Chapter 9 The Thorn In His Heart

Bella immediately went to the room and closed the door. It muffled Dominic’s voice as he roared, “Bella!”

She didn’t want to pay him much attention. She bit back the sadness bubbling within her.

There were some things she hadn’t been able to figure out. Had there been anything between Dorothy and Richard? Or were they nothing more than childhood friends? If they were just friends, how did Dorothy cause Richard’s divorce?

Bella had been too young back then. She couldn’t understand many things.

In the afternoon, Bella went to Felix’s home. He had stayed home, just like yesterday.

After greeting him, she began teaching Yvonne to play the piano patiently.
