Ralph’s casual words immediately raised the tension between him and Ryan.
Ryan’s eyes widened, and the nerves in his body tensed.
Territorial and protective? Was Ralph referring to Carrie? Why did Ralph suddenly refer to him with that?!
Ryan had only left for a short time, yet there had already been a thief in his home, trying to steal from him?!
“Ralph? You haven’t left yet?”
Just as the two men were stuck in a deadlock, Bella and Justin walked over after hearing the commotion.
Bella sharply noticed that the two men seemed to be confronting each other, and her gaze turned suspicious.
“Oh, I’m not quite sure how to open this door. Luckily, Mr. Hoffman was back and opened it for me. I will leave now.”
Ralph turned back and smiled brightly at Bella, as if nothing had happened. “Bella, after I’m done with work, let me bring you out for a trip. You shouldn’t just spend your time with one guy. It’ll be boring!”
Justin was speechless.
Although he knew it was a joke and that Ralph was Bella’s brother, Justin still could not help but feel jealous.
After Ralph left, Ryan still had not calmed his emotions. Warning bells were ringing in his mind.
He felt that Ralph had met Carrie while he was not home, and they had interacted for a while.
“Ryan, what’s wrong? You don’t look good,” Justin asked worriedly.
“Nothing.” Ryan took a deep breath.
“Sorry. I asked Ralph to send some information to me without informing you in advance.”
Bella was sharp and perceptive, immediately sensing what Ryan was bothered about, and she apologized to him. “You are like brothers with Justin, but this is still your home with Carrie. I am merely crashing here. It was improper for me to let an outsider in. I won’t let it happen again.”
Ryan’s jaw nearly dropped from the shock, but he still did not forget to tease Justin. “Chairman Thompson has guts, daring to put anything in his mouth. What if he got food poisoning?”
Justin was speechless as he gritted his teeth. “Did you have dinner at the garbage dump? What a foul mouth.”
“My father’s attitude toward Justin isn’t great, but at least he’s not as hostile. He now knows that we’re living together, so there’s nothing to hide. We’ll pack up and return to live in my villa.” Bella’s eyes curved sweetly, eagerly wanting to enjoy her time alone with Justin.
“How about tonight?” Justin understood her, softly whispering in her ears.
“Aren’t you tired after cooking all night? I’m exhausted. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.” Bella yawned.
Justin’s hands touched her waist restlessly. “Then tonight, I’ll do the moving. You stay put.”
Although he was whispering, Ryan could hear him clearly.
Fuck… When did this man become such a flirt?!
