Kevin acted coldly in the face of Wilson’s enthusiasm, but instead, he was suddenly nice to Bella.
He walked up to her, reached out his arms around her waist, and said gently, “Let’s go in.”
“Good.”
Bella smiled stiffly, uncomfortable with his sudden gentleness.
His hand on her waist forced her back to straighten. He might be aware of her being uneasy. Kevin smiled in amusement and took hold of her hand instead. The moment he entwined his fingers with hers, Bella heard her heart beating quickly.
Bella originally worried that the untamed man would reluctantly cooperate. But the moment, it seemed she thought too much.
His gentle tone, the loving eyes, the attracting smile were enough to make Wilson and his wife startled.
She was led into the living room by him. Until he let go of her hand, she realized that her hand was sweaty.
It wasn’t because she was afraid that Colin would recognize something wrong, but Kevin’s unexpected acting skills were too awesome.
“Kevin, please have some tea.”
Although Wilson was also a merchant, he was just an ordinary small businessman, and his achievements was insignificant compared to the asset-rich Jones-Sharps.
Right now, it was hard to believe that the person Wilson humbly serving tea with both hands was his son-in-law Kevin.
“Sis, welcome home with Kevin.”
Today really was a special day. Gillian who had been calling her by her first name since she was a child had actually unprecedentedly called her sis. This ‘surprises’ really came one after another.
Bella smiled slightly, “How have you been?”
“Not good. Once you get married, I’m simply bored. Go, let’s go elsewhere to talk.”
Gillian affectionately took her arm. With a meaningful glance at Kevin, she strode out of the living room and into the back garden.
Without Kevin at present, Gillian naturally didn’t need to act anymore. She resumed her former brutal rudeness and harshly questioned, “Aren’t you too capable? You’ve even managed to get song well with the rumored cold-blooded and ruthless devil. It seems that you are like your mother. It’s really enviable.”
Facing Gillian’s sarcastic provocation, Bella had no anger, but instead smiled generously and patiently explained, “It’s not that I’m capable, but the rumors are untrue。 Kevin is not cold-blooded and ruthless. He’s as good to women as his look, and definitely a completely good man. Are you regretting that you shouldn’t have let me have such an opportunity?”
Gillian didn’t admit it, but looked repentant, “You’re lying. If he’s a good man, why would he divorce frequently?”
“Divorce doesn’t mean his fault. He was born in a rich family. How many women who marry him aren’t aiming at the money? When he knew the initial motives of those women, divorce was natural and inevitable.”
“So if he knows that you marry him also for money, would your marriage have come to an end?”
“Are you trying to see me abandoned as soon as possible or do you want to be his eighth bride?”
Bella mocked. She was never hysterical, but what she said was sharp.
“I… I’m not!”
Bella had clearly seen what Gillian was thinking, yet Gillian was still reluctant to admit it.
“It’s good then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Kevin won’t be interested in you.”
After saying that, she walked away. Gillian who had never been humiliated felt disgraced at that moment…
