But the very fact that she appeared before him tonight already
satisfied him. He dared not wish for more.
“Justin, you have to thank Anna for tonight. If it weren’t for her
concern about you and telling me in time that you were getting a beating from your old man, I wouldn’t
have been able to make it there
so quickly!”
Nigel spoke meaningfully, giving his grandson a look. “It’s obvious that Anna cares about you. Hurry up
and thank her for saving your life, you rascal!”
“Thank you, Bella.” Justin’s gaze was tender, and his tone was soft and gentle.
It was as if Bella was burned by his gaze. She shivered undetectably
and said indifferently, “You shouldn’t thank me, Mr. Salvador. You
should thank Carrie instead.”
Both the old man and his grandson were surprised. “Carrie?”
“Yes. It was Carrie who called me and told me everything. Then I told
Grandpa Nigel.”
Bella’s gaze turned cold once more. “I was just conveying the message, so please don’t overthink it,
Mr. Salvador.”
“The fact that you told Grandpa about it means you still have a little
bit of concern for me.” Justin was shameless. It was fine if she did
not want to admit it. He would just have to cling to her instead.
Bella sneered, “Think whatever you like.”

“Oh, so that was the case…”
Nigel could not help but sigh. “That youngest granddaughter of mine is a kindhearted child. Although
she didn’t grow up with me, fortunately, she hasn’t been corrupted by that wicked Shannon. Bethany,

anything from her mother, who seems respectable on the surface but is rotten on the inside. She even
landed herself in jail. I don’t have much black hair left in the first place, but she’s going to make my hair
all white from worry at
this rate!”
“Carrie’s a good kid. I was closest to her when I was living in Tideview Manor, and she was always very
good to me.”
Bella recalled her memories of Carrie and the three years she spent married to Justin. She originally
thought her heart would not hurt anymore, but it twinged in pain again, though her expression remained
nonchalant. “I’d go so far as to say that if I hadn’t had Carrie’s company back then, I don’t think I would
have lasted that
long.”
Nigel understood her unsaid meaning and felt his heart ache for Bella. He turned to glare at Justin.
Justin’s eyes instantly dulled as his stomach twisted into knots, and
his heart was filled with remorse and pain.
“Grandpa Nigel, there’s something I want to discuss with you, but I don’t know if I should say it. If it’s
inappropriate and offensive, please pretend that I never said it.” Bella spoke with some hesitation.
“It’s fine. Whatever you say won’t be offensive.” Justin hurriedly
