Amelia looked at her round, fair face in the full-length mirror, on the verge of tears with frustration. "I... I can't eat anymore! I'm skipping dinner tonight! When Stevenes back and seeslike this, he's going to be disgusted!” "You don't look like a pig!" Bella teased, pinching her little sister's arm. "Look at your arms and legs-they're still as thin as sticks! You're just pregnant, so your waistline has filled out a bit, which is perfectly normal!" Bella stood beside her in front of the mirror, her eyes filled with anticipation for the new life growing inside. She could not help but laugh as she joked, "If you start dieting now, not only will it affect you, but it'll also harm the baby. Even if you do manage to slim down, your belly will still get bigger and bigger every day. What do you think you'll look like then?" Amelia was puzzled. "What?" "With thin limbs and a big belly, you'll look just like a praying mantis!" Amelia's face turned red with embarrassment. "Bella! You're awful..." "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you." Bella gently hugged her. "Which girl doesn't care about her appearance? You've always dreamed of bing an actress too. I know this must be a difficult tfor you. But don't worry, once the baby is born, Cece and I will help you lose the weight. You're not someone who easily gains weight, so you'll slim down in no time.

The other day, I accidentally caught him staring at the photos you sent him, practically drooling over them." "Bella..." Amelia's delicate face flushed bright red, feeling so embarrassed.
"I heard from Aunt Celeste that Steven has officially asked for your hand in marriage to Wyatt." Bella smiled with satisfaction. "Steven has sacrificed everything for you; he even gave Wyatt his entire paycheck. And you know what Wyatt said? 'You're marrying my daughter, so I have to give you a big promotion and a raise. Plus, you're getting a massive dowry. I'm really losing out big time!"" Bella said while laughing.
Amelia chuckled along, but a worried look soon crossed her face. “But... Is Dad upset with Steven?" "Not at all! After Steven left, Wyatt couldn't help but let a little smile slip out. He's just pretending to be strict." Chapter 2150 1 "Bella..." Amelia bit her lip, her heart aching. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare, fearing it would hurt her sister's feelings.
"Amelia, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry about me. I'm fine.” Bella raised her hand, gently caressing her sister's small belly. Her gaze was warm and tender, but there was a hint of sadness in her voice. "Having your brother-in-law is enough for me." At that moment, her phone rang.

She knew he had gone out today to lead the charge against the Iverson Group, but deep down she did not have much hope.
Christopher was too cunning to leave anything behind. Would he really leave behind any incriminating evidence? Even if they didn't uncover much at least the investigation would bring negative publicity to the Iverson Group. "Ax," Bella answered the call, her voice calm. "You're callingin such a hurry-did you manage to gather any evidence of Christopher's embezzlement?" "Embezzlement evidence? Not yet." Axel took a deep breath, his tone suddenly turning sharp. "But we did find evidence of murder!" mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fiflO&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1 mmMwWLliI0fifl0&1 mmMwWLlilOfiflO&1
