"I'm still in a meeting. Take a taxi home," said Grayson. He was about to hang up when Belle said, "Just end the meeting. You said you would pick me up. You can't go back on your word! "Besides, it would be so embarrassing if you didn't come because I already told Xenia you would. It will seem as if you don't love me. Hurry up!"Grayson was speechless. Had he ever loved her? Why was she being so clingy all of a sudden? They had been married for half a year, but this was a first! Was she trying to put on an act for Xenia? He was putting on an act to crush Xenia's feelings for him, but what was Belle doing it for?Was she doing it just to make Xenia jealous? But why? Xenia didn't mess with her like June did! Could she possibly see Xenia as a rival? Had Belle fallen in love with him?Grayson suspected Belle even more when he recalled how she had kept trying to seduce him recently. After some thought, he put down his work and went to pick Belle up at the mall.Belle, Xenia, a
Grayson looked around at everyone and fixed his gaze on Belle. Although his wife was fierce, rude, and disobedient, he had to admit that she was drop-dead gorgeous. The other women looked invisible next to her. But why was she looking at him like that?Grayson walked to Belle and took her shopping bags. He pretended to be very loving toward her for Xenia to see."Did you buy all of these?" asked Grayson. Belle nodded."Why did you buy so much?"To take revenge on him, of course! Belle wanted to use his money since he was using her! It hurt, didn't it?Belle kept an innocent look on her face and said, "I haven't gone shopping in ages, so I bought a lot this time. You told me to buy anything I wanted, didn't you? Are you mad that I spent so much money now?"Belle spoke coquettishly and pouted. She looked adorable. Grayson narrowed his eyes.His wife was always bad-tempered toward him. She had never acted this way before! It seemed like he had guessed correctly. Belle had falle
Every woman who was present was very jealous when they saw how Grayson treated Belle. However, Belle was incredibly disappointed. She lost interest in getting revenge at that instant. She decided not to say the words that would disgust Grayson anymore. Belle started treating Grayson like she used to before. She ignored him, turned, and left the place. Grayson noticed that Belle was unhappy, and his brows furrowed. "Shouldn't Belle be happy that I was speaking to her in such a nice manner?" Grayson thought. Belle seemed to be unhappy with what Grayson did. In fact, she looked like she was angry. It was difficult for Grayson to understand what Belle was thinking. To guess a woman's thought was as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack. What was Belle thinking? Was she trying to play a game of tug-of-war with him?Grayson was still trying to figure out what happened when Belle walked to Sam's side. "Mrs. Page, there are too many things in the car's trunk, so s
Xenia's expression was incredibly dark at the moment. Everyone focused on Belle, and no one cared about her anymore. It was as if she didn't exist at all. Besides, no one thought that she and Grayson had any kind of relationship. Xenia heard that Grayson didn't like Belle at all. However, Grayson's actions toward Belle indicated that he actually liked her very much. That made Xenia more angry. Did she receive false information? Was she late to the party, and Grayson had already started liking Belle after being with her for an extended period? Xenia gathered her thoughts as she saw Sam start the car. She immediately said goodbye to her friends and went up to the vehicle. "I want to be with Belle tonight. She won't be going to dance class now but will do so tomorrow. You can go home and take a rest. I'll have my bodyguards take you home," Grayson said to Xenia when she opened the car door. Xenia's expression soured at Grayson's words.She was incredibly saddened but tried no
The affluent young ladies couldn't help but feel consumed by jealousy after discussing Grayson. Their eyes seemed to emit shades of green, and a fiery passion of resentment burned within their hearts.They surrounded Xenia and asked, "Xenia, what's really going on? Didn't you say that Mr. Page doesn't like Ms. Walters?""Mr. Page seems to really like her! He seems to dote on her a lot!"Xenia clenched her fists secretly, and a hint of anger flashed through her eyes. She had underestimated Belle.Belle bought so many things today, but it wasn't for herself. She was trying to win over Grayson's men. She was truly cunning! It was obvious she was doing this to please Grayson.Xenia had completely misunderstood Belle's intentions. Xenia was extremely furious but tried to hide it by calmly saying, "Feelings can be nurtured. Belle has been with Grayson for half a year now. It's normal that they develop feelings for each other. You all must be tired from shopping all day. Let's go. I'
Dorothy replied, "You're right. You can come over when you're free.""Alright. How's the patient's current condition?""Stable for now. He's still in the intensive care unit. It's already late. Have a good rest, and come when you're free.""Okay, I'll be there tomorrow morning."Belle kept her phone. The car had already stopped. They were home.Turning to look at Grayson, she wanted to talk to him about Xenia. But he got out of the car. All she could see was his cold silhouette.He seemed distant and unwilling to speak to her.Belle frowned. She glared at him and got out of the car.The maids came to help bring in the things she bought. Belle gave them a gift each. These were quite pricey.The maids were delighted. "Thank you, Ms. Walters!""You're welcome. I've been troubling you a lot for the past few months," said Belle with a smile. Then, she walked toward the house with a gentle expression.Scampering out joyfully, Sixteen dashed to her. It wagged its tail and stood on
However, Grayson grew sullen immediately after. He and Belle were in a marriage by agreement. Belle had fallen for him, but he didn't love her back. What should he do?What could he do if she refused to divorce when their contract ended?Grayson was worried as he thought about the future.Seeing that he fell silent, Belle said, "I have spent a lot with your card today. Now, we're even. If you dare take advantage of me again, I won't let it slide easily!"Belle turned to leave after she finished speaking. Grayson called out, "Wait!"Belle halted and turned around. "What?""Where's my gift?""What?""Stop acting. I'm talking to you about the gift you're giving me."Belle was dumbfounded.Grayson's face darkened. "Belle Walters, I'm giving you only one chance. If you don't give it to me now, I won't accept it if you give it to me later!"Belle's eyes widened. "Who says I'm giving you a present?"Grayson asked, "What do you mean?"Belle retorted, "No, what do you mean?"Grays
Meredith had already prepared breakfast. She quickly served the food when she saw Belle coming down the stairs.She purposedly placed a bowl of oatmeal with toppings right before Belle.Belle was puzzled. "What is this?"Meredith smiled. "A nutritious bowl of oatmeal. Mr. Page instructed me to prepare this for you. I've added some granola and fruits. There is a variety of nuts in it, too. They are packed full of nutrients. Try it."Meredith prepared this for her on Grayson's orders?Belle couldn't understand. "Why did you prepare this for me?"Meredith said gently, "Mr. Page says you seem to have lost some weight recently. You don't look as radiant as before, too. You should take more nutritious food."Belle didn't know what to say.She didn't believe Grayson would be concerned about her. He must be putting up a show for Xenia, right?Belle pursed her lips. Without further ado, she tasted the food. It was delicious."Is it nice?" asked Meredith."Yes, it is!"Meredith grinn
