Even the worldly-wise Edward Anderson couldn't hide his momentary panic when he saw Bella Scott.
Brynn Williams noticed something was off about Edward's expression, and when she looked up, she saw Bella.
At that moment, she panicked too, not knowing how to handle the situation.
She had been too impulsive today, following Edward into his bedroom in a heated moment, and when she saw the man so close, she couldn't help but confess her feelings to him.
How could she have lost her cool after admiring him for so many years, and made such an irreversible mistake tonight?
Edward reacted the fastest. Without hesitation, he threw Brynn at Bella: "I've always said Brynn can't be trusted. She actually snuck into my room to steal something. Since she's your friend, I won't hold this against her. Just tell her to leave!"
Luckily, the soundproofing was good in his bedroom, and since Brynn had locked the door earlier, Bella shouldn't have heard their conversation.
