"Bella, I want to go back to your grandmother's house for a few days. Aren't you going to school soon? After you send me back to your grandmother's house tomorrow, you'll just go back to school. Mom won't take care of you anymore. Take care of yourself." Susan suddenly missed her mother very much.
"Alright, I'll take you back grandmother's home tomorrow." Bella nodded and agreed.
That night, in the new room, Bella slept peacefully. She didn't hear the voice that her mother broke stuff anymore.
The next morning, they drove to the airport. Bella bought a plane ticket and took the earliest flight with her mother, which they flew back to another city. That afternoon, she also bought a plane ticket and flew back.
Bella felt a little sad in her heart. She could feel relieved that her grandmother could take care of her mother well. However, she was alone, so she was somewhat panicked.
She drove the car back to the community. Because there was no parking lot, she could only go to find the super and ask. She heard that someone was willing to rent the parking lot, but the rent was extremely expensive. Although Bella had money, she could not spend it randomly. Therefore, she could only endure the pain of parking her car outside and let it exposure.
Bella held a bottle of milk and sat in the garden downstairs. The greening of the community was very good. It contained both classical and modern elements, just like an exquisite garden.
Bella bent down and picked up a small stone. Then she threw it into the lake and splashed with water. Ben picked up something and passed by an arch bridge. When he heard the sound of the water, he raised his eyes and saw Bella sitting on the other side. She was thoughtful. Her hands supported her chin, and she stared at the water. Her dark eyes seemed to be empty.
Ben was stunned for a moment. This girl … Why was she sitting here alone?
Ben should have left and directly returned home, but for some reason, he walked around the corridor and arrived in front of her.
The sun was covered by someone and the shadows fell. Bella raised her head blankly and saw the tall man standing in front of her. He stood against the sun and looked at her with a heavy gaze.
"It's you?" When Bella saw him, she still lowered her head. She was no longer surprised by what she saw.
Ben narrowed his eyes. For some reason, the gaze she looked at him just now was like a kitten that had been abandoned. It carried a deep sense of loneliness and sorrow. It made people feel pitiful and heartache. "The last time you went to the hotel to catch your father's affairs? Did you catch him?" Ben wanted to find a topic to talk about, but he didn't expect that he was looking for the worst topic.
"You saw it all? Isn't it embarrassing?" Bella laughed herself. He had seen her ugliest side, and she felt that she could be always humiliating in front of him.
"Are you alright with the wounds on your face?" Ben stared at her and discovered that there were faint scratches on her forehead and cheeks, but she seemed to completely ignore them and did not deal with them.
Bella shook her head, "It's fine. Anyway, it won't be disfigured."
Seeing her attitude, Ben looked at her in a new view. Didn't all the young girls care about their faces? But why did she seem to not care about it, as if she had lost her enthusiasm for life?
"Are you still living with your family?" Ben thought and asked.
"No, I live alone now." Bella felt that this man was asking a lot of questions. Therefore, she became vigilant, "Why are you asking so many questions? Do I know you well?"
Ben was stunned. Alright, he wasn't familiar with her. Why did he care so much about her?
