Chapter 195 A Side She Has Never Seen Before

Over the weekend, Bella stayed at home. Lia kept her company through voice calls.

Abruptly, she started talking about a recent story on the news. "Did you know that the police reinoved a dead body from one of the houses in your neighborhoo The house isn't too far from yours too, Lia described.

"The dead man wasn't the owner of the house, though. The owners didn't know ha

know him either. He broke in and died by accident. They even found guns that belongs to the dead man on the scene. Could he be an assassin?

"The people who live in your neighborhood are pretty rich, and rich men bring trouble. You need to be careful."

Bella hadn't heard about this at all, so she was surprised. "Is that so? I didn't know about that. I'm typically at the hospital during the day. I didn't hear anyone talking about this...

Out of curiosity, she went up to the rooftop and looked at the house that Lia had mentioned. The house was on slightly elevated ground, so it was positioned high than Miller Manor. If someone were to stand on the rooftop of that house, they would be able to see the entire Miller Manor and look right inside.

Suddenly realizing something, Bella hurriedly went back to her bedroom, not wanting to contemplate further.

That night, when Dominic came home, she pulled up the news and placed it before him while they were having dinner. "Do you think this man was sent by Ar fiancé? I checked. The location of this house is perfect for observing Miller Manor. It seems a little too specific. by Amber

"You killed his father, so I don't think he's going to let you off so easily."

Dominic's eyes lockered. He didn't peruse the article like he already knew what it said. "I didn't expect you to be such a detective," he said lightly.

It sounded like he was mocking her. Bella immediately deflated. They were at an awkward phase in their relationship right now, so getting along was pretty n impossible. She was just worried about him being assassinated; they had been living together for so long, after all. She still cared about him.

She lowered her head and continued eating. After a while, Dominic asked suddenly, "How do you think the guy died?"

His expression was completely impassive as if he was just asking a normal question and not about how a man died.

Bella froze as her mind raced. If Dominic had losown from the start that an assassin was after him, then that man's death was probably not an accident. What kind of fatal accident would befall a trained assassin? It couldn't be an accident!

Before she could gather her courage and ask him, Dominic put down his cutlery and went out with Pudding

Bella sat at the table, stunned. It took her some time to regain her wits.

When he retumed with injuries back then, she had thought of him as the victim. He lilled only in self-defense. He nearly died, so it Now, though, it was different. She had known lum for 20 years, but it seemed like he had another side of him that she'd never seen before. it was understandable.

A few days later was Leorged's birthday, Dominic had told Bella this in advance as he wanted her to go to the

It was more of a notification than a request, so Bella had no choice but to comply even though she didn't want to go, she had to ask for two days off from the hospital

Leonard's birthday celebration was both simple and lavish. It was held on a private island owned by the Sawyer family in the 5 out there on a private jet

South Sea. The whole group was flying

The weather on the island was hot, so Bella only packed two sets of clothes and a few daily essentials. She figured that she didn't need to pack much since t was only going to be a two-day trip.

On the day of departure, Dominic decided to bring Pudding along, even giving her a new collar. Pudding was also wearing black and white checkered bib Bella Thought Pudding could do with a little more accessories, so she put her sunglasses on Pudding as well. With that, Pudding looked dashing.
