At seven o'clock, just as the two of them sat down in the restaurant, Ada's call came.
"Bella, haven't you returned yet?"
Bella looked at the man sitting opposite her. She didn't want to lie.
"I'm with Mr. William. Ada, you might have to have dinner yourself."
Ada remained silent on the other end of the phone for two seconds. Immediately, her smiling voice sounded, "So, you are dating Mr. William. Alright then, I won't disturb you anymore."
After hanging up, Ada's face instantly turned ashen. She found that Bella did not abandon her love as she had said. Ha, she's just a seemingly noble person, and when encountering an outstanding man, she did will forget what she had said.
Ada thought that Bella was too hypocritical. She orally said that she did not want to get married but it seemed that after she knew Ben, she wished she could marry him tomorrow.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was very good. This was a private restaurant, and only advanced appointments were accepted. The menu was also arranged by the owner himself. It was a very private space with warm yellow lights overhead. It was very peaceful and beautiful here.
This was the first time Bella had come to this kind of restaurant. She was a little nervous and looked out from time to time with her beautiful eyes.
"Bella, can you change the name you call me? Stop addressing me as Mr. William." Ben suddenly asked.
Bella was shocked, "Then what should I call you? President William?"
"Do you have to call me that? You can call me by my name." Ben frowned.
Bella forced a smile, "Alright."
Ben reached out to pour her tea. "Are you thirsty? You drank two glasses of water as soon as you came in."
Only then did Bella realize that she was feeling anxious and uneasy. She was a little embarrassed.
"No, I'm just a little nervous." Bella lowered her eyes.
"What's there to be nervous about? You can relax when you're with me. I won't make things difficult for you." Ben couldn't help but laugh. With a smile, his temperament changed. He wasn't as expressionless as when she first met him. At that time, he seemed to be like a cold fish. But now he was gentle enough, giving people a feeling of being easy to get along with.
Bella's palms were sweating. It was because she was with him that she was nervous. If it was not Ben but another man, she wouldn't.
"Ben, if … if I refuse to get together with you, will you be angry?" Bella gathered her courage and asked.
The man's hand that was holding the cup instantly froze. His deep eyes stared straight at her face, "Lifelong refusing?"
"Uh, I... I'm afraid of marriage." Bella really didn't want to lie to him anymore. She had to tell him facts honestly.
"That's only because you haven't met a man who you want to marry." Ben's thin lips curled up, and his smile was mysterious and charming.
Bella was enchanted by the smile at the corner of his mouth, and her brain lost consciousness.
