"Well, Bella, what are you doing? How can I take your money?" Adah hurriedly pushed her card away. "Aunt, you misunderstand. I didn't want to buy you off. I think it's inevitable that you'll be tired from taking care of my Grandma and Mom every day. Take this money. If my Grandma and Mom need to buy something, you need money." Bella forced a smile and said.
"Bella, you've really grown up. I'm impressed. Alright, since you said so, I'll keep it for now and buy some delicious food for your Grandma and Mom another day." Adah immediately took the card.
Bella said gratefully, "Thank you, aunt. My mother has to stay here for a few more days. I have to go back to school, so call me if you need anything."
"I see. You are getting more and more sensible. Your mother should enjoy a good life now. However, fate is cruel." Adah suddenly became kind and sighed.
Bella did not want to hear her hypocritical words. She packed up her things and knocked on the door to say goodbye to her mother. Only then did she go downstairs to look for her Grandma.
When Grandma saw her carrying the bag, she immediately asked, "Bella, where are you going?"
Bella walked to her Grandma and said in a low voice, "Grandma, I've thought about it carefully. I can't take my mother back now. Let her stay here for a few more days. At least wait for my father to get married."
"It's fine. Let her stay here. She can accompany me for a walk when she's free." Grandma said gently.
"Well, then I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything." Bella knew that her Grandma would definitely have no objections. Tears came to her eyes.
"Be careful on the way, child." Elaine showed her to the door with concern.
"Okay." Bella held back her tears and quickly turned around.
He took a taxi and headed straight for the airport.
By the time she got home, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Bella went downstairs to the supermarket and bought quite a few things. With difficulty she brought them to Ben's house. At this moment, he shouldn't be off work yet. Fortunately, she had a key. So, she opened the door and walked in.
Unexpectedly, just as she opened the door, a tall figure walked down the stairs. Ben wore a gray pajama and stood lazily in the middle of the stairs. He stared at the girl who just walked in.
"Mr. William, so you're home?" When Bella saw him, her pretty face turned red and her entire body became nervous.
Ben's slender body slowly walked down the stairs.
"Why are you back?" The man's voice was even deeper and huskier when he woke up.
Bella lowered her head and didn't dare to look at his handsome and sexy face. She whispered, "My mother is fine. She told me to come back to my class, so I came back."
"Oh, what are you holding in your hand?" Ben didn't continue asking. He looked at the bag in her hands and asked.
"I just went to the supermarket to buy this. There are fruits and some food." Bella was so nervous. She suddenly felt the man slowly approaching her and she opened her eyes wide, not daring to move.
She didn't know when the relationship between her and Ben seemed to have changed. In the past, she still felt that she and Ben were equal, but ever since she found out about his identity and received his help, Bella somehow placed herself in a low place. Even if she raised her head, she still needed to look up to him.
Ben saw her head lowered, so he couldn't help reaching out and lifting her chin, "What's wrong? You don't want to see me?"
Bella just felt that the fingers on her chin were so hot, as if there was fire burning inside her, and she took a couple of frightened steps backwards, her head hitting the wall.
"Stupid." Ben couldn't help laughing at her when he saw her embarrassing behavior.
