“We all saw it. Do you want to deny it? Anyway, no matter how anxious you are, you have to endure, and that’s it. I’m leaving.”
When Kevin returned to the hospital room, Bella was surprised and asked, “Don’t you go back with them?”
“I’m not going back. I’m staying here with you tonight.”
“There’s no place to sleep here.”
“I’m not sleeping. I’ll sit next to you.”
“No, you have work tomorrow, go back with them.”
“Work is not as important as you. That’s it. I’ll put you down.”
Kevin patted her shoulder lightly, but Bella said, “You’re telling me a story, right?”
“What?”
It was difficult for him, “You’re a three-year-old. What’s the point of listening to a story?”
“But I just want to hear it. You just tell me anything.”
Kevin thought, “Okay then, I’ll tell you the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.”
He was telling a story and falling asleep, but Bella wasn’t sleepy. Bella looked at his tired look and couldn’t help but smile, “Come on, let’s squeeze in and sleep together.”
“No.”
He shook his head firmly.
“Why?”
“I’m afraid I can’t control…”
She laughed and made fun of him, “Lustful man.”
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. It was a very sunny day. Bella was finally discharged from the hospital, and the Burne-Browns was also busy absconding.
Wilson had almost finished working the funds around. The family packed their bags and was about to leave for the airport when the doorbell suddenly rang.
He boldly went over to open the door, and as soon as he saw two people in police uniforms standing outside the door, he foresaw that things were in a bad way and feigned calmness and asked, “Who are you looking for?”
“May I ask if you are Wilson?”
“Yes.”
“Someone has reported you for business fraud, as well as leaking trade secrets, and the murder of Selina fifteen years ago. Please come with us to the police station.”
“You’ve got the wrong person, I didn’t commit business fraud, leak trade secrets, and commit murder. You’ve really got the wrong person.”
Wilson denied in panic, but the two policemen didn’t even listen to his explanation and forcibly dragged him into the police car and drove away.
Colin in the house as well as Gillian had been scared, and when she reacted, she immediately said, “Gillian, let’s run away.”
“Mom, what about Dad? Don’t we care about Dad anymore?”
“We can’t be bothered. If we don’t leave, we’ll all have to die. Kevin will definitely think of a way to screw us over.”
As soon as they left the villa, a few savage men stopped them, “Do you want to run? Get the hell out of my house and stay there!”
Gillian whimpered in fear, “Mom, what should we do? We can’t seem to escape.”
Colin was also overwhelmed with anxiety, and Gillian kept crying in her ears. Colin was momentarily upset when she yelled, “You just cry. How useless!”
Wilson was brought to the police station for investigation, while Colin and Gillian were placed under house arrest by the people sent over by Kevin. Next, he would seek justice for Bella, so that the wicked people would get their due punishment.”
The news of Wilson’s arrest soon spread like wildfire in B City, and although he was not an all-powerful figure, he naturally drew attention because he was involved in a murder case.
Bella naturally also learned the news, and knew that Kevin fulfilled her wish. She was very grateful. In the evening Kevin returned home, saw her tied apron and cooking in the kitchen, so he hugged around her waist, close to her neck and said, “Why do not lie down on the bed to rest? Are you fully recovered?”
“It’s nothing serious. I’m always in bed, and I’m about to get bored out of my mind.”
“Then why do you cook yourself?”
She turned around and looked at him imploringly and said, “In gratitude to you for seeking justice for me.”
Kevin smiled gently and said ambiguously against her forehead, “I don’t want this kind of repayment. I want something practical.”
Bella knew it in her heart, “How?”
“How about putting on a passionate show right in the kitchen?”
“Nasty.”
They hugged each other, and Bella said heartily, “Thank you, Kevin.”
“It’s too early to say thank you. The real show hasn’t started yet.”
Lena appeared untimely, “You just stop hugging each other, okay? We’re all starving.”
After dinner, Bella was dragged upstairs by Kevin on the pretext of having rest, and when he got upstairs, he hugged her and said, “Bella, what if I have to go on a business trip tomorrow?”
She replied woodenly, “Then you go ahead.”
“But what if I miss you?”
“You don’t want me to accompany you, do you?”
“Of course not, what I mean is… “Kevin gave her a meaningful glance.
Her face flushed, “But I haven’t fully recovered yet.” Knowing how inappropriate it was now, she still couldn’t help but put her hands around him.
“I’ll be gentle!”
He put her against the locker room wall and repeated, “Right now, okay?”
She didn’t say anything, just closed her eyes and kissed his lips voluntarily.
When it was all over and they had showered and were lying on the bed, Bella was a little drowsy. Kevin suddenly said, “Bella, when I come back from my business trip, let’s go to you to sweep your mother’s grave.”
“Why?” She suddenly woke up and asked, confused, “It’s not Tomb Sweeping Day.”
“I just want to go see your mother, and then I have something to say to her.”
“Say what?”
He scratched her nose, “You don’t need to know that.”
She said, “Alright then.”
This night, she slept very soundly. It was the most peaceful night in more than twenty years. She no longer had to carry a blood feud, and felt guilty for cheating Kevin.
The next day Kevin went on a business trip for five days. Bella looked forward to his return every day. She thought the sixth day he would come back, but he said on the phone that she had to wait.
Bella was so lost that she couldn’t speak, and could only urge him to take care of himself, and hurriedly hung up the phone.
In the evening, she was alone in the empty room, then watched Kevin’s horror movie Kuchisake onna. When halfway through it, she was afraid and turned off the TV, immediately called Kevin, “Kevin, when will you come back?”
Kevin asked teasingly over the phone, “What? Is that how you want me?”
“No, I’m afraid.”
“What are you afraid of?
“I just watched a very scary movie, and now I don’t even dare to open my eyes.”
In fact, Bella did dare not open her eyes, and when she did, it was as if she would see the woman in the movie wearing a red dress had her hair hanging loose, going around killing people with a pair of scissors.
“Don’t be afraid. You open your eyes and you might see someone who surprises you.”
She was even more horrified and lay under the covers complaining, “You’re not coming back. Don’t scare me. I’m hanging up.”
She hung up the phone, and just before she took a breath, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder, scaring her so much that she screamed and shivered all over.
“Bella…”
Hey, why was that voice so familiar, she flipped off the blanket, and after a brief moment of consternation, she suddenly jumped over, “Honey!!!”
They hugged each other tightly and Bella almost burst into tears, not for the sadness of course, but for a surprise.
“Why do you always come back in the middle of the night to scare me every time you go on a business trip?”
“Last time it was a temporary decision, but this time it’s a surprise to you.”
Bella looked at his handsome features and the lust in his eyes, and hugged his neck more tightly.
She wanted him too.
She wanted all of him.
He barely hesitated anymore and carried her to the couch.
He kissed her obsessively.
“Kevin….” She lay down on the couch, her voice trembling, “Shall we go to bed?”
He didn’t say anything, and now held her in his arms, practically rolling off the couch and onto the soft carpet.
“Right here.”
She’d really never seen him so excited before.
Kevin’s sturdy body was covered in sweat. He carried her to the bathroom and kissed her ears, his voice low, “Baby, remember, I love you so much.”
Her ears were red and she rested on his shoulder and bit him gently.
