Chapter 2098
Bella's back stiffened for fear. She wasn't very familiar with him. What could she lie about?
"I'm sorry, Mr. William. Don't be angry. I don't mean to question you. My parents' marriage was destroyed by a third party, and that's why I care about this matter." Bella didn't dare to offend him any more and quickly explained.
"Have you done eating?" Ben knew that she didn't mean to offend him, but even if she wasn't intentional, he still didn't like to be questioned.
"I've done. I'll tidy up." Then she stood up and quickly cleaned the table.
Yet Ben said indifferently, "Don't pack up now. Wait until you get your things and come back."
"Mr. William, are you really going to give me your key? You... why do you trust me?" Bella was almost short of breath. Ever since she was young, everyone in her family had remained suspicious about her. Thus she never expected that this man would actually trust in her.
"Would you do anything bad?" The man stood up, and his tall figure brought her much pressure. As he spoke, he walked towards her dangerously and asked in a deep voice.
Bella was so scared that her head went numb. She quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, I won't do anything bad, and I won't dare."
"I didn't expect you to have the guts." Ben looked down at her condescendingly and chuckled.
Bella felt that her heart almost stopped beating when his gaze fixed at her just now. "Oh my God, I can't stand it. "She thought. Could this man control his charm? If he keep turning on like this, he shouldn't blame her for doing bad things.
Her heartbeat accelerated. She had never felt this way, and such feeling was too strong to be ignored.
She lowered her eyes in sadness. Her life had already been a mess, and yet she could not control her heart and fell in love with this charming man so easily. She should not continue. Otherwise, she would only be injured in the end. She did not have the confidence to win this man's heart. "Why are you blushing again?" Ben noticed that this woman seemed to blush a lot. He only approached her, and her fair face was as red as an apple.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Bella was so taken aback that her breathing went laboured. She didn't even dare to raise her head to look into the man's eyes.
Ben stopped teasing her. He turned around and walked towards the door. Bella quickly followed him. The scene that they left the house together circled in Bella's mind. Why did it look like a couple going out?
Stop! She was overthinking again.
They couldn't be together. She promised that she would abandon love heartlessly and never get married. Her parents' disastrous marriage had lasted for many years, but was still over at the end. Was she going to jump into that trouble so quickly?
Thinking of all these years when her mother washed her face with tears day and night, threw things and cursed endlessly like a madwoman; thinking of her indifferent father, Bella couldn't help but trembling. There was nothing more sobering than these memories.
People said that she should hate her father and pity her mother. However, she knew that marital discord was not the fault of one person. As long as she could remember, Mother had been paranoid. She often flipped through Father's cell phone, ran to his company to follow him, hired someone to put a tracking device in his car, and even injured several female clients of him. Thus Father's feelings for Mother gradually faded. At first, Father took care of her and never mentioned divorce, but at that time, his love for Mother had gone.
Bella lowered her head, extremely depressed. Maybe all of this came from the fact that she was not a boy. If she were a boy, Grandma would definitely love her very much.
Ben noticed that the girl beside him seemed to get something on her mind, with her head lowering and her expression gloomy. She was fine just now. What happened?
After arriving at the garage, Ben opened the car door. Bella naturally went towards the back seat. Ben coldly looked over and said, "Sit in the passenger seat."
Bella was chilled by his words and her hand slipped. She quickly sat in the passenger seat. As soon as she sat in, she whispered, "This your girlfriend's exclusive seat. Maybe I shouldn't sit there."
"What? Do you think I'm your driver?" Ben was displeased.
"Ah? No, how would I dare?" Bella trembled for fear.
"Then why did you go to the back seat? If there are two people in a car, be them superior-subordinate relationship or strangers, you should sit in the passenger seat, showing your politeness as a friend." As Ben spoke, he started the car and drove out of the garage.
Bella knew nothing about these. She lowered her head in shame and kept what he said in her mind humbly.
They arrived at the bar. It was daytime, but there were still people working here.
When they were near the entrance, Ada happened to come out, with Bella's bag and clothes in her hand.
"Ada?" Bella's eyes lit up and she quickly walked over.
Ada looked up and saw Bella. She wasn't that happy but still forced a smile, "Bella, you're here."
"Ada, why are you here? Why do you have my bag? Bella asked curiously. Instead of going home last night, Ada went out with a man. She went back to change clothes in the morning. But as Bella asked, she quickly replied, "I came here to get your bag and clothes. You were drunk last night. I knew you couldn't bring them with you." Content
"Thank you, Ada. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I... I probably won't work here anymore." Bella looked at her gratefully.
Ada looked up and saw the man standing on the steps bathing in the sunlight. He was tall his handsome face almost made her feel dizzy. An uncomfortable feeling surged in her heart.
She quickly asked curiously, "Bella, is that your boyfriend?"
"No, he's my neighbor. We live in the same building." Bella answered honestly.
"He is so handsome. What's his name? Can you introduce him to me? I think he will come here to drink too. This is very important to me. We need to maintain our relationship." Ada looked at her pleadingly and said.
Bella was stunned for a moment. For some reason, she did not want Ada to know Ben.
"Alright, let's go. Let me introduce you." Although Bella was unwilling, she thought that Ada had helped her, so she shouldn't be so stingy.
Ben stood on the stairs, with his
gaze fixed on Bella. He didn't take a
single glance at Ada, because though she was also a beauty, there was an air of sophistication about her. In contrast, Bella was just like
the pure and innocent girl living next door.
