The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1277

‘Why didn’t she tell me?’ Justin silently asked himself this question at every moment, continuously exhausting and torturing himself.

If only he knew Bella was pregnant at that time... If he knew their child was gone...

“Justin, don’t blame yourself. It’s not just your fault for failing to protect the child. As the mother, I bear responsibility too.”

Bella’s lashes fluttered, and she smiled with relief, but it made his heart ache. “Even if you made it back in time, it wouldn’t have changed anything.

“It’s already a relief that Grandpa Nigel is fine. Otherwise, I’d feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Through the foggy air, Justin’s eyes gradually moistened, but his throat grew dry, croaking. “After that? You had a thousand chances to tell me... Why didn’t you say it?”

Bella lowered her eyes, shrinking back into the water like an aggrieved little rabbit. “You were having a tough time, flying all across the world. You were always exhausted when you came home and in a bad mood. I didn’t want to pressure you further and complicate things for you because of this matter…”

“Complicate things?”

“You didn’t love me back then.”

Bella curled her body into a ball, trying hard to adjust her breath, as she did not want him to notice her upset emotions. “No matter how I look at it, it’s troublesome for a man to impregnate a woman he doesn’t love, right? I hoped you would fall in love with me, but I didn’t want you to accept me out of guilt. I know you have a pure soul. You’re kind by nature. Because of that, I didn’t want to make things complicated for you.”

A kind person...

Would a kind person inflict all this misfortune and wounds on her?

Bitter and hot tears fell from Justin’s red eyes, washing away the bubble foam on his cheeks.

“Bella… What’s so good about me? You really shouldn’t fall in love with me.” He repeatedly murmured, feeling lost, like a child who had done something wrong.

“Fool. Who else would I love if not you? You are the man who stunned me when I was eleven, the light I was always chasing after.”
