A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 809

Now a prominent capitalist, Jack hosted a lavish dinner for friends at a renowned restaurant near Montclair Conservatory. After the meal, Jack and Bella exited the restaurant and took a stroll, enjoying the fresh evening air.

Night had fallen. The lingering warmth of summer was fading, and the early autumn breeze quietly brushed against their faces.

Jack and Bella stood on the hotel balcony. They remained half a metre apart, nowhere as intimate as the world would assume.

If anyone saw them, they would only come across as normal friends. However, only they knew the emotions stirring in their hearts.

"Congratulations on all that you've achieved," Bella said gently. Her eyes glistened in the night, carrying a hint of desire. "Jack, can you share your success story with me?"

During their time apart, Jack's changes were astonishing. Bella had once believed that she was quietly transforming, too, becoming a better version of herself, hoping to one day reappear before Jack with a renewed light.

However, in this moment, she realized it wasn't just her. Everyone around her had been changing, evolving, and rising in their own ways.

After all, exceptional people had always stayed exceptional. It was true, especially for Jack. His achievements had called for her re-evaluation.

At this moment, Bella was eager to understand the secret to Jack's success. She wanted to share his joy with him, but even more so, she wanted to listen to the challenges and struggles he faced embarking on this journey and how he overcame them, eventually walking toward success.

These experiences must have been filled with laughter and tears.

Jack's gaze froze, but he shook his head. "No, I don't remember."

"You don't remember?" Bella's body trembled slightly. She wasn't sure if Jack had really forgotten about it or if he had intentionally said so. Disappointment flickered in her eyes once again, but eventually, she said, "Jack, c-can I call you 'Big Bun' one more time?"

The name "Big Bun" carried countless good memories that Bella and Jack shared.

Could those beautiful, romantic moments really vanish with the wind, washed away by time? Bella knew they never would. Even if she and Jack were to go their separate ways someday, those memories would remain etched deep in her soul, impossible to forget.

Jack knew he shouldn't, but he knew that if he allowed Bella to call him "Big Bun" one more time, perhaps old flames would reignite again.
