Bella's back stiffened for fear. She wasn't very familiar with him. What could she lie about?
"I'm sorry, Mr. William. Don't be angry. I don't mean to question you. My parents' marriage was destroyed by a third party, and that's why I care about this matter." Bella didn't dare to offend him any more and quickly explained.
"Have you done eating?" Ben knew that she didn't mean to offend him, but even if she wasn't intentional, he still didn't like to be questioned.
"I've done. I'll tidy up." Then she stood up and quickly cleaned the table.
Yet Ben said indifferently, "Don't pack up now. Wait until you get your things and come back."
"Mr. William, are you really going to give me your key? You … why do you trust me?" Bella was almost short of breath. Ever since she was young, everyone in her family had remained suspicious about her. Thus she never expected that this man would actually trust in her.
"Would you do anything bad?" The man stood up, and his tall figure brought her much pressure. As he spoke, he walked towards her dangerously and asked in a deep voice.
Bella was so scared that her head went numb. She quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, I won't do anything bad, and I won't dare."
"I didn't expect you to have the guts." Ben looked down at her condescendingly and chuckled.
Bella felt that her heart almost stopped beating when his gaze fixed at her just now. "Oh my God, I can't stand it. "She thought. Could this man control his charm? If he keep turning on like this, he shouldn't blame her for doing bad things.
Her heartbeat accelerated. She had never felt this way, and such feeling was too strong to be ignored.
She lowered her eyes in sadness. Her life had already been a mess, and yet she could not control her heart and fell in love with this charming man so easily. She should not continue. Otherwise, she would only be injured in the end. She did not have the confidence to win this man's heart. "Why are you blushing again?" Ben noticed that this woman seemed to blush a lot. He only approached her, and her fair face was as red as an apple.
Bella was so taken aback that her breathing went laboured. She didn't even dare to raise her head to look into the man's eyes.
Ben stopped teasing her. He turned around and walked towards the door. Bella quickly followed him. The scene that they left the house together circled in Bella's mind. Why did it look like a couple going out?
Stop! She was overthinking again.
They couldn't be together. She promised that she would abandon love heartlessly and never get married. Her parents' disastrous marriage had lasted for many years, but was still over at the end. Was she going to jump into that trouble so quickly?
Thinking of all these years when her mother washed her face with tears day and night, threw things and cursed endlessly like a madwoman ; thinking of her indifferent father, Bella couldn't help but trembling. There was nothing more sobering than these memories.
People said that she should hate her father and pity her mother. However, she knew that marital discord was not the fault of one person. As long as she could remember, Mother had been paranoid. She often flipped through Father's cell phone, ran to his company to follow him, hired someone to put a tracking device in his car, and even injured several female clients of him. Thus Father's feelings for Mother gradually faded. At first, Father took care of her and never mentioned divorce, but at that time, his love for Mother had gone.
Bella lowered her head, extremely depressed. Maybe all of this came from the fact that she was not a boy. If she were a boy, Grandma would definitely love her very much.
