He spoke so loudly that it was impossible for Kevin to hear him. Kevin was no longer as calm as he had been earlier, but looked livid.
Bella took a deep breath and jumped down with her eyes closed, and the muscular man held her really tightly.
She struggled, “Don’t hold me too tight. I can’t breathe soon.”
The muscular man loosened up a bit and then started instructing her on learning how to swim. He touched Bella’s back every now and then, and Kevin was raged, diving in the pool.
He was even jealous of Bella talking to Louis alone, so how could he remain calm to watch a strange man touch his wife?
The muscular man didn’t even realize what was going on before Kevin punched hard on his cheek.
There was screaming in the swimming pool, and all the people didn’t know why they had a fight. The people obviously didn’t hear the quarrel.
Bella even choked, but Kevin didn’t care her. He just wanted to teach the man a lesson. This muscular man was not a pushover either. When he reacted, he fought with Kevin. Unfortunately, he was no match for Kevin. After a while, he became Kevin’s defeated opponent and was dragged up by the person in charge of the swimming pool.
After that, Kevin thought of Bella, but couldn’t find her. Looking down, he found her even sink to the bottom of the water. He panicked, pulled her up, quickly held her to the shore and gave her emergency artificial respiration. The beauties were petrified, looking at them for a while, without understanding what was going on.
Bella finally woke up, spat a few mouthfuls of water, weakly looking at the man caring about her in front of her, angrily said, “Are you crazy? Why do you beat him?”
Kevin was very worried just now, but he didn’t expect that the first thing she would do when she woke up was to scold him. He was so annoyed that he lifted her up, “It looks like you didn’t drink enough water here!”
“Ah-”
Bella screamed and immediately begged for forgiveness, “Honey, I’m wrong.”
Kevin was smart and said, “Do you want me to forgive you?”
“Yes.”
She replied timidly.
Kevin put her down, “If you want me to forgive you, then shout I love Kevin now.”
“Here?”
Bella swallowed and was quite embarrassed. There were dozens of people here, and the women who had just made fun of her for being a dinosaur…
“Yes.”
“Does it have to be here? Can’t we go somewhere else? Let’s go home and talk to you all night.”
“No, you must do it right here. Hurry up.”
Kevin was determined to make a fool of her, and with her teeth clenched, Bella closed her eyes and yelled, “I love Kevin-”
The originally noisy swimming pool suddenly quieted down. Dozens of people were looking at her. In addition to the beautiful women and the muscular man who had just taught her how to swim, all of them were looking at her in horror, as if she had just escaped from a mental hospital.
“Are you satisfied?”
Bella lowered her voice to ask Kevin, really feeling ashamed.
Kevin smiled smugly, “OK, I’ll forgive you for being so sincere.”
He turned around, suppressing a smile as he walked towards the locker room.
Out of the swimming pool, Bella was very depressed, while the person next to her was in a very good mood.
“How can you make me look that bad in a public place when I’m a teacher?”
The more she thought about it, the more reluctant Bella would be.
“How can you call it making a fool of yourself? It’s a sign of love. You should be happy to have the opportunity to confess your love to me.”
“It’s so disgusting. Why don’t you go out in public and confess your love to me?”
“My love for you is known all over the world, so I don’t need to confess it.”
Look, he was like bargaining for stolen goods. Bella was speechless.
On Saturday morning, Alice asked her out for coffee together, and they met at the Blue Moon Cafe.
“Is it okay to order the Blue Mountain for you?”
“Yes.”
Bella nodded, “Why are you asking me out for coffee in a good way?”
“There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“What is it?”
“I’m thinking of quitting.”
“What?”
Bella was horrified, “Why?” She first thought of Louis, “Is it because of him?”
Alice shook her head, “No. It’s my mother who feels worried about me staying here alone and insisted on letting me go abroad.”
Alice’s parents had moved to Canada early and opened a Chinese restaurant there. It was said that the business was quite good. Alice didn’t want to emigrate, so she had been living alone since her college. Bella thought she would stay here for the rest of her life, never thinking that one day, she would propose to leave.
“What about Louis?”
“My staying or going has nothing to do with him at all.”
“You like him, don’t you?
“I do like him, but he doesn’t like me.”
“How do you know he doesn’t like you if you haven’t confessed?”
“Do you need a confession to validate this kind of thing?”
Alice’s question caused Bella to be speechless. Indeed, Louis’s feelings for her were simply known to everyone.
“Then you can’t choose to run away from it either, right?”
“I’m not running away.”
“Come on, I know you well. Do you swear to God that your leaving isn’t because of Louis?”
Bella was sulky and looked askance out the window, listening to Alice saying, “It’s really not because of him. I’ve gotten over it now. I can’t force him to love me. Since he doesn’t like me, I have to have my own new life…”
Snap. The coffee cup in Bella’s hand fell to the floor, the thick black liquid staining her white slacks.
“What’s wrong?” Alice was taken aback.
“I have something to do. I gotta go.”
Bella didn’t say anything, picked up her bag and rushed out of the cafe. Just he moment she looked askance at the window, she saw a familiar figure, so she couldn’t wait to chase after him.
The figure was 200 meters in front of the place. As she accelerated the pace, the figure was more and more clear. She was very sure that the person was definitely someone she knew.
Perhaps sensing someone catching up behind him, he suddenly walked faster to hide into a shopping mall. Bella followed hard after him. So, in a large shopping mall, a man and a woman played a game of hide-and-seek.
Bella was determined to catch up. So even if she was exhausted, she also insisted on chasing him. The mall security saw a weak woman chasing a man, and he thought it was the man who robbed the woman’s things. So he rushed up and blocked the man for Bella.
Bella bent over and gasped for a few breaths, then slowly moved towards the man who had his back to her but was caught by the security guard, reached out to his shoulder, and said word for word, “Conrad, long time no see.”
