Samuel remained quiet with a frown on his face. He had nothing to talk with Bella since what had happened between them years ago. For him, she was a complete stranger ever since.

He couldn’t say something heartfelt to her, for he didn’t feel any connection between them.

"Samuel." Bella looked at him intently and held his hand. But as soon as their hands touched, Samuel shook it off.

Samuel smirked at her, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t touch me."

Three years ago, he had been used by Bella. He didn’t want to repeat that same mistake again.

If their scandal appeared on the front page of tomorrow’s newspaper, not only him but also Ada wouldn’t let it go.

"Do you have to talk to me like that?" Bella smiled bitterly. "I really want to apologize to y

come back? Am I crazy?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Bella scoffed. "I clearly saw the way you looked at that woman just now. You obviously have a new girlfriend. That’s why you don’t want to be with me, right?

Samuel, how could you do this to me?"

"Are you crazy?" Samuel said angrily. He had broken up with her three years ago. It was fine for him to be with another woman like Julia. But Bella made it look like he had cheated on her. She was making trouble out of nothing.

"Stop!" Bella said to Samuel, holding his hand. "I need some clarification today, or I won’t let you go."

"Let me go!" More people were curiously looking at him. Samuel brushed off Bella’s hand and left quickly.

But when he came out to look for Julia, she was nowhere to be found.

He was confused.
