Chapter 20
Bella woke up and vomited again the next day.
“Bella, I remember that you used to be able to hold your alcohol. How did you get so
drunk last night?” Axel hurriedly handed her a glass of water to rinse her mouth and
brought over some hangover medicine.
“I haven’t touched alcohol in the past three years… So naturally, I’d get drunk after
drinking so much all of a sudden last night.”
Bella knew that Justin did not like women who smelled like alcohol, so she gave up
drinking in the three years since she was married to him.
“I know you’re drunk, but those who don’t will think that you have morning sickness.” Axel
teased
her.
“Ha… If I was really pregnant with Justin’s child, what would you guys do?” There was a
hint of grief in Bella’s eyes.
“What else can we do? We’ll help you raise the kid, of course! No matter what, that kid is
innocent.”
Although Axel hated Justin with all his heart, he was still righteous. This was probably his
professional ethics as a prosecutor.
Follow current on NovelEnglish.net“Don’t worry. I won’t carry his child. He’s not worth it!” Bella sneered and drank some
water to clear
her throat.
Axel said, “By the way, do you remember what happened last night?”
“I remember finding trouble with Zeke Gold. I think Justin came over at some point, but I
don’t remember what happened after.”
“You really don’t remember?”
“I think I saw another handsome guy who came to help me out. Ugh! I was too drunk at
the time. Otherwise, I would’ve asked for his number!”
“That’s Ryan Hoffman. ACE is his new club.”
Bella lost all interest when she heard this infamous name. “Never mind. I’m not interested
in him.”
“Did you know that Justin dragged you into the men’s bathroom after that?”
Bella’s eyes widened. “What?!”
“I don’t know what you two did in there. When I came in, you were hugging him and
blowing your nose on his shirt.” Axel shook his head when he thought about that
embarrassing scene.
Bella gasped.
“If I didn’t arrive in time to take you away, that jerkface might have…”
“He won’t. Justin is not like Ryan.” Bella held her forehead in frustration.
“Why are you defending him?!”
“I’m not. I just think he’s a decent man. He’s just heartless to me.” After Bella said this,
she could not help but feel heartbroken.
“Oh, but that jerk actually asked me if I would marry you. He even told me not to play with
your feelings. She said that you’re a regular girl and can’t bear being hurt again.”
Axel sneered. “He’s so full of himself! Why does he think that he can stick his nose into
your business?”
“Wait, why did he mention this to you for no reason?”
“That’s because he mistook me for Asher, so I just played along and told him not to touch
my girl. That jerk is probably angry.” Axel was smug.
“What the hell!” Bella was infuriated and punched Axel’s handsome face.
Steven prepared a delicious and hearty breakfast because he knew that Bella was
hungover.
Bella went downstairs wearing a pink silk nightgown. Her long hair was hanging loose on

Steven blushed and quickly looked away, not daring to take a closer look.
“Hey! There are single men in this house. Can you please consider our feelings?” Axel
rolled a hard- boiled egg on his bruised cheek and looked at Bella sternly.
“I’m tired of wearing white dresses and sneakers because I’ve been wearing them for the
past three years. Now, I can wear whatever I want! Who can stop me?” Bella rolled her
eyes and took a bite of the
sandwich.
“Why did you only wear white dresses and sneakers for the past three years? Did you
teach Sunday. school? You’ll mislead the next generation of kids!” Steven asked very
seriously.
“It’s none of your business!” The Thompson siblings said in unison.
Bella applied exquisite makeup and wore a white skirt suit and Jimmy Choos. She once
again. transformed into the beautiful boss of KS World Hotel, even though her head was
throbbing like she had been slapped by a gorilla.
Sitting in the office, Bella recalled the conversation with her second brother in the
morning, feeling a little confused.
Justin helped her out last night and said those words to Axel. Did he care about her?
Hah! How was that possible? Justin just did not like that his once servile “wife” suddenly
changed her
style and served a new master, so he became possessive over her.
