The betrayal?

"Bella, please don't be sad." Joe's voice reached her from a distance, laced with concern. "Maybe it's not what we are thinking. They may be just friends."

Bridget nodded in agreement, trying to offer some reassurance. "Yes, Bella, don't overthink it. He is a big shot. He has many clients and friends. Maybe she is one of them."

Bella tried to take comfort in their words, but the sight of Theodore holding hands and sharing a warm moment with another woman was too much. Her mind raced with questions and doubts. She had believed in his feelings for her, but now she felt a pang of betrayal.

As Bella struggled with her emotions, Joe and Bridget exchanged worried glances, determined to lift her spirits.

Bridget leaned closer, her voice soft and soothing. "Let's not jump to conclusions, Bella. We'll talk to Theodore and find out what's really going on. Until then, let's try to enjoy our evening."
