After Bella hung up the phone, she apprehensively stayed at the cemetery, waiting for Kevin to come over.
Twenty or so minutes later, Kevin arrived at a gallop, and as soon as he saw Bella, he embraced her into his arms and asked worriedly, “Is there anything wrong?”
Bella shook her head, “No.” Only then did she dare to look around and say with fear, “I was really scared.”
“I’m the one who’s scared.”
Kevin straightened out Bella’s hair around her ear, “Next time don’t come out alone. I was worried when I got your call.”
They went down the hillside by side. Kevin brought over the driver to drive away Bella’s car, while Bella sat in Kevin’s car, biting her lips and muttering, “Maybe it’s my illusion. I am scared by Richard after last time.”
Kevin looked solemn, “Whether it is your illusion, I will arrange two people to follow you since tomorrow. Prevention is better than cure.”
“You don’t have to. I will not go anywhere else except the company and home. It is special today. Next time I come to the mother’s cemetery with you.”
“No, for the safety of our children, you must listen to me this time.”
Kevin was very insistent. Bella couldn’t change his mind and could only agree, “Then whatever, you can arrange it.”
Bella originally thought that Kevin said it casually, but did not expect him to arrange it. After that day, wherever Bella went, she was accompanied by two fierce men. Bella was not used to it at first, but she managed to get used to it after a few days.
As long as the children in Bella’s belly were given birth safely, Bella was willing to try everything she didn’t want to try in life.
Near the end of the work on Tuesday afternoon, Bella came to Kevin’s office and proposed, “Honey, let’s go eat the rice-flour noodles later?”
“Why are you eating that again?”
Kevin raised an eyebrow. He had accompanied her to eat rice-flour noodles about ten times in the past half month.
“I want to eat, please, go …”
Bella pulled Kevin’s arm to pamper him. Since Bella was pregnant, she favored all noodles, especially the rice-flour noodles in the north of the city. Bella inadvertently went to eat with Alice once. After that, she dreamed of that taste.
Kevin sighed, “It’s not that I don’t let you eat, but you keep eating that stuff. It’s not nutritious, understand?”
“Just eat the last time?” Bella held up a finger.
“Really?”
“Yes!”
“Good, if you dare to go back on your word, see how I will fix you.”
Kevin closed his laptop, packed the documents in front of him, and picked up his car keys, “Let’s go.”
They arrived at the Yunnan rice noodle restaurant, sitting at the window seat. Bella looked at the boss who brought over a large bowl of rice noodles. She could not wait to pick up chopsticks and put them into her mouth, “Wow, so hot.”
“Just out of the pot. Let it cool for a while before eating. No one shares it with you.”
Kevin glared at her and thoughtfully handed her the cool water on the table.
“Next time you like to eat, I’ll ask the maids to make it for you, so you don’t have to come all the way over here.”
“Don’t, this is an ancestral secret recipe. How can the maids at home make this flavor?”
“Is it that delicious?” Kevin looked like he didn’t feel that.
“Of course it’s delicious, don’t you like it?”
Kevin honestly said, “No.”
Bella gave Kevin a sidelong glance and pretended to be angry, “You don’t love me and my dog at all.”
“Why?”
“Even if it is something you do not like to eat, you should show that you like to eat because of the woman you love.”
“Then I’m not eating it now?”
Kevin was aggrieved and questioned. Bella skimmed, “Okay, eat, do not talk.”
Bella ate slowly, chewed carefully, and swallowed. Kevin originally did not like to eat, so he ate less. Kevin casually ate a little and put down his chopsticks, waiting for Bella to finish eating before going home.
At this time, Kevin’s cell phone rang. He looked down at the number and said softly, “I’m going out to take a call.”
“Oh, okay.”
Kevin got up and pressed answer while walking outside. A moment later, Kevin hung up the phone and came back with a very gloomy face.
“What’s wrong? Is something wrong?”
Bella was his closest lover, so she naturally knew how to read his mind.
Kevin pondered for a while before speaking slowly, “Wilson is out of prison.”
“Out of prison? How did you get out of jail?” Bella was astonished.
“Someone has pulled strings.”
“Who?”
Bella couldn’t think of anyone who would stand up for her father. At least there was no such a powerful man among the people she knew.
“Gillian.”
Bella’s eyes were suddenly wide open. She was so shocked that her mouth was hung open. Only after half a second did Bella speak, “You said, Gillian?”
“Yes.”
“How is this possible? How could Gillian she have such an ability?”
Bella did not believe it at all.
“She doesn’t have such ability, but that doesn’t mean she won’t go and cling to others.”
“What do you mean?”
“Just now Alvin told me that Gillian married a man who is popular in both black and white six months ago. This man is nicknamed Master White. No one knows his real name.”
“Is he very powerful?”
“He can get your father out of jail. What do you think?”
“Gillian never changes!!!”
Bella was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table. Bella really hated herself for giving Gillian and Colin a chance to live as she was softhearted!
Kevin did not say anything. He seemed to be in deep thought. Bella frowned, “Kevin, you are worrying.”
Kevin nodded, “Yes, what I’m worried about now is not the matter of your father getting out of jail. Wilson can’t make any trouble at all. What I’m worried about is if Master White joins forces with Celeste. It might be a bit troublesome.”
“I’ll go find my father.”
Bella stood up instantly.
“Sit down, why are you going to find him?”
“I’ll ask him to stop Gillian from doing whatever she wants.”
“Will Wilson listen to you? Wilson has never treated you as a daughter. Why will he listen to you?”
Bella was desperate. Yes, it was Bella who personally sent Wilson to prison. Wilson might hate her. How could he possibly listen to her?
Seeing her sad face, Kevin reassured, “Do not worry. It’s not as serious as you think. Even if they join forces, it does not matter. I am not defeated so easily!”
“But if Master White is really as powerful as you say, how are you going to deal with him?”
“He is actually both good and evil. According to the outside world’s evaluation of him, he is not a person who can’t distinguish between right and wrong. The best way to deal with him is to make him stand on my side.”
“Are you kidding? He is now Gillian’s husband. How could he possibly be on your side?”
“We can look on the bright side. Gillian came back this time only to get her father out and didn’t intend to be our enemy.”
Bella shook her head, “Kevin, that’s impossible. I know Gillian too well. She’s so petty.”
“Even if Gillian is our enemy, it doesn’t matter. Master White will not listen to a woman’s instigation. I will try my best to win him to a united front with me before Celeste finds him. Even if he doesn’t help me, he won’t get involved in the struggle between us.”
The next few days, Bella had been palpitating. She was worried about what Gillian would do and what trouble Kevin would have. But after several days of peace, Bella would be gradually relieved. Perhaps as Kevin said, Gillian turned over a new leaf.
On the weekend, Kevin went on a business trip to Dubai. Bella sat idle at home and felt bore. So she decided to go shopping. Lena was now in love with Alvin, so Bella seldom saw her. As soon as Bella went out, two bodyguards followed up, one to pull the car door, the other to drive.
Bella arrived at a shopping mall in the city. She was ready to buy two loose autumn clothes. The two bodyguards were too close to her, and Bella felt quite awkward, so she turned back and said, “You do not need to follow so closely, just keep the distance to not be watched by others.”
When Bella arrived at the women’s clothing counter on the second floor, she picked out a beige tunic and stood in front of the fitting mirror to look if it fitted her. The attendant came over and reminded her, “Miss, you can try it on if you like.”
Bella nodded, “Okay.”
Bella was ready to go into the dressing room, but inadvertently saw a familiar woman from the fitting mirror. She was once Bella’s hostile enemy. Wearing thick makeup, Gillian leisurely stood at the corner not far from the counter, her arms around her chest, looking at Bella sarcastically.
