“Congratulations,” Bella remarked to him. “I was unaware that you had become engaged.”
“It is recent,” he stated plainly. “The announcement will be made official tomorrow.”
“Indeed, it was just this morning.” Grace smiled at her before directing her gaze towards the ring. “Isn’t it impeccable; he understands me profoundly.”
“It is quite pleasant.” Bella smiled at Grace, asserting her hold on the man. Bella perceived that she hailed from an affluent household, as she was attired flawlessly in designer apparel.
“Grace, if you could grant Bella and me a few moments of privacy, we will then proceed to have lunch.”
She smiled directly at him, stating, “I would appreciate that,” before rising to her feet.
Bella observed him escort her to the door, then she elevated herself to kiss him on the lips. Before he closed the door, she gazed directly at him, intrigued; it was reassuring to witness his progress, yet he had remained silent. If he had, she likely would not have needed to come here at all.
I have known Grace for a considerable duration, essentially my entire life; we have had an intermittent romantic relationship similar to yours and mine.
“She appears amiable.”
“It is my family’s decision.” He acknowledged as he took a seat.
“Could you please inform me of the duration of your acquaintance with her?”She was inquisitive, considering they were engaged and she had only been apart for a few weeks. Few individuals become committed in such a short timeframe.
“Are you annoyed, Bella?””
“No, Tim, I am genuinely pleased for you.” She was, indeed, devoid of significant remorse.
“I have been acquainted with her for as long as I have known you,” he replied.
That astonished her significantly. “Are we both doing it simultaneously?””
“Indeed, she was aware the entire time.” “I did not particularly enjoy it,” he remarked with a shrug. “However, she has exhibited patience and was prepared to await my definitive choice between the two of you.”
“Frankly, Tim, I never envisioned us marrying.” Did you do that?”
“I am uncertain.” However, you are entirely dissimilar to her. You are neither clingy nor emotionally demanding. You were indifferent to our exclusive s****l encounters and socialising. The s****l experience with you is markedly distinct from that with her.
Bella arched an eyebrow at him, “Alright.” She recognised her assertiveness in that regard, her preference for dominance, and her occasional harshness, which were intrinsic to her identity and her desire for fulfilment, not quite feasible with a human. Not entirely, in any case. “Did you become engaged this morning?”That could not be a mere coincidence.
“I did,” he said. “You and I are finished, correct?””
“Affirmative.” She acknowledged with a nod.
“Subsequently, I shall wed Grace.” She has made her contributions regarding me and has waited for years. She loves me and has spent numerous nights at my residence over the years, despite her awareness of you and me.
“Why was I unaware of her?” What if she were aware of my existence?”
“I genuinely did not anticipate your approval of that,” he remarked with a shrug. “You do not strike me as someone who shares.”
Bella concurred, stating, “I am not.” Had she been aware of Grace, she would have terminated her relationship with Tim immediately. “Was she merely indifferent to your cohabitation with me?” I simply not comprehend that, Tim.
“She adores me, Bella.” He comprehends that I appreciated the intensity and prolonged nature of our s****l encounters, which she, nonetheless, does not desire; thus, he conceded that I may experience it with you.
Bella gazed at him, seemingly unaware of Tim’s identity. He maintained relationships with two women simultaneously, stating, “I suppose she provided you with what I was unable to.”
“Indeed, honesty,” he remarked. “Devotion and love, and she remains open to sharing me with another from time to time.”
“That is quite atypical, Tim.” She shook her head. “I would recommend securing that in your prenuptial agreement.”
“It shall be, and I will grant her the same.” We have reached an agreement.
“As long as you are happy, Tim.”
“She is charming and desires to marry me; I am also acquainted with her family.” “Everything is satisfactory,” he informed her.
“I will allow you to proceed and have lunch with your future spouse.”
She smiled at him and rose.
I hope, for your benefit, Bella, that Luke Cupper exhibits the same commitment and loyalty towards you as Grace does towards me.
“He does.” She affirmed and exited his office.
She discovered Macky waiting for her and noticed Grace observing her; she smiled at Grace and held the door open for her to enter Chris’s office.
That was peculiar, even for me, Bella. Macky established a mental connection with her.
“I genuinely had no knowledge of his relationship with Grace, nor was I aware that she was informed about my existence.”
