A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 995

Jack nodded quietly. He noticed how hazy Bella's eyes were, making it clear that she was already quite drunk. He said, "Bella, you drank too much."

"Yes. I'm getting drunk, but not because of the wine."

She approached Jack and stared longingly up at him with her big and beautiful eyes. It was as if she wanted to carve his visage into the bottom of her heart where it would stay forevermore.

"Jack, could you call me Belle, just like how you used to do?"

It was just a small request. Jack nodded and murmured, "Belle, it's getting late. I have to go."

He realized that something was amiss with the atmosphere. If he continued to stay, he might make an irreversible mistake.

"Okay."

A gorgeous smile bloomed on Bella's face before she made another request. "Could you… Could you kiss me again? As if we're still lovers. Just this one time, okay?"

Jack was conflicted. He didn't want to betray Feena, so he said in a low voice, "No."

However, his voice sounded less determined than he expected..

"Don't worry, I'm not chasing after anything else. This kiss is just to bid a proper farewell to our past. Would you… Would you deny me this request? It really is just this one time."

Bella's expression moved Jack. On top of that, Jack had always harbored lingering feelings for her deep in his heart. Even though he knew that Feena was waiting for him in the next room, even though he knew that it wouldn't be right of him to do so, he found it hard to resist Bella's passion and forwardness. Her rosy and shiny lips were right in front of him.

The smile froze on Bella's face. She turned around slowly and said lightly, "The wine's in the wine cabinet. Take whatever you want."

Jack rummaged through the wine cabinet before selecting a bottle of red wine. He was about to leave when Bella suddenly turned around and called out to him. "Wait!"

Jack turned around and shot her a confused look, wondering what else she wanted to tell him.

"Is there something else?" he asked.

Bella looked at Jack before lowering her head. She murmured, "I… I might be getting married soon too."

Jack was stunned. Was Bella going to get married too? He never could have imagined that she would stop him to tell him this. She didn't bring it up during the dinner earlier, so why was she suddenly talking about getting married?
