Looking at Bella’s tears, Kevin was sad. He reached out and tidied the hair at her temples and said sadly, “I just want to be alone for a few days to cool down for now. I won’t leave you alone. I’ll come back to pick you up after I’ve calmed down.”
He gently stroked her cheek and gently wiped her tears, “Even though I’m so discouraged right now, I’ve never thought of abandoning you. So you just wait for me.”
Kevin leaned over and kissed her forehead and slowly turned towards the car. The moment the door opened, Bella suddenly rushed forward at a gallop, and hugged his waist from behind, “Don’t go … Don’t leave me … even for a minute …”
Bella stuck to his back and cried sadly, “Where there is you is my home. Without you, I will not even know where this place is. Don’t let me be alone anymore. I have been alone for many years.”
Kevin suddenly was soft-hearted. He turned around and held Bella’s tearful face, and said sadly, “Okay, I’ll take you away.”
Just like that, Kevin took Bella away.
He fulfilled his original promise. Where there was he was her home.
They arrived at a villa by sea. Kevin opened the door. It was very exquisitely decorated, not much worse than the Cloud Mansion. He pointed to the sofa, “You rest for a while. I’m going out to do some business. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay.”
Bella nodded lightly and watched his figure disappear in front of her.
Returning back to the villa, she immediately took out her mobile phone and dialed the home phone. The one who answered the phone was Lena, and once she heard Bella’s voice, she choked, “Bella, where are you?”
“Lena, you tell mom to answer the phone.”
“Mom’s sad right now and has locked herself in her bedroom.”
She thought for a few seconds, “Then I’ll dial her number.”
Just about to hang up the phone, Lena asked urgently, “Bella, is it true that you and my brother will never come back again?”
“No. Don’t worry.”
Hearing her resolute reply, Lena fell a little relieved.
Bella dialed Blanche’s number and it rang for a long time before she answered, “… Hello?”
As soon as she heard the hoarse voice, Bella was heartbroken, “Mom, are you still sad? Don’t be sad. I’m with Kevin now, and I’ll do my best to make him forgive you and dad.”
A brief silence was followed by the suppressed cries of Blanche, “Bella, I’m shameful to answer your call now. You must be as disappointed as Kevin. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry …”
“Don’t say that mom. I don’t blame you. Although I don’t agree with what you did, I can also understand your pain. I won’t forget that you and dad who have always loved me as your daughter. I will definitely resolve the resentment in Kevin’s heart, and will bring your son to you intact.”
Blanche was deeply shocked. What could be much warmed than this to her at the moment? She said gratefully, “Thank you. Bella, thank you. My son is right. You are a warm child. The Jones-Sharps can have a daughter-in-law like you, and it’s a blessing that we’re honored to have.”
“It is also a blessing for me to be your daughter-in-law. I won’t be prejudiced against you because of what happened today. Kevin is just angry right now. When he calms down in a few days, he will slowly understand your hardship. So before your son comes home, take care of your health. I will call you every day and report his recent situation. ”
“Alright.”
She was depressed, but after receiving the phone call from Bella, she suddenly felt better. Blanche thought she would never forget Bella’s efforts to the Jones-Sharps today.
After hanging up the phone, Bella went to the beach alone, gazing at the sea in front of her and thinking a lot. Was she sad? How could she not be sad and lost? Did she want to leave? She did she want to leave. But could she leave? She couldn’t leave.
She had countless reasons to leave, but she couldn’t leave because of the man she loved so much. She promised him that no matter what happened, she wouldn’t leave him as Freya did.
Even if life was full of sadness, she still wanted to keep her promise. She and Freya were different people. She would not choose to run away in the face of difficulties. Her determination grows stronger with each failure.
She wouldn’t let go of her hand until she had to. Even if she was bruised and battered, she would try her best to hold on to it. Who else could withstand the ruthlessness of fate than her?
Now in such a situation, if she left, it would bring more suffering to Kevin. She could not let him hurt. So she could press all the grievances at the bottom of her heart, be a selfless woman, maintain their own family, and maintain the relationship between her husband and in-laws, which were her responsibilities as a wife and a daughter-in-law.
She had been standing by the sea until she heard footsteps behind her and a jacket was draped over her, only then did she came back to earth from the woodiness.
“Back?”
Gazing at the tall man standing before her, she tried to manage a smile, not going to argue with him when he was so tired, even if she had a good reason.
“Yes. I got you food. Let’s go.”
He took her hand and stepped on the soft sandy beach, walking back to the villa.
There was a pile of packed food on the villa’s dining table, and Bella glanced at them slowly, all of which were her favorites. He finally knew what she liked to eat.
She was glad, but also hoped that he did that not because he felt guilty about her.
“Eat this.”
Kevin handed her a box of curry and pulled out a pair of chopsticks, and Bella took it, taking a bite.
“Is it delicious?”
“Yeah.”
“Then eat more.”
“Aren’t you eating?”
“I’ve already had dinner.”
Kevin actually lied. He hadn’t eaten anything because he didn’t have any appetite.
“Next time, don’t take this home. I’ll just cook it myself.”
“Okay.”
He nodded and watched her eating tenderly.
No one mentioned what had happened during the day. Kevin didn’t say anything and Bella didn’t ask. It was the understanding between them.
“I’m full.”
Bella stood up, tidied up the messy table, turned around and was about to left when Kevin grabbed her wrist.
“Bella, I …”
“Never mind.”
Before Kevin could finish, Bella quickly interrupted. She knew what he wanted to say.
“Why?”
He looked deeply at her and she replied leisurely, “Because love is sincere, and we understand each other’s sincerity, so we don’t need to say the words sorry.”
Kevin was stunned. Obviously, Bella’s words surprised him. He thought that what happened during the day must have caused her a deep misunderstanding, but he didn’t expect that she would say, ‘Because love was true, and they knew each other’s true heart, so there was no need to say sorry.
He hugged her and leaned against her hair and said, “Aren’t you scared?”
“A little.”
“I don’t need to say sorry, but I must thank you. Thank you for staying by my side at this time.”
“I’m the one who should say thank you for not leaving me in a place without you.”
Outside the window was the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, and inside was the image of them getting hurt holding each other tightly.
Celeste stepped through the doors of B Middle School for the first time to come and see her son of course. She dressed as a noblewoman, and went straight to the teachers’ office, where there were only three or two teachers at this time. Alice got up and asked, “Hello, who are you looking for?”
“Where is Mr. Hunter?”
“Mr. Hunter is out. What do you want with him?”
“Where is his office? I’ll go over and wait for him.”
Alice led her to a restroom and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Hunter doesn’t like guests waiting in his office. Please wait here.”
Celeste’s face suddenly fell, “Do you know who I am?”
Alice replied respectfully, “I don’t know who you are, but whoever you are, you are treated equally with the other guests.”
“How do you know so much about Mr. Hunter’s preferences? What’s your relationship?”
“We’re colleagues. He is my superior.”
Celeste snorted, “I think it’s more than that. You’re talking in a tone that’s just like his girlfriend.” She sized Alice up from head to toe, “If that’s the case, Mr. Hunter’s taste is not good enough.”
Alice was not a good-tempered person. Seeing the noblewoman in front of her speaking aggressively, she retaliated very rudely, “You don’t look like a very laid back person, so don’t speculate about other people’s relationships.”
She turned to leave, and Celeste snapped coldly, “Stop.”
“Is there anything else?”
“Make me a cup of coffee.”
“Sorry, I’m almost done with class. If you want coffee, there’s a coffee shop across the street from the school.”
“You …”
Celeste was so angry with her. She had never been so ignored before, and glanced at the teacher’s badge she was wearing on her chest, Alice. She remembered this name.
She took out your cell phone and dial her son’s number, “You brat, come back to the school immediately. Your mother is being bullied.”
Louis received the call and returned to the school quickly. When he saw his mother in the lounge, he smiled and asked, “Who was bold and bullied our beautiful and noble Ms. Taylor?”
