Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

“Why did you come?”

Bella thought, ‘Why is it him, not Justin?’

Christopher wore a black suit and held a magnificent horse that

sparkled in the midst of the night. He looked elegant and noble, like a

prince walking out of a palace.

“I came to see you.”

“How’s your injury? You broke your ribs, so you need to rest for at

least two months. What about the cast on your arm?” Bella recalled

the horrible accident that night and asked about his injuries.

“I’m not even scared of shattering my bones because of your concern

for me.” Christopher stared at her with an affectionate gaze.

Bella’s breath hitched. She was unsure how to respond.

“Aside from visiting you, I also wanted to bring this horse to you. Y

left in a hurry last time and couldn’t take it with you.”

“Chris, this horse is beautiful. Thank you, but it’s too precious. I ca

accept it.” Bella gently declined.

“Bella, did I make you angry? Are you still upset about that day…”

“No. It’s in the past now. Even if I didn’t block Justin, the relationship

between me and him is not much different from that.” Bella smiled

bitterly.

Christopher’s fingers tightened around the reins in his hand.

Suddenly, he smiled. “I picked this horse for you and shipped it from overseas, which took over a month. I kept it at the Iverson family’s racecourse without their knowledge. You saw what happened at the

racecourse that day. Charles is managing the racecourse, so I can’t

keep the horse there anymore, but my house doesn’t have enough

space. So… Can you help me out as a friend?”

At this point, Bella could not refuse anymore. She had always fulfilled

requests from her friends.

“Then I will take care of the horse in your stead temporarily. When

you have a place for it, let me know immediately, and I’ll send it to

you.”

Bella stared at the horse, unable to hide the joy beneath her gaze.

But there was no gain without effort. Bella’s upbringing taught her that no matter how good someone else’s belongings might be, she

must not claim them for herself without a solid reason.

“Okay. When I have a place for it, I’ll take it back.”

Christopher looked up at the starry night sky. Crystal-clear snowflakes fell as he asked, “Bella, the night wind at Hatchbay is

quite cold. Could I come in for a drink?”

Bella then realized they had been standing outside in the cold win while talking. It was indeed a little impolite. She said embarrassedly Sorry, Chris, Please come in.”

Christopher’s lips curled up as he walked to her.

Just as he stood in front of Bella, he suddenly frowned and stared at her face.

“What is it? Do I have something on my head?” Bella blinked in

surprise.

Christopher slowly raised his hand, reaching toward her hair.

Bella’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to dodge him, but a red rose

suddenly appeared before her eyes.

As if he plucked it from her head, it was dark red and stunningly

beautiful.

“Where’d you get this from?”

“I practiced a magic trick for you.”

Christopher adjusted his golden-rimmed glasses shyly. He was a

refined man, but he acted like a teenager at that moment. “A rose for

a beauty like you. Forgive me for my crude technique. You can laugh if you want.”

Bella was shocked, feeling a mix of emotions.

The more Christopher tried to please her, the guiltier she felt.

The butler led the horse inside, astounded and gaping, while Bella guided Christopher into Yara Park. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
