Chapter 262 A Woman's Jealousy

Bella didn't want to resist, and everything felt so natural. After all their terrible arguments, could things really be

this calm now? Or was there a storm lurking beneath the surface? Her mind started to wander, imagining all the

inappropriate things he might do to her next.

At that moment, she could already imagine the scene. However, when the kiss ended, he didn't do anything

more.

He gently cupped one side of her face, his fingers brushing through her soft hair. "We're not breaking up, so don't

even think about it. If you feel uneasy because I'm too good to you, | get it

"I know what to do now, I'll try to... make things more comfortable for you. Go get srest. You don't have to

entertaintonight. I'm not in the mood.

Relieved, Bella said goodnight and fled to her room.

Her mood had suddenly lightened, though she wasn't sure if it was because they hadn't broken up or because

their peaceful conversation had soothed her..

At that moment, his gentle kiss meant more to her than any physical intimacy. The kiss was genuine and didn't

contain any sexual desire. After she left, Dominic picked up the gift box she left behind. Opening it, he studied

the broach inside for a long moment, lost in thought.

The next morning, they both emerged from their rooms at nearly the stime. Bella was rushing, clearly on

the verge of being late. As their eyes briefly met, Dominic greeted her casually, "Morning"

"Morning," she replied, quickly catching up to him. "I'm going to be late. I'll skip breakfast. See you tonight."

Dominic just waved her off, saying nothing more. As Bella hurried away, she caught a glimpse of the brooch she

had given him pinned to his jacket. She smiled broadly.

For the next several days, they were busy with their own schedule. Each of them was busy with their own work

during the day. They would then return hat night to eat together, walk the dog, and spend tin each

other's company.

They didn't have many deep conversations, but the simplicity of their ttogether made Bella feel content.

This was what she had always wanted. She just wanted to be near him without asking for too much.

On Saturday, Dominic unexpectedly suggested Bella visit his office with him. Having grown more comfortable

with him, she didn't refuse this time.

At a large company like Miller Group, weekends were generally quiet, with only a few departments working

overtime. The place felt emptier than usual and quieter without the usual weekday bustle.

While Dominic was busy in his office, Bella wandered around on her own. Whether by chance or design, she

found herself in the department where she saw the woman who had gone with Dominic to buy that warch.

He was right. This woman had a very good taste, Her outfit, though not from any high-end luxury brands, was

stylish and elegant. She could easily draw attention with the understated charm of her clothes.

No wonder he had asked her to help pick out the gift. However, it wasn't so much about who he had gone with

but more about how he had placed the Watch on her wrist.

Even though Bella knew it was a misunderstanding, thinking about that moment still made her feel uneasy.

Maybe that was just how jealousy worked... It crept in quietly, taking root in the darkest corners of her mind and

surfacing when she least expected it. Sensing Bella's stare, the woman glanced up and met her eyes. For a

second, their gazes locked. The woman's expression was calm and controlled. She greeted her by wearing a

smile and giving a small nod even though they were strangers.

Bella smiled back, doing her best to maintain her composure. For her, social interactions felt tar more confusing

and difficult than anything she had
