Belle furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at Grayson, who was still on the ground. Grayson isn't reacting at all. Could he be genuinely drunk? If he weren't drunk, he would have scolded her if she made him fall on purpose.Belle was still deep in thought when Tristan and the others helped Grayson up and said to her, "It's normal if you can't lift him because you're so slim. We'll take him to your car. Which is your car?"Belle was delighted because she didn't want to touch Grayson at all. She pointed to a taxi parked by the roadside and said, "That one."The others were stunned by her words. "You don't have a car?""Grayson is too stingy, and he doesn't want to buy me a car," Belle said.Upon hearing this, Grayson's friends immediately started condemning Grayson again."Grayson is really out of the line. It's been half a year since you two married, and he still hasn't bought you a car. When he wakes up, we'll make sure to scold him.""That's right! We won't let him off
Grayson was clueless. But after venting her frustrations, Belle felt better. She had a rough day because of him.Grayson had made a big fuss during the dance practice in the morning. Hence, everything ended unpleasantly. In the evening, while Belle was studying medical cases, she had to put everything down to pick him up. Belle was utterly annoyed. She could not poison him to cause his death. So, she had no choice but to release her anger with words. She felt good after badmouthing him. As Belle happily talked bad about Grayson to the driver, Eric, something unexpected happened. The tires emitted a squeaky noise as Eric slammed on the brakes. In the next second, they collided with the car in front.Grayson and Belle's bodies lurched forward, then backward. For a moment, they lost their balance. Grayson frowned and opened his eyes. He looked ahead as displeasure and alertness appeared in his eyes.Meanwhile, Belle also focused on what was happening in front of her. She di
Belle recalled her first time at the police station. She immediately felt that it was safer to go somewhere else.She could not afford to get arrested for assault again. Otherwise, it would cause her more trouble. Hence, Belle said, "Since you're so kind, I won't hold back, then. But I can't leave my husband with this man. I need to take him with me."Hearing that, Alex narrowed his eyes. "I don't think it's nice for your husband to witness certain things, right?" "He'll be fine.""Do you really want him to witness it?" Alex asked once more. Belle replied, "Yes, there won't be any problem if he watches us." After all, Grayson knew she was a good fighter. After saying that, she turned and headed toward the taxi's back door. Belle wanted to help Grayson exit the cab before asking Eric to leave.To her surprise, two more men got out of the car the moment she turned. They even blocked her way. The two newcomers assessed Belle. It was evident that they were recklessly indiff
Just then, a man in military uniform, wearing black-framed glasses, ran over from a distance. He hurriedly saluted and greeted, "Commander!"However, Robert paid no attention to him. He glanced at Belle again but could not see her. Grayson was shielding her with his body. Robert was displeased, yet he did not say anything. He instructed the man next to him in a low voice, "There are three of them. Hand them over to the police." "Yes, sir!" Cody Ackerman, the man in glasses, was about to make a phone call. All of a sudden, Grayson stated solemnly, "I'll protect my woman. You don't need to do anything!"Upon hearing his words, Cody was shocked. He did not expect someone to talk to Robert using such a tone. He had intended to reprimand Grayson. However, when he looked up, Cody quickly adjusted his glasses. After ensuring he hadn't mistaken the person, Cody quickly greeted, "M-Mr. Page!"Yet, Grayson ignored him. Instead, he glared at Robert, his gaze filled with hostility.
Belle immediately retorted, "Who do I like? Are you referring to the handsome man from earlier?"Grayson could not believe his ears. Belle had actually said that Robert was handsome!Those words only fueled his anger. "Belle Walters, you truly are … You're the most frivolous woman I've ever met!"He continued furiously, "You're unreasonable! You have no self-respect, no shame whatsoever! You … ""Shut up!" Belle yelled. She was getting angry, too. "What do you mean I have no self-respect and no shame? Can't you say nice things?" she snapped. "H-Have you taken a liking to Robert?""His name is Robert?""Belle Walters!" Grayson bellowed. At the sound of her name, Belle frowned. "What's the matter?""What's the main point of what I said?""How am I supposed to know what your main point is? All I heard was that his name is Robert!""Y-You're … You're utterly shameless!" Grayson managed to say those words through gritted teeth. Upon hearing what he said, Belle was infuriate
Both Belle and Grayson were in a heated argument. Meanwhile, Robert's assistant, Cody, was voicing his dissatisfaction on behalf of Robert. "I can't believe you've already run into Mr. Page when you've just returned! How unfortunate! He's truly something. It's been so many years, yet he remains hostile when he sees you." Cody continued indignantly, "Mr. Quinn is his arch-enemy. You've never provoked him, yet he sees you like you're his nemesis. It's so unfair … "Cody kept rambling as he drove, but Robert was not listening attentively. He sat in the back of the military's exclusive off-road vehicle with a solemn expression, lost in thought.Robert was still thinking about Belle. He was not sure if Belle was the person he had in mind. However, they did look alike, especially her eyes. They looked exactly like the person he was thinking of. Suddenly, Robert asked, "Is Grayson married?"He had been living in the military district all this while. So, he was out of touch and
Belle and Grayson had already arrived home. Belle got out of the car just as the car stopped. Then, she slammed the door shut.The bodyguard, standing aside, didn't dare look at Grayson's expression when he opened the car door. Without even looking, the bodyguard knew Grayson's expression must be grim.Glaring at Belle's leaving figure, Grayson was boiling with anger. He wanted to throw her out of the house so badly.Perhaps Belle had sensed his death glare. Instead of getting afraid, she turned and glared at him. She clenched her teeth and warned him with a snarl. She sneered after warning him. With a pout, she went upstairs into the bedroom.Grayson was rendered speechless.Grayson initially wanted to create a romantic and natural atmosphere for his plan to succeed. However, now that it was ruined, he was in a bad mood. In his anger, he went straight to the study after getting out of the car.Once he entered the study, he lit a cigarette to smoke. He felt extremely agitated
Early the next morning, Meredith came to knock on the door. "Mr. Page, Ms. Belle, are you guys awake? Ms. Sanchez is here. Mr. Page, Ms. Belle …"Belle was jolted awake by the noise. She furrowed her eyebrows and kicked her legs under the blanket. "Grayson Page!" she exclaimed, clearly annoyed at being woken up.Grayson sat up. He didn't sleep for the entire night. Upon hearing Belle's call, he grimaced and clenched his lips in distaste at the sight of her writhing on the bed. Belle looked like a worm by how she squirmed under the blanket."What?" Grayson's tone was irritable. The rapid knocking on the door continued. Belle kicked off the blanket and sat up. "What? What else? Don't you hear her knocking on the door?" She looked at Grayson unhappily."I did.""Why didn't you reply if you heard?"Grayson was annoyed. "She's also calling you. Why didn't you say anything?""Wasn't I still sleeping?"Suddenly, Belle thought of something. "Wait. What did Meredith say? Ms. Sanch
