Chapter 221: It's My Duty to Satisfy You_1

Edward Anderson smirked and scooped up a petrified Bella Scott. He looked down at her lips with a burning gaze, "What did you look for Kory today?"

Putting aside his initial annoyance and thinking back on some of the details, he knew Bella had purposely sought out Kory. Moreover, after leaving The Philadelphia Club, Bella had returned to the Detective Agency, so he could guess that she looked for Kory because of work.

What case had she accepted that involved Kory?

"I, I just missed him..." Bella stared at the man's approaching lips, before quickly changing her mind. "It was for work! I went to him to check on something. It's true, lying makes me a little puppy!"

Edward was satisfied with Bella's answer, but he still followed his heart's desire and pecked her lips lightly.

Bella's face inexplicably turned red. A little embarrassed, she hid in Edward's arms. Her heartbeat was racing uncontrollably, which wasn't a good sign.
