"Are you... Arabella Donovan, right?" She greeted her in a cheerful and friendly voice. "OMG! Bella, you are so beautiful..."
Instantly, Bella’s nervousness disappeared as soon as she saw this woman’s friendly smile reach her eyes.
For some unknown reason, seeing and hearing Amanda talk to her in this friendly manner made her feel like she was meeting her best friend, Harper Reed.
"Yes, I am. And you must be Sister Amanda Spencer?"
"Yes, dear... Bella, let’s talk inside." She smiled happily and invited Bella in. However, her smile slowly faded when she saw a tall man with a sturdy build standing behind Bella.
The man looked handsome and mature in an all-black outfit. His gaze radiated alertness as he looked inside the room; he didn’t even spare a glance at her.
Amanda couldn’t help but look at the man closely; she became suspicious.
’Is this man Bella’s boyfriend?’
She started to wonder while looking at the man from head to toe several times, trying to figure out if she had seen him before. There was a sense of familiarity, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t recall where she had seen him.
Another question now popped up in Amanda Spencer’s mind.
’If this man is Bella’s boyfriend, what about Sean? Weren’t they dating?’ She silently took a deep sigh, feeling sour if what she thought was true.
She tried to push aside that worry while turning her gaze away from the man and looking at Bella. But when she saw Bella smile at her, she could no longer suppress her curiosity.
Amanda leaned closer to her and whispered, "Bella, sorry to ask, but who is the man behind you?" She casually asked. However, deep down in her heart, she was worried about her thoughts—that this man was Bella’s boyfriend or, worse, her husband.
If her assumptions were accurate, she would be in trouble for misleading her sister-in-law about Bella’s relationship with Sean.
...
Bella didn’t answer right away. Instead, she turned to look at Bryan and spoke to him for a few moments before closing the door and smiling at Amanda.
"Sister Amanda, that man is my bodyguard…" Bella said politely.
Amanda felt relieved to hear that. She immediately asked Bella to sit.
Bella sat on the chair opposite Amanda and continued, "He insisted on checking this room for my safety. I’m sorry if he seemed rude, sister..."
"Oh, it is fine, Bella. I’m happy to know your bodyguard does his job properly." Amanda flashed a sincere smile at Bella while trying to calm her mind. She was increasingly curious about Bella’s true identity.
Amanda remembered when she was in Nova City to see Bella for the first time; she saw her coming out of the hospital with a man. Her assistant had said that the man was Bella’s bodyguard. And now, she appeared here with a different bodyguard.
