The food was not the determining factor of love. An individual who truly loved and cared would find


    anything the partner did charming.


    Lost in cooking, Be did not realize Justin sneaking up behind her.


    “Ah!”


    She eximed as Justin pulled her into his arms, enveloping her in his musky scent.


    “You can’t sit still, can you? I haven’t been gone for long, girl. Why aren’t you resting?”


    His arms locking around her waist longingly pained her.


    Still, she did not say anything about it. Instead, she put her right hand over his tensed hand and gave


    him a gentle pat as he held her.


    His heavy heaving lingered along the wisps of her hair and her ne stirring a moist and tickling


    sensation.


    She shuddered and caught a whiff of tobo. She frowned. “Huh Did you smoke?”


    “I’m sorry, Be. I couldn’t help myself.”


    Justin’s voice was hoarse with guilt. He rested his chin on her shoulder, snuggling up to her. “It won’t


    happen again.”


    “Is something on your mind?” Sensing his crestfallen mood, Be was rmed.


    “No.”


    “Did Chairman Salvador give you trouble at work today?”


    Nothing went past the woman’s eye.


    Justin curled his lips wryly. “I need to checkter whether you nted a bug on me.”


    “Hmph! Yeah, I did. Here.”


    Be turned around and cheekily poked his chest. “Was it about Shannon?”

    “I held a corporate meeting today to relieve Shannon of all her duties. Gregory wasn’t having it. He still


    wants to save Shannon.”


    Justin spoke nonchntly and tucked her stray hair behind her ear. But don’t worry, I won’t let him get


    away with it. Shannon must die.”


    “He’s not trying to protect Shannon. At the end of the day, he’s trying to protect himself. God knows


    what the public will say about hir nothing ends well for every woman he was with.” Be spoke her


    mind.


    “I know. The best thing about my dad is that he’s selfish.”


    Upset, Justin sighed dejectedly. He felt like his family problem was extended to her. “But don’t worry.


    When we get married, we won’t stay at Tideview Manor. We’ll move out.”


    Get married?


    Be’s heart raced, and she blushed.


    “If you want to spend more time with your family, I’ll live with you in Hatchbay. If you’re worried about


    Grandpa, we can buy a property in Crescent Bay. It’ll be easy to get together.” Justin’s eyes sparkled


    as he envisioned their future together.


    “Grandpa called me two days ago. He asked how I was doing and said that he had enough of Savrow


    because of how maniptive people are. He’s thinking about living in Hatchbay with me.” Be’s


    lashes fluttered, and her voice was soft.


    “You’re the boss.”


    Justin kissed her lips.


    They locked lips, and their breaths mingled.


    A whileter, Be left his lips breathlessly, her face flushing. “It will be hard for you to go to work and


    back if we live in Hatchbay. The daily transit will take 4 hours.”


    “I can just take the chopper. Sincen can’t pilot that, I can do it. That’s not important, though. All I want


    is for you to always be hap


    Nothing mattered more than her happiness.


    Be’s eyes welled up. She was touched by his words.


    However, she got the feeling that something was still bothering him.
