A smile finally appeared on Calvin’s lips, and he replied to her with the same sentence
The assistant on the side looked a little sad and couldn’t help but ask.
“Mr. Gutierrez, why don’t you call her back to see her after such a long time?”
Calvin glanced at her, then quickly signed his name and handed her the documents.
After a slight sound of footsteps, the room returned to silence.
He leaned back in his wheelchair, watching as the sky outside gradually darkened, the smile in his eyes slowly fading away.
Why didn’t we meet again when I missed you so much?
Because he couldn’t stand up again, why bother letting her know and adding more worries?
She had a pair of wide wings and should have flown towards a vast future that would not be influenced by him.
After all, she was only twenty–two years old.
Just like his twenty–second year, what a wonderful age it was.
It worth remembered for a lifetime
Book2–Chapter 1
Jeffrey Castro had spoiled Bella Arnold for over twenty y
years.
She thought they would naturally be together, get married, have children, and live happily ever after.
Until Jeffrey brought back a girl and told her, “Bella, she is your sister–in–law.”
“Mr. Weber, I have made up my mind to go to Westhedge for study and work.”
On the other end of the phone, James Weber exclaimed with a smile, “You should have come long ago. With your abilities, if you had come earlier, you would definitely be an internationally renowned photographer by now,”
Bella politely smiled and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Weber.”
“When can you come over? I recently met a few fashion magazine editors in Merribridge, and they were very interested in your photography works. They really want to meet you.“.
Bella thought for a moment and said, “Probably about half a month. I need to take care of things back home”
“Alright, since your brother treasures you so much, he definitely wouldn’t feel at ease letting you, a girl, come to a foreign country alone. Have a good conversation with him ”
After hanging up the phone, Bella looked at the woman trying on wedding dresses not far away, as well as the man standing beside her, smiling at her. She sighed bitterly.
Jeffrey treated Bella like she was the apple of his eye
Even Jeffrey’s mother, Malia, used to tease him before, saying, “Whoever heard of a big brother sticking to his little sister all the time? People will misunderstand if they see it.”
Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. “Misunderstand what?”
“There was a misunderstanding that you were not siblings, but a couple!”
Back then, Bella had bewilderment and surprises, but when she looked into Jettrey’s gentle and affectionate eyes, her face blushed slightly.
Jeffrey, just like now, had a gentle smile on his lips as he softly looked at her and replied, “Then let them misunderstand.”
People live in moments.
That moment became the sweetest moment of Bella’s life.
She had been waiting, waiting for Jeffrey to break through this barrier, so that she would nod without hesitation and say yes.
But waiting and waiting, what she saw in the end was his eyes looking at another girl.
Nicole White was his secretary.
At that time, Jeffrey held several resumes in front of Bella and said,
“Bella, be
help me choose one.”
Bella was a little hesitant. “I know nothing about this. You should ask someone professional for help.”
Jeffrey said, “My secretary may meet you frequently in the future, so choose someone you like, and you will feel comfortable when interacting with my secretary.”
Nicole was the one she personally chose to be Jeffrey’s secretary.
But what she didn’t expect was that she thought she had chosen a secretary, but in fact, she had chosen a “sister–in–law” for herself.
“itella
Not far away, Nicolle excitedly called out to her, “Come and help me take a look, how does this wedding dress look? Your brother is really indifferent, no matter which one I change into, he says it looks good, without any opinions. ”
Bella sighed and said, “Your wedding dress, as long as you think it looks good.”
Nicole pouted and coquettishly said, “Bella, you know, I came from a humble background. I’m afraid my aesthetic sense is not sophisticated enough and I will embarrass your brother. But you, on the other hand, are different. You’re our family’s great photographer. Your aesthetic sense must be exceptional!”
“I only knew photography and knew about composition, but I really didn’t know how to choose a wedding dress.”
Nicole felt a little disappointed, her tone tinged with a hint of grievance “Bella, do you still not accept me?”
Bella opened her mouth, she wanted to defend herself, but she didn’t know how to
She did not refuse Nicole.
She just couldn’t understand why Jeffrey, who had previously cherished her, suddenly fell in love with someone else.
“Jeffrey, go and check on Bella, I feel like she might still be angry with me because of what happened last time.”
Jeffrey said, “She wouldn’t.”
“The last time, I wrongly accused her. Maybe we should postpone our wedding until Bella calms down, and then we can have it.
Jeffrey frowned slightly. “How can we cancel the wedding just because she is unhappy?”
ursister and I want to have her blessing”
*But she is your
Jeffrey pondered for a moment and then slowly turned around, walking towards Bella.
His tone was somewhat cold. “Are you still angry about what happened last time?”
Bella turned her head to the side and said, “I didn’t“.
“Last time when you suddenly hugged me, it was understandable for Nicole to misunderstand. It’s not common for a younger sister to throw herself into her older brother’s arms. Bella, you are an adult now, you should have some sense of propriety in your actions.”
Bella looked at his slightly reproachful expression on his face, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
When Jeffrey used to spoil her, he was almost always clinging to her.
When there were outsiders present, she would slightly distance herself from Jeffrey, but he would always pull her back to his side discontentedly.
She went to the countryside to gather inspiration, and he followed along.
She went to film animal migration, and he followed along.
It was him who said that, no matter when or where, he always stood behind her, and whenever Bella turned around, she would
definitely see him.
That day, her photography work won the gold prize in an international competition. She instinctively hugged Jeffrey, wanting to share her joy with him.
But Nicole entered without knocking on the door and happened to see this scene.
Since that day, Jeffrey became cold and distant towards her, avoiding her whenever possible.
Bella took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, saying, “I’m sorry, last time I didn’t handle the situation well and caused my sister–in–law to misunderstand. From now on, I will be careful with my words and actions and won’t do it again.”
Jeffrey nodded slightly, “It’s good that you know you were wrong.”
She made a soft “hmm” sound and said, “You guys continue looking at wedding dresses, I’m feeling a bit unwell, so I’ll leave first.”
When she turned around and left the bridal shop, tears uncontrollably streamed down.
Bella wiped her face with the back of her hand, then took out her phone and booked a flight.
Half a month later, she would take this flight and leave here forever.
She’d leave Jeffrey
