Hearing this, Axel put away his usual playful demeanor. His expression became increasingly serious.

"Bella, don't get too worked up. It's not good for your health," Justin said, his brows furrowing slightly as he held Bella's trembling hand. "Especially after a meal. You know how your stomach reacts when you're upset."

"Huh? Even the Salvador family got one, but I didn't? Is the Thompson family so insignificant?" Bella pouted, her teeth grinding in frustration.
