Crushed Affections (Dominic and Bella)

Chapter 426 We Can Only Part Ways

Bella was slightly concerned about how quickly Lia became married to Zion. She felt that they didn't know each other well enough, which could lead to problems later. However, she didn't know how to bring it up when she saw Lia being so carefree. After a while, when Zion returned to the table, Bella casually turned the conversation with Lia to something involving Zion. "Lia, I can't shake the feeling that someone used to live in the apartment Dominic gave me."

Lia looked surprised. "No way. He let another woman live there?"

Bella's gaze drifted, as if by accident, toward Zion. "I'm not sure, but I don't know how to ask. I don't think that it's that big of a deal if someone lived there before. But the place should be cleaned up before someone new moves in, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for the next person?"

Lia nodded vigorously, her response quick. "Exactly. That's what I think, too."

Felix, who had already figured out Bella's intention, sat back casually, watching the exchange.

Zion wasn't an idiot. He gave Bella an indirect answer. "Maybe it just hasn't been tidied up yet. Maybe there wasn't time, or maybe it was just forgotten. Don't overthink it."

Bella pressed on. "It's in the most obvious spot, something you'd see right away. It's hard to forget, but it's easy to fix if you care. You don't even need much time just a little effort. Maybe it's just that women tend to notice the small things. After all, actions speak louder than words."
