Chapter 162 Bitch's Overwhelming Aura

Bella said she wanted to chat, so we headed back to the villa. I made her a cup of hot coffee, and we settled on the sofa.

It felt like ages since we just sat and talked like this.

"What's up? Is Zachary not treating you right?"

Bella leaned back, holding her cup. "Him? He's great!"

I didn't know their private life, but from her surgery and hospital stay, Zachary seemed to treat her well.

In marriage, the one who loves more often ends up more humble. It's a two-way street; you can't make it work alone.

People aren't perfect; they get tired, worn out, and disappointed. Eventually, they might want to give up.

I said, "As long as he treats you well, Bella. It's hard to find a guy who genuinely cares. Don't neglect him too much, or he might feel left out. Just because something's hard to get doesn't mean it's the best, and what's easy to get isn't necessarily cheap."

Bella stared at the steam from her cup, unusually quiet. "I get what you're saying. Oliver is great, but Zachary isn't bad either. The best isn't always the right fit. I'm not perfect, so why demand perfection? Fate's a tricky thing. No one wants to hurt anyone."

Bella seemed calmer talking about Oliver now.

"But Zachary is so mysterious. I realized I don't know him at all," Bella said.

I could relate. Wasn't Ethan mysterious too? Even after six months of marriage, he still felt like an enigma sometimes.

Bella put down her cup. "I asked him, 'Zachary, who are you really?' He said, 'I wasn't a good person before, but now I have a wife, and I want to be a good man.""

I laughed. "That's not bad. It shows he's serious about treating you well."

"But he said he wasn't a good person before."

"Bella, don't overthink it. Everyone has a past. Even if he was bad before, he's trying to change for you now. You should feel proud; you're the reason he's changing."

Bella thought for a moment and then laughed, "Emily, that actually makes sense."

Seeing her relieved, I got serious. "Bella, Zachary has a place in your heart now."

She looked startled.
