The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2097

In an instant, Justin felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest. His large hand on the doorframe suddenly clenched tightly.

"Why?" Wyatt was utterly baffled. "Justin is already the best version of himself, thanks to you. You two have a solid relationship and have been living together for so long. Why not just make it official with a marriage certificate? That would legitimize everything and make things a lot easier to manage."

Bella pursed her lips and said, "Justin and I don't need a marriage certificate to validate our relationship."

"How could it not matter? In my opinion, the most concrete expression of love is giving the person you love irreplaceable status!"

Wyatt's eyes lit up, and his emotions stirred. "I've only registered for marriage with your mother, and she was the only special person in my heart. She was the true matron of the Thompson household. Even though your mother has been gone for many years, her place in my heart has never changed; she will always be my wife!

"Now, when you're out, people will only call you Ms. Thompson or Mr. Salvador's girlfriend. You love Justin so much; don't you want to be rightfully known as Mrs. Salvador? Isn't that what you've been longing for?"

Bella lowered her gaze, remaining silent.

"Bella, are you bothered by the fact that you two were once divorced? Is there any lingering resentment in your heart?" Wyatt asked worriedly.

Justin's heart ached with pain. He wasn't sure if Bella's wounds had healed, but he knew his had not.
