A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 47

Winter had arrived, and the cold wind swept through with abandon.

On Saturday, Jack was busy working when he received a call from Bella. Her voice carried a playful, almost coquettish tone as she invited him out for lunch and shopping. Despite Jack repeatedly telling her not to call him "Big Bun", Bella seemed to enjoy it far too much to stop.

Before long, Bella showed up at Jack's dorm, dressed impeccably and lightly perfumed. It was clear she had gone out of her way to look her best for their outing, leaving Jack little room to refuse.

After lunch, Bella drove Jack to the shopping mall. Jack had always known she came from a well-off family, but seeing her driving a luxury car to school at such a young age still surprised him.

At the mall, Bella picked out several high-end outfits for Jack to try on. When Jack stepped out of the fitting room, she couldn't help but stare, momentarily stunned.

Even the sales assistant exclaimed with admiration, "Wow, you look so handsome!"

Though Bella's heart echoed the sentiment, she quickly composed herself, putting on an indifferent front. "Try another one," she said coolly.

As Jack went back into the fitting room, the staff began whispering to each other.

"That guy is so good-looking. I really like him."

"Then, go for it! He's not her boyfriend."

"How do you know?"

"She said so earlier."

"Really? Then, maybe I should try."

Though their voices were soft, Bella overheard them. A sudden wave of unease swept over her. Frowning, she couldn't hold back and declared firmly, "He's my boyfriend."
