"Love rival?" Bella propped her cheek with her left hand while tossing a blueberry into Justin's mouth with her right. "You, Ryan Hoffman, have a love rival? That's unheard of."

Justin scoffed derisively, "My sister is practically under house arrest with you. Apart from you and your female secretary, who does she even meet? She has no social life, so where could your love rival possibly come from? Her dreams?"

"That's right!" Ryan slammed his palm on the table, his voice cracking with urgency.

Recalling the previous night, Ryan heard his girlfriend murmuring another man's name, Ralph.

She called out another man's name in her dreams!

Ryan felt his heart shatter into fragments like broken glass.

"You don't mean my brother, Ralph, right?" Bella looked at him with a chilly gaze.

Justin froze, wondering how this was linked to Ralph Thompson.

Ryan's eyes widened, staring at Bella with admiration. "Bella, how did you know? Are you a psychic?!"

"Psychic, my foot."

Bella was beyond exasperated. "It's obvious from your expression. Last night, I noticed how you were staring at my brother. It was as obvious as a sore thumb. I immediately felt something was off. Mr. Hoffman, are you perhaps making a mountain out of a molehill? The Thompson men are all men of integrity, certainly not the type to be homewreckers. Don't see every man who chats with Carrie as a rival." "Ralph isn't that kind of person. Ryan, you shouldn't suspect Bella's brother," Justin said as he wrapped his arms around his petite partner, also finding Ryan's suspicions somewhat ridiculous.
