Chapter 351

Jerome returned to the Schultz family estate, only to find Bellina standing at the door, clutching her phone, anxiously awaiting his arrival

Her delicate, beautiful features were clouded with anger and resentment.

The moment Jerome stepped out of the car, she stormed over, fuming, “Jerome, what took you so long?”

Her face was full of grievance, and her big, expressive eyes shimmered as if on the verge of tears.

In the past. Jerome would have been distressed, his heart aching for her.

But now, he remained indifferent. His response was brief: “Got delayed.”

“Come inside. We’re heading to the airport soon,” he added, his voice devoid of warmth, neither cold nor distant–just empty

Bellina found this unfamiliar.

Jerome, do you not like me anymore?” she pouted, clinging onto his arm, her voice dripping with grievance. “You’re acting like you don’t even want to talk to me. You were never like this before.”

Jerome didn’t push her away, but he no longer indulged her either. His smile was faint, almost perfunctory. “You’re overthinking it.”

Bellina, undeterred, bounced beside him cheerfully. “Jerome, when we get married, I’ll always be with you. You’ll never be lonely again! And don’t worry, I won’t hold last night against you!”

Jerome’s handsome face remained impassive.

After a long pause, he finally gave a lukewarm response. “Alright.”

Bellina’s eyes gleamed with mischief. “So, what did they say when you dropped off the camera? Are they still treating you like they used to? It’s fine, though–you have me.”

“Mm.” Jerome curled his lips into a faint, unreadable smile.

Seeing him smile, Bellina beamed as well. “Jerome, once we get our marriage certificate, can I start calling you ‘husband“?”

She switched gears effortlessly–what should have been taboo now seemed natural, even affectionate, under her radiant smile.

To any outsider, they would look like an enamored young couple.
