At three o’clock that afternoon, Bella rushed back to the F city, didn’t go to her uncle’s house, but went directly to the hospital.
She carried fruits to the hospital and unexpectedly found Quintin also here. When her aunt saw her, she was exceptionally happy, “Bella, how did you come back?”.
“Uncle called to tell me. How are you doing?”
“I’m fine, getting a little cold. I didn’t expect to trouble you all coming here.”
Mika looked askance at Quintin, and then at her niece.
Only then did Bella say to Quintin, “Thank you for coming to see my aunt.”
Quintin feigned anger, snorting, “Did you just see me?”
“Of course I’ve seen you already, but I’m here to see my aunt, so I can’t leave my aunt out to say hello to you first, right?”
Quintin giggled, “I’m kidding. Do you think I will be jealous of our aunt?”
They all laughed at each other. Quintin looked at the watch on his wrist, “I have a meeting in the company, and I gonna go. We have dinner together tonight.”
Bella nodded, “Good.”
After he went out, Mika held her niece’s hand and said, “Quintin is really a good man. Last night he learned that I was sick, he came to visit me at once, and also paid my medical expenses.”
Armand interjected, “Yes, I have never seen such a kind-hearted person. Bella, you can’t let him down.”
Bella was embarrassed. Her uncle and aunt still didn’t know about her and Kevin, while she didn’t know how to say to them, so she tactfully said, “I’ll think about it.”
“What else will you consider? It’s hard to find a man like Quintin, who doesn’t mind that you’ve been married or that you can’t have children, so what else are you picky about!”
When she saw her aunt love Quintin so much, she simply confessed, “He is good, but the man I love is Kevin.”
“What?”
Armand and Mika both firmly opposed the further involvement of Bella and Kevin. Her uncle said, “Bella, as the old saying goes, if you suffer a setback, you will learn a lesson. You should learn from your mistakes. What’s good about Kevin except that he’s rich? Is Quintin’s family not rich? His family background is no worse than that of Kevin.”
“That’s right. You think about how they kicked you out in the first place. Now have you forgot what you suffered before?”
Bella sighed, “Aunt, nobody kicked me away. I left by myself. Kevin almost knelt down and begged me not to leave, but I left. In fact, I am sorry for him.”
God, Mika rubbed her forehead and said to Armand, “Look, I told you that as soon as she went to B City, Kevin would definitely bewitch her. What do you think? I got you, didn’t I?!”
Armand coldly rebuked his niece, “If you want to get back together with Kevin, you’ll never have an uncle.”
Bella couldn’t communicate with them, so she texted Kevin as she lay in bed at night.
“Are you asleep yet?”
“Nope.”
“Do you miss me?”
“Nope.”
“True or false?”
“Is it important? What if it’s false?”
“If you don’t, I’ll go to bed. If you do, I’ll talk to you again.”
After waiting for a while, Kevin only replied, “I do.”
She was grinning from ear to ear when she saw the message, and felt was sweeter than honey.
“I’ll tell you this time I can’t go back.”
“Why?”
“My uncle and aunt are firmly opposed to me getting involved with you again. They now like Quintin so much.”
Kevin turned suddenly angry, and regretted very much in his heart that he should not have let Bella go back!
“And will you listen to them?”
“I dare not disobey them … When you abandoned me, they took me in.”
“When did I abandon you?”
“Hey, don’t say it. Anyway, my uncle has made a solemn statement that if I get back together with you, he will break it off with me.”
“Then break it off. He is not your father, so why should he interfere with who you are with?”
Bella didn’t reply to him, and Kevin couldn’t calm down and quickly called over but was prompted that her phone was off.
She was deliberately making him anxious to make him feel a sense of insecurity towards her.
Bella didn’t expect Kevin to chase her to F city the next day at noon.
When she went to the airport to pick him up, Bella’s eyes almost popped out, and she helplessly asked “Why did you come here?”
“Grab you!”
Kevin grabbed her hand and said, “Come back with me.”
Bella struggled to get away, “No, my aunt is still sick. Do you want me to leave them and run away with you? What are you joking about?”
“So what do you want?”
“If you really want to take me back, then go and get my uncle’s permission, and if he agrees, I’ll go with you right away.”
Kevin sighed helplessly, “Take me.”
Sitting in the cab, Bella reminded him, “You can be prepared to have your head broken.”
“Stop the car.”
Kevin suddenly shouted.
“What for? Do you want to quit and desert?”
Bella thought he was shocked by her words.
“Buy something.”
Kevin helplessly looked at her.
When they came to their uncle’s house with shopping bags, Armand and his wife were shocked. Obviously not expecting Kevin to suddenly appear, they gave him that attitude, and Armand went out of the house without saying anything, while Mika asked coldly, “Why do you come?”
Kevin took a deep breath and replied with a smile, “Auntie, I heard you were sick, so I came to see you.”
“I’m sorry to bother you.”
Mika indifferently turned around and went towards the back room.
Kevin glanced askance at Bella, who helplessly shrugged, indicating that there was nothing she could do.
Kevin was spurned. But since he was here, they had to serve a meal to him. Mika went to the door and said to her husband who was smoking at the door, “Armand, go and buy some food.”
Bella pulled Kevin and asked him to go and say something nice to his aunt to coax her and try to make a good impression on her.
Kevin wasn’t plausible. He could be cold but couldn’t coax people. He lowered his voice and said, “I can’t even coax you. How can I coax your aunt?”
“Why could Quintin do that?”
Bella’s words made Kevin speechless. Before he could speak, he saw Armand running into the room in a panic, “It’s doomed. Quintin is coming.”
As soon as she heard that Quintin was coming, the only thought that flashed through Bella’s mind was that she couldn’t let them meet here, or else it would be over.
She hurriedly pulled Kevin into her room and solemnly said to him, “Don’t come out, if you do, my relationship with you will be exposed.”
Kevin’s face fell, and he asked in a deep voice, “Is my relationship with you shameful?”
“Don’t misinterpret what I mean, okay. You know I don’t mean that.”
“Then don’t hide it. I don’t like sneaking around like that.”
“Bella, Bella, have you gotten up yet? Quintin is coming.”
Auntie knocked on the door, and Bella was so anxious as she assured Kevin, “As soon as the new product is launched successfully next Monday, I immediately confess to him clearly, okay?”.
She said, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed Kevin heavily on the face.
Bella went out of the room when Quintin teased her, “It’s so late, but you’re still sleeping. You’re so lazy. Who will like you in addition to me?”
She tidied her hair awkwardly, “Why do you come over at this time? What’s up?”
“I’ve just finished dealing with the company’s business, and I’m looking for you for a meal. It’s rare for you to come back to F City, but I’m racing against time to be with you.”
Mika smiled, “Soon the work over there in B City will be finished, and you will have plenty of time to spend together then.”
Kevin listened to the conversation outside through the door angrily. If he wasn’t in fear of Bella getting angry, he really wanted to rush out and tell all the people that Bella was his and no one could have designs on her!
Quintin dragged Bella out to eat, but Bella missed Kevin in her aunt’s house and had no appetite. So she managed to grab at any excuse to go home but was told that Kevin left.
She hurriedly wanted to chase after him, but her uncle pulled her, “Your aunt is still sick. Do you just leave her like this?”
Bella pointed outside, “But Kevin …”
“He is a grown man. Are you still afraid that he will get lost?”
Look at the aunt weakly sitting on the sofa, Bella finally didn’t bear to go, and called Kevin, but his phone was off. It seemed that he was really angry.
Bella made several phone calls in the afternoon, but Kevin didn’t turn on the phone. After dark, she thought of calling Lena. It rang and Lena quickly answered, “Hello, Bella?”
“Lena, has your brother gone home yet?”
“Well, he’s back. He’s in the study. What’s up?”
“Will you put him on the phone?”
“Oh, okay, you wait a moment.”
Lena came straight to the study. A moment later, she said in a low voice to the phone, “Sister-in-law, my brother doesn’t answer the phone. Do you have a fight?”
Bella was lost and sighed, “Hey, it’s a long story. Forget it, I’ll go back tomorrow to talk to you.”
The next day, Bella took the morning flight back to B city. As soon as she stepped off the plane, she didn’t even go home but went directly to the company. Kevin saw her without surprise, and coldly asked, “What is the matter?”
“How did you leave yesterday? Don’t you know I’m worried if you don’t answer my calls?”
Kevin snorted, “You’re dating your new boyfriend. Do you have time to worry about me?”
“I’m sorry. I’m just thinking of the overall interests. If I didn’t want to get the product launched on Monday, would I have to reluctantly leave you alone to suffer?”
“Stop fooling me, Bella. I wasn’t born yesterday. You can’t fool me with your honeyed words.”
