The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1870

Justin had a prior engagement with Bella. He was supposed to head home early to try out her new dish.

Since Ryan asked and needed his company, Justin could not say no to him.

…

The pair arrived at their usual restaurant.

The food and drinks were served in the private room. However, Ryan did not have the appetite. He fiddled with his food and downed one drink after another.

“You have stomach issues. You should refrain from drinking.” Justin put his hand over Ryan’s glass.

“No one else cares about me apart from you.” Ryan flung his back to his seat and laughed.

Justin sounded concerned. “She’s not with you, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about you. Your reckless disregard for yourself will only hurt the people who care about you.”

Ryan felt a stab in his heart, his trembling fingers nearly dropping his drink. “Is Carrie doing well?”

“I came here to talk to you about this. Carrie will not be marrying Jason Solloway.”

“Really? Carrie isn’t marrying him anymore?” Ryan’s eyes lit up, and life returned to them. “I knew Carrie wouldn’t turn her back on me. Her heart belongs to me. She wouldn’t marry anyone else.”

Justin took one long look at him and shook his head. “Gregory set Carrie up with Jason and pressured her to go through with the wedding. Carrie won’t and can’t defy Gregory. She is only too considerate of others for her own good. Madam Mila and Ralph were the ones who caused that marriage to fall apart.”
