A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1648

Her voice was very feeble, and her face was bloodless because she hadn't eaten for days.

Her mother said, "Then you should give up, Bella. Maybe he's indeed not the right guy for you."

Bella's hands clenched hard around the quilt as transports of emotions flooded over her in waves. "Are you suggesting I let it go?

"What else could you possibly do?"

"It's been such a long time, and now you're asking me to quit?" Bella asked bitterly, staring at her.

"There's nothing else you can do. You and Charlie are not meant to be together. Much as I like him, this is clearly not going to work out between you two."

Bella bit her lip tightly. Her sharp canine teeth even left deep marks on it.

She sat there quietly, saying no more.

Not knowing what Bella was thinking, her mother wanted to say something, but after giving it some thought, she remained silent and walked out.

Bella was now the only one left in the room.

Hugging her knees, she rested her chin on her kneecaps. Nobody knew what she had in mind.

It was a long while before she pulled out her cellphone, called Charlie and requested him to meet her in Blue Bay Cafe.

Charlie refused flatly, believing that there was no need for them to meet again at all.

Bella tightened her grip on her phone, feeling as if her heart were being cut in half.

It was as if the tender flesh of her heart were exposed, blood gushing out of the wound inexorably.

After hanging up, Charlie told Grace honestly, "It was Bella. She wanted to see me. I rejected her. In no circumstances will I see her again."

"Now you're only my chauffeur and assistant. You just have to do your job As for your private matters, you don't have to explain any of them to me. Firstly, I'm not interested, and secondly, it'll distract me from my work. Understand?"

Grace was still scribbling away quickly with her pen. Her tone of voice was particularly casual and cavalier.
