My Convicted Wife is My Mate (Bella and Kane) novel Chapter 30

chapter 26-1
BELLA’S POV

Payday finally came, and after collecting my envelope, I decided it was time for Kane to have a phone of his own. It wasn’t just about convenience. It was about safety too. If something happened, I wanted to be able to reach him.

He didn’t agree, of course.

“It’s fine that I don’t have a phone,” Kane said calmly as we walked down the busy street toward the electronics shop.

“You need one,” I replied “Nowadays, everyone has a phone. It’ll be easier for companies to contact you when you apply for jobs.”

He gave a quiet grunt, like he wasn’t convinced.

I tried to lighten the mood. “Who knows, maybe you’ll follow Tara’s advice and become an actor or model. You’ll need agents and directors calling you.”

Kane snorted. “Wolves shouldn’t be bothered about stuff like that,”

That word “wolves” caught my attention. He rarely mentioned anything about his pack or his past. My curiosity got the better of me.

“Is that how your pack is? Are they from around here?” I asked softly.

He didn’t respond. His expression stayed unreadable. His eyes stayed straight ahead. I noticed how his jaw tightened a little bit.

“It’s okay,” I said with a small smile. “You don’t have to talk about it.”

He said nothing, but I could feel the tension rolling off him.

“Let’s just focus on the phone,” I said quickly.

He narrowed his eyes at ,e. “The one I don’t need.”

I sighed but smiled back. “It’ll be convenient for us, Kane. If one of us gets home late, or if something happens, we can call each other.”

He studied me for a moment, then nodded once. “Fine. Let’s get the phone.”

We reached the electronics store, and I pushed the glass door open. A bell chimed overhead, and we stepped in. The place was filled with bright lights and lots of people.

Kane immediately tensed. He stayed close behind me but far from the people shopping. He stood still. His eyes scanned the store like he was assessing threats instead of phones.

I guided him toward a wall display filled with budget-friendly models. These were the ones I’d researched.

“They’re not as fancy as the newer ones,” I told him, trying to sound cheerful. “But they’ve got Wi-Fi and all the basics.” I rubbed my arm awkwardly. “When I earn a bit more, maybe I’ll…”

“This model is good,” he interrupted.

I blinked. “You haven’t even-”

Before I could finish, he picked up the sample phone and began flipping through its settings like he’d done it a hundred times.

His fingers moved fast. He even opened the camera app and adjusted its focus. Then he started talking about RAM, processors, and storage.

I stared at him. “You sound like a tech expert.”

He shrugged. “I learn fast.”

Before I could say more, I heard a familiar voice.

“Bella?”

I turned to see who had called my name.

Jane Hudson stood there, perfectly dressed as always. She was holding several shopping bags. Nina was beside her.

Great.
