A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1517

Bella returned with a hot drink and dinner for two.

She bought pumpkin porridge for the two of them.

Charlie didn't say anything. He picked up the porridge bowl and ate elegantly.

It tasted nice.

Seeing him eating, Bella smiled slightly. Her cheeks turned pink.

They finished dinner in the car and then drove on.

The place where Bella lived was remote. The car drove for a long while before it arrived.

Bella got out of the car and stood in a place that sheltered her from the rain, looking at him. "Mr. Morgan, be careful on the road!"

Charlie grunted quietly.

Bella thought of something. She went forward, found a book in her bag, and handed it to him. "I feel you're in a bad mood these days. I bought a joke book. If you have time, you can read it."

Charlie rubbed the book with his long, warm fingers, looking at Bella.

Bella was timid, not daring to meet his eyes. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and clasped her hands with embarrassment. "I like reading it. It's interesting and can make me happy."

Charlie’s face softened. He curved his lips faintly. "Go back now."

Bella nodded and turned to walk towards home.

Charlie didn't leave immediately, lying on his back on the seat and flipping through the joke book.

Bella returned home, put down her bag, and intended to go to the kitchen to make dinner.

Her mom was weak, and her dad had gone to the construction site.

Bella habitually went to her mom's room first. She pushed the door open but didn't see her mom. She frowned in confusion and went to the bathroom. Her face turned white in shock.

Her mom was lying on the floor in the bathroom in a coma.

Bella was terrified, calling her mother repeatedly.
