Chapter 48. Pervert

"Austin's words are not wrong, what he said is true because, without Bella realizing it, Austin's name is always on her mind."

"N-no...!" Bella protested, not wanting to admit it.

Austin lifted Bella's chin and gazed at her intensely.

"Your mouth always lies, should I ask using body language?" Austin teased, smiling mischievously at Bella.

"You pervert...!" Bella exclaimed, hitting Austin's chest, which he barely felt, making Austin just smile.

Buzz buzz

Bella's phone buzzed, indicating a text message.

"I hope it's not from Steve...!" Austin thought to himself.

"I hope it's not Nick...!" Bella thought to herself.

With a little hesitation, Bella opened her phone.

"Giselle..?" she murmured.

"Giselle..?" Austin repeated, sounding familiar with the name Bella mentioned.

"Yes, Giselle. She's my friend," Bella explained.

"Ah... Her...!" Austin thought, recalling the woman with Steve. <
