Bella’s tear-streaked face nuzzled against Justin’s chest once more. When she looked up, the man’s sturdy chest muscles beneath his shirt were faintly visible, presenting a seductive sight before her.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she sniffled a few times, rubbing her palms against the areas where her tears had dampened his shirt.
Her adorable demeanor stirred warmth in Justin’s heart and set it abuzz.
But tonight, he decided he would not do anything with her. He wished for her to find solace in his embrace and rest peacefully.
“You haven’t eaten anything all night, have you? You must be hungry. Let me whip up something for you,” Justin said tenderly, wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.
“Mmm… But you haven’t eaten either. Let me do it. You always take a long time to cook. We’ll end up having a midnight feast if you do it,” Bella sniffed, her nose reddened from crying.
Justin chuckled softly. “I’ll ask Wilma to prepare something for us then.”
“It’s late. Just let me take care of it.”
“In that case, let’s do it together.”
Bella’s heart warmed at his suggestion. “Alright, let’s do it together.”
…
With the skilled chef’s assistance, Justin could only lend a hand. Meanwhile, Bella swiftly whipped up a large pot of mac and cheese.
It was a truly substantial amount.
It seemed that Bella was using her appetite to channel her anger.
She was indeed furious.
The two of them managed to finish the pot of mac and cheese.
Justin typically ate very little at night and did not have the habit of having midnight snacks. But for her, he was willing to break the rules he had adhered to for over a decade.
“Phew… I feel much better now.” Bella squinted her eyes as she slumped on the sofa, unable to get up anymore.
The two of them sat cuddled together in the serene living room, savoring this rare moment of tranquility in the day.
“Justin.” Bella reached up and scratched the man’s chin.
“Hmm?” Justin responded softly. He then grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest.
