In fact, she guessed correctly.
When Bella received a call from Louis, Kevin was taking a shower in the bathroom, and she asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter?”
“I’m outside your house. Come out and meet me right now.”
“I’m already asleep. If you have something to say, please meet me tomorrow.”
She hung up the phone, but Louis didn’t give up and called again, “If you don’t come out, then I’ll have to shout until you do.”
Bella noticed that he had drunk a lot of wine, afraid that he would really lose control and shout outside thus alert the in-laws, so she said angrily, “You do not shout. I’m going down now.”
She arrived outside the main gate quickly and caught a glimpse of Louis who was leaning against the street lamp. He really had drunk a lot of wine and she could smell his pungent wine from afar.
“What the hell are you doing?”
She questioned in a deep voice, looking back nervously, and was worried that Kevin could see that Louis had found her in the middle of the night. He would definitely be jealous again.
“I know all about it.”
“Know what?”
She frowned at him.
“Your everything”
Bella’s heart jumped and said calmly, “I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense here, so you should go back.”
She turned to leave, but Louis held her back, “Why? Why must you choose him? If you want to revenge, I can help you, but why?”
Bella was shocked and angry and shook his hand away, “What are you talking about?”
She wanted to flee, but Louis wouldn’t let her go, “Don’t hide anything from me anymore. Why would you prefer to face it hard by yourself but not let me share it for you? You know that I won’t complain no matter what I do for you as long as you ask.”
Pah…
Bella couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed him, choking, “How many times do I have to tell you? I’ll solve my own matter. Whether it’s past or present, I never want you to share anything for me, Mr. Hunter.”
Louis finally let go because of her cruel words. He looked so hurt. Bella sniffed and trotted away.
Alice watched them, and shed tears. Louis stood for a long time. She was right behind him for a long time, though he didn’t look back at her once, but she had gotten used to it.
“Where did you just run off to?”
Kevin had come out of the shower and was lying on the bed watching TV.
Her eyes sparkled as she replied, “I went for a run outside.”
“Are you stuffed?”
“A little.”
“That’s quite embarrassing. I would have myself stuffed.”
“It’s okay. I’d rather have myself stuffed.”
Kevin giggled, “Hurry up and take a shower, I’ll wait for you.”
“Why are you waiting for me?” She asked knowingly.
“What else can I do when I’m waiting for you in bed? That brat Alvin disturbed me this afternoon. I almost didn’t lose control and scolded him.”
Bella snorted, “Don’t be so shameless. Alvin was an orphan. Can yo show a little compassion?”
“So I endured it.”
In the middle of the night, Bella woke up with an unbearable thirst. She took a big sip of the boiled water by the bedside table, but she heard Kevin’s dreamy voice, “Why did you betray me… why did you leave me… Freya… why…”
She suddenly became nervous. After a gap of three years, he had accepted her feelings, yet he still couldn’t forget that woman’s betrayal. Bella couldn’t help but feel a little sad. She felt that she had hidden too much from Kevin, and she was becoming less confident that Kevin would be able to forgive her.
The next day, Bella struggled for a long time, but still decided to return to school. Although it would be a little awkward to face Louis, after all, it was the place where she had worked for three years.
She believed that Louis would be able to distinguish clearly between personal feelings and work.
Another teacher from the school had gone to France instead of her, and she didn’t feel any regret at all for losing this opportunity. Because she was able to get Kevin’s affection. It was more important than anything else.
In the middle of class, Alice only came to her, “I’m sorry.”
She knew why Alice apologized and glared at her angrily, “You’ve said it all. What’s the use of apologizing now?”
“I just couldn’t bear to see him so upset. Thinking that after I told him, he’d be a little more relieved, but who knows…”
“Who knew that not only was he relieved, but he impulsively came to my house to find me?”
“Did you see me?” Alice was surprised.
“I wouldn’t be able to see you standing back there, unless I was blind.”
“Then you’ll forgive me, right?”
Bella sighed and said in a bad mood, “I see if you’re going to just keep looking at him from a distance and not let him know.”
After work, they left the school together, and Alice suggested, “Let me buy you dinner as a treat.”
She nodded, “Good. I’ll have a good meal.”
Bella picked a very expensive restaurant, ordered a bunch of very expensive food. Alice gritted her teeth and said, “You are too wasteful and wicked.”
She grinned, “I often describe Kevin as being wicked.”
“Then you eat. If you don’t finish today, there will be troubles for you.”
Bella nodded, “Don’t worry. I’ll eat them all. I go to the bathroom.”
She got up and headed towards the restroom, and was surprised to meet Gillian.
“Aren’t you… aren’t you going to France?”
Gillian looked at her in shock, and in the next second, her face fell.
Bella felt really depressed. Why did she always meet people she didn’t want to meet every time she came out to eat? Last time she went to a family dinner and met Richard. At Yesterday’s dinner with Kevin, she met Louis. Today she met Gillian. It was like a tragedy.
“I have gone and back.”
“What do you mean?”
“I only promised you that I’d leave, not that I’d never come back.”
“You… you…”
Gillian was so angry that she was lost at words, and pointed at her and said, “You asked for this, you wait!”
She returned home in a fury, rushed into her room, pulled open a drawer to see that the tape recorder was gone, and soon she let out a terrifying roar…
“Dad, Mom, did Bella ever come back?”
She hysterically ran downstairs to question her parents.
Colin shook her head in confusion, “No, what happened?”
“My tape recorder’s missing. Who took it?”
Wilson felt guilty and picked up the newspaper by the table, said “You don’t remember where you put it, right? No one’s been to the house lately.”
“No way! I left it in the drawer in my room. Now I wish I was dead…”
She sat on the ground bawling. She was planning how to get close to Kevin these two days. Now Bella was back and the recording pen was also missing. It was such a thunderbolt from the clear sky and she couldn’t withstand it. She would have to control Bella.
Colin saw her daughter crying hard, and soothed her in panic, “Don’t cry. I will go look for it for you again.” She ran upstairs to find the recording pen.
Gillian was unreconciled. She suddenly crawled up and rushed out of the house.
She drove madly all the way to the Jones-Sharp Group, and rushed into Kevin’s office. Kevin was preparing to pack up his things to go home, suddenly glanced at her rushing in, said unhappily, “What are you doing here?”
“Brother-in-law, I need to talk to you.”
She stepped forward and wiped her tears in aggravation.
“What?”
“My sister lied to you. She married you for a very bad purpose, just to try to get back at my parents. She’s a bad woman.”
Kevin was briefly stunned, then he sneered very disdainfully, “Do you think I will believe your words?”
“You must believe what I say, because what I say is true. I’m not lying to you, and the only person in this world who wouldn’t lie to you is me.”
“Are you disgusting?”
Kevin glared at her in disgust, “Get out of here right now. I don’t want to listen to your nonsense here.”
“Why don’t you believe me? Bella is a liar. She was engaged to a fool ten years ago and once you help her fix our family, she will leave you and go into that fool’s arms!”
“Can’t you make up stories a little bit more convincing? Am I even worse than a fool? Would Bella leave me for a fool? It’s so funny.”
Seeing that he didn’t believe her at all, Gillian stomped in anxiety and annoyance, “What I said was true. I originally had evidence, but the evidence…”
“Just what happened to the evidence?”
“It’s gone…”
Kevin snickered again, “I’ve long heard that Wilson’s youngest daughter is very capable of playing tricks, and you really live up to your name.”
