The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge novel Chapter 1390

When Wyatt suggested Justin stay the night, everyone suddenly stopped and fell silent.

Bella’s beautiful eyes grew wide with shock, and her mouth hung open in disbelief as she stared at her father.

“W-What did you just say?”

Justin’s chest heaved with a tremor. His pupils contracted as he stared intently at Wyatt’s distinguished and authoritative face. His breath caught, and his heart raced.

“If you head back now, you’ll probably get home around midnight, right? If you have nothing urgent tomorrow, just stay here tonight,” Wyatt said, lowering his gaze and then coughing lightly.

This time, Justin heard it clearly. Bella and everyone else also heard it.

The tremendous surprise overwhelmed Justin, making his heart race wildly. His black eyes filled with tears as he choked with emotion. He bowed deeply to Wyatt.

“Thank you… Chairman Thompson, for taking me in.”

Justin was such an imposing man and a leading figure in Savrow’s top financial group. However, at this moment, they were incredibly humble.

Feeling a deep ache in her heart at the sight of his humility, Bella quickly stepped forward to help him up.

“What are you doing? It’s just for one night… It’s not that big of a deal.”

“It is, Bella.”

Justin’s eyes turned red, with tears subtly sparkling in them. His heart filled with overwhelming emotions. “I’m so happy... Nothing in my life has ever made me feel as happy and fulfilled as I do at this moment.”

To others, it might just be a simple overnight stay.

But for Justin, it represented a beacon of new beginnings.

Wyatt gave Justin a meaningful glance before stepping into the villa first.

“Steve, has Dad forgiven Justin? Does he mean that he accepted him?!” Amelia excitedly whispered into Steve’s ear while clutching his arm.

“I hope this is a sign of his acceptance, too.”

Steven gazed tenderly at Amelia, gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “Any progress over yesterday is progress.”

Feeling touched, Bella cradled Justin’s chiseled face in her hands and kissed him passionately, oblivious to those around them.

Initially, Justin was so shy that his body stiffened. But soon, he could not help but wrap his arms around her delicate waist, returning her fervent kisses, reluctant to part.

The elders found it awkward to watch the intimate moment, their cheeks flushing as they turned away with a laugh and left the scene.

Steven tightened his grip on Amelia’s waist. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he hurriedly led his beloved toward the door.

Indeed, it would. The temptation was significant, since his delightful wife resided on the same floor.

Tonight, Chairman Thompson made an exception to welcome him. So Justin knew he needed to behave properly. If he were to overstep his boundaries and climb into Bella’s bed at this moment, he might not live to see the next sunrise.

Leaning against the headboard, Justin worked on urgent business matters on his laptop, as relayed by Ian.

Slowly, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep, seated on the bed.

Sometime later, a gentle breeze and a ticklish sensation roused him.

Despite his deep sleep, years of military training kicked in, instantly honing his alertness and sensitivity.

His eyes opened instantly, shining cold and alert like a lion stirred from slumber.

“Ah!”

A soft cry echoed in the dark.

In the next moment, Bella, who had lost her balance, suddenly tipped backward, replacing the laptop on his lap.

Justin’s sleepiness vanished in a split second. He took a deep breath and swiftly caught her delicate waist, easily lifting her. Bella’s tender and sweet-smelling body then collided with his warm chest.
