Bella was very excited after hearing Kevin’s words and asked urgently, “What is your plan?”
Kevin gazed at Bella tenderly for a few moments and poked his finger at the back of her head, “I’m not telling you.”
“How can you do that? Tell me.”
“I won’t tell you.”
“Do you tell me or not?”
Bella started to tickle him. Kevin was itching, and said with a smile, “Stop tickling me. You’re making me hot. I can’t control it later. Don’t scream that your stomach hurts again.”
“Then you tell me?”
Kevin shook his head and said in a serious tone, “You are pregnant no. Do not ask about business dealings. Please concern about how to give birth to beautiful children.”
“Is that the only thing my existence means to you?” Bella turned her back in anger and ignored him.
“What’s wrong?”
“You’re disconnected from me now.”
Kevin was confused, “How am I disconnected from you?”
“You’re always using pregnancy as an excuse to not treat me like one of your own.”
Kevin was helpless, “If I didn’t think of you as one of us, would I tell you that Master White is looking for his son?”
“Is Master White looking for his son important? I don’t care if he can find his son. I only care about how you deal with Celeste.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll be the first to tell you when there’s good news.”
Bella was still upset, “Forget it, since you don’t want me to get involved in these things now, I’ll just go to F City.”
“Why are you going to F City?”
Kevin asked, astonished.
“What else can I do? Of course, I’m going to see my aunt and uncle.”
“A casual visit to Quintin?”
“Huh, how do you know?”
“You’re really going to see him?” Kevin raised an eyebrow and became jealous.
“Yeah, Quintin called me two days ago and asked when I was going to F City. He also said he was going to take me to eat young chicken.”
“Well, this guy is really thoughtful and considerate to you.”
“That’s right. Quintin has known me for more than two years and has never been attentive and considerate to me.”
“You often mention Quintin. Do you regret it? Is it better to choose Quintin other than me?”
“I’m pregnant with your babies. You still complain about it.”
“Why do I hear that you really regret?”
“Actually, to be honest, if I had chosen Quintin, it would have been a good choice.”
“Bella!”
Kevin burst into a fury, “I forbid you to think about another man when you’re pregnant with my children!”
“I’m not thinking about him. You’re the one who brought up the subject …”
“I brought up this topic but I did not make you chatter around this topic. You praise him to be careful and thoughtful, and he is a good choice. You want to piss me off, don’t you?”
“It’s you who likes to be angry. Quintin …
“Stop mentioning Quintin!”
Kevin finally couldn’t stand it anymore, and roughly pushed Bella down on the bed and kissed her on the lips, preventing her from saying anything else.
Bella had a dream at night that Kevin found Master White’s son, which was a handsome young man, but she could only see his back and could not see his face. The more she wanted to see, the more the man would not let her see. Bella chased after him all night. Until she woke up after dawn, she did not see his real face.
“Honey, I had a dream last night.”
“Who did you dream about?”
“I dreamed about Master White’s son.”
“Look, I just can’t talk to you about it. I just told you about finding Master White’s son, and you immediately started to dream it. I know you always think too much. The more I talk to you, the more you think about it.”
Bella was indeed like this. She was worried about Master White’s son all day at the office. Alvin came to see Kevin in the afternoon but saw Bella sitting in the secretary’s office and staring blankly, so he went over to her and teased, “What are you thinking about, ma’am?”
“Huh? Oh, nothing.”
Bella came back to her senses and casually asked, “Looking for Mr. Jones-Sharp?”
“Yes, he’s here, isn’t he?”
“Yes, go in.”
Alvin nodded and turned around to walk towards the CEO’s office. Staring at Alvin’s back, Bella suddenly thought of the dream last night, and then thought of Alvin’s orphan status. It occurred to Bella that Alvin might be Master White’s son…
The more Bella thought about it, the more she thought it was possible. Bella waited anxiously for Alvin to come out to find out what was going on. Twenty minutes later, Alvin came out of the office and Bella immediately ran over to him, “Let me confirm something with you, you …”
“What is it?”
Alvin raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw Bella wanted to say something.
Bella swallowed her saliva. The words died on her lips. Bella felt a little embarrassed to ask Alvin whether there was a birthmark on his thighs or not.
“Forget it, it’s okay, you go.”
Bella waved and didn’t ask him because of feeling embarrassed. Alvin gave her a suspicious glance and stepped into the elevator.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Bella came to Kevin’s office and said, “Kevin, I suspect Alvin might be Master White’s son.”
Kevin was signing some documents and asked without looking up, “What makes you sure?”
“Alvin is an orphan.”
“Alvin is not the only person in the world who is an orphan.”
“He’s about the same age as Master White’s son.”
“Master White wouldn’t have failed to check such an obvious feature.”
Kevin retorted to Bella as soon as she spoke. Bella was a little anxious, “Whether it’s true or not, we always have to confirm it.”
“How to confirm?”
“You call now and ask Alvin if there is a birthmark on his leg.”
“I already asked just now. There’s none.”
Bella was stunned and said reluctantly, “No way, Alvin must be embarrassed so he won’t admit it. Why don’t we just ask him to do DNA with Master White? It’s easy and accurate.”
Kevin finished signing the last document, looked up, and said, “Alvin will think you’re crazy.”
“Even if he thinks I’m crazy, it doesn’t matter. I’m telling you my instincts are always accurate. I think Alvin must be Master White’s son. The man’s back I dreamed of last night was very similar to his.”
“Come on.”
Kevin was a little upset, “You are now a pregnant woman, not Sherlock Holmes, so do not speculate on anything. I will handle Master White’s son’s matter. If you do not listen to me, from tomorrow onwards, you stay at home to take care of the babies. Do not come to work.”
Bella and Kevin could not reach a consensus, and Bella felt indignant, but she did not give up on this. When Bella returned home in the evening, she turned to Lena.
“Lena, may I ask you a rather private question?”
“Oh, what question? Tell me.”
“Does Alvin have a red birthmark the size of a fingernail on his right inner thigh?”
Lena’s face flushed and she said shyly, “Bella, why are you asking such embarrassing questions, how would I know about this?”
“Don’t pretend. I know how far you have gone. You haven’t come home for several nights. Dare you say you didn’t spend the night at Alvin’s place?”
Bella got a point and Lena was suddenly more embarrassed, stammering, “Spend the night … you’re right, but I really do not know if he has that thing on his thighs, and I did not look at his place.”
“Didn’t you notice it once?”
“Well, we basically turned off the lights …”
Bella sighed, “Looks like I’ll have to bother you to check with him.”
“What’s wrong, Bella?”
Lena was confused. What was the point of asking Alvin if there was a birthmark on his leg?
“It happened like this …”
Bella didn’t hide it from Lena and recounted Master White’s search for his son. As soon as Lena heard that, she exclaimed dumbfounded, “You mean, if Alvin has a birthmark like that on his leg, he’s not an orphan, right?”
“Yes.”
“Gosh great, I’ll call him now to confirm!”
Lena excitedly took out her cell phone and quickly dialed Alvin’s number, but it prompted that she couldn’t get through, “It’s strange, why can’t I get through …”
Lena called Alvin again but still couldn’t get through. Bella shrugged, “Forget it, there’s no rush. There’s plenty of time to confirm.”
“What kind of person is Master White?”
“I’ve never met him either. I heard your brother say he’s a great guy, capable at both black and white.”
“So powerful?” Lena’s eyes lit up, “If I had a father-in-law like that, it would be simply too impressive …”
After having dinner in the evening, the family around the living room gossiped. Coincidentally Alvin came, and Lena happily ran over, “Hey, what are you doing here?”
“I’m delivering a document to your brother. Is he here?”
“He’s upstairs. Why couldn’t I get through to you at that time in the evening?”
Alvin recalled, “I was at the feet caring center, maybe there was no service.”
“Feet caring center?” Lena was suddenly furious, “What did you go to there? Did you get a foot massage from a lady?”
“No, I went there with the client.”
“Why did you have to take your client there? Shouldn’t you go to the hotel or KTV?”
“It’s the customer’s request. I always have to meet his need.”
“You’re a liar …”
Lena was chagrined to let go of Alvin’s arm and stood to the side as she looked sulky.
“All right Lena, it is normal to go to the feet caring center to socialize. It’s possible for one to go everywhere to do business. You worry Alvin will get some chicks in the feet caring center. But he also can find some bar girls in KTV or hotels.”
Bella timely interjected, and Blanche immediately said, “That’s right, Alvin is to help our family. Why don’t you appreciate it but blame him?”
Blanche patted the seat beside her, “Alvin, come and sit down.” Alvin sat down next to Blanche.
“When do you plan to marry Lena?”
Lena sat next to her sister-in-law opposite Alvin and Blanche. Hearing Blanche’s question, Lena blushed and her eyes lit up, waiting for Alvin to answer.
“It depends on Whether Lena is willing to marry me. If she is willing to marry me now, Of course, I will.”
