Chapter 502

As Steven’s and Bella’s eyes met, they smiled. Nothing more needed to be said at that point. In a dark corner, Amelia stumbled upon the interaction between Bella and Steven with bulged eyes. The scene before her eyes cut her like a knife. Amelia thought she could accept that Steven’s heart belonged to someone else. However, the reality tonight broke her, and she could not stop the tears rolling down her cheeks. Amelia put her hands over her shaking lips. Not wanting to disturb them, she retreated back into the darkness. As much as Amelia loved Steven, it broke her heart to see him in love with someone else. The hardest thing to do in life was to let go and wish others happiness. “That reminds me. What’s going on with you tonight?” Furrowing her brows, Bella smacked Steven in the head. “Why were you playing good cop, bad cop? Hunter is your brother, and your parents are here. You shouldn’t have taken my side recklessly. You should stand your ground. You put yourself in an awkward position in your family.” Steven’s eyes reflected his resolution. “Ms. Bella, I represent what you represent.” “Tsk tsk. Now, that’s my bro.” Crossing her arms, Bella narrowed her eyes and teased him. “Ms. Bella, I won’t be presumptuous to think that I’m your godbrother.” Steven waved his arms in the air nervously as he reeled back to when Wyatt acknowledged him as a son in the presence of the Thompsons and Lovetts. “Chairman Thompson was just trying to turn the heat on my brother. It’s all an act. I won’t be imprudent enough to take it seriously.” “You don’t know Wyatt well enough, then. Wyatt takes everything he says seriously. You’re a son to him now. Despite the old man’s reputation as a playboy, he won’t stoop that low to exploit the young for his amusement. Besides, Wyatt has plenty of ways to deal with your greed-driven brother. He just doesn’t want to let things come between our families.” Bella patted his shoulder with a smile. “Alright now. Don’t put everything on yourself. I think it’s great that my father has a godson. It’s better than him having another illegitimate child.” “Cough, cough…” Steven nearly choked on his saliva. … Amelia stumbled her way toward the other end of the corridor. She had a lot to drink tonight, and she felt down in the dumps. Her eyes, blurred by intoxication and tears, struggled to give her focus on the way ahead. Her legs were weak, and her head felt heavy. She nearly fell to her feet a few times. The damn villa was too huge. She got lost in her own home. “Steve… Steve…” Amelia breathed hard while murmuring Steven’s name. “Ugh!” Suddenly, she ran into a wall of flesh. She bumped her nose, and her tears would not stop falling. Losing her balance, Amelia fell back, but the man held her up by gripping her on the waist. Amelia ran into a man’s arms. “Watch out, Ms. Amelia.” The alcohol had really gotten into her now. Narrowing her eyes, she tried to get a good look at the man’s face, but all she could make out was a blurry resemblance to Steven. Her heart raced. “Steve…” “You got the wrong guy, Ms. Amelia. I’m not Steven. I’m his brother, Hunter.” Hunter’s eyes, resembling Steven’s, darkened as he curled his lips sinisterly.
