Chapter 314
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Be was caught off guard as her eyes unexpectedly locked
with Justin’s intense gaze. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed with annoyance.
Christopher also seemed to be taken aback. He adjusted his gold-rimmed sses with his fingertips.
After a brief moment, his gaze turned somewhat awkward.
“Sorry, Be, I didn’t know he would be here before bringing you. Let’s forget about the autograph. We
should leave first.”
“It’s okay. I don’t mind.”
Be smiled nonchntly, unfazed by Justin’s unexpected appearance. “There’s now in our country
that says we have to take a detour when we encounter an ex-husband, right? Besides, I really hope
you can get the autograph and fulfill Mrs. Iverson’s small wish.”
Christopher’s sharp eyes widened. He gazed deeply at Be, profoundly moved. However, the
expression on Justin’s face turned increasingly gloomy.
The distance between them was not too far, so Be’s voice was distinctly audible to him. Despite the
fact that Justin and Be had already divorced, Justin found himself unable to resist the pull of
conflicting emotions during the concert. When he heard Be express concern for Christopher’s
mother, he could no longer contain himself. He urgently wanted to approach Be and ask how far she
had progressed in her rtionship with Christopher.
He battled an internal struggle, fearing potential embarrassment if he approached Be. These were
futile thoughts. After all, they had already parted ways. But against his better judgment, his heart
seemed to steer him toward her uncontrobly.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
Suddenly, the door to the dressing room swung open.
“Justin!”
A crisp, doll-like voice broke the tense atmosphere. Before Justin could fully grasp the situation, a soft,
green mass immediately engulfed his tall figure.
Zoe, Ryan’s younger sister, clung to Justin like a ko. Her rosy face nestled against his chest as she
coquettishly asked, “Justin, did youe just to watch my performance? Were you nning to surprise
me?”
Justin’s demeanor shifted abruptly. His entire body tensed up. His eyes darted toward Be discreetly,
but Ryan remained blissfully unaware of his sister’s behavior. In his
eyes, the interaction between Justin and Zoe appeared ordinary, reminiscent of their yful childhood
days. It seemed perfectly normal to him.
But he forgot that they were no longer children.
Zoe, already 22 years old, had blossomed into a graceful young woman. Moreover, she and Justin
were not blood rtives, making her current behavior rather inappropriate.
Especially considering it was happening right in front of Be.
“Come on, Justin! Give me a hug!”
Zoe’s arms tightened around Justin’s waist. She raised her face, making enthusiastic requests,
However, Justin remained stiff as a rock. He refused to respond to Zoe.
His gaze was fixed on Be ever since she appeared. Zoe, sensitive to the nuances, quickly realized
that Justin’s attention was not on her at all.
Following the direction of his gaze, Zoe instantly spotted Be standing not far away, radiating beauty
as if a goddess had descended to earth. Jealousy ignited within her, and her eyes darkened with envy.
Ryan waspletely oblivious to the situation and said, “Zoe, now that you have Justin, have you
forgotten about your real brother?” He pouted and teased, “I want some hugs, too! Come give your
brother a hug!”
“You have so many admirers. You can go get hugs from them,” Zoe retorted, lifting her hand with a
mischievous smile, ready to touch Justin’s chiseled jaw.
She continued, “Ryan is so sleazy. I prefer Justin-cool and broody-totally my type!”
Justin furrowed his brows. He turned away from Zoe’s touch.
At that moment, he abruptly noticed something. Be’s gaze was calm, and her graceful figure was
striding towards him with an air of elegance.
Justin’s breath caught in his throat, and his heartbeat raced as if it might burst out of his chest.
